The Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show

It’s the second-last Dancing with the Stars and Ray is absolutely glued to it.

Arthur Gourounlian has a wildly steamy vision of Ray and JP on the dancefloor next year, before Karen Byrne happily piles on with even more awkward detail.

A simple DWTS chat turns into pure, unfiltered Gift Grub chaos.

The Late Late Show is off this Friday, and on this morning’s Gift Grub, that news sends Ian and Daniel into a proper spin.

Daniel is absolutely flipping furious — not because he loves it… but because he needs it. How are people meant to “hate watch” it on socials if it’s not even on? And all because there’s a rugby match on another channel, hours earlier.

Remote work means you barely see your colleagues anymore… so when everyone finally rocks back into the office, it’s all “Howya! You’re looking well!”

On this morning’s Gift Grub, the compliments are flying as Gerry, Alan, Sheila, Marcus and the gang reveal their “secrets” — giving up biscuits, “extreme Lent”, paddle (three times a day!) and even Tai Chi.

But when the weight loss stories start getting a bit too perfect, the truth comes out in classic Gift Grub style… and it ends with a full-blown musical confession.
