CLARE native, Michelle McGrath is set to feature in Virgin Media Television’s brand-new Irish dating show Grá ar an Trá.
The programme starts this Monday, September 25 at 9pm on Virgin Media One.
Grá ar an Trá sees Gráinne Seoige, James Kavanagh and Síomha Ní Ruairc run the rule over 10 singletons as they head to the Gaeltacht, brushing up on their cúpla focal while also looking for love.
Their ultimate aim? To be crowned the ‘couple with the most focail’ and walk away with a grand prize to the value of €10,000.
Contestants will split their time between flirting and the foclóir, idir grá agus Gaeilge.
Through fun tasks, cheeky challenges and romantic rendezvous, the couples will compete all while dusting up on their Irish.
Speaking ahead of the first programme, Michelle said: "Every girl deserves someone who treats her well and puts in the effort to do nice things for her. I feel like I've been through it all and I know what I deserve. I can spot a game player a mile away so I'm not here to put up with that."
Limerick man Seán Ó Maoilchiaráin, who is also taking part in the show said: “I'm looking for a bit of craic, to share my passion for Gaeilge and who knows, I might even find love along the way."
Grá ar an Trá starts this Monday, September 25 at 9pm on Virgin Media One.
