Father-Son Team Paudie and Andrew Transition from The Traitors to This Week’s Gogglebox Ireland

Father-son duo Paudie and Andrew Moloney will feature on this week’s episode of Gogglebox Ireland. Their transition from the competitive atmosphere of The Traitors to relaxed TV commentary offers a refreshing change. They will be joined by Aoife Moloney, Paudie’s daughter and Andrew’s sister, making it a family affair.

From The Traitors to Gogglebox Ireland

Paudie expressed his excitement, saying, “I’m really looking forward to doing Gogglebox. It’s always a favorite in our house.” He noted that watching TV and enjoying biscuits together without the stress of competition will be a pleasant switch. This week’s episode airs on Wednesday at 9 PM on Virgin Media Play and Virgin Media One.

A Look Back at The Traitors

The father-son bond was a standout element of The Traitors’ inaugural season. During the show, they cleverly concealed their relationship from other contestants, adding layers of intrigue. Paudie emerged as a beloved character, often affectionately referred to as ‘The Paud-Father’ by fans on social media.

  • Location: Kilmallock, Co Limerick
  • Occupation:
    • Paudie – Retired prison officer (68 years old)
    • Andrew – Civil servant

To further the deception, Andrew pretended to hail from Co Cork, where he works, creating confusion among contestants. A memorable moment occurred when Andrew accidentally called Paudie “daddy” in earshot of the group, leading to an eventual revelation after Paudie’s elimination.

Finale Highlights and Prize Money

As one of the original traitors, Paudie garnered significant support. He outlasted fellow traitors Eamon and Katelyn, forming a team with Andrew in the process. However, their strategy didn’t succeed as they were ultimately exposed.

The show culminated with the remaining loyal players, Oyin Adeyemi, Vanessa Ogbonna, and Kelley Higgins winning the grand prize of €42,900. The shift from the tense environment of The Traitors to the familiarity of Gogglebox Ireland is one that the Moloneys are looking forward to, bringing their unique family dynamic to a new platform.
