Viewers completely fell in love with Gay Byrne’s wife during the Late Late Show this week.
Kathleen Watkins joined Ryan Tubridy in studio to talk about her first book which she has just released – children’s book PigÃn of Howth.
But it was her beauty that people couldn’t stop talking about.
Viewers took to Twitter to share their awe at Gay’s other-half, with men and women admitting Kathleen looks incredible aged 82.
Take a look:

Although some people weren’t too impressed that RTE brought out a former Late Late Host’s wife on to the show…
Next week Pat Kenny gardener with his new book ” my fence & me” #latelate

Fair play to Ryan giving Kathleen a platform to promote her book, instead of, y’know, an up & coming artist without a profile#latelate
