Eoghan Quigg has hinted he was, unknowingly, the “original victim” of the infamous GAA Catfish.
The Northern Irish singer, who shot to fame on The X Factor back in 2008, teased another shock twist to the serial catfisher’s web of lies in a video shared on TikTok.
In the video, the 32-year-old shared a series of online comments suggesting he had been an early target of the relentless imposter.

One comment said, “Wonder does he know he was one of the first victims?” while another read, “When you know the GAA Catfish began with Eoghan Quigg 15 years ago.”
Another commenter claimed, “I clearly remember a photo of him and her pretending to stay at his house and all,” and a fourth person alleged, “I remember her telling me she was texting Eoghan and showing the messages like they were flirting, little did we know she was probably using a fake account.”
Eoghan captioned the video: “Am I the original victim of the GAA Catfish?”
After tagging The 2 Johnnies in his post and suggesting they record a “part 4” of the GAA Catfish series, Eoghan revealed that the pair followed him on Instagram, and send him a DM.

Last week, The 2 Johnnies Podcast shared the third instalment of The GAA Catfish series, a story that captivated the nation in 2022.
Almost three years on from when Johnny B was hoodwinked by Cora O’Donovan aka Nicki it seems nothing has changed for this serial catfisher.
The update to this unbelievable story has kept the country and indeed the world on tenterhooks.
The 2 Johnnies have since been flooded with emails from people who claim to have been catfished by the GAA Catfish, some going back 15 years.

They have also heard from a number of women whose pictures were used as part of this elaborate fake world, and some of those women are now considering next steps.
During an exclusive interview with Goss.ie, a young woman who had her photos stolen by the GAA Catfish said she was considering taking action against the imposter, who she branded “dangerous”.
An official investigation has now been launched in Northern Ireland surrounding the GAA Catfish.

In a statement to the Sunday World, a spokesperson for the PSNI confirmed: “Police received a report of harassment on Monday, 13th January. Enquiries are ongoing.”
The podcast duo said ahead of the release of Part 3 of the GAA catfish: “In 2022, we never imagined revisiting The GAA Catfish. But as new stories emerged, we felt compelled to act.
“This episode is not about shaming anyone but about raising awareness and preventing further harm. It’s time to address this issue and call on social media companies to do more to combat fake profiles.”
