A Co Fermanagh couple who run a B&B near the village of Belleek are to feature in a Channel 4 series to be aired next week.
Bridie and James Gormley, who run Dulrush Fishing Lodge in the border village, will appear alongside three other B&B owners from Northern Ireland in ‘Four in a Bed’.
The series was filmed last October, with the show to run on Channel 4 starting on Monday 24 October and running for the remainder of the week.

The show involves the different holiday accommodation owners staying at each others’ guesthouses and rating their experience, with the winner being decided by the best average score.
Speaking to Belfast Live, Bridie said it was a great opportunity to be part of the show and is looking forward to it airing on Monday.
“We saw the advertisement for it last year and decided to apply for it, after a few checks and screening we were chosen to go on the programme,” Bridie said.
“The filming was last year and it was a full two weeks where we went and stayed at the other’s and they came to stay here with us.
“We stayed in a whole variety of places and it was great to see other types of accommodation. Some of them were glamping but when people came to us they had a more traditional experience.”
Dulrush is a guesthouse with an outdoor spa near the River Erne, and Bridie added that herself and James wanted to show their native county off in a good light.
Although she says she’s not biased, it was an easy task due to Co Fermanagh’s natural beauty.
“Honestly no matter how hard you would try to showcase the beauty of Fermanagh, you would never do justice to it,” Bridie said.
“I’m not biased but it’s the most beautiful county in the country because of the lakes and the variety of scenery and landscapes that you can find here.”
You can catch ‘Four in a Bed’ featuring Bridie and James from next Monday 24 October at 5pm on Channel 4.
