RTE Late Late Show viewers react to 'national treasure' Brenda Fricker

RTE Late Late Show viewers have taken to Twitter to applaud "national treasure" Brenda Fricker after her hilarious appearance.

The Oscar winner's honesty when it came to discussing her agoraphobia, rescue dog and reluctance to receive praise as an Irish woman captured the hearts of the country. Some viewers said they would queue for 20 hours to have a pint with the Dublin woman, with others blown away by her witty comebacks.

Here's what they had to say:

"Brenda Fricker is a national treasure."

"Brenda Fricker is a tonic - what a woman."

"Honestly, I’d line up for 20 hours to have a Guinness with Brenda Fricker."

"Brenda Fricker at nearly 80 would buy and sell anyone, sharp as nails."

"Brenda is a one-off, not a show-off."
