Not many people know that Ryan Tubridy's family own a unique hotel in the west of Ireland - and it comes with a rather strange receptionist.
The RTE Radio host is a huge fan of Galway and often stays in his cousin's Connemara hotel when he is visiting the county.
His cousins run The Abbeyglen Castle Hotel in Clifden, which Tubridy described as a place "filled with soul and fun" and he even starred as a concierge in promo video for the hotel in 2015.

The former Late Late Show presenter previously told RSVP Magazine: "The Abbeyglen in Galway is run by cousins of mine. It is a hotel that has soul, it has a sense of fun and doesn’t take itself too seriously.
"I love a night of piano, pints and messing. And there is a parrot at reception, what is not to love?"
Eating in the area is also a favourite of his and Tubridy said he simply loves wholesome Irish food with a bit of craic.
Ryan said: "There are very few things that beat the Irish stew in Mitchell’s in Clifden, Co. Galway. Lamb stew with loads of potatoes... I think about it a lot."
And what is the biggest hidden treasure in Ireland? "I don’t really want to unveil that because it is mine!," he joked.
"I will say that one of the greatest unsung treats in the world is to go to Dog’s Bay Beach in Roundstone, followed by chowder and a pint in O’Dowd’s with the smell of peat turf in the air.
"Whatever the weather, it will always be a little patch of heaven."
