Grainne Seoige praises working with 'fun' Virgin Media

The Galway native will host the station’s new dating show, Gra Ar An Tra, alongside James Kavanagh and Síomha Ní Ruairc, which sees 10 singletons put through their paces to learn Irish to find love.

Grainne said she felt working with Virgin Media was "great fun", saying they are a "very agile TV company".She said: "I worked with TV3, TG4 and RTE and Sky News as well in this country. Every single station has its own personality and has its own priorities and has its own way of looking at things. I’ve enjoyed my time with all of them, but I suppose coming back to Virgin Media has felt like coming home in many ways. I spent a long time there.

"It’s great fun. I love its light approach to things and how flexible the company is and how it moves and changes. I enjoy that about them. It is a very agile TV company." Grainne previously opened up about her new dating show, telling us it won’t be anything like Love Island."That’s not what Grá ar an Trá is at all. It is very different to that. There is a small hot tub outside. They do climb into it but that is not what the central setting is. It is the house itself and the garden and then it’s the challenges and activities and then we do some Irish dancing with them.

"We did a sports day on the beach. They had lots of different activities to do that were uniquely Irish and reflect on our upbringing in this country. It’s not trying to be like other dating shows. Obviously, there is that element of people being attracted to each other and pairing each other up so there is that but I think it is uniquely Irish.
