Claire Byrne from Mountrath had Bernard O'Shea from Durrow on her RTÉ show this week
"Can I have your number?"
That was the sign shown by comedian Durrow Bernard O'Shea showed from inside a zorb when he appeared on Mountrath native's Claire Byrne Live show on RTÉ on Monday night.
After showing the sign to Claire, the Laois comedian added.
