Gráinne’s Yoga Hopes
Gráinne Seoige, well-known TV personality, is considering involving her sister Síle in her upcoming dating show. After experiencing the benefits of yoga, Gráinne (50) hopes Síle (45), a professional yoga teacher, will teach yoga to contestants in the next season of Grá ar an Trá.
Síle’s Yoga Skills
Gráinne has been impressed by Síle’s yoga teaching and admits that the idea of her sister leading yoga sessions for the show’s participants is appealing. “You know what, anything is possible. I think that’s a great idea, I will put it to the producers for next year,” she said.
Tantric Yoga Concerns
When asked about trying tantric yoga—a practice involving touch between partners—Gráinne reacted with surprise. “No, not with my sister!” she exclaimed, then laughed when clarified that the question was about her South African husband, Leon.
Gráinne’s Business Ventures
Gráinne and Leon run a diamond company together. Leon also operates a barbecue parts business in Galway. However, Gráinne declined to discuss her potential candidacy for Fianna Fáil in Galway West at the upcoming general election. She has submitted her name for consideration at the local convention, where 500 members will decide her candidacy.
Defending Show Costs
Gráinne defended the nearly €1 million cost of Grá ar an Trá, which airs on Virgin Media TV. The show, which receives €500,000 in taxpayer funding, has been criticized for its expense. “I’m really proud that Virgin Media is making programs ‘as Gaeilge’ after 25 years, acknowledging the market that is there,” Gráinne said.
Show Insights
On the show, Gráinne, along with James Kavanagh and Síomha Ní Ruairc, helps select a winning couple from 12 singles. She’s excited about this season’s contestants, noting that many fluent Irish speakers are from outside the Gaeltacht and have a passion for the language. Gráinne mentioned that participants must be willing to learn and practice Irish or risk being sent home.
Conclusion
Gráinne Seoige’s involvement in the show continues to generate interest, and her sister’s potential role in teaching yoga could add a new dimension to the program.
