Majella O'Donnell hits back at 'nasty' trolls after confusion over Late Late Show comments

Majella O'Donnell has hit back at nasty trolls after comments she made on the Late Late Show.

Majella, the wife of Daniel O'Donnell, said on Friday's show how flying to Dublin to Donegal was similar to a private jet because of how few people were on it.

However some people misinterpreted the comments and believed that Daniel and Majella actually travelled by private jet.

Replying to a fan who pointed this out, Majella said: "Al last! Someone with common sense! Of course we didn't take a private plane!!!

"It was a joke because there was only three of us on the plane it felt like a private plane. This flight operates every day to Dublin and has done for years."

She also replied to a now deleted tweets saying: "No we don’t actually! Just trying to do the right thing even though you get nasty comments like this."

Majella and Daniel were on the Late Late Show helping raise awareness for St Vincent De Paul.

Viewers raised more than €700,000 for the charity during the show.

They later tweeted: "This is incredible! We are so grateful to the  late late viewers who continue to support the work of SVP.

"We know first hand the difference this will make to so many people who are struggling at the moment."
