Meet the three Dubliners who shot to fame after viral TikTok accents video

Three of the Dubliners who shot to attention on TikTok with their viral accents video will appear on tonight's Late Late Show.

They posted a video which surprised social media users by 'trying' to speak Dublin slang.

Tolu Ibikunle, Susan Ilesanmi, and Okefe Afe will speak to Ryan Tubridy on RTE One about the video and reaction since.

It was posted as part of a challenge to attempt slang from another country - mostly on popular social media platform TikTok.

Dubliner Tolu Ibikunle, who is aged 20, her pals Susan, Tejiri and Okefe decided to take on the challenge under the pretence that they had strong Nigerian accidents.

Tolu was born in Nigeria but moved to Ireland with her family when she was one, her other three friends were all born in Ireland.

Viewers were blown away when their real Dublin accents came out.

The viral video shows the four women 'attempting' to say phrases that would be used reguarly by Dublin people including "G'wan you mad thing!"
