Tommy Tiernan and co-hosts taking five-month break from popular podcast

Tommy Tiernan and his co-hosts are taking a five-month long break from their popular podcast.

Tommy, Hector O hEochagain, and Laurita Blewitt posted a video on the podcast's Instagram account this afternoon telling their 49.5k followers that they are "so grateful" for the love the podcast has received over the past two-and-a-half years - but it is time for them to take a break.

The post said: "after 2 and a half years and over 20 million listens we are taking a well-earned break from April 3rd until this coming September."

The video shows the group in a pub with some pints of Guinness as they assure their listeners that they will be back. Tommy said: "we look forward to talking to ye once the kids go back to school." Laurita added: "it's a creative break as they say in the business."

The caption also assured their members only listeners that this will not affect their subscription. The post said: "Current member’s only subscription fees will be paused until we return in September and you will still have access to all of your episodes.

The comments were flooded with disappointed but understanding fans. One person said: "What am I going to do without you. enjoy your break!"

Another follower said: "Will miss ye on my walks of a Monday and Thursday. Enjoy the break and looking forward to September already"
