Alison Spittle

Alison has become well-known for her #Covideo parties where ‘guests’ watch a film at the same time and livetweet their thoughts and witticisms. You’ll usually catch them at around 9pm most evenings and the effort Alison puts into her costumes has to be admired.

Aisling Bea

She might be making waves in Hollywood but Aisling’s sense of humour was moulded right here in Ireland. She’s as much craic on Twitter as she is on the telly and if you’re aren’t following then what are you doing?

My pyjama bottoms have been looking at me all week like a wife whose distant husband has suddenly come home early from work with flowers & asking her how her day has been. Why this attention? Why now?
