ARTHUR Gourounlian and Donal Skehan have been left overjoyed after their podcast hit number one for a second week.
The Dancing With The Stars judge and his RTE chef pal Donal Skehan recently launched their very own podcast titled Let’s Do This.
The popular duo have been “besties” for over seven years and their combined sense of humour has always been a major hit with followers.
Over the years, Arthur and Donal have always poked fun at each other online, with hilarious prank videos, inside jokes and cheeky moments – and now are taking that to the podcast space with their new series Let’s Do This.
The podcast launched just two weeks ago and has already proved to be major hit with listeners.
Taking to Instagram yesterday, Arthur revealed that the podcast has stayed at the number one spot in the charts for over two weeks.
In a delighted post, the 44-year-old gushed: “Happy Saturday, you gorgeous people! Honestly, I’m completely speechless. I don’t even know how to begin to thank every single one of you who tuned in to our LET’S DO THIS!
“Since we @donalskehan launched last Thursday, we’re number one for the second week in a row, and I’m still trying to wrap my head around it.”
The dad-of-two told followers that he never thought “in a million years” that he would have a number one podcast.
He added: “And with my bestie, no less!”
The celebrity dancer highlighted how this week five years ago both Donal and Arthur moved from LA to Ireland to start a new life.
The TV star said: “While so much has happened since then, this was never on the cards. It just goes to show that sometimes you’ve got to take the plunge, back yourself, and just try and go for it.”
Arthur exclaimed: “We love you. We appreciate you. And oh my God, we are NUMBER ONE!”
The popular pair are currently charting ahead of major podcasts such as Vogue Williams and Joanne McNally‘s My Therapist Ghosted Me, and The 2 Johnnies.
The show has already generated some hysterical stories with holiday mishaps, text message blunders and wedding drama.
Last week, Donal even told followers how he was “hanging on by a thread” during an “insane” week of solo parenting with his kids.
The Irish chef and his wife Sofie, tied the knot back in 2015 in Dublin‘s City Hall surrounded by loved ones – including their dog Max.
Now, 10 years on the lovebirds share two kids together, Noah, seven, and five-year-old Ollie.
But, Donal revealed that his wife Sofie jetted off to Los Angeles for a few days, leaving him to mind their two boys on his own.
The famous cook explained: “I was parenting solo for five days because Sofie actually went back to LA.”
Arthur quickly cut across and joked: “And I have a question for you, how did you cope because let’s be honest, you were probably having a nervous breakdown.”
Donal replied: “I was hanging on by a thread. Those children – no one prepares you for boys.”
He then admitted: “I am not a football dad, I want to do arts and crafts, do a bit of cooking, some baking.
“Those boys are absolutely insane in the membrane. They are wild.”
Donal had Arthur in stitches as he revealed the chaos his two little ones caused during the week.
He added: “The level of which they get to, I am constantly surprised.”
Arthur, who shares two daughters with his husband Brian Dowling, said: “It’s so funny you have boys, and what are the chances we have two girls.
“But there’s a saying. Boys wreck your house but the girls wreck your head – and I feel like they are coming for us.”
Donal went on to say: “I basically hung on by a thread when Sofie was in Los Angeles for five days.”
CELEBRITY Big Brother is set to air at a later slot tonight amid the Mikey Rourke axing drama.
The ITV reality series returned on Monday and has been aired at 9pm each night, except for on Saturday when it takes a break.
The fly-on-the-wall show returns tonight, but has been pushed back by an hour, meaning the episode kicks off at 10pm.
It has been moved to a later slot on the TV schedule to make way for the detective show Grace.
CBB will air at 10pm on Sunday next week as well.
ITV fans will have to wait that extra bit longer tonight to see the drama unfold after Hollywood’s Mickey was booted off.
The Sun revealed today that the actor kicked off at fellow housemate Chris Hughes during a task.
ITV released a statement on Saturday night stating Mickey had “agreed to leave” the house following “further use of inappropriate language and instances of unacceptable behaviour.”
Mickey’s final outburst came after Love Island’s Chris threw the Oscar nominee a side eye during the task, where the housemates were dressed up as pirates.
Mickey went for the star and the situation unravelled.
A source said: “Mickey didn’t like Chris disrespecting him with the side eye and went for him with loads of smack talk.
“On this occasion it was offensive, threatening and aggressive.
“However it didn’t get physical and security nor producers did not need to intervene.
“Mickey was called to the diary room and in discussion about his ongoing bad behaviour, he agreed to leave.”
The Sun understands that no physical altercation took place.
The Sun revealed today how ITV bosses have slashed Mickey’s £500,000 show fee after he repeatedly caused chaos in the house.
A source said: “Mickey won’t be receiving all his money from ITV.
“If a celebrity gets removed from the house, they don’t get the full fee. It’s as simple as that and they will be discussing that with him.
“Mickey was ready to leave the house and it ended up feeling like a mutual decision between him and ITV in the end. It was getting too much.”
Mickey, who won a Bafta and was Oscar-nominated for 2008 film The Wrestler, first fell foul of his fellow housemates when he directed offensive slurs at US singer JoJo Siwa, who is a lesbian.
The insider added: “The production team are concerned Mickey is going to push it too far. He’s completely off the scale in the house and he’s not calming down.
“Mickey has also been threatening to break down the fire door to get out. They’re at their wits’ end with his antics.”
ITV issued a statement when Mickey was removed and said: “Mickey Rourke has agreed to leave the Celebrity Big Brother house this evening following a discussion with Big Brother regarding further use of inappropriate language and instances of unacceptable behaviour.”
Celebrity Big Brother is back for a brand new series, with a whole host of stars set to live it up in the famous compound.
