Leitrim farmer Stella stole the show on the Late Late last night

'And me knowing nothing about sheep!'

Some kids are born for the telly – and this girl is one of them.

Stella McGirl captured the nation’s hearts when she appeared on the Late Late Toy Show in December.

She made her triumphant return to our screens last night and it’s fair to say we fell in love with her all over again.

The Leitrim native was on the Late Late to tell host Ryan Tubridy all about lambing season.

She was quick to share it wasn’t actually her area of expertise.

“You’ve been visiting sheep farms this week,” Ryan told her.

“I have, yeah,” she replied. “And me knowing nothing about sheep! I’m only into cattle and stuff like that!”

Stella also made it clear that her TV ambitions don’t stop at the Late Late.

“Is this something you’d be interested in doing growing up, like sheep farming?” Ryan asked.

“Well, something like Ear to the Ground, something like that!”

When the host suggested the farming program should have a section for young farmers like her, she quipped; “Aye! Nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more!”

It was the purest bit of telly we’ve seen in a while and needless to say, Twitter loved it.
