There Was An Oddly Familiar Face On Room To Improve Last Night

Room To Improve made a welcomed return to RTÉ last night and eagle-eyed viewers all over the country spotted the same thing. Last night's episode saw Robbie and his partner Julie renovating a cottage they bought in Malahide. It turned out that Dermot wasn't the only familiar face as viewers tried to figure out where they knew Robbie from...
