And the firm friends also have another venture on the boil, as they are currently in talks with a broadcaster to produce an extended series of their travel show Take the High Road.

But in true to their inimitable jocular form Donal took to Instagram to nip any unseemly rumours in the bud telling his followers; 'so as you can see myself and Arthur are in a hotel room together. But rest assured there nothing untoward going on, we're simply recording our podcast,' said Donal
The celebrity dads have been incredibly close since they moved back to Ireland from LA just before covid shut down the entire world.
Arthur who was a relative stranger to the country bunked up with Donal, his wife Sophie and their two children for the duration of the pandemic where he kept the family highly entertained during lockdown.
