TV star spotted enjoying a 99 cone in rural Kilkenny during a break from filming
Bazil Ashmawy, also known as Baz, is no stranger to our TV screens as host of DIY SOS: The Big Build Ireland, the show that rebuilds people's lives by rebuilding their homes.
While in Co Kilkenny, Baz made the trip to Croke's Shop in Mooncoin to sample some of their ice cream.
A picture of Baz's visit to shop was posted on social media by Croke's Shop as they wrote 'when the Croke's shop crew met the big build crew. Lovely to meet Baz and the lads, thanks for calling in to try out the cones'.
Baz and the big build crew have been filming in Mooncoin for the past week as they build a dream home for the O'Hanlon family who are in desperate need of an adapted house for their little girl, Aoibhínn (9), who has a severe type of spina bifida and hydrocephalus.
Along with DIY SOS: The Big Build Ireland, Baz is known for the TV show, 50 Ways to Kill Your Mammy, which won the international Emmy Award for Best Non-Scripted Entertainment.
Baz has also hosted radio shows on both RTÉ 1 and RTÉ 2fm, among other things.
