While appearing on Ireland AM Wednesday, Daniel O’Donnell gave a little insight into his home life up in Donegal.

Chatting to Tommy Bowe and Karen Koster, the singer is ‘fortunate’ to be able to spend some of his time in Tenerife and is now back in Ireland for the summer months.

Like many musicians, Daniel was forced to postponed concerts until 2022 and now has plenty of time to spend with his family including his grandchildren.

Now that the restrictions are being lifted, the crooner has been able to see them more.

Host Karen asked him what his young grandkids call him, Daniel surprised her and Tommy by revealing they refer to him as ‘Gaga’.

He joked, ‘And sometimes I am gaga,’.

Daniel has been known as a family man and couldn’t help but enthuse about being a doting grandfather and said that the kids love it when he plays with them.

‘We just saw our grandchildren for the first time in about five months at the weekend and it was great to see them,’ he shared.

‘Just being able to have them here and to play with them and the wee one will say to me, “Gaga will we go outside and play?” I’m sure how old they think I am but they want me to play with them all the time. We have a great time.’

Tommy couldn’t help but ask if the grandkids are as taken by his music as his fans are. The grandfather-of two laughed and said that one of them in particular is starting to take quite a fancy to his songs.

‘[I sing to them] an odd time now. Archie especially I think is listening to some of the songs. I think he likes I Want To Dance With You,’ Daniel explained with a big smile on his face.
