How brilliant is this?
As you all know, we’re absolutely massive fans of Home and Away here at Her HQ so when we saw Irene Roberts tweeting a lad in Kerry, we nearly lost the run of ourselves altogether.
Lynne McGranger, the actress who plays Irene in the long-running soap, was tweeting a lad in Ballybunion by the name of Tommy Walsh.
@TommyWalsh1 hey Tommy how’s it going? Miss seeing your cheeky mug around the grounds. Hope you’re well and happy xxx

Unfortunately for her, she thought she was in fact tweeting a different Tommy Walsh, a Sydney Swans player.
What happened next is gold.
@LynneMcGranger Hi Lynne, great to hear from you but I think you might be mixing me up with Tommy the former Sydney Swans player? — Tommy Walsh (@TommyWalsh1) August 12, 2015
A few cheeky lads got involved…
Irene must be back on the grog, she’s got the wrong @tommywalshkor I’ll act as mediator https://t.co/0ufrHFfPRp
