Father Ray Kelly became an Internet sensation after a clip of him surprising an Irish bride and groom in Meath went viral.
Clocking up at almost 15 million views on YouTube (and counting), last night the priest took to the Late Late Show stage to perform his version of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah.
After he performed his piece the Twittersphere erupted with understandable comparisons with our very own Father Ted:
Looks like a remake of Father Ted is finally on the cards! #fatherdickbyrne #asongforeurope #latelateshow pic.twitter.com/U6jGdC40Or
