Ahead of what will be a very different 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here' this year, hosts Ant and Dec are FINALLY undergoing their first Bushtucker Trial's after 19 years hosting the show.

Which got us thinking...what could we get our own Dermot and Dave to do?

On Maria's Telly, producer Maria got all the goss from the lads from lying in a coffin full of rats to putting their hands into random boxes.

Plus all the telly for your weekend!

Lockdown has seen us all taking up new hobbies from banana bread baking to knitting, and millionaire celebrities are no different!

It emerged during the week that Queen B aka Beyoncé has gotten into beekeeping. We know, we know, the jokes write themselves.

Apparently, she has 80,000 bees but how do you know how many bees you have? How do you not get stung all the time and more importantly, how much honey do you get?

These were all questions Dermot and Dave put to beekeeper Eleanor Attridge in an Ask Me Anything special.

After seeing the troubling times that charities around Ireland have been having due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, Declan Smith decided to do something that would benefit them, and himself.

Speaking to Dermot and Dave, Declan explained that he's giving up the booze for the month of November and will be donating the money he would have spent on alcohol to the ISPCC.

Spurred on by the realisation that it's something he's never done before, he's hoping to give himself a bit of a challenge and help those in need.

And he's even managed to convince some of the lads to join him...except for one who's going to send him a photo of a beer instead!

There's no denying it has been an incredibly tough time for retailers across Ireland. After being closed throughout lockdown one, they're all closed again during the busiest time of year for shops.

There was so much elation back in June when iconic Irish retailer, Penneys, reopened with people queueing up throughout the night to get their hands on their knickers.

But now, they might not need to queue at all. Rumours are afoot that Penneys (or Primark as it's known in the rest of the world) are planning to open 24 hours a day in the run-up to Christmas so we can all make up for lost time.

Dermot and Dave producer Maria Devereux had the latest and we heard from people around the country who were both elated and devastated at the prospect of a 24 hour shopping experience.

He is the leader of one of the biggest countries in the world, he's in the middle of awaiting results to see if he'll retain his job but Donald Trump always has time to chat to one journalist.

No, it's not someone from Fox News.

It's our Noni, of course.

Our resident chawwwklittttttttt seller from Limerick bagged herself a world exclusive interview with US President Donald Trump where she asked him all about his knowledge of Ireland.

Sport Ireland have teamed up with Dermot and Dave to find Your Personal Best.

What is Your Personal Best?

Well, that's up to you! Maybe you've gotten a little too fond of the couch during the last few months, or maybe the upheaval in our lives has seen you forget to mind your own wellbeing in the way you'd like to do.

How can I get involved?

It's simple really! We're looking for 3 people to become our 'leaders', you'll work with Your Personal Best trainer Paul Opperman to find a lifestyle, fitness and nutrition plan that works for you.

Dermot and Dave will follow the highs, the lows and the changes as they happen each week on the show.

What do the Irish oral or an modh coinníollach have in common with the US Electoral College? Today FM news' Andrew Lowth did his best to get to the bottom of Dermot's analogy in the wake of the US Election.

Andrew joined Dermot and Dave to give the current state of play as the United States continue to count votes and explained the incredibly complex electoral college.

Dermot and Dave were also joined by a Shannon woman living in the thick of it, American comedian Jim Elliott explained why he won't be too devastated if Trump does win and of course, The Last Word's Matt Cooper gave us an insight into how he's going to present a show on very little sleep!

Could you imagine seeing the beginnings of your home built in 24 hours? And at a much smaller cost? The future of house building could be here and it could be 3d printing.

With 3d built houses popping up in places like Dubai, France and in the United States, Dermot and Dave spoke to Matthew Griffin who has been following the increase of popularity in the new method of construction.

Matthew revealed how it works, what's holding other countries back from fully embracing it and what it will mean for shows like Grand Designs.
