Jokingly adding: ‘Thanks mum’, Eric’s followers couldn’t help but relate to his mum’s Irish mammy moment.

One person wrote: ‘omg nothing like a Mammys honestly – go Frances’.

Another said: ‘Gotta love mammies – they always want the best for you’.

A third quipped: ‘You can’t beat the honesty of an Irish Mammy’.

What would we do without the Irish mammy!
