Daniel O’Donnell ‘In Trouble’ with Wife Majella After Accidentally Showing Her in Hotel Bed During Live TV Interview
Dublin, Ireland — Fans of Daniel O’Donnell were left laughing this week after the beloved singer found himself in a bit of good-natured trouble with his wife Majella, following a live television blooper that aired on Ireland AM.
The lighthearted moment occurred on Monday morning when Daniel, appearing remotely from a hotel room, was preparing to go live for an interview. As the 60-year-old star struggled to set up his camera, he unintentionally revealed Majella lying in bed behind him — completely unaware that the broadcast had already started.
The quick-thinking presenters on Ireland AM couldn’t contain their laughter as the wholesome mishap unfolded. Viewers were treated to a rare glimpse of Daniel’s down-to-earth humor and married life in real time. Majella, realizing what had happened, reportedly gave her husband a playful scolding afterward — and Daniel was only too happy to admit it.
“I’m in trouble now,” he laughed later, explaining that he had been rushing to join the call when the live feed began sooner than expected. “Majella was still in bed, and I was trying to get the angle right — but sure enough, there she was! I’ll be hearing about that for a while.”
The clip quickly went viral online, with fans calling it “the most Daniel O’Donnell thing ever.” Social media lit up with affectionate comments, many praising the couple’s warmth and authenticity. “They’re just so real,” one viewer wrote. “Only Daniel could make a moment like that even more lovable.”
Despite the minor mishap, the rest of the interview went smoothly, with Daniel chatting about his music, upcoming projects, and his continued love for performing. The Donegal native remains one of Ireland’s most cherished entertainers, known not only for his golden voice but also for his genuine personality and unshakeable sense of humor.
For long-time fans, the funny moment was yet another reminder of why Daniel and Majella O’Donnell have captured the nation’s heart — two people whose love, laughter, and humility continue to shine both on and off the screen.
As one fan commented after the viral clip aired: “Majella might give him a hard time, but you can tell they adore each other. That’s why we love them — they’re just themselves.”
