Dont know if any of ye have ever heard of this programme but next Wednesday night Tabby Callaghan(from the x-factor) will be on it with his mother. Just in case any of ye are Tabby fans(

) ye may like to watch it!

A budding rock star he may be, but Tabby Callaghan isn�t beyond a strong word of advice or admonishment from his mother. And when Bridgie Callaghan starts dishing out advice you�d do well to listen with both ears.

That�s the premise for what promises to be a highly entertaining programme on RTE 1 television next Wednesday night when Tabby and Bridgie are featured in the "Mother Knows Best" series.

Bridgie sets out to help Tabby to learn to �chill�, particularly urging him to deal with his smoking habit and to spend more time with his family in Sligo.

Tabby won the hearts of the X Factor audience last year. Now living back in Sligo he is trying to capitalise on his X Factor success, with a single due out at the end of August and an album in the pipeline.

Tabby has been a professional musician since he was a teenager but last year gave him the taste of the stardom he has worked so hard for and the next few months are crucial.

As everyone in Sligo knows, Bridgie Callaghan adores her youngest son and has long been his number one fan. He has inherited his musical talents from her, as she is also a talented singer.

Where did you get your Smellavision?

The point that is being made is just because Tabby is Irish doesn't mean he is any use. I thought he was overrated myself.

I must be thinking of somebody different. I didn't watch X-Factor but I just remember seeing a trailor for it with this stupid fella with long hair saying " I've got de X-Factor". He must've been in his thirties if not forty and he was a muppet. Didn't sound as if he was all there.
