‘She kisses like mad!’: Grandma talkback radio caller discovers The Bachelorette

‘SHE kisses like mad!’ This Sydney grandma doesn’t have time for bingo or knitting. She’s called into a radio station to hilariously explain her new discovery.

WHILE some grandmas might pass the time with stereotypical activities like bingo and knitting, Irene does something very different.

She’s obsessed with The Bachelorette.

The Sydney grandma loves the show so much she felt the need to call into James Valentine’s Afternoons program on 702 ABC to tell the city about her discovery.

“It’s fantastic. You forget all your worries. Because the girl in it — the bachelorette — she’s so beautiful, so warm hearted and she just kisses like mad!” Irene explained in the Word Of Mouth segment on the program, where listeners call in to share new discoveries.

“It’s as though she’s on a honeymoon with each different man on these organised dates and, always, the first thing she does is grip them and get them in a big hug and give them a great big kiss.”

Irene was introduced to the US version of the program by her daughter, who knew her mum “loved trash TV”, and she was instantly hooked.

She also told the program there’s some specific reasons why she thinks the US version is better than our local series.

“There’s a lot more kissing in it. And more romance. And even the men get slightly bitchy with each other,” she said excitedly.

Just the boys being bitchy.
Just the boys being bitchy.

“If they see one of them doing push ups shirtless with a great big piece of steel on his back showing off well they all get very remark (sic) about that. I think it’s so unbelievably ... my stress just goes.”

When Valentine suggested Irene get into UnReal — the comedy series set behind the scenes of a fictional dating show — she couldn’t wait to start bingewatching.

“Ooh! I’m into it! Can’t wait!”

It’s time to ditch your own grandma and start hanging out at Irene’s place.

James Valentine’s Afternoons airs on 702 ABC Sydney.
