WHAT DO CHARLIE’S Angels and Ireland’s presidential candidates have in common? Well, yes… there’s three of them.

The race for the Áras is officially down to three candidates: Catherine Connolly, Heather Humphreys or Jim Gavin. It’s like Irish voters are Goldilocks and they’re the three bears – just with less porridge and more politics.

So, with the number three on our minds, we thought it was the perfect time to test your knowledge of famous trios.
