Tomorrow, Kieran Cuddihy and Andrea Gilligan will attempt to set a Guinness World Record together. 

If they are to break the record and enter the history books, Andrea will have to dress Kieran up like a Christmas tree in under one minute and 30 seconds.

Kieran will have to start off dressed in no more than shorts and a t-shirt and will have a green long sleeved knee length dress and brown trousers or tights put on him.

Four two-metre lengths of tinsel have to be wrapped around Kieran and 12 baubles have to be put on the dress – with clips or pins allowed to place the baubles.

The final piece is a star attached to a conical hat that must be placed on Kieran’s head.

Rules

The clothes and decorations have to be in a pile on the ground and cannot be pre-arranged.

Kieran also cannot help Andrea with any of the dressing or decorating.

The duo will get three attempts to complete the dressing in the time allocated.

Guinness World Record adjudicator Dave Wilson is flying in to Ireland especially to judge the record attempt.

Advice

In 2019, Robert broke a previous Guinness World Record when he hugged three friends for 30 hours and one minute.

On Lunchtime Live, he had a number of tips for the duo as they prepared for the big event.

“I suppose have a strategy going into it,” he said.

“Your record is quite different to what I did - but be prepared.

“You're probably going to end up trying to do it again next year, because once you've set this record, people are going to come out there and try and beat this.”

Tune in to Lunchtime Live tomorrow on Newstalk from 12pm to 2pm to hear Andrea and Kieran’s attempt to set a Guinness World Record.
