Queer Eye’s Jonathan gave the ultimate shout-out to Clare from Derry Girls

#CanYouBelieve

Nicola Coughlan, who plays Clare on Derry Girls, recently “envisaged the perfect jumper” … only to find out that it didn’t exist.

So, she decided to get it made.

And it turns out that her ideal hoodie features her current fav from Queer Eye, Jonathan Van Ness.

She shared a video (and photo) of the results of the hoodie on Instagram, tagging both Jonathan and the official Queer Eye accounts in the post.

She wrote alongside it:

“Like my love for @jvn had to be expressed to the world and this was my medium
#CanYouBelieve?! @queereye”

Jonathan soon got word of Nicola’s post, re-sharing her video on his Instagram stories.

He followed it up with a post about he’s been overwhelmed with the support they have gotten since the series was released.

He said in the series of posts:

“Omg @nicolacoughlan you are so cute.

“Sometimes you guys love me so much I can’t even. I can’t believe I get to be a light for people.”

The actress was quick to notice (and react to) the shout-out on her own account.

Calling it the “best day of my life”, she wrote:

“I AM ON JONATHAN THE WORLDS GREATEST HUMAN ACTUAL ANGEL FROM QUEER EYES INSTAGRAM STORY.

“THIS IS NOT A DRILL THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE‬.”

And it looks like the new addition to her wardrobe was just as much of a hit with fans as it was with Jonathan himself.

A few hours later, she added another post explaining that she didn’t realise the hoodie would be so popular. But since it was, she’s now put it up for sale (you can nab one here).
