Production on the holiday special recently wrapped up in Cork with local people featuring throughout.

A public call was made earlier this year for extras in the highly anticipated second season which attracted so many applications, that the site crashed.

The Young Offenders Christmas Special features Love/Hate star Robert Sheehan who can be seen baring all during a protest in the sneak peek clip released by BBC Three.
