Taking part is massive for Eric, whose life changed when he unexpectedly gained a following in his 30s. He was already working as an SNA and said he 'fell into' social media.
As his online work ramped up, he decided to leave his SNA role earlier in the year to focus on his digital work.
A source told Goss.ie, “This is such an incredible opportunity for Eric to branch out into an international market.
“He took a huge leap when he quit his job as a full-time special needs assistant earlier this year, so this has proved he made the right decision to focus on his career as an entertainer.
“This is just the beginning of Eric’s TV career, and who knows what doors this could open for him.”
