2021 was the year where stories about destructive walruses, Zoom meetings going haywire, and marriage breakups and reunions were all trending.
As we wind down 2021, it wouldn't do to make it to the end of the year without our usual glut of Big Fat Quizzes.
We've got TV, movies, on demand TV, and of course, Trending and Celebrity. For this quiz, we've pulled 15 questions straight from the trending headlines, from the Met Gala to that walrus that knocked over ships down in Kerry and Cork. We've even got a question or two about Kimye, the #FreeBritney movement, and naturally the return of Bennifer in there as well.
As always, no checking Google for the answers. Good luck!
