When introducing Gerard to viewers, Karen mentioned some shows that she thought he had acted in. She said: "He has overcome the carnage of Carrigstown, faced down the White Walkers in During their chat, Tommy also spoke about the hit series saying: "Obviously you're involved in read more on ireland am The 34-year-old pulled up the presenters on the incorrect information saying: "I wasn't on Karen and Tommy both looked surprised as Karen asked: "You have another one. Is there another one?" The dad-of-eight replied: "Yeah there's another one, yeah. I wasn't on Game of Thrones or Derry Girl, but I was just on Fair City." Tommy attempted to save himself saying: "I was thinking you've got the hair. I was thinking you've just been growing the beard. read more on the irish sun "This is it. I mean, after eight kids, you should look disheveled, you should be on Game of Thrones as well." Gerard didn't look too offended by the mix up and replied: "You know, if Game of Thrones are doing a remake, give me a shout." Ireland AM studio turns into disco The actor met his partner Jo 11 years ago and the pair both shared a dream of Gerard told The Irish Independent: "I have always loved the idea of a full, lively house. The kind of place where there is always laughing or someone needing a snack or needing something.' FAMILY MAN The actor became a dad at just 25-years-old and said while it seems "young", he felt "very mature" and knew it was something himself and Jo both wanted. The pair now have eight children; Jasper, 10, Hugo, nine, River, seven, Sage, five, Saint, three, Zen, two, Enzo, one, and Halo, who is just 12 weeks old. The family-of-ten lives in the Liberties, Dublin. As well as Gerard's glitzy showbiz job, he works for a company that sells credit card terminals. He explained: "I'm not back [in Fair City] until August so it's a big gap. You have to have something else going on because otherwise you would run out of money very quickly with eight kids." Gerard spoke about how himself and his partner make sure to budget "perfectly" for their big family by forward planning. He said: 'There's a lot of mouths to feed. There's a lot of outgoings with kids… with certain trips with school, and things that bubble up. So you have to have an 'emergency fund' packed away and ready to go."

Muireann O'Connell is bang on the money with new South Dublin house
New homeowner Muireann O'Connell, who previously lamented being gazumped when bidding on houses, managed to nab her new pad for bang on the asking price. Muireann has previously documented years of soul-destroying house-hunting with her partner Phil as an absolute 'nightmare' revealing that properties the couple bid on had gone for €100,000 over their asking price. Now, the new home-owners are surely relieved that they finally managed to snap up their three-bedroom house for the bang on the asking price of €675,00. Pic: Sherry FitzGerald According to property pricing websites, the house Muireann acquired was on the market for €675,000 and it sold for that corresponding price. Popular presenter Muireann revealed last month that she was now a mortgage-holder having picked up the keys to her new abode. Pic: Muireann O'Connell/ Instagram Muireann's new South city pad is spread over three floors with large private front and rear gardens. The turn-key property has a homely touch with an open plan style kitchen-come-dining room, with double fronted French doors which affords optimum light to brighten the entire first floor. Pic: Sherry FitzGerald The rear of the house is spacious and can provide for summer BBQ's and family gatherings, boasting as it does, private rear access double gates, a central lawned area, brick built shed and patio area finished with sandstone patio slabs. Muireann and her fiancé Phil have, like many young couples, been renting in Dublin for many years as the housing crisis shows no signs of abating. Pic: Sherry FitzGerald While Muireann is a well known face for her presenting work on Ireland AM, her fiancé Phil also works in the media sphere.. A native of Co Offaly, Phil is a programming director who has worked with various national radio stations. Pic: Sherry FitzGerald But the pair's house hunt has been a full-time gig in itself. Muireann has often spoken of the utter soul-destroying process of simply trying to buy a suitable place she can call her own home. Taking to social media after she had picked up the keys to her very own front door Muireann told her online fans: Pic: Sherry FitzGerald Thank you to the lovely previous owners and to everyone who helped us to get here. Ye are the best. We've been terrible at this process. God, house buying has been a slog. I know it's not easy. For anyone going through it, much love. It can be soul destroying. But bloody hell do I feel good today. Pic: Sherry FitzGerald 'Now how the hell do you decorate a house.'
