Doireann Garrihy reveals why she is 'a bit peeved' with Donncha O'Callaghan
Doireann Garrihy has admitted she is 'a bit peeved' with her former breakfast co-host Donncha O'Callaghan at the moment. The presenter co-hosted 2FM Breakfast with the former rugby international as well as Carl Mullan for a number of years before announcing her departure from the station early last year. Following news of her exit, Donncha announced he was leaving the station also with a schedule shake-up keeping Carl on breakfast radio alongside new hosts Roz Purcell and Aisling Bonnar.

The presenter also hosts two podcasts with Carl Mullan appearing on the latest episode of her conversational podcast, Doireann and Friends. During their chat, the pair discussed the friendship they forged on the breakfast show, with Carl admitting he had a 'right cry' to his wife when Doireann announced her exit from the show.

The admission prompted Doireann to scold Donncha for being 'the worst' to keep contact up, as she confessed she does get sad that they don't see the Cork native as much. Carl pointed out that Donncha won't let them know if he's in Dublin 'because he hates Dublin so much.' The comment led Doireann to sharing that she doesn't like letting Donncha know if she's in Cork because she doesn't want to pressure him into meeting her, but is 'peeved' with him because he did the same recently. 'He was at Bloom, which is literally my doorstep,' she said, 'I was like, 'You are!! I would have had you in for tea.' So he knows that I'm a bit peeved at the moment with him.'

Doireann Garrihy fears ‘judgement from people' ahead of arrival of first child
"I just feel so lucky having my first baby, to be doing it with my sister, who I live 10 minutes away from, and there's just a lot to look forward to,' Doireann said. RTÉ 2FM presenter Doireann Garrihy has said she fears she might face judgement from people as a new mum. The Dancing with the Stars host (33) is expecting her first child with husband Mark Mehigan. The couple, who tied the knot at the end of last year, announced they are expecting a baby back in April, as the presenter took to Instagram to reveal the happy news. In the first episode of the third season of her podcast, Doireann and Friends, she was joined by her sister Ailbhe Garrihy, who is also currently pregnant with her third child. Doireann, who said she is 'feeling great' and has 'lots of energy' during her second trimester, shared with her sister that she fears the judgment on social media which comes with being a mum.

Doireann, who currently hosts 2FM Drive, said she had a 'couple of experiences' of receiving unsolicited advice on her social media and inappropriate in-person comments. "Someone wrote to me today. I made an iced coffee, and someone replied saying: 'I really hope that's decaf for the baba'. 'Generally, I would ignore, and I just replied and said: 'My doctor told me I can have a coffee a day'. 'When I hadn't announced, I hadn't said it to anyone, there was one person who kept writing to me on Instagram saying: 'I think you have news for your followers. Wink, wink'.

I was like: 'Okay, I've been seen in the hospital, and I look pregnant. Who have I said it to that maybe has said to someone somewhere?' 'When I did announce, someone was like: 'Yeah, [I] knew you were pregnant during Dancing with the Stars. Do you know why? A lot of your outfits were very leg-focused. I was like: 'I've been getting my legs out as much as possible [my whole life]'.' Her sister Ailbhe, who is the mother to Séan (4) and Fionn (2), added she thinks pregnancy and parenthood open up 'these flood gates'. "It's almost like people are like: 'Okay, now we can just say whatever we want,' she said. The Garrihy sisters also spoke about the joy of being pregnant at the same time, as there are 'six weeks between them'. "I just feel so lucky having my first baby, to be doing it with my sister, who I live 10 minutes away from, and there's just a lot to look forward to,' Doireann said. 'I feel so unbelievably lucky that it's happening at the same time as you.' They added that sharing their maternity leave would be the first time they had spent more time together since secondary school. 'I hope it'll just be walks and coffee. I hope we do, and I hope we stick to it,' Ailbhe said.

Donncha O'Callaghan wasn't surprised to see Doireann Garrihy return to 2FM
Ireland rugby legend Donncha O'Callaghan said he wasn't surprised to see his former 2FM co-host Doireann Garrihy make a shock return to the station because she is 'so talented'. Last summer, the pair left 2FM Breakfast, as Carl Mullan was later joined by new hosts Roz Purcell and Aisling Bonner. However, it wasn't long before Doireann was back in Montrose as she was announced as the new host of 2FM Drive a couple of months ago. Speaking about the presenter and social media star's swift return, Donncha said: 'I wasn't surprised because of how talented she is. If anything, I was delighted to see her go back and this might sound a bit harsh, but on her own, with her name in lights. Because she deserves that.' While hosting the breakfast show together, the rugby legend said Doireann always had his back. Donncha joked that he loves Carl like a brother, but he would be more prone to slag him on air and leave him to dig himself in a hole. The former Munster star, who has 94 caps for the Irish team, said he hasn't ruled out making a return to radio himself. He told the Irish Sunday Mirror: 'I certainly love radio and it's definitely something I'd love to do again in the future. I miss them (Doireann and Carl) though, I miss that group. I think we all knew it was fairly special. It's rare you get on so well with people as well so quickly.' The former lock pivoted his career away from rugby and sports after retiring, and says this was no accident. He explained: 'I'm good at setting goals, and that's a goal I set for myself for five years (after retiring). If I'm being completely honest, I could have stayed around the rugby environments because that's all I've known since I went into the academies at 17. "I wanted to push myself a little bit, so I had a goal of - can I stand on my own two feet away from all this within five years? I really wanted to have a look in that entertainment space." Despite missing the 2FM show, Donncha is thankful for the energy that it has given him and the time he now has for other projects. He launched a podcast with his former teammate Tommy Bowe and recently published a children's book called Disaster Dad. Foregoing the alarm clock at the break of dawn has also given him more opportunities to do activities with his children, such as cooking. The father shares four children - Sophie, 14, Anna, 12, Robin, 10 and Jake, nine - with his wife, Jenny. Donncha is an ambassador for Tesco Ireland's new Stronger Starts Cooks - a programme rolling out in primary schools across Ireland this year, designed to inspire a lifelong love of food and cooking among children. He said: 'I look at what our teachers do, and they do an incredible job, but you always look for stuff outside the subjects. 'Are there other life lessons they could take away? And I definitely think cooking is one that could, the kitchen can be a classroom in its own terms, you can learn an awful lot about budgeting, timing, safety and working together.'
