TV star Muireann O'Connell buys new dream home in Dublin
Ireland AM star Muireann is thrilled to get the keys to her new home, a beautiful period three-bedroom mid-terrace house. Take a look at the dream house broadcaster Muireann O'Connell has bought after falling in love with it. The beautiful period three-bedroom mid-terrace house in a Dublin suburb was on the market for €675,000, but it's likely to have sold for more than €700,000. Ireland AM star Muireann is engaged to Phil Manzor, who is a high flying radio executive, and the current content controller for Dublin radio stations FM104 and Q102. Limerick woman Muireann has previously complained how she struggled to find a place of her own, having rented for years in the Stoneybatter area of the capital. Muireann O'Connell's new home News in 90 Seconds - May 29th She once described her years of house hunting as a 'nightmare', and said that properties the couple bid on had gone for €100,000 over their asking price. The brochure for her new property, the exact location of which we are not revealing, described it as being well-proportioned accommodation over three floors with private front and rear gardens. The house has an open plan kitchen/dining room which opens to the main living room. The back garden has rear access though double gates, a central lawned area, brick built shed and patio area finished with sandstone patio slabs. Muireann (42) shares Limerick connections with Phil as he went to university in her home town. He grew up in Co Offaly and was content and programming director with Today FM for just over a year and a half until he parted ways with the station. Prior to that, he was content director at youth station Spin for four years, and before that held a similar position with a couple of Scottish radio stations. The couple got engaged in Co Kerry in 2021. 'It's a strange thing because, yes, I'm a public figure but I'm just a person who happens to be on the telly,' Muireann once told the Sunday World, when she admitted she didn't want to talk too openly about her fiancé, describing him as her 'housemate'. 'If I was in a different job I think I'd be the exact same way. 'I don't think ever in my entire life, other than with friends, have I talked about who I'm going out with.' Muireann shared pictures on social media from her new home this week. 'The bathroom does need a little bit of work but I think once we get the bathroom done we can then just move in and any other work that needs to be done we'll do while we're here,' she explained, while showing a picture of the bathroom. '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.'

HAIR THIS I'm ‘obsessed' with an £8 Amazon buy for hair growth – it reversed my post-partum hair loss in weeks
SHOPPERS are raving about an £8 Amazon buy for hair growth which could help reverse post-partum hair loss. While postpartum hair loss is a common side effect of pregnancy, it makes many women feel insecure. 2 The oil can be picked up for £7.33 Credit: Getty 2 Shoppers have been raving about the hair oil Credit: Amazon Four to five months after giving birth, the hair will shed at an alarming rate, and it can be worrying. Our hair grows in cycles: a growing phase, a resting phase, and a shedding phase that continues to repeat. But during pregnancy, most of the hair stays in the growth phase due to those big changes in your body's hormones. Once your baby arrives and your hormones begin to change again, the level of estrogen falls, causing your thick head of pregnancy hair to begin the shedding phase. Because so much of your hair sheds all at once, the volume of hair loss seems far more substantial. But customers are hailing a "miracle" oil, which can fit into any haircare routine - applied daily or as a luxurious mask before wash day. Some shoppers have claimed it could reverse their postpartum hair loss in weeks. Mielle's original Rosemary Mint Scalp & Hair Strengthening Oil can be added to your Amazon basket for just £7.33. It promotes "amazing moisture and shine" and supports "longer, healthier hair". The product is infused with the vitamin biotin, which is also beneficial for nails and skin. Muireann O'Connell shares 'singed' hair fiasco There are no parabens, sulfates, paraffins, mineral oil, or DEA, and it's not tested on animals. "Mielle aims to empower women of all hair types and styles with powerful products and gentle, organic ingredients that amplify your natural beauty and are the 'root to results' that leave you looking and feeling your best," said the company. Shoppers have been raving about the hair oil, and even claimed it helped them with post-partum hair loss. "This oil has been a true saviour for me after experiencing postpartum hair loss, which left me with noticeable bald spots around my hairline," penned one. "Having used this consistently for a year, I am thrilled with the results." Another added: "This stuff is a miracle worker! Even the hairdressers at my salon noticed my hair growth and asked what have I been using! Bonus point- it's helped my nails grow as well." A third agreed: "This product has been remarkable. My hair fall have reduced significantly after the last use. Definitely recommended." This comes as a radio presenter has revealed that she suffered severe hair loss after having her second child, but a 59p buy has got it looking thick and healthy again. Meanwhile, another woman shared how she grew her hair thicker using this simple £2 remedy from Asda. She told how she took her hair from the size of a pinky in a ponytail to long and luscious using this one clever hack. Elsewhere, this is a £6 shampoo shoppers are going wild for, which makes your hair grow quickly, but it won't be in the beauty aisle.
