The Dublin native shared some behind the scenes as herself and her mum Clare painted pink wooden boards blue with Doireann later confirming she had four of the boards and was keeping two pink and two blue for her respective podcasts. 'Last year, I got four flats, so four of those and painted each of them blue for the background of Doireann and Friends and I loved how it looked so I used the same flats for The Laughs of Your Life and painted it pink and now, this year I've established, I actually only need two flats for Doireann and Friends and two for The Laughs of Your Life.

The pink and blue colours had many thinking it was something to do with a gender reveal for Doireann and Mark's new arrival. One follower messaged Doireann: 'Genuinely thought it was a gender reveal when I saw the blue paint earlier but was also confused why it was being changed pink to blue.' Sharing the message to her Instagram Story, Doireann said: 'The amount of people that thought that this was some sort of gender reveal prep that I was doing… getting my mom to paint these slats — I mean I got my mom to paint these slats anyway, but she offered, very kind of her to help me today because I'm under time pressure. 'But imagine if it was for a gender reveal? I just — I mean, each to their own with gender reveals, of course but… like, no. It was for the podcast.'
