'I'm not going anywhere' - Lottie Ryan responds to report of axe from big 2FM show
Lottie has been hosting the Drive programme with David O'Reilly since the 2 Johnnies departed the station last month
2FM broadcaster Lottie Ryan has hit back at headlines suggesting she's been axed from the Drive show on 2FM after just five weeks.
Lottie has been hosting the Drive programme with David O'Reilly since the 2 Johnnies departed the station last month.
Rumours swirled this week that a number of high-profile social media stars could be lined up to take on the role, including comedian Kayleigh Trappe and Donegal star Eric Roberts.
However, Lottie has now taken to Instagram to address the reports and set the record straight.
"I wanted to clear up some recent headlines about my role at 2FM," she posted.
"When it was announced that I would be taking over Drive, it was always agreed between myself and my bosses that this would be for a five-week stint. The term 'summer schedule' has led to some confusion, implying a 12-week duration."
"To clarify - the plan was always for a short-term cover, and I knew this from the start. The phrase 'summer schedule' has led to all this confusion. I'm not going anywhere and am very much part of 2FM. I've thoroughly enjoyed my time with the incredible Drive team and it's been an absolute joy working with such amazing people.
"Thanks for all the support."
