Ireland AM presenter buys first home and shares sneak peek after ‘slog’ of a house hunt
The Virgin Media star says the process was “soul destroying” but “bloody hell” it feels good now
Ireland AM host Muireann O'Connell has officially joined the homeowner club after a "slog" of a house hunting process.
The Virgin Media presenter shared her excitement in a candid Instagram post revealing she and her fiancé have finally bought their first home, following what she described as a difficult and drawn-out search.
"If I was a pedant, I would have been calling him my bungalow-mate. Today, I can legitimately call him my housemate," she wrote.
Muireann thanked the previous owners and everyone who supported them during the process, adding: "We've been terrible at this process. God, house buying has been a slog. I know it's not easy.
Muireann admitted the whole process had been far from straightforward.
"For anyone going through it, much love. It can be soul destroying. But bloody hell do I feel good today."
Now that the keys are in hand, the only question left is: "How the hell do you decorate a house?" she asked her followers.
The news was met with a flood of well-wishes from celebrity pals and colleagues.
Fellow Ireland AM presenter Tommy Bowe commented: "Ahhh thanks the lord!!!! Congratulations. Delighted for you both!"
RTÉ's Anna Geary added: "Amazing, enjoy the interior buzz! Huge congrats."
Sports presenter Evanne Ní Chuilinn welcomed her to the neighbourhood with a simple: "WELCOME TO THE 'HOOD!"
