RTE star Doireann Garrihy had a “stressful” travel trip propelled into a pleasant one after a receiving a surprise benefit.
The 2FM host and her husband Mark Mehigan jetted over to France early this morning, despite air strikes taking place.
Doireann took to her Instagram story before the plane took off to share an update with fans.
The 32-year-old explained that the pair had just boarded their flight but admitted: “It was all a very stressful time because of the strikes on the air traffic control in France.”
The Dancing With The Stars host emphasised how their entire trip was “touch and go” due to the strikes.
She added: “I didn’t even know if we’d be getting on this flight or not.”
The TV star told how the airline decided to get a bigger plane and fit two flights onto one, in order to decrease the amount of air traffic going through France.
But, because of the change in plane, Doireann and Mark were pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to business class.
The mum-to-be looked delighted as she panned the camera around to show her private seated area and extra leg room.
The Irish host beamed as she said: “Well this is a novelty isn’t it?”
Before heading off to catch some sunrays in France, Doireann gave fans a new update on her growing baby bump.
The star recently announced she is expecting her first baby with husband Mark Mehigan.
Since then, Doireann has been keeping followers in the loop with regular updates on her pregnancy journey.
The popular presenter took to Instagram last week to post a sweet mirror snap, giving fans another peek at her baby bump.

The glowing star was all smiles as she posed proudly with her hand resting on her stomach.
Doireann kept things casual wearing black shorts and a simple black tee – which perfectly showed off the bump.
The excited star wrote in her caption: “Lots of bedtime kicks moving into morning time too!”
