VIRGIN Media star Muireann O’Connell told how she “loved” her new “budget” River Island dress that is a dupe of a popular designer.
The Ireland AM host returned on air this morning alongside Tommy Bowe and Alan Hughes – who was absent yesterday as Karen Koster filled in.

Muireann often shares her work outfit details before heading out on air.
She recorded herself getting ready in the dressing room this morning and shared it on Instagram.
The Limerick native popped on a stunning bargain frock she got from River Island.
The fabulous piece is the perfect dupe of a dress from renowned fashion designer Vivienne Westwood.
Posing in her dressing room, Muireann showed off the dress, which featured a slit at the knee, to allow her to show off some leg.
The brown check midi dress also has a cowl neck design to create a balanced silhouette and softness around the chest area.
The dress currently retails on River Island’s website for just €76.
The current price of the dress on River Island is a fraction of the amount some recent frocks from the renowned designer have gone for – with dress prices ranging from €300 to over €1,000.
She paired the dress with some “old” tan high heels, which were perfect for the look with the dress’s slit.
To round off her on-air look, Muireann popped on a pair of large gold hoop earrings and, with a wave to the camera, exited to host the show.
Muireann captioned her stylish post: “Good morning! Budget Vivienne Westwood here. Can you tell I love the slit?”
Friends and fans raced to the presenter’s comment section to gush over the “stunning” find.
One fan remarked: “I think that’s the best dress ever on you, love that style and cut.”

Sharon said; “Wow wow . Absolutely stunning.”
Another fan added: “Adore the dress.”
Muireann is renowned for sharing her outfits and beauty routines with fans on social media.
Which, at times, can leave her exposed to some nasty comments.
Recently, Muireann hit back at internet trolls after she was slammed online.
MUIR COMMENTS
She took to her Instagram to share her new hair care routine and looked delighted as she showed off her terrific few-step routine.
However, it seemed not everyone was happy with Muireann’s video, as one person took to her comment section to air their gripes.
The troll said: “You are lucky you can wash your hair. The whole country the way it is, no water or electricity… please.”
Muireann quipped: “Are you actually coming for me because I can have a shower? Actually insane.”
Hitting back on her Instagram, Muireann shared the interaction saying: “Social media is wild. The whataboutism has gone intergalactically mad.”
