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 matching khaki green top and mini skirt from & Other Stories.

She buttoned up the long sleeve cardigan over a white cami top from Sinead Keary the Label.

Muireann fiddled around with her outfit and explained: “In my head, this was gonna work and it’s ended up not fitting… anywhere.

“Bar the colour, this is almost the same outfit I wore for my junior cert results night.”

The popular presenter finished off her look wearing snake skin knee-high heeled boots from Penneys.

Muireann went “full 90s” with her new bob as she put in some foam rollers to give her hair some volume.

She accessorised with gold knot earrings, a gold chain, a gold pendant necklace and a gold wrist watch.

Muireann’s friends and fans all loved her outfit, despite her worries, and raced to the comment section with compliments.

Jennifer wrote: “Love this outfit on you and as for the hair.”

Linda commented: “Best legs on TV.”

NEW DO

Steve said: “Great legs you have.”

Maureen added: “I absolutely love this on you plus your figure is just incredible, this outfit of the day section brings so much joy… thank you.”

Muireann revealed her new hair transformation last week on the show.

She got the ends of her hair chopped off and cut into a chic bob.

Muireann’s hair had also been dyed a brighter shade of blonde and beautifully curled.

A SCHOOLBOY died on a bike ride with his dad when he slammed into a telegraph pole after his brakes failed, an inquest heard.

Rufus Pomeroy, 12, had travelled to Hay-on-Wye, Powys, for a planned camping trip when the horror unfolded.

An inquest heard Rufus realised his brakes were not working and would push his bike until the terrain was flat.

But the schoolboy was on a road he did not know “which quickly descended into a steep hill”.

Rufus, of Bristol, lost control of the bike and suffered a “heavy collision” with a telegraph pole on May 28 last year.

Dad William, who had stopped near a farm gate, found Rufus lying unconscious on his back and his bike on the ground.

He was rushed to hospital but died from catastrophic head injuries that day.

The inquest was told Rufus, who had “autistic tendencies” was not wearing a helmet.

Coroner Rachel Knight ruled an accidental verdict.

She said: “Sadly, likely due to the speed he achieved and his lack of working brakes, Rufus lost control of his bike and suffered a heavy collision with a telegraph pole.

“Rufus was not wearing a helmet, and sustained catastrophic head injuries.

“He was taken to hospital, and tragically he died.”

Rufus, who was a pupil at Redland Green School, was described by headteacher Ben Houghton as “a lovely and valued member of our school community”.

He said at the time that the school community had been “deeply saddened” and “devastated” by the loss.

In a letter to parents, the headteacher wrote: “I would like to express our heartfelt thoughts and condolences to Rufus’s family and friends during this incredibly difficult time.”

VIRGIN Media customers will find two extra channels on their boxes from today – and it’s great news for reality TV lovers.

Each channel specialises in two iconic shows well-known to Brits with back-to-back episodes aired 24/7.

First up is a Hell’s Kitchen channel, led by fiery chef Gordon Ramsay.

Viewers will find the special channel on number 233.

And the other channel is everything Eggheads, with classic episodes of the long-running quiz show where amateur quiz players take on super-brain champions.

The Eggheads channel sits at number 253.

Both channels are new streamed broadcasts which are beamed into living rooms via the internet instead of your traditional cable set-up.

Virgin Media has already introduced a number of these channels – known as FAST (free ad-supported TV) channels – to TV boxes.

Virgin TV already has around 30, including favourites Tipping Point and Deal or No Deal.

Unlike most streamed channel services that are run through an app, these appear directly on the Virgin TV programme guide.

The move comes as Brits are faced with ever-increasing TV bills.

Rival Sky revealed this morning that the average customer will see their bill rise by 6.2% from April 1.

Netflix recently announced subscriptions will rise in the US – and experts expect the UK will follow suit soon.

Recent data from Kantar suggests more Brits are opting for Netflix’s cheaper ad tier subscription which costs £4.99.

Research indicates that one in three new subscribers are going for the ad option to save money.

Meanwhile, traditional TV providers face yet more channel loses.

Just last week Eurosport announced that it will disappear from UK screens later this month after 35 years of broadcasting.

“Reality TV doesn’t just entertain us, but tests our knowledge, gives us something to chat about for those water cooler moments, and most importantly, brings TV fans together,” said David Bouchier, Chief TV and Entertainment Officer at Virgin Media O2.

“The expansion of our streaming channel offering is brilliant news for our customers, and with some of the most recognisable reality content available to watch our customers can sit back, relax and enjoy extra value – and extra drama – on us.”

The new channels are available on Stream, V6 and Virgin TV 360 boxes.

NICO O’REILLY did not expect to play a minute when he was selected in Manchester City’s squad for their four match pre-season tour of the USA in July.

But three weeks later he had scored against Barcelona in Orlando – and also had a Community Shield winner’s medal in his pocket after holding his own against five-time Champions League winner Casemiro against rivals Manchester United at Wembley.

He was denied a deadline day move to Chelsea, as City feared another ‘Cole Palmer’ situation and one of their academy lads starring in West London.

HOW DO THEY PLAY AND WHO DO THEY REMIND YOU OF?

Well, anyone who follows City’s youngsters should forget what they thought they knew about O’Reilly – because Guardiola has other ideas.

The boss announced in the States – to the surprise of everyone – that O’Reilly, 19, could be a deputy for Rodri as a holding midfielder.

Praise doesn’t come much higher than that at City.

However it raised some eyebrows as he has generally played further forward – even as a No10 or a false nine – while coming through the academy system at City.

But maybe his versatility is what appeals to the Etihad boss, who does like a midfielder who can fill a variety of positions  

After a spell on the sidelines with injury last season, the England Under-20 star returned to training and Guardiola was shocked by how much he had grown.

The hope at City is he can use that physicality and grow into the role that Rodri plays so effectively as he reads the game particularly well.

He also showed that he is much more than just a stopper with his superbly taken goal against Barcelona in Orlando.

That was more like the O’Reilly they knew at the City Football Academy – where he had a reputation for scoring eye-catching goals.

He netted his first for the senior side in the 8-0 FA Cup demolition of Salford.

His Under-21 coaches say he would be capable of doing a variety of different jobs for Pep and that he has all the attributes to be a top player.

TELL US ABOUT THEIR RISE

He’s been playing for his boyhood club City since the Under nines and has come through in the same cohort as Rico Lewis.

He made the bench for Pep Guardiola’s first team at Brighton in spring 2023 but then a serious ankle injury stopped his progress.

However he has picked up where he left off. At City they still talk about a scorpion kick he scored against Middlesbrough for the youth team and a 40-yard lob against United in the junior derby.  

WHAT ARE THE EXPERTS SAYING? 

Ben Wilkinson is now boss of City’s EDS but has seen O’Reilly come through the ranks. He said: “Historically, he’s played as a No8 – or a No10 in the academy.

“But his ceiling is very high – and he’s got more attributes than people give him credit for. His technical level is very high. Hopefully he can put his physicality into his game because he’s got a lot of things you need to be a top midfielder.

“His performances were one of the highlights of the tour so hopefully Pep has learned if he needs to use him then he can.

He’s a guy who will be a player

Guardiola on O'Reilly

Guardiola himself said: “He’s a guy who will be a player. He was injured for a long time last season.

“He came back in the middle of the season, trained with us and I said ‘Wow. This guy is big.”

He’s about 6ft 2in and has a presence about him.

WHAT DOES THE NEXT 12 MONTHS HOLD?

Guardiola insisted he would be part of the first team squad this season and he has played a couple of times despite the return of Ilkay Gundogan making an already congested scrap for midfield places even more crowded. 

O’Reilly has started in the Carabao Cup against Watford and Tottenham – and made his Champions League bow against Sparta Prague before netting in the FA Cup against Salford.

He will hope there is more to come, especially after the move to London was rejected.
