Doireann Garrihy admits she had to make the first move on her boyfriend because he was 'too nervous'

Doireann Garrihy has revealed that she made the first move on boyfriend Mark Mehigan - on their second date.

The RTE broadcaster admitted that there was no kiss on her first date with the Dublin comedian when the pair went for a walk around the Dun Laoghaire area.

The loved-up pair reminisced about their early dating days on Doireann’s new podcast, Doireann and Friends.

Doireann recalled: "We went for a walk for our first date. So I drive outside your apartment and we go for a walk around the Glasthule area…

"And then we had breakfast."

She added: "You didn’t give me a kiss when you walked me back to the car and I was like, 'Grand, that’s fine…' So nothing happened.

"But it was a great first date apart from that."

"It was a very powerful first date," Mark chipped in.

He said: "When we met, it was lashing rain when you came over first, before we went on the walk, it was torrential…

"And I had to go out and find you because, weirdly enough, you couldn’t find the apartment even with Google Maps.

"I had to go out and find you and bring you into the apartment. There was an energy in the room."

However Doireann revealed that the first kiss eventually happened on the second date.

The radio star said: "We went on our second date, it was very obvious that we needed to have a kiss.

"But it was very obvious that you were too nervous to do it, so I just went in for the kill."

Doireann admitted she was a bit scared last week when her new podcast first dropped.

She said: "It was a bit scary last week. But it’s been great.

"I got some lovely comments and questions and feedback so I’m thrilled."
