Doireann Garrihy’s new boyfriend Mark Mehigan has joked that he gave plenty of clues that the couple were dating.
It was announced this week that the 2FM Breakfast host is dating the comedian after months of speculation.
But the Sunday Roast host joked that he gave his followers plenty of hints he was dating the funnywoman, posting a picture of Bertie’s paw, Doireann’s beloved dog, alongside a picture of an interview with himself in the Sunday Times six weeks ago.
Sharing a screenshot of an old Instagram post, he said: "Not one of you noticed the original soft launch. Look at the paw on the top left".
One eagle-eyed fan spotted the furry friend's photobomb, saying: "A Bertie paw".
Additionally, a post from two weeks ago tipped some fans off to their budding relationship.
Mark posed on a toy horse looking shocked as he celebrated his birthday in front of a gorgeous Christmas tree.
He captioned the snap: "Having a genuinely happy birthday. Thank you all for the support over the last year. Felt like an important one."
Doireann's pal James Kavanagh commented: "Who took this pic?"
Mark replied: "I’m like a Doireann the headlights".
Some 303 people liked Mark's cheeky hint, however nobody commented on it.
Doireann confirmed this week her new relationship sharing a pic of the pair in front of a Christmas tree.
Last week, a cryptic message on the star’s Instagram seemed to tell all: “Romantic love wasn't part of my plan for 2023 but as all the best lyricists and poets will tell you, you can't plan for that kind of thing and that's all I'll say.”
Doireann is set to co-host the upcoming season of Dancing with Stars with fellow RTÉ presenter Jennifer Zamparelli on Sunday.
