But it's a case of when one door closes another one opens for Greg O’Shea as he was announced as 2FM's brand new presenter hours after he split with Amber Gill.
With Eoghan McDermott off to do the voice-over for Love Island Australia for nine weeks, the Love Island winner, will be slotting in with Doireann Garrihy to present the 2FM breakfast show.
Greg will commence his co-presenting duties with Doireann on 23rd September, as Eoghan heads to Fiji for filming.
The law student and rugby ace will continue until November 20th.
Announcing the news, Greg said: “I am honestly over-the-moon to have the opportunity to work alongside Doireann while Eoghan is away.
“She is an amazing woman, so talented and I know I’ll learn loads from her!
“I will have to get a few tips from Eoghan on how to take on the early mornings but I’m really looking forward to giving it a go and having some craic.”
Doireann Garrihy said: “When I met Greg this week he said I reminded him of his sister! I’m taking it as a compliment, and a sign that we’re going to have great craic.
"Any Love Island fan will have seen just how genuine, sound and fun Greg is...roll on the early mornings!
“And Eoghan, don’t fret...he’s keeping your seat warm!”
Eoghan McDermott added: “2FM Breakfast and Love Island are both potentially career defining gigs and to be involved in either would be a dream.
“To be involved in both is mind-bending! I’m absolutely thrilled that Greg is stepping into the hot-seat whilst I’m filming in Fiji.
“Obviously his biceps and abs are puny and embarrassing in comparison to mine, but I’ve no doubt he’ll be a huge hit with the breakfast family and keep Doireann on her toes.”
Dan Healy, Head of 2FM and Radio Strategy, added he is hoping the gig is only the start of Greg’s career on the airwaves.
He said: “It has been amazing few months for 2FM, the new breakfast show has been doing really well.
“The speed at which Eoghan and Doireann’s chemistry took off has been stunning.
“As we know, Eoghan is heading off to Love Island Australia for nine weeks, which is a great opportunity for him.
“As Eoghan goes to Love Island Australia, Greg O’Shea, the winner of Love Island will come to 2FM from Monday 23rd September.
“We are very excited, we did the pilot this week and we think we have a major radio star in Greg.”
