Ireland AM host Muireann O'Connell deletes 'stupid' Instagram post ahead of VIP Style Awards

Muireann O'Connell is just like the rest of us - sometimes she freaks out about what to wear.

The Ireland AM host opened up to fans about her struggle to find a dress for the VIP Style Awards, saying recent weight gain had made it more difficult to find the perfect look.

Like so many other women, Muireann admitted that the weight gain had been getting her down and had a little rant on her Instagram Stories.

However, the much-loved presenter decided to remove the post.

In the now deleted video, Muireann said: “The VIPs are on Friday, myself and Zara King going head to head in a category. Our friendship has been vicious as a result."

The Limerick woman is working with stylist Corinna Gaffney, and said “I can't fit into anything... I know I am a small woman, but I have put on that bit of weight.

“So I fit into one dress and I am bet into it. It is incredibly plain. That's what I'm going with... Love being a woman. It's great craic."

Muireann then went on to say: “What is a person of my size doing talking about weight or weight gain…regardless of size, it can affect everyone and it’s been really getting me down for a while now so that’s why."

She then went on to delete the post, saying that she'd had a “freak out” and it was “stupid”.

“A while ago I had a little freak out because I couldn’t fit into any dress for the VIPs, which is just stupid because there are some people who can’t get clothes to fit them at all. So, cop on.”
