Carl Mullan has confessed that he was left worried and “upset” after Doireann Garrihy and Donncha O’Callaghan’s decision to leave 2FM.
The trio had been hosting the popular RTÉ 2FM Breakfast Show since 2021, before Doireann and Donncha both announced their departure in 2024.
Carl remained on the Breakfast Show which he now hosts with Aisling Bonner and Roz Purcell.
Now he has confessed that he was worried that his friendship with Doireann and Donncha would suffer as they wouldn’t be working together anymore.
“From my point of view, I was upset that two people I’d become very close to were leaving. Donncha, Doireann and I had managed to land on something with that show that was very special,” he said to the RTÉ Guide.
“We enjoyed it so much. I was really worried at the time that with them leaving the show, it would be the end of our friendship and that’s what upset me the most.
“But very quickly, I realised they’re not going anywhere and sure we’re in touch all the time. I can’t get rid of them.”
He went on to speak about his new work routine with Roz and Aisling. He confessed that was another worry as he wasn’t sure how they would gel.
“It’s all settling in now and with Roz and Aisling, we’ve found our groove. It’s a different dynamic and new personalities but that’s the thing I’m enjoying most about it,” he admitted.
“My worry was that I would be always comparing but we get on so well; it’s different but that’s OK and it makes it exciting.”
Well there was no need for all the worrying!
