One thing we love about Doireann Garrihy is that she never takes herself too seriously and will happily crack a joke at her own expense, even when she’s recovering from an injury!
The radio DJ recently had an incident with her knee on set, and is resting and recuperating at home. Sharing a snap to Instagram the presenter is in bed in her loungewear with some frozen veg propped up on her sore knee.
Doireann hilariously captioned the post; “It was great fun when my locked knee was treated so seriously this day last week.”
“a) A bag of frozen Asian Style Stir Fry and b) a photo op by bae. Loved that for me x”
She revealed last week that she ended a day of filming with a trip to hospital. The presenter shared that she has an ongoing issue with her knees which cause them to sometimes pop out of place, which is exactly what happened to her on set.
Sharing the news on her stories she said; “Since I was 15, I have had an issue with my knees where they pop out of place… It can happen from exercise or sometimes just from crossing my legs while sitting down.”
“While filming The Doireann Project on Friday, the final scenes of the day, I was sitting in a chair and bent to the side to pick up my script and go tobann, out popped my knee.”
As this has happened to her before, she thought it would be fine; “Most of the time I can pop it straight back in but this time it simply wouldn’t happen.”
It seems this time was different and she had to get her boyfriend, Paddy to carry her down the stairs; “I refused to let the crew carry me… I would never be able to look them in the eye professionally again.”
The 28-year-old then shared that she decided to wait it out and hope her knee would have popped back into place by the morning, but she wasn’t so lucky!
“I really thought it would pop back into place when I relaxed in my sleep (with good pain killers) but it didn’t so off to James’s I went yesterday.”
We hope she is back on the mend very soon!
