Ahead of their departure from 2FM, Jenny Greene and Nicky Byrne are today celebrating five years on air together.
The pair began their radio show in 2014, and marking the occasion, the dynamic duo were presented with a cake as the team sang happy birthday.
Sharing the clip on social media, Jenny said, “From the bottom of my heart, thank you all for the lovely messages of support and to Nicky for being by my side through everything over the last year.”
Yesterday afternoon, the presenter revealed she’ll be stepping away from the station after 12 years, while Nicky takes a break to focus on Westlife’s reunion.
In an emotional statement, she said, “It’s with a very heavy heart that I have decided to say farewell to 2FM.
“I have had so many amazing experiences from broadcasting at Oxegen, Electric Picnic, Sea Sessions and Longitude, to actually performing at festivals and selling out arenas with the amazing RTE Concert Orchestra and Gemma Sugrue.
“Broadcasting live from my own back garden with Nicky, fulfilling a lifelong dream of dancing with Riverdance, to Nicky surprising me with a phone call from one of my all time heroes Joanna Lumley, the list is endless.”
She continued, “Having started off in the evening time and progressing on to a very successful day time show, going back to the evenings on 2FM, just doesn’t feel like the right decision for me both professionally and personally.
“I want to thank all the loyal listeners who tuned in everyday on 2FM and those who helped me along the way in RTE, you know who you are.
“To quote the late, great Terry Wogan, ‘there’s never a right time to leave something you love, but there might be a wrong time if you hang on too long’.”
She’ll certainly be missed.
