2025 is truly Laura Fox’s year. She’s landed her dream job on 2FM and she’s engaged.
We were so excited to chat to our Platinum VIP Style Awards 2025 host for the May issue of VIP Magazine.
And she was literally floating as we catch up with her, reminiscing about working in pubs before finding her way into Pulse FM.
Now she’s the host of Ireland’s Fittest Family and her own RTÉ 2FM show.
“Growing up I didn’t even know this was an option. But I kept telling everybody I was going to be a radio presenter or a TV presenter though I had no idea how to get there,” she admits.
“I just knew it would work out though and I think that scared my mother so much. She was so terrified it was a pipe dream and to be honest it was a pipe dream that worked out because I just stayed at it.
“I think there was a good ten years when my mother didn’t take a breath!”
She adds: “I entered Miss Sunday World, enrolled in a journalism course and moved up to Dublin and started doing social media work. Now we’re talking ten years ago before social media is what it is now.
“On a photoshoot for a social media brand, I got talking to the photographer who said he knew someone in RTÉ Pulse, did a demo for them, got a two hour show there and literally did not stop tipping away at getting over to 2FM since then.”
