IRELAND AM star Muireann O’Connell has admitted she would “rather get the coil” than pack up her home.
The breakfast show host recently became a first-time home owner with her fiance after years of gruelling house hunting.
The Limerick beauty has jumped straight into renovations on the new pad and has been sharing snippets of the couple’s plans along the way.
However, whilst the new home is being revamped Muireann and her partner will remain in their Dublin city home which they have lived in since 2017.
Taking to Instagram yesterday, the 41-year-old expressed her immense struggle with packing up all her belongings for the new property.
The Limerick lady said: “Probably the most viscerally horrible thing to ever happen to me was getting the coil. Awful, I hated it, it should be given under general anastethic.
“But, would I chose to have that procedure done everyday rather than clearing out my house and packing up, yes.”
The Irish host highlighted how she had been living in her current home since 2017, but had found items that belonged to her in 2003.
She cried: “I didn’t even live in Dublin in 2003, how did you get in to this house? Why are you here? Do you spark joy in my life? No!”
Muireann shook her head ashamedly and added: “Look I know I am an over consumer, it is a reckoning and I’m having a bit of an existential crisis about that right now.”
The TV star laughed as she told fans that she had kept a lanyard from concerts she attended years ago, joking: “It wasn’t even the best gig of my life.”
She exclaimed: “Just get rid of stuff!”
This comes after Muireann updated followers on her “nightmare” bathroom transformation.
The presenter told how she didn’t want a traditional sink unit for her bathroom and explained to fans that she was “having a nightmare” finding the right vanity.
Thankfully after much searching, Muireann came across the perfect vintage wooden unit in a charity shop.
However, while Muireann was delighted with the find, some fans messaged the star confused as to how it will tie into her finished bathroom.
HOUSE THAT?
Muireann then again took to her Instagram stories to explain how it will aid her home’s transformation.
Standing upstairs in her new pad, Muireann said: “So, the bathroom vanity unit.
“Of the 111 houses that I viewed I always knew that we would have a tiny bathroom.
“So, I’ve been looking into ways to make them look bigger.
“And all interior designer have said to lift furniture and fittings off the ground and it will give the illusion of more floor space.
NO MUIR
“So, that is what I am doing with the bathroom, but like our bathroom would be smaller than most people’s en-suites.”
She added: “So, I just need to try and make it look bigger, I also just adore that unit and all things old world, I don’t really like new things.
“So that’s why I’ve chosen that, now… In saying that the tiles are so dark that I’ve probably just ruined the illusion of having space.
“There’s no more decisions after this bathroom until next year, I’m done.”
