Here's what we know…
Angela Scanlon's husband and daughters
In June 2014, Angela married business entrepreneur Roy Horgan in a gorgeous ceremony in Wicklow. On their four-year anniversary, the presenter shared an adorable picture from their big day, captioning it: "Four years ago today, I married this absolute nugget of a human under a tree with all our favourite people heckling. The kindest, smartest, most stubborn man I know. The yin to my yang. The steak to my tofu (or something)... My [world emoji]."

In her latest clip, Angela tries on a glittery shawl and matching blue skirt. "It's a midi," explains an enthused Angela, "but weirdly flirty… this little puppy's out to party!"

She captioned the post: "Missing my clan today (mother on camera duty!) and missing the luxury of sitting on a boat in an inappropriate dress eating sweets.
