RTE host Miriam O’Callaghan takes us beyond her grey-blue front door for a bite-sized tour around her home ahead of tomorrow night’s show.
The RTE star, who will tomorrow once again take to the couch for her Saturday night summer chat show, takes us beyond the hall door, and into her hallway and living room.
Miriam shows us her signed copy of Seamus Heaney’s poem Scaffolding, which the Nobel Laureate himself dedicated to herself and her husband Steve.
Viewers also get a sneak peak of her piano, which she plays herself, and her library of books which includes political titles on figures like Tony Blair.
Perhaps most lovely of all, the mum-of-eight has a photo of a family member's graduation proudly placed on her piano.
