?NEWS ? (Side note before I get to it) I once ruined my mother-in-laws surprise birthday by asking if she was looking forward to the party ? so the fact that I’ve kept this a secret is quite an achievement in itself… BUT, that’s not the news & its no-ones birthday…. I have just signed to be the new host of RTE Saturday Nights with my very own show!! It’s something I’ve wanted to do for AGES & I can’t quite believe it’s happening… ?? We’ve been working away for the past couple of months trying to create a show that I wish already existed (although probably lucky it doesn’t!). “Angela Scanlon’s Ask me Anything” kicks off in March 9.40pm @rteone ? I can’t promise Oprah but I’m trying to have a house kitten on set (ginger obviously), I’ll keep you posted on that xx *It will also be available on @rteplayer for everyone in the UK* ?? OK bye ??
