Síomha Ní Ruairc is leaving Ireland AM

Síomha hosted Ireland AM's weekend instalment for the last two years.

She presented the show alongside Martin King and Elaine Crowley.

Síomha confirmed the news in an emotional post on Instagram this afternoon.

The mum-to-be told her followers, "After two amazing years, I’m taking a step away from Ireland AM. Between the early starts and the other projects I’m working on, it’s the best decision for me right now."

"A huge thank you to the dedicated, driven, and super supportive team behind the camera!

"The talented and magical hands of hair & make up. The legends on the floor & in the gallery, our supremely generous and entertaining contributors- and of course mo leathbhádóirí - Martin and Elaine, who I’ve had the best time with and learnt so much from."

Síomha said she will miss working on Ireland AM so much, but also hinted at exciting future projects.

"Will miss the singing, laughing, and camaraderie. I’ll still be on your screens lots in the next few months - and have an announcement on my next adventure coming very soon…"

There's no doubt viewers will miss seeing Síomha on their screens.

Many famous faces sent Síomha loving messages following her announcement, including Eric Roberts, Elaine Crowley, and Katja Mia.
