Donal Skehan has revealed that he is making the move across the Atlantic to settle in America.
The Howth native and his wife Sofie, who have previously spent some time in the US, are headed to LA early next year.
“Right now we are doing as much as we can do in Ireland but the opportunities are there in the US,” he said.

“Sofie and I are still young and don’t have children yet so we see it as the time to go. We will spend a year there and see what happens.”
Speaking to the RTE Guide, the Dubliner revealed their US move wouldn’t be permanent – even though having a number of close friends in the states.
“In my head, it’s not an indefinite move to the States. But this will be our sixth Irish TV series and it’s my fifth cookbook, so it’s the time to try something new,” he admitted.
“It’s exciting for us, that moment of ‘what next?’ which is where we are right now,” he said.

“It’s a really scary place, it’s an exciting place and it’s full of possibilities. Even thinking about it gives me goosebumps.
“The TV side of things will always be hard to crack in America, but those 250,000 people who subscribe to my Youtube channel are based in the US,” he added.
“The Irish foodie has his own Youtube channel, but also signed to Jamie Oliver’s account last year which gave a huge boost to his global repertoire.”
