Miriam O'Callaghan only bagged chat show after getting tipsy with bosses

Miriam O’Callaghan has revealed she ended up with her own chat show – after asking people personal questions while tipsy.

The RTE star admitted her Saturday Night With Miriam programme came about after her likability was spotted over a few drinks after Prime Time.

“Some nights the Prime Time team and guests would have a few drinks in the green room after the show and chat,” she explained.

“And when I loosened up, I’d start asking people personal questions and details of their lives.

“Some of my friends became my bosses and said what about this other side of you that nobody sees outside of the green room.”

But mum-of-eight Miriam told Senior Times that her kids aren’t so happy when she has a bit of a tipple.

“We were in a pub in Dingle and I hear the kids say, ‘Oh no, mum is going to sing!’,” she said.

“They have zero interest in my career. Funny things happen when I bring my eight-year-old out with me.

“He can’t get his head around people talking to me. He’ll ask, ‘How do you know that man mum, and of course I don’t.”

The Montrose favourite added that her favourite time is when she is at home “watching television and drinking a glass of red wine.”
