RTE star Daithi O’Se has revealed he’s so baby mad that he wants at least two more babies.
The Rose of Tralee host insisted that more kids are “definitely on the cards” and he’s hoping for wife Rita Talty to “have twins”.
It comes after the birth of their first child Micheal Og on St Patrick’s Day.
He said: “We’re enjoying Micheal Og at the moment but it’s definitely on the cards at some stage. I’d like to have twins. That would be great.”

However the Today presenter admitted that it has been tough his dad never got to see his son.
Beloved Maidhc Dainin passed away in August, 2013 – and Daithi admits the death “really hit him” shortly after Micheal Og’s birth.
But Daithi said looking at the five-month-old makes him instantly feel better.
“After the baby was born it really hit me about my father. There was one time, about two o’clock in the morning, when I was feeding the young fellow and it all came on,” he told the RTE Guide.

“I thought, ‘My father’s gone now and I wish that they got to meet each other’. There were tears in my eyes and Micheal Og was looking up at me as if to say, ‘I know how you are feeling dad’.
“And there were days too when you think, ‘Maybe I should have been a better son’ but that’s the way it was.
“Then you wake up in the morning and look at Micheal Og and he’s dancing inside in the cot and he’s smiling at you. That takes everything away’.
