IRELAND AM star Muireann O'Connell has said she's "half a stone up" as she slipped into a stunning dress. The Virgin Media star was back on air this morning alongside Alan Hughes and Sean Defoe, who's currently filling in for Tommy Bowe . Muireann often shares her stylish looks with her fans over on Instagram after the show and today was no different.

The Limerick beauty took a video of herself getting ready for work in the studio's changing room. The popular host put on a stunning black maxi slip dress with a navy blazer on top. She paired the outfit with black pointed-toe heels and some bling.

Muireann captioned her post: "God bless an oversized blazer when you’re half a stone up from when you bought the dress. "Even if the jacket was taken out of the dry cleaning bag. Desperate times.

" The Irish star also showed off her clever hack to shorten the blazer's sleeves by putting a bobbin around her arms and tucked the sleeves into them. She explained: "I saw shirt sleeve holders on the Victoria Beckham website recently for €110. ONE HUNDRED AND TEN EURO.

"Just use some go-gos babe. €2 for a pack of 10. Does it cut off your bloody supply.
