This comes after Ronan announced she was leaving Magic Radio Breakfast after seven years, live on air during a show.

The Boyzone star became co-host of the morning show alongside Harriet in September 2017.

Speaking on the morning show, he revealed he would be stepping down from presenting, with his last show on July 31, but said he would remain in the Magic Radio family.

Ronan insisted it had been a “difficult decision” but that he wanted to return to his music career and spend more time with his family.

Addressing listeners live from the studio, Ronan said: “It’s been very difficult for me to come to this conclusion and make this decision.”

‘I wanted our listeners, our Magic Breakfast listeners and our Magic Radio listeners to be the first to know.

‘After seven years and so many amazing shows, I have decided to retire from Magic Breakfast at the end of July.’

On his final day, Ronan appeared emotional as he took to the stage to perform his country song When You Say Nothing At All.

“I’ve enjoyed every minute of it, it wasn’t an easy decision at all. I came on board, as you know, for a year, maybe two, and I’ve loved my job so much that I’ve stayed here for seven.”

“We’ve had an incredible time and have been through incredibly emotional moments with people at home.”

“Those two years in which the world changed. It was an honour to be able to be in people’s homes and communicate with them as we did.”

Speaking to co-host Harriet, she continued: “Yeah, even though I won’t be waking up the nation with you anymore, I’m hoping to reconnect with what I was doing before this, you know, getting back to my music and going on tour. Even though I’ve been doing that, trying to do both at once hasn’t been easy at times.”

“And being with my family again, you know, taking the kids to school and all that stuff that I missed. Waking up with my wife in the morning, you know? I know it sounds ridiculous, but it’s so important and I’ve missed it.”

She went on to pay tribute to Harriet and thank listeners and the team, saying: “I’ve realised how amazing it is to connect with people.”

“The medium of radio is very powerful, more powerful than any other in this modern era. And it has been a real honor to be able to broadcast and be considered a radio host.”

“You (Harriet) and I got together. Who would have thought this could work? It’s been amazing. I’m going to miss you. It’s been an amazing seven years.”

‘You’ve taught me so much, Harriet Scott. You’re a radio legend and it’s been an honour to broadcast with you.’

‘You’ve shown me how to do this and it’s been an honour, and I’m not leaving the Magic Radio family, just Magic Breakfast for myself; it’s time for me to go.’

“A huge thank you to everyone for the love they’ve shown me, the love they’ve shown this program over the last seven years. It’s been incredible.”

Following the news, Harriet gushed: “Well, what can I say? It breaks my heart to think that I will soon no longer be sharing my mornings with my partner, but I am also absolutely thrilled that he is embarking on his next chapter.”

‘Ronan is one of a kind and I know we haven’t seen the last of him here at Magic.’
