Comedian Joanne McNally has a lot to be happy about these days.
Not only does she have 50 gigs at Vicar street coming up as part of her new tour 'The Prosecco Express', but she also has recently found love. And the Irish podcaster has now revealed the identity of her secret boyfriend.
The My Therapist Ghosted Me podcast presenter posted a sweet pic on Instagram kissing her new man, who she met on the celebrity dating app, Raya. She captioned the post: "Hard launch @alanbyrne10," she wrote, revealing her new boyfriend's name.

"Felt cute, will defo delete later," the caption continued. The Dubliner, who had been keeping her romance out of the public eye, then quickly deleted the post from her Instagram feed.
Earlier this month, she shared a snap from a cafe in London of her new flame, doodling over his eyes to conceal his identity. Playing into the mystery surrounding her love life, she captioned the pic "soft launch", followed by a rocket emoji.
Joanne revealed in May that she was dating a Dublin model and DJ. During an Instagram Q&A, she joked that she was mortified to admit that she's no longer single.
"I'm actually seeing someone," the 39-year-old shared. "I met an Irish guy on Raya, he's sound, and we're like, dating or whatever. But obviously, I'm going to block him from seeing this video because I don't want him to know I'm acknowledging we're dating because (it's) embarrassing."
She then joked that the two were basically "engaged" because they were not seeing anyone else at the time and were exclusive. Referring to Alan as 'Dennis', she told podcast co-host Vogue Williams : "I went back home with the intention of wrapping it up with Dennis."
"I was like, 'Look, it can't go anywhere. I don't live there; you don't live here [London]. You've got kids, you're not going anywhere. Anyway, I basically lived with him for five days in Killiney Castle, and now I think we're engaged."

She added: "It was basically like, 'Are you riding anyone else?' 'No. Are you riding anyone else?' 'No.' He was like, 'Let's just ride the wave', and I guess I'm the wave."
Joanne also revealed that she was lucky to have met her new man after she was banned from using Raya after she was caught screenshotting other people's photos to send to her friends.
Joking about the incident on the Late Late Show, she told Ryan Tubridy : "Anyway, I screen-grabbed Lewis Hamilton, and then this alarm starts coming up, basically going, 'You've just identified yourself as a pleb because you're screen-grabbing the celebrities. You don't belong here – get out."
