Muireann O'Connell admits having cosmetic procedure in order to be 'honest' with fans

Muireann O'Connell has admitted she had a cosmetic procedure on her face in a bid to be "honest" with her fans.

The Ireland AM presenter said she has had the "tiniest amount" of Botox to target crow's feet next to her eyes.

The 39-year-old made the admission on her Instagram page in order to give "full disclosure" to her followers who have previously asked her.

Muireann revealed she had tried to get Botox two years ago but was advised she didn't need it.

She shared a light-hearted snap of her laughing with her aesthetic doctor on her Stories and wrote: "Full disclosure because I always get asked, had me first bit of Botox.

"Last week I went to see @drclodagh_ in @beaconfaceanddermatology to sort out the crows feet.

"They've gotten so bad over the past 2 years with the mornings and not sleeping so I just decided to do something about it."

"Fantastic pic. We were laughing too much - not when she had the needle in her hand, obvs."

Muireann then posted a video where she showed her followers exactly where on her face she had the Botox done.

In the video she pointed to skin on either side of her eyes, saying: "So I just had it here and I had it here."

"I went into a consultation with the Beacon, I think it was two years ago, and I was like 'give me some Botox'.

"And they were like 'nope you do not need it you're not getting it'.

"And this time when I went in Clodagh was like 'you are getting the tiniest amount' and I suggested other areas and she said 'absolutely not', which I loved.

"Just being really, really honest with you when you go into them and I wanted to be honest with you."

She added: "I feel just a little less dead, a little bit more awake in the morning - and that's it."

After fans replied to her story, Muireann added an update writing: "Who cares says you, I could not agree more."
