PJ Gallagher has revealed he is expecting twins with girlfriend Kelly Doolin.
The Naked Camera star revealed the happy news on his Morning Glory radio show on Radio Nova on Monday morning to co-host Jim McCabe.
But PJ said the news about becoming a father to twins - boy and a girl - is “terrifying but brilliant”, admitting he hasn’t even met his girlfriend’s parents yet.
He said: “I came in one morning and I said, ‘Jim, you’re not going to believe it. Me and Kelly we’re having a new version of ourselves, this is a baby on the way. I’m becoming a dad,” he said.
“We went to the doctor again because the first time we went and we saw the baby and we were like, ‘No way, look there’s an actual...there it is, woo that’s real.
“Then we went back the second time. See they didn’t see, there were actually two of them so we’re having twins. So we’re actually having twins - we’re having two of them, a boy and a girl, holy fart. There you are now.
“We are delighted, so it’s gas. It’s terrifying but brilliant.”
The couple are due to welcome their twins in late August.
He said it was “amazing what nature does” before bringing his partner Kelly (33) into the studio to tell listeners more about the twin pregnancy.
Kelly (33), who’s originally from Boston but has lived here for 12 years working in Dublin as a scientist, said that she was “excited” about the looming arrivals.
“I was quite sick during the first trimester and PJ took really very good care of me,” she said.
“My folks haven’t met PJ in person yet and I guess they didn’t know too much about PJ so I was a little bit nervous, particularly to tell my dad that I was pregnant. He’s just a protective father because I think the only things they knew about PJ was that he’d been in a mental hospital pretty recently and that he had a big fight with Conor McGregor on Twitter. But my dad took the news well, thank God.”
The happy couple, who met through their mutual love of Bohemians FC, will go over to America at the end of April to meet her whole family ahead of becoming first-time parents.
It’s been a tough few years for the popular Radio Nova presenter, who opened up about his battle with depression and anxiety on the Late Late Show last year.
He also suffered further heartbreak after the loss of his mother, Helen, who died last November.
