We could all do with a healthy dose of cheering up right now but those missing out on an important event or milestone definitely deserve a shout out.
Ireland AM host Ciara Doherty turns 38 this week and like the rest of the nation, her options for marking the day are fairly limited.
No doubt Ciara thought 38 was going to be a quiet one but she was wrong! During one point in the filming, co-host Alan Hughes announced: ‘We can’t go any further without wishing a very Happy Birthday to Ciara, 26 today.’ The kind gesture made her laugh out loud and she quipped back: ‘Be honest with the viewers, 28… plus 10′ adding ’38 feeling 138 most days.’ While Ciara enjoyed a giggle, it was clear that she wasn’t expecting what happened next.
