Virgin Media presenter and former Dancing with the Stars contestant, Katja Mia, has announced her engagement to her long-term partner Daragh Curran.
The Six O'Clock Show co-host shared the happy news with her followers on Instagram, with the caption: "August dump…but make it different ARGHhh! #augustdump #engagement #fiancé."
Mia and her social media creator partner first met on Tinder back in 2017, and recently celebrated their seven-year anniversary.
Daragh also posted to social media to share the happy milestone, joking: "Bad news: didn't get Oasis tickets. Good news: she didn’t say no."
The Blanchardstown-raised TV star graduated from Maynooth University in 2018, where she studied international finance, economics and German.
She was discovered by a modelling agency in summer 2020 after posting pictures online and in October 2022, Mia guest hosted Virgin Media Ireland's morning show for a week.
A month later, it was announced that she would take up full-time hosting duties of the weekend edition of the programme.
Mia took part in the most recent outing of RTÉ One's Dancing with the Stars and was partnered with pro dancer, Ervinas Merfeldas.
After a dance-off against Blu Hydrangea and Simone Arena, the judges chose to put through to the semi-final.
Speaking to Jennifer Zamparelli on 2fm shortly after her elimination, Mia said she "truly didn't expect" to make it far in the competition.
"I couldn't do any sort of a lift when I began with this experience, so to have done what we've done so far, I am very impressed and I'm proud of us," she said.
Pro dancer Merfeldas was full of praise for his celebrity partner, saying: "You've shocked everybody with what you've done on this show. Making the quarter-final is ridiculous.
"It surprised me from the very start how receptive she was to everything and how she picked up stuff very quickly. You made the hard stuff look easy. You were the definition of a natural performer. It blew me away."
