Alongside the snapshots, Angela included a long list of small moments which brought her joy across the weekend.

The likes of hair plaiting, dressing like a Teletubby and "crafting on a slow Sunday morning," all made the cut, suggesting that the Irish presenter relishes spending quality time at home with her daughters.

Angela's fans and friends inundated the comments section with sweet messages. One wrote: "I love that the girls have your hair colour- it's beautiful," while a second noted: "Love your posts - they bring me joy."

A third quipped: "Putting her to work soon... hope you weren't thinking as a hairdresser.... maybe a little more practice first," and a fourth commented: "Please tell us where the gorgeous red and white trousers are from!"

Angela shares her two daughters with her husband Roy Horgan. The couple said "I do" in June 2014 and celebrated their nuptials with a gorgeous ceremony in Wicklow.

They welcomed their eldest daughter Ruby Ellen in February 2018, and went on to welcome their youngest daughter Marnie Fae in February 2022.

It's been a busy few weeks for the BBC presenter who is set to join the line-up for the upcoming series of Strictly Come Dancing. After news of her participation was announced, the mother-of-two said: "I'm terrified, I’m excited and I have so many questions.

"Will they make me tan? How itchy are sequins?! Do they do flesh-coloured sports bras? Well - there’s only one way to find out, right!? Now I’m panicking a bit... but also secretly thrilled about the prospect of all that glitter. Let's go!"
