Last night.

On RTÉ’s Six One News.

Marty Morrissey delivered his GAA report from a shed.

The broadcaster didn’t report that he had any coronavirus symptoms.

Please.

This afternoon.

Marty Morrissey – carrying frisky (and slightly frightening) mime artist ‘Marcel So What‘ – celebrates his appointment as a style judge at this Saturday’s Kerrygold Irish Oaks at The Curragh Racecourse.

The broadcaster joins a panel that includes telly’s Sybil Mulcahy (right) and fashion stylist Ciara O’Doherty (left).

They will award the most stylish racegoer (man or woman) with a luxury weekend for two at the Ballyfin Demesne with €1,000 spending money.
