Republic of Telly stars Jennifer Maguire and Bernard O'Shea were announced today as the new hosts of 2fm's breakfast show, alongside Keith Walsh.

They are replacing Hector O h’Eochagáin, who recently left the station. The Galway-based presenter is due to return to RTÉ Television screens in the spring, with a new series of Hector Goes.

The new breakfast line-up is part of an overall shake-up in the schedule, which is likely to see a number of changes being introduced across the day.

The news was announced via the 2fm Twitter account, which said: "So I guess these guys will have to do #2fm #surprisesurprise.” The tweet was accompanied by a photo of the three of them in prison style orange jumpsuits featuring the 2fm logo.

While Jennifer and Bernard made their names with Republic of Telly, they are being joined in the 2fm breakfast slot by Phantom 105.2 presenter Keith Walsh. Keith and Bernard have worked together before – on a radio breakfast show for iRadio 105 -107.
