The trio split after Doireann and Donncha left 2FM last year, with the former returning to the station to host Drivetime several months later.

However, Carl has revealed he was “really worried” that it would also be the end of his friendship with the pair.

Speaking to the RTE Guide, Carl said: “From my point of view, I was upset that two people I'd become very close to were leaving. Donncha, Doireann and I had managed to land on something with that show that was very special.

“We enjoyed it so much. I was really worried at the time that with them leaving the show, it'd be the end of our friendship, and that's what upset me the most.
