‘I’ve succeeded in my career – but at a price’

WHEN the news broke yesterday morning that one of Ireland’s best loved TV presenters Gráinne Seoige had split from husband and partner of 11 years, Stephen Cullinane, it came as no surprise that the friends, colleagues and family of the pair were staying tight lipped about the break up.

The couple, who are known for being guarded about their relationship and protective of their teenage son and stepson Conall, were both keeping very low profiles after the news was made public.

In the corridors of RTÉ’s Montrose studios, Gráinne’s colleagues were no doubt shocked to learn about the end of the TV star’s eight-year marriage but no one was willing to say a word.
