To complete the look, Ronan sported a pair of beige chino trousers and opted for a pair of suede boots.

Meanwhile Harriet cut a stylish figure in a black leather midi skirt and sported it with a white T-shirt.

It comes after Ronan announced that he is leaving the Magic Radio Breakfast show after seven years, live on air during a show.

The Boyzone star became a co-host on the morning show alongside Harriet in September 2017.

Speaking on the morning show, he revealed he was stepping down from presenting, with his last show on July 31, but said he would remain in the Magic Radio family.

Ronan insisted it had been a ‘difficult decision’, but that he wanted to get back to his music career and spend more time with his family.

Addressing the listeners live on air in the studio, Ronan said: ‘It’s been very difficult for me to come to this conclusion, and to make this decision.’

Ronan appeared emotional as he took to the mic

Despite the emotional farewell the duo were still in high spirits

‘I wanted our listeners, our Magic Breakfast listeners and our Magic Radio listeners to be the first to know.

‘That after seven years and so many incredible shows, I’ve decided to stand down from Magic Breakfast at the end of July.’

‘I have loved every single minute, this has not been an easy decision at all. I came on board as you know for a year, maybe two and I’ve loved the job so much that I’ve stayed here for seven.’

‘We’ve had an amazing time and we’ve been through some incredibly emotional times with people at home.’

‘Those two years that the world changed. It was an honour to be able to be in people’s homes and communicate with them like we did.’

Speaking to co-host Harriet, he continued: ‘So yeah, although I won’t be waking the nation up anymore with you, I look forward to, I guess reconnecting with what I did before this – you know getting back to my music and touring. Even though I’ve been doing it, trying to do both together has not been easy at times.’

‘And getting back to being with my family – you know doing school runs and those things that I’ve missed out on. Waking up with my wife in the morning, you know? I know it sounds ridiculous but it’s really important and I’ve missed that.’

He went on to pay tribute to Harriet and thank the listeners and crew, saying: ‘What I’ve realised is how incredible it is to connect with people.’

‘The medium of radio is so powerful, more powerful than anything else in this modern age. And it’s been a real honour to broadcast and be considered a radio broadcaster.’

‘You [Harriet] and I, they put us together. Who knew that this could work?! It’s been incredible. I’m going to miss you. It’d been an amazing seven years.’

He said: ‘You [Harriet] and I, they put us together. Who knew that this could work?! It’s been incredible. I’m going to miss you. It’d been an amazing seven years.’

‘You’ve taught me so much Harriet Scott, you’re a radio legend, and it has been an honour to broadcast with you.’

‘You’ve taught me so much Harriet Scott, you’re a radio legend, and it has been an honour to broadcast with you.’

‘You’ve shown me how to do this and it’s been an honour, and I’m not leaving the Magic Radio family, just Magic Breakfast for me – it’s time for me to go.’

‘A massive thank you to everybody for the love you’ve shown me, the love you’ve shown this show for the last seven years. It’d been incredible.’

After the news, Harriet gushed: ‘Well what can I say, I’m heartbroken that I’ll soon no longer be sharing my mornings with my sidekick, but I’m also absolutely delighted for him to be embarking on his next chapter.’

‘Ronan is one of a kind and I know we haven’t seen the last of him here at Magic!’
