RTE star Maura Derrane has made a triumphant return to screens this week as she had fans raving over her latest outfit, with viewers branding her a ‘television hottie’.
The highly successful presenter once again took up the helm of hosting duties alongside co-star Daithi O’Se as the pair returned to the Today show on Monday, January 6.
TV’s favourite power duo were delighted to be back from their annual Christmas break and back in the RTE studios as viewers welcomed them back to screens.
Ever the style icon, Maura chose a gorgeous outfit to make her return that had fans obsessed as the Aran Islands star stunned in a cream blazer and matching skirt.
She paired the two piece suit with a brown cami top and cream heeled boots.
Daithi greeted Maura at the beginning of Wednesday’s programme saying: “Happy New Year Maura, did you have a nice Christmas?”
The mum-of-one replied: “And a happy New Year to you Daithi. I did, very quiet – I probably needed that.”
Maura posed for a stunning snap on set after the show and shared it on Instagram.
She captioned her post: “Back at it @rtetoday 2025!”

A third commented: “Great to see you back Maura! Beautiful suit.”
Meanwhile a fourth wrote: “Looking fantastic Maura. Happy New Year.”
Last month, Maura revealed she ‘nearly passed out’ at a Galway theatre as she shared the story with her followers.
Like many of us, the Today presenter was back home for Christmas and while looking through old photos, took a trip down memory lane.
During her search, the Aran Islands native came across an old newspaper clipping from her days treading the boards as a young actress at the Taibhdhearc Theatre in Galway.
Reminiscing about her first time on stage, she said the prospect of the spotlight saw her ‘nearly pass out’ on opening night.
However, getting through her fear that night allowed the talented RTE star to reach the career heights she has come to nearly thirty years later.
The memory made the presenter laugh as she shared it with her followers on social media.

In a post on Instagram with the photo she explained: “Every time I come home to Inis Mór, I find a memory my mother has kept from many moons ago. She showed me this newspaper clipping the other day, which she kept from 1995, when I launched my acting career!
“It’s a play from the Taibhdhearc Theatre in Galway. I had just started working on television at the time, but has such a fear of cameras and public speaking that I decided I had to do something to get over it. Facing my fears on stage seemed like the best way to do it.
“I seriously nearly passed out of the opening night, not just from the flu, but seeing actual humans in the audience. But it was exhilarating at the same time.
“And it worked! It help me face the camera and continue working in this industry since. Facing our fears is the only way!”
