What an awful thing to happen.
Eoghan McDermott has opened up about his New Year’s, saying that it was a “bittersweet” time since his house was unfortunately broken into.
The presenter welcomed in 2020 in Söll in Austria with his girlfriend, Aoife Melia, however a “gang of four men… smashed up a few things” and stole his car back at home.
Eoghan took to Instagram to share pictures of his holiday and wrote: “Bittersweet few days in Söll for New Year’s! The place is sensationally beautiful and I can see us visiting for many years to come. Sadly when we were away a gang of four men broke into our house and smashed up a few things before stealing my car.

“Very strange to know someone has been in your personal space with the intent of doing damage and harm. Some neighbours alerted me pretty immediately after the alarm went off and called the Gardaí. Thanks to them, nice to know people looking out for you!”
He went on to thank his family who stayed in the house and sorted everything out for him since he was away on holiday.
“Mega thanks to my sis Roe, brother in law Malcolm and parents – who, between them staying in the house til the smashed windows and doors were secured the next day, liaised with Gardaí and insurance folk and cleaned the place as best they could so there was as little trace as possible apart from the obvious big damage when we arrived home. Superstars!”
Eoghan finished the post by saying things could have been worse and he’s thankful nobody was harmed during the ordeal.
“It could’ve been worse of course, nobody hurt and things are just things. Perhaps it’s time to invest in an electric scooter! Onwards.”
Many of Eoghan’s friends and fans rushed to comment on the post, saying they were sorry to hear what had happened.
