Eoghan McDermott “Accidentally” Gave Out Roz Purcell’s Number Live On 2fm

Looks like Eoghan McDermott just trolled the RTÉ Drivetime listeners...  We're not gonna lie... We were sweating for 2fm and Eoghan McDermott this afternoon as it appeared he accidentally broadcasted top model Rozanna Purcell's number to the nation on his 2fm Drivetime show.

Apologies to @RozannaPurcell - these things happen on radio. Sorry x

The Voice presenter was lining up an interview with the former Miss Universe contestant and didn't realise he was live on air. He asked the researcher to get Roz on the line and called out her number nice and clear, then repeated it just in case the researcher (and the nation) didn't quite catch it. He soon "realised" his mistake and apologised to Roz who is "unsurprisingly not taking any calls at the minute".

This is how we imagined Roz felt about the whole ordeal:

However, turns out the joke was on us, and the whole thing was a prank, a move that was applauded by the listeners (even though we'd say they're slightly devo they don't have her digits).

@eoghanmcdermo best piece of radio I've heard in a long while! Well played
