Craig Doyle: From This Morning to MasterChef, a Look at the Life Beyond the Lens
Known for his affable presence on TV since the mid-90s, Craig Doyle has enjoyed a successful career in the world of entertainment. He recently rose to prominence as a regular face on *This Morning*, stepping into the spotlight following the departures of Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby. While he shared hosting duties with Josie Gibson, Doyle is now carving out his own path with a new venture: *Celebrity MasterChef*.
As Craig prepares to showcase his culinary skills, viewers are naturally curious about the man behind the microphone. Beyond the cameras, Doyle enjoys a quiet life with his wife Doon and their family. Doon, also hailing from Ireland, was an interior designer before dedicating herself to raising their children. Unlike her husband, she prefers to keep a low profile, avoiding the public glare.
The Doyles maintain residences in both Wicklow, Ireland, and Kew, London, allowing Craig to easily commute for his TV commitments. The couple, who dated for several years prior to tying the knot, celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary in 2021. Their love story began with a rather awkward encounter in a gym, as Craig himself revealed: "I was home in Ireland just before I started on *Tomorrow's World
and a mate of mine said to me 'Doyler! Ya gotta meet this bird! I tried my heart out with her but it isn't happening.' She was working in the gym part-time before she started college and I went along to the gym. I didn't even have gym gear with me. I had a pair of shorts and a pair of shoes, I looked like a right mess and I met her and I thought 'holy god!'"
Despite his initial nervousness, their connection was undeniable. The couple are parents to four children: Quinn (20), Muireann (19), Milo (17), and Elsa (14). The revelation of Doyle's age came as a surprise to many *This Morning
viewers, who were stunned to discover the affable host was already in his 50s.
Beyond the family life, Craig has also been vocal about his brother, Keith, who made headlines in the Irish Sun in 2022 for an embarrassing mishap. Keith confessed to leaving the immersion heater switched on for seven years, a revelation he described as "the worst thing that could ever happen!" Craig, ever the humorous brother, took to Instagram to share the anecdote, writing: "Yes, this is my brother who has brought shame to our family. A sin worthy of excommunication in Ireland. So big it made the papers. 'DID YOU TURN OFF THE IMMERSION?'"
As Craig Doyle embarks on his *Celebrity MasterChef
journey, viewers can expect to see a different side to the well-loved presenter. From the warmth of his family life to the lighthearted tales of his brother's misadventures, Craig Doyle proves to be a man of many facets, proving that there is much more to him than meets the eye.
