popular culture Doyle has become part of Irish popular culture. Puppets Podge and Rodge frequently reference Doyle in their jokes, and the satirical comedy Bull Island also featured impersonations of Anne Doyle, including parodied news bulletins in which she would state "I am Anne Doyle. I am the news". She also has a long-standing association with Dustin the Turkey. Stamp Marking RTÉ's 50th anniversary in 2011, Doyle became the first Wexford person to appear on a postage stamp during her lifetime. Personal life Following a 17-year relationship with an electrician which ended in August 1996, Doyle had a much publicised relationship with Jim McDaid (former Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation). She met McDaid at a function at New York in late 1997, and the relationship ended acrimoniously after about six months. She has been in a relationship with restaurant owner, Dan McGrattan, since the beginning of the 2000s. In February 2012, she came fifth in a poll to find Ireland's most desirable Valentines.
