Born and bred in Ireland, the presenter comes from a large family and like to keep her own little brood private. But if you're intrigued and want to know more about the Irish beauty's family as she takes to the Strictlydancefloor with Carlos Gu, then look no further. Here's what we know…

Angela Scanlon's husband and daughters

In June 2014, Angela married business entrepreneur Roy Horgan in a gorgeous ceremony in Wicklow. On their four-year anniversary, the presenter shared an adorable picture from their big day, captioning the picture: "Four years ago today, I married this absolute nugget of a human under a tree with all our favourite people heckling. The kindest, smartest, most stubborn man I know. The yin to my yang. The steak to my tofu (or something)... My [world emoji]."

In February 2018, the pair welcomed their eldest daughter, Ruby Ellen. They went on to welcome a second daughter called Marnie Fae in February 2022. 

At the time of Marnie's birth, Angela posted the sweetest update on Instagram writing: "Marnie Fae Horgan 11.2.22 [sparkle emoji] Chapped lips & chapped nips can only mean one thing… Our little woman has arrived!! We are besotted." 

While Angela likes to keep her family life private, she occasionally shares photos of her little ones. 

Over the summer, the mum-of-two posted a carousel of heartwarming holiday snapshots featuring her two daughters. The family-of-four appeared in high spirits during their trip to Angela's native Ireland.  In her caption, she gushed: "Honestly when the sun shines in Ireland there is nowhere I (or anyone) would rather be." 

Touching on her blissful family life, she went on to say: "Flying back to London today to start a new adventure & feeling all sorts of feelings but these past few weeks with my family have made me feel so grateful for everything I have in my life. So much love & freedom & support & laughter (and bread). Maybe my favourite ever summer. I know it's not over but…."

Ahead of the series, Angela gave her followers a glimpse inside her and part of it sweetly involved her young daughters. The star posed alongside the duo in a lift, and the sweetest picture of Ruby playing on a skateboard in the park.

Although little is known about her siblings, the 39-year-old posted this adorable throwback picture on her Instagram of her family. She captioned the post: "Missing my clan today (mother on camera duty!) and missing the luxury of sitting on a boat in an inappropriate dress eating sweets. Also, I just fell in love with myself a tiny bit because I see my own little mad egg baby in my face & she's cute as [expletive]."
