'I needed more time off this summer and RTE just couldn’t give me that,' she said.
RTE star Jennifer Zamparelli has revealed she quit 2FM because the station couldn't give her the time off during the summer to spend time with her family.
The mother-of-two admitted: “There was just something telling me there was something else I had to do. And I always go with my gut. My gut was telling me not to sign that contract. Speaking in her first interview since she left 2FM, she told VIP magazine that it hasn’t been “too much of a shock” not hosting her morning radio show but confessed: “I miss it terribly.”She admitted RTE couldn’t give her the time she needed off this summer to spend with her children after her husband Lau landed a new job.
Jennifer took an extended break after Dancing With The Stars to look after her father who was unwell. Jennifer’s announcement came after she took extended leave from her radio show earlier this year and when we contacted RTE about her return date, the broadcaster gave us a “no comment”. Jennifer said in a statement: "I have been working in 2FM for 10 amazing years and now it’s time for me to move on. It has been a really difficult decision to make as I love my team, and of course chatting to you guys every morning.
