Geri Maye is a presenter on Irish radio and television. She features on Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ).
She was born in County Limerick. She used to work for RTÉ on The Den (children's television). Then she left RTÉ and went to Sydney before returning to present a show on RTÉ lyric fm. She was once engaged to Ray D'Arcy but the wedding was called off at the last minute.[1][2] She was also engaged to judge Brian Purcell from The Apprentice.[3]
On 21 December 2011, RTÉ announced her as the new co-presenter of Winning Streak. She replaced Kathryn Thomas and presented alongside Marty Whelan. She had done the Dream Maker Wheel segment and deputised for Kathryn Thomas in the past.[4] Whilst presenting the show, she caused controversy by mocking a contestant's accent and use of the first official language of the Irish state (Irish)Politics.ie She was unceremoniously axed from the Programme in August 2013 - her future at the station is currently in doubt as she has no programme role
