However, she has now headed home, with Arthur writing an emotional message.

Taking to Instagram to share a photo of them both, Arthur wrote: "And just like that, the three months came to an end, but it’s not a goodbye; it’s a “À bientôt” because it’s official - Tati is coming back for Christmas. This morning was emotional, to say the least. I honestly hate, hate, hate, hate this part, and I’m not going to lie. Now, some might roll their eyes at what I’m about to say at 44 , but yes, I AM A MAMA’S BOY, and I’m proud of it. Bon voyage, Maman Cherie. À très bientôt. Je t’aime."

Luckily, Arthur won't have to spend too much time away from his mum as she'll be back for Christmas.

It comes as husband Brian Dowling has said that moving to Dublin has helped him balance parenting and made juggling two jobs so much easier.

Brian told RSVP Magazine: “Blu is a couple of months old now and the time has honestly gone so quickly. She has started to sleep through the night which is incredible.

“I feel like going from one child to two is like having four or five children. When you have one kid, and they’re really young, once they sleep and eat you kind of have a lot of time in between each feed to get things done. Now with having Blake — she’s two and she’s wild – you don’t really get a second. But I grew up as one of seven siblings, so I’m used to chaos and the loudness.”

“When I lived in Straffan I’d be up every morning at 6am. I’d get Blake’s food and clothes ready for the day, take out the bins, walk 25 minutes to the bus, and commute for over an hour. I would get into 98FM, do my show, get into a car, go to Virgin Media for Six, do the show, come home — and do it all over again,” he added.

“But we live in Dublin now, which is so much easier for work. I remember at one point last year I was on Ireland AM on the weekends, guest hosting Six, shooting [interior series] The Salvage Squad and doing radio – and we had Blake.”
