Miriam Mullins.

Cork TikTok creator and broadcaster. Profiled by the Irish Examiner in December 2021 as the public-scale breakout of her cohort. Announced on 24 February 2023 as RedFM's newest radio presenter, hosting Red Hits from 13 March 2023, 7pm-12am, Monday to Thursday. The subject of named backlash coverage in March 2023 around that station move. The second celebrity eliminated from Dancing with the Stars on 28 January 2024. Named on TikTok's own Irish shortlist for the 2025 TikTok Awards UK & Ireland in the Creator of the Year field. Confirmed still on RedFM via the live station route bundle on 25 April 2026. Six captured receipts, every named claim footnoted, every source URL paired with a same-day local capture and (where archive.org rate limits permitted) a same-day Wayback snapshot.

What this dossier is. A receipts-first record of the public chronology around Miriam Mullins. We describe what she and the broadcasters around her have said and done on the public record, with a footnoted source for every named claim. This is not a profile, an opinion piece, or a take. It is the source layer that lads.ie and other commentators are free to draw from. Hard-line note: this dossier covers public work, broadcaster crossover, named backlash coverage, the Dancing with the Stars participation rung, and platform-continuity markers. It does not cover relationship content, family content, lifestyle overshare, or any claim where the receipt is a forum recap, a screenshot of an unattributed comment, or a private-life thread.

Who she is, in a paragraph

Miriam Mullins is an Irish TikTok creator from east Cork. The Irish Examiner's 4 December 2021 profile2 placed her audience at the time at "more than 1.7 million followers across social media" and "more than 97 million TikTok likes," and recorded that she had moved back to east Cork from Boca Raton, Florida, at the start of the pandemic. Since 13 March 2023 she has been a RedFM presenter — first on the Red Hits slot, 7pm-12am Monday to Thursday, per Goss.ie's 24 February 2023 announcement story6; latterly her station presence is preserved on RedFM's own Dancing with the Staff podcast page, captured on 25 April 2026, where she is named as "Red FM's Miriam Mullins."1 Her TikTok handle, @miriammullins_, is exposed on TikTok's own 2025 Irish shortlist page5.

The first-party route map

Two first-party surfaces carry the public-facing identity layer for the broadcaster lane, both directly checked on the live web on 25 April 20261. RedFM's own breakfast-show page at redfm.ie/shows/red-fm-breakfast-with-kc-1500564 was still live, the station's breakfast podcast feed at redfm.ie/podcasts/breakfast-with-kc was still live, the station schedule still listed Red FM Breakfast with KC in the 06:00-09:00 slot, and the preserved DANCING WITH THE STAFF podcast episode still described the segment as catching up with "Red FM's Miriam Mullins." TikTok's own newsroom shortlist page at newsroom.tiktok.com/en-ie/tiktok-awards-ireland-2025 was still live as the first-party platform anchor for the 2025 shortlist rung5. Secondary press from the Irish Examiner, Goss.ie, Evoke, Sunday World and the Irish Times covers everything that needs a second observer.

4 December 2021 — the breakout profile

The earliest dated public-record receipt in the file is the Irish Examiner's 4 December 2021 profile2, headed "TikTok star Miriam Mullins is the most famous person in Ireland that you've never heard of." The piece fixed the pandemic-era breakout sequence: she returned home from Boca Raton, Florida, to east Cork at the start of the pandemic; the platform-scale numbers in the piece are "more than 1.7 million followers across social media" and "more than 97 million TikTok likes"; the public role is framed by the article as comedian, influencer, and role model. The receipt's editorial use is bounded — it is the breakout-scale anchor, not a substantive review of her individual posts. Subsequent platform metrics will move; the 2021 numbers in the receipt are date-anchored to that specific 4 December 2021 capture.

24 February 2023 — RedFM's Red Hits, announced

Fourteen months after the Examiner profile, on 24 February 2023, Goss.ie6 reported that Mullins had announced she was the newest radio presenter for Cork's RedFM and would host Red Hits from 13 March 2023, 7pm-12am, Monday to Thursday. The receipt is the dated broadcaster-entry rung — show name, days, slot, start date, all attributable to the same single story. Evoke's 9 March 2023 follow-up6 independently repeats the same RedFM presenter move and the same Red Hits slot inside its backlash sequence, so the broadcaster-entry claim does not rest on a single article. The 2023 radio phase exists in the file as the named-station-and-named-slot move; the dossier does not extrapolate beyond that to current on-air responsibilities, which have evolved since.

March 2023 — the backlash rung

Within a fortnight of the announcement, Sunday World3 published a named backlash report under the headline "TikTok star Miriam Mullins slams 'toxic' men for 'nasty' comments about radio gig." The captured article reports that RedFM had posted a TikTok announcing Mullins as their latest radio DJ; that "dozens of hostile comments" appeared under that post; and that Mullins publicly described the comments as "horrible stuff" in a follow-up of her own. Evoke's 9 March 2023 piece6 covers the same period and the same RedFM post under the framing "'Men need to get a grip' Miriam Mullins gets online abuse from only 'MEN' over new job." Both pieces tie the backlash directly to the named RedFM TikTok post about her hire. The receipt is bounded to the public reaction sequence around the named post; the dossier does not name, identify, or paraphrase individual commenters, and does not adopt any characterisation of the commenters' motives beyond Mullins' own quoted framing.

Archive note: the Sunday World article URL is live and stable as of 25 April 2026, but a direct shell fetch from the build environment returns HTTP 403. The working evidence on file is the dated search-result snippet plus the stable article URL plus the Evoke support piece. A locally captured copy or a Wayback mirror would harden the rung but is not editorially required for the current dossier scope.

28 January 2024 — the DWTS elimination

Ten months after the RedFM hire, on 28 January 2024, the Irish Times4 reported that Mullins had become the second celebrity eliminated from Dancing with the Stars, under the headline "Dancing with the Stars: 'It's devastating' — public votes tearful TikTok star Miriam Mullins off the show." The captured piece reports that she was voted off by the public after a mid-table finish for her movie-week Cha-Cha-Cha, and quotes her saying the elimination was devastating. The receipt is the bounded TV-embarrassment rung — date, position in the elimination order, quoted reaction. The dossier does not extrapolate into a full reality-TV recap or a partner / pairing analysis; the article and the date are what the receipt carries.

2025 — the TikTok Awards Ireland shortlist

A full year after the DWTS elimination, TikTok's own newsroom shortlist page for the 2025 TikTok Awards UK & Ireland5 named Miriam Mullins in the Creator of the Year field. The same page exposes her handle @miriammullins_, which gives the dossier a first-party route to her TikTok identity rather than relying on a secondary profile to attribute the handle. The receipt's editorial use is bounded — it is the awards-era continuity rung that shows the platform scale did not vanish after the 2023-24 RedFM-and-DWTS phase, and it is the platform-owned anchor for the current TikTok-side identity layer. It is not a verdict on the awards themselves, the shortlist composition, or where she finished.

24-25 April 2026 — the live route re-check

The closing rung in the file is the present-tense first-party check1. On 25 April 2026, RedFM's own breakfast show page, breakfast podcast page, and station schedule were all still live, all still anchored on Red FM Breakfast with KC, and the preserved Dancing with the Staff podcast page still tied Mullins directly to the station with the phrase "Red FM's Miriam Mullins." The dossier's present-tense framing is therefore not "she made a one-season DWTS appearance and went home" — it is "the broadcaster crossover documented in 2023 was still attributable to the station in 2026." The live route bundle is lighter than a dedicated presenter-bio page would be; it is enough for the bounded current-state rung the dossier needs.

Coverage gaps and pending material

The dossier ships with explicit gaps, recorded so a later editorial pass knows what's not in the file rather than discovering it the hard way:

What this dossier won't do

Three editorial gates are enforced on every receipt and every line of prose on this page:

  1. No relationship, family, or lifestyle content. The lane is bounded to public work, broadcaster crossover, the backlash documented in named reporting, the DWTS rung, and the awards / platform-continuity markers. Generic influencer-profile material — partner news, day-in-the-life content, brand-collaboration retellings — is out of scope.
  2. No naming or paraphrasing of individual commenters in the backlash receipt. The March 2023 rung covers the named RedFM TikTok post, the public reaction Mullins described, and her own quoted framing. It does not name, identify, or paraphrase any individual commenter, and does not adopt any characterisation of the commenters' motives beyond Mullins' own published wording.
  3. No present-tense RedFM-role inflation. The dossier records the named 2023 Red Hits hire and the 2026 station-page evidence that she is still tied to the station via the preserved Dancing with the Staff podcast page. It does not extrapolate beyond that to current on-air responsibilities or specific present-day slot assignments unless a later first-party station page documents them.

Dancing with the Staff · Breakfast show page · Breakfast podcast · Schedule First-party station route bundle. The preserved Dancing with the Staff podcast page is the direct named identity rung ("Red FM's Miriam Mullins"); the show, podcast and schedule pages supply the present-tense station continuity.

Numbers in the piece — "more than 1.7 million followers across social media," "more than 97 million TikTok likes" — are bounded to the 4 December 2021 capture.

Source Named backlash rung tied to RedFM's TikTok announcement of the Mullins hire. Direct article URL stable as of 25 April 2026; live-shell fetch returned HTTP 403 in the build environment, so working evidence is the dated search-result snippet plus the URL plus the Evoke 9 March 2023 support piece in receipt 6.

  4. Press · DWTS elimination The Irish Times, Dancing with the Stars: 'It's devastating' — public votes tearful TikTok star Miriam Mullins off the show, 28 January 2024. Source TV-embarrassment rung. Reports she was the second celebrity eliminated from the 2024 series after a mid-table finish for the movie-week Cha-Cha-Cha; quotes her direct reaction.

Source TikTok's own Irish shortlist page names Mullins in the Creator of the Year field for the 2025 awards and exposes the handle @miriammullins_. Awards-era continuity rung after the 2023-24 RedFM-and-DWTS phase, plus first-party route anchor for the current TikTok identity layer. Receipt does not adjudicate the awards outcome.
  6. Press · RedFM role launch Goss.ie, Irish TikTok star Miriam Mullins announces exciting career move, 24 February 2023. Source · Evoke support 9 Mar 2023 Dated broadcaster-entry rung. Fixes the show title (Red Hits), the days (Mon-Thu), the slot (7pm-12am), and the start date (13 March 2023). Evoke's 9 March 2023 follow-up independently repeats the same RedFM move and same slot inside its backlash sequence, so the broadcaster-entry claim does not rest on a single article.
