TV Presenter Eric Roberts has won a prestigious title in the 2026 Royal Television Society (RTS) Ireland Awards.
The Downings man won the Breakthrough Talent Award, one of two special awards on the night.
This award is decided by the RTS ROI Committee and recognises new and emerging professional excellence in the role of presenter, journalist, show host, interviewer, commentator or cast member.
Eric has ticked all the boxes in his meteoric rise in the media world. From TikTokker to Ireland AM presenter, his hard work is paying off in dividends.
His career has taken him to glittering (and sequin-filled) heights, including reaching the final of Dancing with the Stars Ireland this year.
Eric had a dual role at the glamorous RTS awards last night, as he was also a presenter of the Factual Series / Sraith FhÃorasach award, which went to  Irish America & The IRA – Up and Away Media.
The 2026 Royal Television Society (RTS) Ireland Awards were held in the Dublin Royal Convention Centre with 400 guests in attendance from across Ireland’s television industry.
