Karen Koster has one wish for Christmas and heading into 2026, that mums and no doubt the rest of us can relate to.<\/p>\n

Chatting to Ray Foley,<\/a> the host who shares children Finn, JJ, and Eve with her other half, John McGuire, let rip about something that irks her to her very core on the airways.<\/p>\n

Karen did not hold back about her complaint and even stated she wouldn’t let her children go on a play date with the family responsible if this happened. <\/p>\n

‘Not putting a picture in your profile pic on WhatsApp,’ she told Ray. ‘We need to call out all the sociopaths who aren’t putting pictures [in their profile] that have the blank profile pic, guys, come on, let’s all go into 2026 with pictures.’<\/p>\n

Karen also got very real about the types of pictures she hates seeing as profile options on the messaging app.<\/p>\n

Karen said: ‘I don’t want landscapes, I don’t want sunsets, I don’t want pictures of your dog.<\/p>\n

‘I want to see your face so that if you’re in a class WhatsApp group with me, I can identify you. Don’t be asking me and my kid on a play date [with no profile pic], let me see your face, mom.<\/p>\n

‘I need to see who I’m communicating with. I need those blue ticks on, and I want that picture right there.’ <\/p>\n

Karen reshared a clip of the interview and declared that moms using profile pics of themselves was ‘my Christmas wish.’<\/p>\n

That wish comes after she recently spoke of how she stepped back from presenting<\/a> to spend more quality time with her family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Karen Koster has one wish for Christmas and heading into 2026, that mums and no doubt the rest…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":164861,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[321,93,61,60],"class_list":["post-164860","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164860","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=164860"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164860\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/164861"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=164860"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=164860"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=164860"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
