Doyle grew up in the south Dublin suburb of Stillorgan.

After graduation, Doyle worked on local radio with BBC Radio Suffolk based in Ipswich, before moving on to ITV to present the children's show Disney Club In 1994, having been head hunted following a chance meeting with a producer from the show at a visit to Alton Towers.
