Angular controller being run twice [solved]

Ok figured it out with some guidance from Stewie in the comments.

My app has routing, and it was navigating to MyController like so:


$routeProvider.when('/',
      { templateUrl: 'pages/home.html',
        controller: MyController });

$routeProvider.when('/',

{ templateUrl: 'pages/home.html',

controller: MyController });

But I also had this in home.html:


<div data-ng-controller="MyController">

Which was instructing AngularJS to digest my controller twice. To solve it I simply removed the data-ng-controller from my HTML.

Obviously really when I think about it!
