Thanks Dara... Really debated saying it tonight but I'm glad I did
Well done

Thanks everyone for your kindness it means a lot, honestly x
Just for those asking, it is a photoshop. No such article ever appeared in The Mirror or online. Nothing to do with them. Just someone with far too much time on their hands to disrupt people’s lives !
Thanks again x

Vindicated to see this in todays Irish Sun ... though you’d need a magnifying glass to read it.
This is the papers apology to me for a completely misleading headline on its front page Oct 18th 2018.
Just because something is front page news does NOT mean it’s correct!

So much to do and see and be out there. Taking time in stillness outside the city. Allows a certain clarity. Reminds me I'm still discovering who I am, where I am and who I want to be. Don't be pigeon holed. Keep changing x

Two years ago today was a very special day. Saw the legendary Sir Billy Connolly live and was really honoured to spend some time with him afterwards. As expected he was funny, interesting, curious and just so fucking loveable.

Hundreds of thousands watched Blind Date! For under 45s we beat RTE1 and RTE2 combined!
It's a silly, cheeky, cringey Sunday bit of craic!
Blind Date's opening episode proves to be a ratings winner for TV3

TW: suicide
This has been sent to family and friends of mine today. This is a fake that’s doing the rounds
The sick part of this is I know many people who have taken their own lives. It’s beyond tragic and is a deep sadness that has visited far too many in Ireland

Much love to the very important women in my life! Above all my Mam, my sister and my late Nana (dead, not tardy) All formidable people. Defiant, bright, funny, kind and so very, very strong.

I know I’m not perfect. I know I’m flawed, like us all. I have listened to the criticisms since 2017. I continue to work on being the kindest and best version of myself I can be. Still, Ive received all kinds of abuse online and I take it.
But not this.

This day four years ago, Frankie Howerd’s birth date, was my first ever

Great memories. There were many more shows after over the years but this one will always be special.
Thank you to all who shared that night with me and helped it happen!

Grossly unjust and unfair.
Obscenely cruel.
I can’t imagine the grief of Lyra’s partner, family, friends and community.
A tragedy for them and all of Ireland.

If you live in Tallaght or nearby, these people are doing some incredible work. Wonderful community spirit. They’ve been quietly giving out over 50 food hampers a month to families in hard times. Spent Christmas Day with them serving dinners. If you can, please help them out x

It’s Barry Cryers 84th birthday. A brilliant mind who wrote for Dave Allen, Tommy Cooper, Les Dawson, The Two Ronnies, Morecambe and Wise and many more including Frankie Howerd - whose Up, Pompeii debuted on this day in 1970!
Met Barry once. Gent. Inspiring man & comic genius.
