Kerry woman Jessie Buckley has gone from singing for Andrew Lloyd Webber on I’d Do Anything to taking starring roles in huge television series including Taboo opposite Tom Hardy and the lead role in the BBC’s current adaptation of The Woman in White.
She joins Ryan on Friday night to chat about catching the acting bug; her new movie Beast; starring alongside Renée Zellweger in the upcoming Judy Garland biopic and why she might have left home for the bright lights but her heart is always in Kerry.
Debbie McGee dazzled on the dancefloor reaching the final of Strictly Come Dancing at 59 years old.
