Hanging out with his baby god son Oscar, getting a massive lion tattooed on his chest… Ed Sheeran's really been making the most of the three-week break in the middle of his X World tour.

But last night he took to the stage yet again, albeit a smaller one than Wembley or Croke Park. The Thinking Out Loud hitmaker surprised guests at Ronan Keating and Storm Uechtritz's wedding celebrations when he showed up to serenade the newlyweds.

Although Ronan and Storm have yet to post any pictures on social media from their big day, their pal Brian McFadden took to Twitter to reveal what had gone down. "Last night had the best jam ever. @BrianMcFadden @edsheeran @ronanofficial @officialkeith Mikey graham and @shanelynchlife madness," he wrote, before sharing this selfie of himself and Ed.

The singer joined the Boyzone gang (and Brian) on stage for the ultimate pop gathering, but according to one guest the whole thing came as a total surprise. "Ed appeared out of nowhere, everyone was so surprised. He was such a nice guy,” one attendee told Goss.ie.

Ronan also serenaded his new wife from the stage with multiple solo songs, while Irish boyband Lunar entertained guests later in the night.

While the guest list was packed with Ronan's music industry pals, it was his children that took centre stage for his big day. The singer's daughters Missy and Ali were bridesmaids for Storm, while his 17-year-old son Jack was best man.

This marriage will hopefully be second time lucky for Ronan, whose divorce from his wife of 12 years Yvonne was finally made official in March of this year. The singer proposed to Storm just weeks later.

"'We've been together a few years now and knew we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. I felt it was the right time," Ronan told Hello! magazine of his decision to propose.

She's always been a serious hotty, granted, but wowsers has Vogue Williams upped her game in recent months.

The Dublin model and DJ, who sadly announced her separation from husband Brian McFadden in July, has clearly been hitting the gym hard in the midst of her heartbreak. 

And the results of which are certainly impressive.

Over the last two weeks, the 29-year-old has been spotted in a whole load of amazing bikinis: SHEmazing! counts a total of ten different ones, in fact.

Get ready to get inspired…

Just one month ago they hit the headlines when they announced via social media that they would be splitting up, not Vogue Williams is speaking about how difficult things have been since she and Brian McFadden went public with their split.

The Sun has reported that the 29-year old is still living with husband Brian despite the fact the pair are keen to go their separate ways.

She has admitted that while the living arrangements are odd, they are the most convenient for the twosome.

“My family find it strange but we’ve only just broken up and I haven’t found somewhere else to live.”

The model/DJ went on to say that their break-up was not the result of either of them finding someone else, rather it just didn’t work for them.

“He wasn’t with anyone else, I wasn’t with anyone else, it was nothing to do with that. That’s why we find it easier to be friends maybe.”

While Vogue has admitted that she has found their split very stressful, she is doing her best to move on from their failed relationship.

“I didn’t get married to get divorced. I’m not in a great place. I find every day is quite stressful, every day I’m upset, you just have to move forward with life.”

The Sun reports that Vogue is happy to be single for a while and hasn’t thought about on from ex-husband Brian just yet:

“I think I’ll be single for a while, I’m not ready for that. I still miss Brian, it’s not even crossing my mind just yet.”

Vogue and Brian, 35, were married in Florence in September 2012 and as recently as April the pair seemed to be hinting at starting a family together, with Vogue telling the Irish Independent she was “feeling the baby pressure”.

Brian McFadden and Hozier definitely are not two names we ever thought we'd say in the same sentence, but we've been proven wrong.

Earlier today, former Westlife singer Brian shared a hilarious video on Instagram of him trying out his very best Hozier impression, and we have to admit it's not half bad. 

We're not sure if the pair are friends or if they even know each other but we REALLY hope this gets a reaction from the Take Me To Church hitmaker.

Brian's spirits certainly seem to be lifted just weeks after the announcement that he was splitting from his wife Vogue Williams after almost three years of marriage. The pair confirmed their break-up via Twitter earlier this month, saying they hoped to "remain friends."

Meanwhile, 25-year-old Andrew Hozier-Byrne is across the pond having just performed at the Newport Folk Festival near New York. 

 

Had an amazing time at @newportfolkfest this past weekend. It was an absolute joy, thank you

Following the news that she and husband of three years, Brian McFadden, were splitting up, Vogue Williams has finally broken her silence on the issue.

Last week the pair broke the news to the public on Twitter that with “sadness” they had “made the tough decision” to go their separate ways.

The reality TV star and DJ has now spoken briefly about their break-up in her weekly column for the Sunday World.

Vogue wrote that for both she and Brian “this has been a really tough week”. She did however say that “the support we’ve been getting from people online has been amazing.”

She did write that while she didn’t want to say too much on the subject, she does intend on staying in contact with the former Westlife singer.

“I will say that we really do remain friends and will always be in each other’s lives.”

The married in 2012 at a spectacular ceremony in Florence with the photographs being featured in Hello! magazine.

The former Fade Street star, who also has her own popular blog and has been DJing in Ibiza on behalf of Lipsy, wrote about the support she has received from her fans.

“The support we’ve been getting from people online has been amazing,” she wrote, she also said “Seeing everyone’s kind words has really made a difference in this hard time.”

The pair also appear to be relying on the support of their respective families and friends.

Just as recently as April the pair were reportedly talking about starting their own family and last month she revealed in her column that they had bought a house together in Howth.

After news of Brian McFadden's split from Vogue Williams was confirmed on Tuesday, the former Westlife singer has been appearing in the media more than he'd like.

Brian and Vogue both addressed news of their split openly on Twitter, even thanking their fans for messages of support and saying, "It means a lot."

Their up-front approach didn't stop some publications from going down the dramatic route though, and Brian finally hit back on Twitter last night. After seeing an article by OK! magazine in which it was mentioned that bookies had laid down odds of 25/1 for Brian to reunite with his ex Kerry Katona, the singer took to social media to make his views known.

"@OK_Magazine please respect our children and don't print this sort of nonsense," he wrote, with fans soon responding to add their own opinions to the mix.

"So insenstive," wrote one," with another adding, "you tell them Brian."

Reports this week suggested that it was all over for Kerry and her third husband George Kay, who she married last September, after the Atomic Kitten singer got sick of his party boy ways.

Brian and Kerry have two children together, Molly and Lilly-Sue, from their four year marriage.

The couple split in 2006 and nine years on seem to be on friendly terms, with Brian even taking to Twitter on Father's Day to thank George for being a "great man" to Kerry and the kids.

Despite the drama, last night Brian seemed content to relax with his daughters and enjoy a low-key evening:

Very cute.

Less than 48hours ago, Brian McFadden and his model/DJ wife Vogue Williams announced on Twitter that had ended their three-year marriage.

And it looks like we weren’t the only ones who didn’t see it coming: Brian’s former Westlife bandmate, Shane Filan, has now revealed that he he was equally surprised by the announcement.

Shane, 35, said to Now magazine that he was “really shocked” and noted how Brian hadn’t given him any clues of the impending separation.

“I chatted to him a couple of weeks ago about something that was golf related but yeah I’m really shocked.”

Yesterday, Shane was at a Warner Music Group summer drinks party where he admitted he had actually never met Vogue, 29, and that he hasn’t seen Brian in the flesh in a number of years.

He furthermore admitted he wasn't in the loop about Brian's other former flame, Kerry Katona, and her recent relationship woes, and went on to say that he hoped Brian is OK.

Mr Filan added of his new album: “I’ve been working on it for the last four or five months." The Sligo-native explained that it will be more “pop music” compared to his last album.

He didn’t mention anything about any music collaborations, but we can probably rule out any surprise duets with him and Brian.

Yesterday it was reported that Kerry Katona had kicked her third husband, George Kay, out of their family home because of his partying lifestyle.

But now, it looks as if the 35-year-old has been admitted to hospital after he handled the break-up very badly.

The former rugby player, who has previously been detained for mental health reasons, reportedly suffered from an ‘episode’ after the mother of his child threw him out of the house.

Speaking to Mail Online, a source said that “George didn’t take Kerry’s decision well.” They explained how “he bolted off and went out. It all came to a head later at the hotel where he had an episode.”

My Kay was reportedly held overnight in the hospital after police investigated an alleged disturbance in a “budget” hotel.

While Kerry has yet to comment on the allegations, a source previously explained to The Sun her reasoning for kicking him out. 

“George’s party lifestyle doesn’t suit Kerry. He has been going missing regularly and Kerry has said she has had enough.”

The news of their split ironically came on the same day that Kerry's first ex-husband announced his separation from wife of three years, Vogue Wilson.

They very much seemed the perfectly loved-up married couple – but this evening Brian McFadden took to Twitter to say that he and his wife of close-to three years have split. 

Vogue Williams shortly afterwards tweeted her own version of his statement.

"It is with sadness that Vogue and I have made the tough decision to go our separate ways," the message reads.

"We will always care greatly about each other, remain friends and we wish each other all the very best for the future."

Their split is the second time that 35-year-old Mr McFadden has experienced marital breakdown: he and his first wife Kerry Katona were married for two-and-a-half years before breaking up in 2004. They have two children, Molly, 13, and Lilly-Sue, 12, together.

He and Vogue, 29, do not have any children.

The reality TV star and DJ was today seen in Ibiza still proudly wearing her engagement and wedding ring.

The Dubliner looked sensational in a black Lipsy bikini – and certainly there was nothing to suggest the heartache she must have been experiencing. 

Vogue married former Westlife singer Brian in a lavish ceremony held in Florence in September 2012, photographs of which were featured in a glossy Hello! magazine spread.

More recently, Ms Williams has seen her career go from strength-to-strength: she appeared on – and subsequently won – Bear Grylls: Mission Survivor earlier this year.

The former model and Fade Street star is also spending a month in LA this summer filming for an as-yet unannounced show.

With an RTÉ project already in the pipeline for this autumn, she furthermore boasts a weekend radio show on Spin 103.8, has a popular blog in mynameisvogue.com, and right now is DJing in Ibiza on behalf of Lipsy.

As recently as April, Vogue told the Irish Independent that she and Brian were keen to start a family: "When we eventually have kids I want them to go to school in Ireland. It's a nice place to grow up," she revealed. 

She also admitted: "I'm feeling the baby pressure more now. I'll be married three years this September."

And she joked that she and Brian "squabble all the time" over baby names. "I want to give any children we have an equally mad name as the one I was given!"

The pair met in Dublin shortly after he and Australian singer Delta Goodman broke off their engagement – just eight months later, in November 2011, he got down on one knee and proposed to Ms Williams in Sydney.

Brian, who sold millions of records with Westlife, had a short-lived solo career. He subsequently had carved a niche for himself as a reality TV talent show judge.

However, since relocating back to the UK and Ireland from their base in Australia two years ago, he has enjoyed a much more low-key profile. 

Just last month in her Sunday World column, Vogue revealed that she and her husband had bought a house in Howth together, and that they had gotten a dog, a terrier called Winston.

Interestingly, it was widely rumoured today that Kerry Katona's third marriage, to George Kay, had also ended.

It seemed that the once troubled reality TV star had finally found happiness when she married her third husband, former rugby player and bouncer George Kay.

The couple welcomed a daughter, DJ, in April last year and were married in September. 

Kerry Katona would also take to Twitter to enthuse about her beau, with him regularly returning the favour with an equally public declaration of affection.

Indeed, just last month, George, Kerry and Kerry's first husband, Brian McFadden, gushed warmly about one another on the social networking site. 

However, it is now being reported that Ms Katona, 34, has kicked Mr Kay out of the home they share with their daughter, as well as Kerry's four other children from her previous two marriages.

The Sun reports that she has "had enough" of her husband's "partying, going missing and failing to support her and the family". 

A source told the newspaper: "George's party lifestyle doesn't suit Kerry. He has been going missing regularly and Kerry has said she has had enough."

They added: "She says she feels like she is putting her own kids through what she went through when she was younger with her mum and a string of bad men."

In an interview with Closer magazine in May, 34-year-old George admitted: "It's been tough lately. We've been rowing a lot. Marriage isn't what I thought it would be to be honest."

He added: "There have been times I've thought we might not last. In my darkest moments I've wondered if we should even be together."

Despite having two daughters together, he's publicly dismissed their nuptials. 

Indeed, Brian McFadden, 35, has called his short-lived marriage to Kerry Katona, 34, "shambolic," further stating that he had "no idea" what he was doing when they said their vows in early 2002 in Co. Meath.

But the former Westlife singer himself was happy to extend the olive branch today, reaching out to Ms Katona's current and third husband, George Kay.

Wishing him a happy Father's Day, he thanked the 35-year-old former rugby-player for "keeping our family together".

George was quick to respond, telling Brian it was a "joint effort". "The girls are lucky to have 2 good men they can call dad," he added, signing off his message with a kiss.

Ms Katona retweeted both messages, and had earlier in the day declared her own admiration for Mr Kay's parenting skills.

As well as sharing custody of daughters Molly and Lily-Sue with Mr McFadden, Kerry has two children, Heidi and Max, with her second husband Mark Croft. Her fifth child, daughter DJ Rose, whose father is George, was born in April 2014.

A year ago, Vogue Williams, 29, who married Brian in September 2012 in Italy, had seemed dismissive of her predecessor.

She told the Irish Independent that Kerry "really isn't part of our lives. I don't know her. I've never met her. I never will".

However, Ms Williams said in a further interview with the same newspaper earlier this year that her relationship with Kerry was "fine".

"I'm not really one to be looking for an argument or getting all confrontational with anyone anyway – and these days regardless there is no confrontation or argument to have with Kerry," she explained.

Brian McFadden and Kerry Katona’s daughters have been involved in a serious car-crash, it has been reported this morning.

Mollie, 13, and 12-year old Lilly-Sue were travelling in the vehicle with their half-siblings Heidi, eight, and Max, seven, whose father is taxi-driver Mark Croft.

Kerry has a fifth child, a one-year old daughter named DJ Rose, with her third husband, George Kay, though the toddler was not in the car at the time of the accident.

Understandably, the reality TV star and former pop-singer is said to have been left shaken and distressed.

A source told The Sun today: “Kerry is distraught and feels cursed. Every time her life appears to be running smoothly, something like this happens.

Her daughter Heidi was also in the car at the time of the accident

 

"The front of the car is smashed in and they could all have been seriously injured. It was traumatic.”

The children were reportedly being driven by their nanny when their car was hit by another vehicle.

Although group attended A&E after the incident as a precaution, thankfully none of the five passengers were seriously hurt.

Ms Katona, 34, and Brian McFadden, 35, have yet to comment or confirm that the accident took place, however, fans have been taking to Twitter to support Kerry.

“Thoughts & prayers with ye all xxx,” said one, while another offered: “hey. Hope ur all ok. X.”
