Last night the crowds in Cork were treated to an amazing performance from Ellie Goulding at the Marquee.

And shortly afterwards, a local Garda couldn’t believe he was the lucky one who got to get Ellie into a pair of handcuffs.

 

Shiiiiit….

After a most eventful night in Cork, the Starry Eyed singer took to Instagram to document her run-in with one of Ireland’s finest.

Always endeavouring to keep things of the highest professional standard, the official Garda Twitter account checked in to make sure Ellie was treated well.

Clearly the singer was doing just fine as she later shared a photograph from her room at the five star Haymarket Hotel (ooo, fancy).

Obviously delighted with her show, and not at all phased by her brush with the law, Ellie shared a photograph of her team before the gig and couldn’t stop talking about what a great time she was having.

 

Cork I loved that so much… THANK YOU! here's us all nervous pre show, me and my beautiful team!

Ellie has played here on numerous occasions and this time she even chose to debut her new pink hair while visiting.

We’re wondering though, what would Ellie do to get herself arrested? Or even better, how would she have gotten herself out of trouble?

Offering up a free snack box can apparently do wonders when in tricky situations. Or she probably just crooned a sweet little tune and strutted off into the night.

Maybe someday we’ll be enlightened by the lucky Garda himself, it’s sure to be a good one.
