Bad Sisters star Sharon Horgan confirms relationship with co-star and opens up on dating younger man for first time
IRISH star Sharon Horgan has confirmed her relationship with her Bad Sisters co-star. The Dublin native is usually tight-lipped about her personal affairs but has finally opened up about her love life. 2 Sharon Horgan has spilled the beans on her relationship Credit: Splash News 2 Sharon is rumoured to be dating her Bad Sisters co-star Barry Ward Credit: Deirdre Brennan Sharon, 55, spoke about her relationship on the latest episode of Jesse Tyler Ferguson's podcast Dinner's on Me. And while she didn't mention her partner's name, it's believed to be Barry Ward, 44. Sharon stars as leading lady Eva Garvey in Bad Sisters while Barry plays Detective Inspector Fergal Loftus. The pair both live in London. While speaking on the podcast, Jesse brought up the decade age difference between himself and his husband Justin Mikita, which prompted Sharon to spill the beans. The mum-of-two said: "I've got a younger partner as well. Well, it's actually nine years. "I said 10 years for a while, and it freaked me out too much. It is nine years. "I think initially I was like, 'Oh, that's exotic, being 10 years older'. I sort of got off on it. "And then I was like, 'Oh, no, that's not good'." Sharon then revealed that they met while working on a film and "became friendly". BBC One viewers all say the same thing about Michael Sheen and Sharon Horgan as they star in Best Interests That movie is rumoured to be the 2020 film Dating Amber, a project in which they play a married couple. Sharon added laughing: "And then a good few years later – this wasn't on purpose, by the way – I cast him in Bad Sisters.' When Jesse asked if the "relationship is public", she replied: "I've never talked about it before. 'SURPRISING' "It was unexpected. It's different when you're my age because... being single again at my age is kind of a whole thing. "And it just feels like so much fun just to meet someone who you can have a laugh with and connect with. It's surprising." The producer was previously married to businessman Jeremy Rainbird between 2005 and 2019. The former couple have two daughters together; Sadhbh, 20, and Amer, 16. Sharon also previously dated Madchester star Tim Burgess

Kneecap apologise to fans as Vienna concert cancelled due to 'safety concerns'
The rap trio have said there is a smear campaign against them because of their support for Palestine. Belfast rap trio Kneecap have apologised to fans after their show in Vienna was cancelled "due to acute safety concerns". It comes after the group were banned from entering Hungary in July ahead of their scheduled performance at Sziget Festival on August 11. The group, known for their provocative lyrics and championing of the Irish language, have had several shows cancelled in recent months, including TRNSMT festival in Glasgow and at the Eden Project in Cornwall. They have said there is a smear campaign against them because of their support for Palestine and criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza. Kneecap News in 90 Seconds - Aug 8th In a social media post on Friday the group said: "Our planned show in Vienna on September 1st is cancelled." The social media post added: "To the 3500 people we were looking forward to seeing at our first headline show in Vienna, we are sorry: this is out of our hands. "All tickets will be refunded. "Yet again, it is clear that this is political distraction and a further attempt to silence those who call out genocide against the Palestinian people. "But as always, we will fight on for what is right." Kneecap at Glastonbury. Photo: PA A note on the venues website said: "Racoon Live Entertainment GmbH hereby cancels the planned Kneecap show on September 1, 2025, at the Gasometer Vienna due to acute safety concerns raised by the responsible authorities." Kneecap, comprised of Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, Naoise Ó Cairealláin and JJ Ó Dochartaigh, were formed in Belfast and released their first single in 2017. They hit headlines in April when footage emerged that appeared to show a band member saying "Kill your local MP" at one gig and and "Up Hamas, up Hezbollah" at another. In May, Ó hAnnaidh, who performs under the name Mo Chara, was charged with a terrorism offence relating to allegedly displaying a flag in support of Hezbollah at a London gig in November 2024. Ó hAnnaidh and his bandmates were cheered by hundreds of supporters when they arrived at Westminster Magistrates' Court on June 18. Musicians including Nadine Shah and Gurriers have said they will attend court to support the group when Ó hAnnaidh returns on August 20. Kneecap have apologised to the families of murdered MPs and said they have "never supported" Hamas or Hezbollah, which are banned in the UK. They were also investigated over their set at Glastonbury Festival in June, but Avon and Somerset Police said they would be taking no further action in July.
