Brian Kennedy gets eyeful at TV presenter Kathryn Thomas' wedding after dress malfunction
Brian Kennedy got more than he bargained for when he sang for Kathryn Thomas at her wedding – when he got an eyeful after her dress fell apart.
Kathryn opens up today about how a horrible dress malfunction led to every woman's worst nightmare of her wedding day almost being ruined.
'Brian saw more of me on my wedding day than my husband did,' quipped Kathryn to the Sunday World.
The Q102 presenter married Padraig McLoughlin at Kilkea Castle in August 2019, where she wore a bespoke dress.
Wedding memories
'The rain just started lashing down as I was coming down the garden and myself and my dad had to run for it and then I reckon what I did, was step on the end of the dress,' recalls Kathryn.
'So, I think probably what I did was trip over the end of the dress, or stood on the end of the dress, and literally pulled the zip.'
When Kathryn reached the top of the marquee where she was due to exchange vows she realised something was seriously up.
'I was just sitting there, didn't really notice, and then I realised the zip was gone. I went 'Ohhhhh, I need to do something here' because in about five minutes I had to stand up and repeat our vows in front of the whole church,' she recollects.

'I said 'If I stand up now, literally I think the dress will be around me ankles', so I managed to get a blanket and put that around me.'
Brian, who's starring as Oscar Wilde in a nationwide run of the Phil Lynott play Moonlight, said Kathryn looked incredible.
'Of course then the dress started to come apart. She shouldn't have been running in it in the first place, like who runs in a wedding dress, nobody.
'It started to come apart, thank God there were little blankets around the marquee, so I quickly grabbed one of those and made sure, like her top was coming off, things were coming off.'
Brian Kennedy
'My first thought was cover the poor girl up as she didn't have any underwear on.
'My God what an eyeful, what a beautiful woman but even the beauty of Kathryn Thomas could not turn me straight, I'm very sorry!'
Kathryn asked her childminder to bring her daughter's blanket up to cover her up.
Brian did similar with another blanket belonging to her brother's kid.
'So Brian, in true heroic style, so nobody would notice, put the blanket around his shoulders as in 'ohhh, it may be chilly up at this end of the tent even if you're not feeling it at your end',' she says.

Ryan Tubridy shares holiday snaps from family trip to Japan
Ex-RTE star Ryan Tubridy has shared a look inside his recent trip to Japan with daughters Ella and Julia. The Virgin Radio and Q102 presenter visited Osaka, Hiroshima, Kyoto and Tokyo earlier this summer, describing it as an "unforgettable" holiday. Ryan recently wrote in his Irish Mail on Sunday column: "Some time ago, I agreed with my daughters that someday in the future, the three of us would visit Japan. "We have been so curious about the country and its customs, art and people that we had built a great urge between us to go and see it for ourselves. "Between the jigs and the reels, the timings never worked but that changed a couple of weeks ago when we boarded a plane for Abu Dhabi and then on to Osaka for what turned out to be the trip of a lifetime. "I won't go into great detail as it was a wonderfully personal experience but I will tell you that it was like being beamed down from a spaceship onto the set of a Wes Anderson film. It's a uniformly beautiful, clean, mannerly, law-abiding place that can surprise you with every corner turned." Ryan, Ella and Julia visited four cities in Japan and the Dubliner said he became "obsessed" with Japan's bullet train.

"We went on to eat at a local restaurant where the girls encouraged me to try the chopsticks, noodles and dumplings, which I did and I'm a changed man! "Post-dinner merriment found us all in the mood to sample the local national sport that is karaoke, which was an awful lot of fun. "Between us, we improved the back catalogue of Frank Sinatra, Bonnie Tyler, Bob Dylan, The Pogues and some Japanese icons. It was that kind of evening."

Assault case against Scottish mobster and Kinahan ally Robert Kelbie dropped
He was due to go on trial on two counts An assault case against Scottish mobster and friend of Daniel Kinahan, Robert Kelbie, has been dropped, the Sunday World has learned. The 41-year-old was due to go on trial, accused of attacking Malcom Gemmill, by punching him in the head at the Newbridge Inn pub near Edinburgh between August 1 and 30, 2021. He was also accused of 'acting in an aggressive manner' towards Mr Gemmill and another person, Lacey Moffat, in Tranent, East Lothian in June 2022. Appearing in Edinburgh Sheriff Court, last February, Kelbie pleaded not guilty to both charges. His co-accused, Lisa Eardley, of South Gyle, Edinburgh, is alleged to have knowingly or recklessly procured medical information relating to Mr Gemmill without consent and disclosing the information to another at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary on June 30, 2022. She did not appear at the hearing, but entered a plea of not guilty. The pair were due to go on trial last November; however, it did not go ahead. The case against Kelbie has been dropped completely, while Eardley is due to go on trial at a rescheduled date of October 27th 2025. Robert Kelbie, who was recently snapped backstage at an Oasis gig with singer Noel Gallagher, is a boxing promoter who previously worked for Daniel Kinahan's now-defunct company MTK. The Scotsman, who previously admitted mortgage fraud in 2012, is well-known to Scottish police and has survived three assassination attempts. In July 2023, Tyson Fury was spotted out and about with Kelbie on a whistlestop trip to Edinburgh, where they popped into a plush cocktail bar while the fighter posed for pictures with tour bus staff. Fury and Kelbie (far right) Fraudster, Kelbie, who has links to the Lyons crime clan, became pals with Tyson, who has no links to criminality, after allegedly landing a job working with him three years ago. He's posted numerous snaps on social media alongside stars such as Mike Tyson, Cristiano Ronaldo, Sir Alex Ferguson and Ronnie O'Sullivan. Kelbie claimed to have served as director of talent for MTK Global, the boxing promotions firm linked to mobster Kinahan, and was a key player in setting up a now-defunct MTK gym in Fuerteventura. MTK Global was put out of business after US cops put a $5 million bounty on founder Kinahan's head in 2022. The previous year Kelbie was with Fury when he kicked out at a taxi in an incident caught on camera while they were on holiday in the south of France. Kelbie was seen leaning through the passenger's side window while Fury tried to open the door before it takes off without them. He later uploaded pictures to his Instagram in the resort town that included footage of the boxer and his dad with pints of Stella at a roadside bar. Kelbie, who has reinvented himself as a boxing promoter, is a sworn enemy of jailed cocaine kingpin Mark Richardson (38) whose associates include members of Glasgow's Daniel Clan, MailOnline reports. Robert Kelbie News in 90 Seconds - July 23rd Gangsters working for Richardson are believed to have ripped off Dubai-based Ross 'Miami' McGill with £500,000 of fake cash for a cocaine shipment. The Daniel Clan's deadly rivals, the Lyons gang have reportedly been giving McGill, a former Rangers football ultras 'capo', information on the Edinburgh-based gangsters as he conducted his campaign of revenge. He is alleged to have ordered knife attacks, shootings and firebombing that sparked a tit-for-tat gangland clash. Back in 2010, Kelbie was shot in the back outside a Bannatyne's Health Club in Edinburgh. In 2013, a hail of bullets was fired at the hood's home at Ratho Station, Edinburgh which he fled 2016.
