"So he flies into Dublin tomorrow. We're going to get to spend time then. Three years. Where's the time gone? It's actually, it's terrifying."
However, Bonnie will be marking the happy occasion with a family holiday.
Bonnie's 2FM host sister Lottie, who

Bonnie added: "We're going to record the podcast. We're going to drink loads of spritzes.
Lottie joked: "We'll be locked with like Italian grannies speaking in broken English. It'll be brilliant."
Bonnie Ryan reveals heartbreaking final chat with radio icon dad
Bonnie replied: "I'm going to throw my hat in the ring and see if I can speak any Italian. So it's going to be great."
The influencer has spoke about her life with her hubby in New York City and said she "loves it".
She said: "I'm living in New York so I flew in yesterday and I'm just kind of running on nothing. But it's all exciting.
"I love it. It's like New York just is New York. It's exactly what you think it's going to be. It's busy. It's lights, camera, action. Everyone's running around like headless chickens.
"It's an absolute grind. Everyone's working nonstop and also out all the time. It's exactly what you think New York is going to be."
'ADVENTURE'
Lottie said that she's "impressed" as she previously tried to live in the Big Apple but "only lasted six months".
Bonnie added: "I love it but Dublin's always home though. The minute I land in Dublin I'm like…"
And Lottie was quick to interject and shouted out: "She's not settling in New York. She's not f***ing settling in New York, if that's what you're getting at."
Bonnie replied: "I'll be back. Hence why I literally jump on a plane and I'm back all the time.
"But for right now it's just a bit of an adventure. Do it when I can, why not?"
And while Bonnie loves life in the city that never sleeps, she does find it tough being away from her family.
STAR'S GRIEF
It was the 15th anniversary of her
beloved dad
passing this year on on April 30 2010
.
Speaking about the day, Lottie said: "I think you find that hard."
Bonnie responded: "Yeah I do find stuff like that hard. Obviously I wish I could just click my fingers and I could be home for things like that.
"But in saying that as well, even with the pod, we've been talking more than we probably would talk if I lived in Ireland.
"It's great to FaceTime, it's great to audio note. Those things help so much."
Lottie added: "Big events are s***."
Bonnie replied: "Yeah that is. At the end of the day, obviously the big events that you miss are going to be hard.
"But then I come back and we have great craic."

Noel Gallagher spotted socialising in Maynooth pub ahead of Oasis Croke Park gigs
He was spotted socialising this evening in Brady's Clockhouse pub in Maynooth, Co Kildare. Dressed in black and sporting shades, the 58-year-old was swamped by well-wishers as he was escorted into the bar by bodyguards. He later sat at a table with a number of associates, but it's unclear if he had any pints or just stuck to water or soft drinks in the lead up to the band's two gigs this weekend. Noel is staying at the five star Carton House hotel, which is located on the outskirts of Maynooth. Notable guests down through the years at that luxury hotel have included Queen Victoria, Princess Grace and Prince Rainier of Monaco, Julie Andrews, Mick Jagger, Lana Del Rey, Peter Sellers and Marianne Faithfull. Noel flew into Dublin this afternoon, while Liam is expected in the capital tomorrow morning. The Oasis singer is tipped to be staying at the five star Powerscourt Hotel (formerly the Ritz Carlton) in Co Wicklow. Other members of the band flew into Ireland on Wednesday. Rhythm guitarist Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs and drummer Joey Waronker went for a swim at Killiney beach yesterday. The guitarist has re-joined Oasis alongside the Gallagher brothers and members Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Joey Waronker for their reunion tour, which continues in Dublin this weekend. It comes as the first images of the stage set-up in Croke Park emerged yesterday. Learn more The group have so far performed 15 nights around England, Wales and Scotland and are currently in Ireland enjoying a four-day gap between their last show of a three-night stopover in Edinburgh and Saturday's Croke Park gig. After their Dublin shows, the band is setting off to Canada, US, and Mexico, before playing at Wembley Stadium in London again on September 27 and 28. They will later head off to Asia, Australia and South America, with the last stop of their Oasis Live '25 tour in Sao Paulo in Brazil on November 22 and 23. After a 16-year hiatus, the Gallagher brothers announced last August they would perform together for the first time since the band's split in 2009. After almost a year-long wait for Irish fans, Oasis will bring their highly anticipated Live 25 tour to Croke Park for two sold-out nights on Saturday and Sunday, August 16 and 17, in front of 160,000 fans. This will be their first gig in Ireland since 2009, when the rock band performed in Slane Castle.

Noel Gallagher spotted greeting fans in Maynooth ahead of Oasis Dublin gigs
Noel Gallagher has been spotted in Maynooth ahead of Oasis's two sold out gigs in Croke Park this weekend. The elder of the two Gallagher brothers was pictured conversing and posing for pictures with fans outside Brady's in Maynooth on Friday evening, prompting some fans to speculate that the Manchester signer/songwriter is staying at Carton House. Meanwhile, his bandmates, fellow guitarist Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs and drummer Joey Waronker, took to the waters off the Dublin coast on their day off before the group's hotly-anticipated gigs this weekend. The 59-year-old guitarist shared a snap of the pair swimming in Killiney on his social media accounts on Friday afternoon, captioning the picture: "When in Rome and all that". A founding member of the band, Bonehead has been in the country since Wednesday. Like the Gallagher brothers, he has Irish roots and visits here frequently. Per the NME, Arthurs is, according to Noel Gallagher, the man most responsible for the group's reunion tour. 'On guitar, if it wasn't for him, none of this would have happened," Gallagher told the magazine. Oasis's gigs this Saturday, August 16, and Sunday, August 17 will be their first on Irish soil in 17 years. The band are expected to begin their set at Croke Park at around 8.15pm on Saturday night. Support on the night comes from The Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft, and Liverpool rockers Cast.

First Gallagher sighting in Ireland as Noel spotted in pub as Oasis fans descend on Dublin for historic Croke Park gigs
OASIS fans have been jetting in from HALF THE WORLD AWAY today ahead of the band's two monster concerts at Croke Park while Noel Gallagher was spotted hanging out at an Irish boozer. The iconic musician made his first public appearance ahead of the historic double gig at GAA HQ by stopping into a pub in Kildare. 8 Noel Gallagher was spotted in Brady's Clockhouse pub in Maynooth 8 It is the first sighting of Noel in Ireland ahead of the band's Croke Park gigs 8 Oasis fans made sure to get their hands on band merch 8 Brothers Sam and Joe Stevenson from Yorkshire are over for the shows The singer-songwriter, 58, was all smiles as he enjoyed some Irish hospitality at Brady's Clockhouse pub in Maynooth. And he ensured to stay hydrated in the Irish heat as he enjoyed a quiet Guinness with pals. But as word got around that Gallagher was in town, crowds gathered outside the venue and Noel left shortly after, waving to supporters as he made his exit. Anticipation for the comeback gigs is electric - and while Some Might Say the cost of tickets was sky-high, fans all agreed it was worth it for the chance to see their favourite band here. Lana Caperton, from Dallas, Texas revealed how she became hooked on the band after seeing the 2016 Oasis documentary Supersonic. Lana told The Irish Sun: 'I loved it but I was so bummed that I would never be able to experience Oasis live. The next thing I hear, Liam and Noel had buried the hatchet and were back together and doing a European tour. I decided I had to buy a ticket straight away.' The determined Texan ended up shelling out €600 for her ticket to Croke Park tomorrow due to dynamic pricing, but bagged a bargain on an Airbnb in the capital. Lana explained: 'When I booked it, the guy who rented it out had no idea about the Oasis concert so could have made a lot more money than I'm paying. 'I feel so lucky because I have never been to Dublin before and I'm really enjoying it. 'The architecture, the old bars, the city and the great weather because people are telling me I brought the good weather with me.' Celtic hero Neil Lennon spotted singing and dancing to Oasis song at Murrayfield gig Swedish fans Tea Graaberg, Klara Varga, Ida Wik and Helda Sedman all ended up in Dublin after they landed near the top of a Ticketmaster queue when the shows first went on sale. Klara said: 'Oasis aren't playing in Sweden so we came to see them in Dublin. 'We were worried they (Liam and Noel) would have another row and they wouldn't make it this far but delighted that they have.' All born in 2005, the four girls believe seeing Oasis live was a 'once in a lifetime thing'. Tea said: 'I don't think this is going to happen again so we wanted to be here to see it.' While they admit tickets to the concerts at Croker are expensive, the canny Swedes say they avoided sky-high prices in Dublin hotels by staying in a hostel and buying grub in supermarkets. Klara admitted: 'The restaurants are very expensive. We're students and we don't have much money but we are loving Dublin.' Zacharias Skold, Alex Wall and Johnny Norrena were also visiting from Sweden, and buying up Oasis merch at the pop-up shop in St Stephen's Green. 8 Noel waved to fans as he left the boozer 8 The stage being constructed ahead of the Croke Park gigs Johnny told us: 'I've been listening to sixties music since I was 13, first The Kinks and The Who, then The Jam, so getting into Oasis was a natural progression and a gateway to all other Britpop music.' While staying in an Airbnb, none of the four felt Dublin was overly expensive. 'FANTASTIC CITY' Alex said: 'We're from Stockholm which can be pretty expensive. The Guinness is cheaper over here and we are really enjoying the architecture of Dublin. It's a fantastic city.' American couple Angelo Santa Lucia and Christy Sickle from Miami, Florida revealed how Dublin had been their 'first choice' to catch Oasis live after they honeymooned here and in Iceland last year. Angelo told us: 'I think we paid $400 for standing tickets. We booked our hotel the same day. Dublin is not expensive compared to Miami!' The couple admitted that Oasis 'reminded them of being young' but the songwriting was timeless. 'PRICEY BUT WORTH IT' Good pals Olivia Gibb and Alex Dean from Philadelphia were also staying in a local Airbnb and looking forward to seeing Oasis for the first time. Alex said: 'I really love the boys. I have Irish ancestors and I've been to Ireland before. Sure Dublin is pricey but it's worth it.' Over at Croke Park, local resident Michael Taft who lives on Foster Terrace close to the Cusack Stand said he was looking forward to the gigs. 'GREAT EVENT' Michael told us: 'I think the Oasis shows are a great event. Just like a match day. Croke Park are very good at cleaning up afterwards. 'For me nothing beats a warm night sitting out in your back garden, listening to great music for free. 'You actually hear it better in my garden because I don't have to listen to people singing along like you do in the stadium.' IRISH TRIBUTE ACT CALLS FOR SETLIST SHUFFLE THE 'Noel Gallagher' of a leading Irish Oasis tribute act has called for the rock 'n' roll stars to do a 'shakermaker' on their setlist for Croke Park this weekend. Ballyfermot man Paul McKeever, who plays lead guitar in Oasis tribute band Live Forever, says his outfit regularly mix up their hits and Oasis should do the same after playing identical setlists at their comeback shows in the UK. Paul told The Irish Sun: 'No mistake, the concerts will be amazing. But if there was one thing I would say to Liam and Noel is switch the songs around. 'You can take your phone out and see what song Oasis are going to play next. We find that if we put Supersonic later in the set, it totally changes the dynamic of the set. 'That keeps it fresh for us. I'm also amazed they're not playing She's Electric in this set and Stop Crying Your Eyes Out as that's one of the biggest songs of the night for us.' With Irish tribute Live Forever playing Whelans tomorrow afternoon from 2pm to 4pm, Paul will be jumping in a cab straight after to see the real Oasis in Croke Park. Paul said: 'I paid €600 for a ticket on the pitch, a lot more money than I was hoping for, but I couldn't not go and see the real Oasis in action. 'It's half a homage, half an Oasis tax which I'm happy to pay. Because Oasis don't use any backing tracks. It's all live. They're the best band in the world.' Meanwhile the band prepared for their Irish homecoming today by playing a blistering soundcheck in the home of the GAA. Diehards near Croker were thrilled when anthem Cigarettes and Alcohol was belted out at 4pm. And band members have been enjoying the sights ahead of their two-night run at Croke Park. Oasis guitarists Paul Arthurs, also known as Bonehead, Gem Archer and drummer Joey Waronker, shared photos on social media of themselves swimming in the sea and hanging out on the beach. In a post on X, Bonehead posted a picture with Joey taking a dip in the Irish Sea, which was captioned 'Yes Dublin'. On Instagram, the musician shared some more photos, including one of the P 8 Oasis fans have come from far and wide for a chance to see the band live
