The renowned TV judge made herself at home in Dublin over the weekend attending Riverdance in the Gaiety Theatre on Saturday – with Emma admitting she thought it was a “lookalike” at first in the crowd.

“As soon as we saw her it was obvious it was actually her. After the show she came in to the green room and complimented us all and posed for a picture on stage – it was so nice.
“I was quite surprised because having only ever seen her on TV she seems quite mean and a bit scary,” she added..
Although the dancer was surprised by the Connecticut natives friendly demeanour, she revealed she was still too afraid to ask the formidable star why she was in Ireland.
“She never mentioned why she was here and, to be honest, I didn’t ask as I was too scared,” Emma joked to the Herald.
