She presented a number of shows abroad. .One I remember was ''The Swan'' . .I also think she did America's top model.. Her name is Amanda Brunker and she was more popular in the states.

Like seriously, **** Boy George. He has still won awards since his conviction. If it was a woman he tied up and traumatised like that he'd be vilified and ruined.

Graham Norton (Walker) is completely Irish, as above poster said. Has a walkway in Bandon named after him.
So too was Wogan. Never played down his heritage. Ask any Irish who lived in the UK during the 70s and 80s and they appreciated the role Wogan played in suppressing Anti-Irish behaviour.
No sure what your narrow view of, being Irish entails.

Soon after Johny Logan won his (1st) Eurovision he was having a drink in the early house and someone asked him for a few bars. Logan smiled - 'well if you insist.' And began singing. A passing bar man roared at him - 'no singing allowed or you'll be put out.'
Johnny resumed drinking his pint quietly.

''Father Ted'' and 'Mrs Brown's boys. . both more popular in the UK than Ireland.

''Father Ted'' has a cult like following.

I had a look at Jedward's following on twitter. . They are not popular anywhere it would appear. .Only got 60+ fans on twitter.

Cranberries . .were hugely popular in the states.

Dave Allen, I'm quite surprised to not see his name here, rose to prominence with the BBC and one of the very best stand up comedy acts. I don't think he got the same airtime with RTE and perhaps it was because of his mocking of the Catholic church, some of the skits being brilliant.

That's funny, I knew a few lads who wrestled in bray with him a few times, going back a while now. Never knew he made to WWE
