Your Irish Sun played matchmaker at Miss Ireland last night - to
help former Boyzone heartthrobs Keih Duffy and Ronan Keating kiss
and make up.
The pair have famously been at logger heads over the acrimonius
end of the pop act. They fell out when the going got tough but -
as our exclusive
photos show - Ronan and Keith are big pals again. We asked Keith
to pose for a hug with his old mate - and he said: "Sure thats no
problem."
Keith, who now plays bad boy Ciaran in Coronation Street, told the
Irish Sun: "We said hello when he came in. I'll pose for a picture
with Ronan any time."
Ronan added: "I'd really like to have a chat with Keith and clear
the air." There was genuine delight on their faces as they laid
their grudges to rest.
And rumours of a row between Ronan and his old manager Louis Walsh
were also quashed last night.
Louis and Ronan hugged each other like long-lost friends as Ronan's
glamorous wife Yvonne looked on. Louis declared: "Look, I told you
that we were still talking!"
Celebrity judges at the event were pop guru, Louis, Westlife's
Kian Egan, Ronan's wife Yvonne and model Vivienne Connolly.
