"Good question," said Danny, who is also a dad to daughters Dani and Sunnie Dyer.
"I'm very proud of my roots, but do I want to be living in an environment where, especially at the moment where there's helicopters going over my house all the time and sirens all the time, a lot of crime? Of course you don't.

The Chase's Darragh Ennis challenges Harry Potter fans to ace 'impossible' quiz
Think you're a wizard at Harry Potter trivia? The Chase's very own Darragh Ennis, aka The Menace, has conjured up a quiz to put your fandom to the ultimate test. When he's not on ITV stumping contestants with his encyclopaedic knowledge, The Menace is dishing out challenges on TikTok for muggles and wizards alike. Recently, Dublin-native Darragh whipped up a batch of fiendishly difficult Harry Potter questions, claiming they'd be "impossible" to nail for all but the most devoted fans. Darragh's latest TikTok teaser throws down the gauntlet with five Potter-centric posers, each more bewitching than the last. He's thrown down the gauntlet, asserting that "most" won't crack all five, while allowing that hardcore "mega-fans" might just flaunt their magical prowess by smashing the challenge, reports the Mirror. The five questions Darragh posed are:. For the first question, Darragh said won't be accepting vague answers; he expects both the street name and house number for full marks He even slipped in a clue for the fourth question, reminding us that A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration pops up on Harry's first-year book list, something he would've snagged during his Diagon Alley spree with Hagrid. Think you've sussed out all five brain-teasers? Hold on if you're still mulling them over, because we're about to reveal the answers. Revealing the solutions in his latest video, Darragh shared: The Chase star highlighted that figuring out Emeric Switch as the correct response for the book author question was notably "tough" and tipped his hat to those who got it right. He further explained that Professor Snape's non-Hogwarts abode is on Spinners End, which he described as a particularly obscure detail. The reactions to the quiz were mixed among viewers, with some flexing their trivia muscles, claiming the challenge was "so easy", while others admitted defeat, finding themselves flummoxed by the trickier queries. One viewer boasted: "I got 4/5. Who remembers the authors of random textbooks?" Meanwhile, another proud Potterhead revealed: "Every time I reread the books, I make sure I know who wrote every one of Harry's set books, just in case they come up in trivia, and it finally did!".

Before heading into the villa, Megan boasted 10.8k followers on Instagram and 22.1k on TikTok, with the Dubliner previously likening herself to a 'modern day Bridget Jones.' Taking to TikTok, Megan said 'Can I hold a man down? Don't be silly. Have I just been ghosted again? Absolutely. Am I still funny af with great t*ts? Obvs.' Megan has previously attributed her rise in TikTok followers to a 2021 Derry Girls skit she did with one of her friends, which amassed more than 12,000 likes on the video sharing app.

The Coronas review: Voices sweeter than honey ring around Cork ahead of band's Glasto set
A vocal sweeter than a keg of the finest organic honey, Danny O'Reilly was at the top of his game at a memorable night at Cork's legendary tent. What better way for The Coronas to warm up before their Saturday night show in Glastonbury than to wow their loyal fans at Live at the Marquee 2025. This was their ninth time playing the venue. With the reception they get here, you can be sure it won't be their last. The Coronas wowed their loyal fans in Cork at Live at the Marquee 2025 ahead of their Glastonbury set on Saturday. Picture: Chani Anderson On stage at 9pm sharp. Total pros. At 9.05pm an explosion of confetti: Addicted To Progress. The crowd sings every word. Monster start. "It's great to be back in Cork. Go raibh maith agaibh. Thank you very much," says Danny. At 9:10, a sea of outsized balloons are released and Danny is leaning into the barriers, high-fiving the front row. All girls. Literally not one bloke on the big screen. Apart from Danny. Led by multi-instrumentalist Danny, this Dublin trio is a band of real quality. The other two core members are Graham Knox on bass and Conor Egan on drums. Danny introduces everyone. Róisín O played a support set before The Coronas (led by her brother Danny) before guesting with the band. Picture: Chani Anderson "People are saying to us 'you're playing Glastonbury this weekend', but we've played here so many times that we've played to more people here. "This show is what we look forward to more. "This is our Glastonbury. And give a big Cork welcome to this marvellous singer [and local hero] Cian McSweeney." Fans enjoying The Coronas at Live at the Marquee in Cork on Friday. Picture: Chani Anderson Later, he climbs beyond the barriers into the crowd. Singing, mingling. Loads of blokes also on the big screen this time, to be fair. All the hits: Dreaming Again, Closer to You, ' That's Exactly What Love Is, If You Let Me, Give Me a Minute, Just Like That. Always a big reaction to classics like Heroes or Ghosts (the crowd singing this was a real highlight), What a Love, and Addicted to Progress. And, of course, San Diego Song. Confetti cannons explode across the stage as The Coronas ramped up the celebratory atmosphere at Live at the Marquee. Picture: Chani Anderson Touring for the past 20 years, they have released eight hugely successful studio albums — from Heroes or Ghosts in 2007 through to Thoughts & Observations in 2024 — most of which reached No1 in the Irish album charts. From their most recent album, they performed Speak Up, Confirmation, and Ghosting. They're currently working on their ninth studio album. A nod to excellent warmup act, Roísín O, who wowed this crowd. Being Danny's sister, of course, no doubt helped; so too did a belting cover of Chappell Roan's Pink Pony Club, but her own material was also powerful. And she guested with The Coronas, soloing beautifully on That's Exactly What Love Is, among others. God-given family harmonies. What a great voice. No surprise — they're Mary Black's children after all. Magic DNA. Magic night. Meet the fans at Live at the Marquee Fans enjoying the concert by The Coronas at Live at the Marquee on Friday evening.
