Amy Huberman looks unrecognisable in first ever magazine article
Amy Huberman has shared an incredible throwback of her first ever magazine article — where she looks unrecognisable. The actress began her career with On Home Ground, a two season drama about a GAA club in a small Irish town, where she played wild child Diane Collins. And while Amy would be considered a glam woman nowadays, she found an old magazine article featuring her dressed as Dianne: complete with wild, curly hair, bold red lipstick, and studded belt with fishnet gloves (which was the style at the time). View this post on Instagram A post shared by Amy Huberman (@amy_huberman) 'I mean. I do not know WHERE to start,' Amy wrote on her Instagram. 'I found this at my Mum's today. The first ever PR/press thing I ever did. (How was I going to follow that?!) 'It was for RTÉ drama On Home Ground, a show about a rural GAA community so I'm not entirely sure why I'm dressed like a Bon Jovi super fan in the 9th grade in Degrassi Junior High. 'I'm not even sure what magazine it was for as the page is ripped out but I do remember having a lot of fun that day,' she admitted, before joking that she didn't get a start as a model after the photoshoot. 'Just devo it didn't kick off an international modelling career (I mean that pose, come on?!) because I do not get out of bed for less than like, 1 euro, 20 cent.' Amy Huberman has shared an incredible throwback of her first ever magazine article — where she looks unrecognisable. Pic: RTE People were shocked at just how different Amy looked, with her Fran the Man co-star Deirdre O'Kane commenting 'OMG!! Made my day!' 'This is amazing,' Sharon Horgan added, while Chris O'Dowd added a series of laughing emojis. While she didn't grab the modelling contract from the show, she did go on to enjoy a fruitful acting career, with credits including on TV shows such as The Clinic, as well as in films such as Stella Days and The Stag, earning an IFTA nomination for Best Supporting Actress for the former. Amy's acting career flourished after her role in On Home Ground.

Amy Huberman details 'chance' encounter that led to marriage with BOD
Amy Huberman has recalled that her guest appearance on an Irish television chat show led to her relationship and eventual marriage with Irish rugby star, Brian O'Driscoll. Next month, the couple celebrate their 15th wedding anniversary, after saying 'I do' in a stunning Lough Rynn Castle ceremony in 2010. The wedding took place four years after they started dating, which was spurred on by Amy appearing on TV while Brian was out of sport with an injury. Amy Huberman has recalled her a guest appearance on an Irish television chat show led to a relationship and eventual marriage with Irish rugby star, Brian O'Driscoll. Pic: Brian McEvoy Speaking on Ryan Tubridy's podcast, The Bookshelf with Ryan Tubridy, Amy recalled appearing on his show Tubridy Tonight during the height of her stint on The Clinic. 'Brian was injured and he was at home and he was watching it,' Amy told presenter Ryan Tubridy. 'We were on anyway and I think he enjoyed the chat and he was like, 'I don't know who she is! Who is she?'' The rugby star rang PR Joanne Byrne wondering who Amy was and was she a 'hermit' as he had never heard of her despite being the same age. Amy explained that the women had been in tracksuits at the time. Despite the set-up being organised for Brian, the Leinster player was 'shy' on the night as he had a 'crisis' about duping Amy. Pic: Brian McEvoy 'Joanne said, no, she's living in London,' Amy explained. 'The next time I came home, they'd kind of orchestrated that we'd kind of bump into each other. 'Norma Sheehan, she's a great friend of mine as well, we went to visit another friend of ours. Coming back, she was like I've to drop a book to somebody in the Merrion.' Amy explained that the women had been in tracksuits at the time. Despite the set-up being organised for Brian, the Leinster player was 'shy' on the night as he had a 'crisis' about duping Amy. 'I think it's quite sweet,' Amy noted, with Ryan confirming it was indeed a 'good sign.' The pair were around 26 years old at the time, with Amy previously telling Doireann Garrihy on the Laughs of Your Life podcast that she 'first shifted him downstairs [in Cafe en Seine].' More than 20 years on since their 'chance' encounter, the pair now share three children — Sadie, 12, Billy, 11, and four-year-old Ted.

The Clinic by Cleveland Clinic Extends Baton Health Collaboration to Supercharge Physician Licensing for Virtual Specialty Care
Expanded relationship extends reach of world-renowned sub-specialty physicians CLEVELAND, May 13, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Clinic by Cleveland Clinic, a leading provider of virtual second opinions (VSOs), has renewed its relationship with Baton Health to expand licensed clinical expertise to patients around the country by streamlining and scaling physician credentialing. As more regulatory scrutiny is placed on virtual care providers, The Clinic chose to work with Baton Health—a modern platform for real-time primary source verification. "Licensing and maintaining the status of thousands of providers in multiple states is no small feat, which is why some virtual providers forego this step," said Nikhyl Jhangiani, head of business operations at The Clinic. "Our commitment to our patients—providing them the highest quality clinical perspectives—means we must always have compliance front and center in our approach. Our collaboration with Baton allows us to accelerate this process to provide fully licensed expertise that many in our space are unable to achieve." A joint venture between Cleveland Clinic and Amwell, The Clinic offers patients quick access to Cleveland Clinic's world-class providers and sub-specialists. Collaborating with Baton has enabled The Clinic to generate an accurate and comprehensive view of provider licenses by state and specialty in near real-time. Going beyond the traditionally cumbersome manual processes and self-reported provider data helps The Clinic ensure compliance and physician availability quickly and completely to support the growing demand for specialty care across the country. Upon implementation, Baton cross-referenced The Clinic's database containing more than 3,000 Cleveland Clinic specialists against its Universal Primary Source platform. Within hours, Baton created a comprehensive report of over 10,000 licenses spanning all 50 states, including previously unknown licenses, which enabled The Clinic to expand services to more patients. Baton and The Clinic have worked together to continually monitor and verify new and existing licensure for its providers. In their renewed collaboration, The Clinic will also use Baton's platform to automatically check provider licensure on an ongoing basis for an even more streamlined process. "For virtual care organizations, reach isn't just about how many clinicians you have, it's about how many states they're licensed in," said Robert Coombs, CEO of Baton Health. "We're proud to be a part of expanding The Clinic's footprint throughout the country and streamline their compliance operations at the same time."
