Who on earth does she think she is? Ronan’s storm over Kate
RONAN Keating has let rip at a Kate Beckinsale after the actress apparently skipped to the front of the queue for the GQ Men of The Year Awards red carpet.
The Boyzone star, 41, appeared to be referring to Ms Beckinsale, 45, when he claimed a woman in a ‘Bollywood-style dress’ shoved herself ‘straight to the top of the red carpet’ to get her photograph taken first.
Speaking on his Magic FM Breakfast Show in England, Ronan dropped a hint the woman he was referring to was the Pearl Harbour star when he described her dress and pose, and confirmed she had appeared in ‘a blockbuster about a big event in World War II’.
Keating – who is a co-host with Harriet Scott on Magic Radio every weekday from 6am – criticised the British actress for leaving Star Wars favourite Gwendoline Christie, supermodel Erin O’Connor, himself and wife Storm utterly stunned as she pushed by them to be papped.
Keating, speaking on the popular radio show, said: ‘You know the red carpet gets backed up a little bit.
‘Storm and I are standing there and having a chat with Erin O’Connor, the model and the lady from Game of Thrones – Brienne of Tarth [Gwendoline Christie].
‘We’re having a chat, having a bit of craic and I can see this figure coming… and they’re moving at speed.
‘There’s no-one with them, they’re on their own. ‘There’s this kind of flowing Bollywood-style dress.
‘In they walk, past us, through the queue, past the whole queue, straight to the top of the red carpet, in front of the photographers and boom – hand on the hip.’ Shocked by the A-lister’s actions, the Picture Of You hitmaker confessed that her race to the red carpet left the rest of the stars utterly bamboozled as she worked her angles for the camera.
He continued: ‘You can just see everybody in the queue – everyone’s just looking, going, “who the F does she think she is?!”
Keating said: ‘We were disappointed, we wanted to really like her but we don’t any more!’
‘We don’t like her any more’
