THE UNOFFICIAL QUEEN of Ireland, Amy Huberman, was on The Late Late Show last night, chatting about her show Striking Out with co-star Maria Doyle Kennedy.
At the minute, her character Tara is torn between dishy landlord Pete and her ex-fiancé-who-she’s-still-a-bit-keen-on Eric.

Protect Amy Huberman at all costs.
