Buttercrane certainly was a busy place on Valentines night when around 700 fans turned up to get up close and personal with 2019 Love Island winner and Irish Rugby pro player Greg O’Shea.

Limerick born Greg won series 5 of the show with Amber Gill.

Greg was joined by Newry native, social media influencer, author and fitness blogger Maeve Madden. 

He spent over an hour meeting every fan waiting in Buttercrane, taking selfies, signing everything from body parts to parental consent forms and even school diaries!
