Ronan Keating yesterday completed his marathon charity walk across Ireland.
The pop star finished the gruelling 357-mile coast-to-coast journey - which raised more than €100,000 for cancer charities - and immediately cracked open two bottles of champagne.
Family and friends were set to join him at a party in Cork city to mark the achievement.
"There was ups and downs and pains but we got through it and we had a great time. It is fantastic," he said.
Hundreds of fans turned out to help the 26-year-old singer finish the last leg of his walk from Co Antrim in the north to the Old Head of Kinsale in Co Cork.
Money raised in Northern Ireland will go to Action Cancer.
Funds collected in the Republic will go to the Marie Keating Foundation, set up in memory of his mother, who died from breast cancer.
