This afternoon, the first Irish Press Conference took place here in Tel Aviv. Sarah McTernon was joined on stage by her two backing dancers (Rhianna and Adele) and her three backing singers (Keira, Fiona and Michael), who perform off stage.

The rehearsal has more surprises to come, including milkshakes we’re told. We were also told that no-one would want to drink it. We’ll find out in a few days’ time.

Sarah told us that she has various family and friends coming over for the show next week. Her young daughter Mia won’t be making the trip.

Find out more in our interview with Sarah, shortly after this press conference. You can find it HERE.
