Proprietor of JJ Houghs, Ger Hough, pictured with Eastenders actress Shona McGarty
Eastenders actress was the latest in a growing line of famous punters at equally famous Offaly pub JJ Houghs in Banagher recently.
Hot on the heels of Love/Hate and Game of Thrones star Aiden Gillen a few weeks ago, Shona McGarty, aka Whitney from Eastenders, popped by the cosy pub.
Proprietor Ger Hough shared a picture with the talented actress at the pub on social media. He captioned the picture: "Great to have @shonabmx aka Whitney pop in to J.J Houghs for a drink last night."
Shona featured on last week's RTE Late Late Country Special where she sang a duet, Me & Bobby McGee, with Donegal country crooner Daniel O'Donnell.

She also has a big connection to Offaly through her fiancé who hails from the Faithful county. Musician David Bracken popped the question during the summer. He is best known for playing as part of the band Blessed which also featured Tony Cunningham.
