The much-loved star has been missing the fine Donegal sea air and green fields, according to  Instagram posts.

On one of her last visits to the county she penned a lovely poem about the county, which reads: 

“Farewell sultry and fickle skies

“Farewell plumes of smoke from chimneys

“Farewell ranges emitting the earthy and welcoming smell of turf

“Farewell chips and tweed and open smiles

“Farewell “marked bags”, lamb cutlets and kerrygold

“Farewell to the most perfect spuds in all the world. Flowery or waxy. I will miss you most of all.
