This is what Christmas is all about…
An 18-year-old from Dublin had his Christmas wish granted last night, when he met his heroes Take That.
Conor Kenny’s sister Fauve took to social media earlier this week to reveal that brother is the band’s biggest fan and had previously travelled to Glasgow and Belfast to see them, as well as having Gary Barlow’s face on his birthday cake.
Fauve appealed to RTÉ to arrange for Conor to finally meet his heroes, an online campaign that garnered huge support.
Conor got to spend time with Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen, and received tickets to Take That’s show at Dublin’s 3 Arena in May with a promise that he’d get to meet them again.

According to his Mum, Connor “is still in shock.”
“They have given him tickets for their May show and have guaranteed he will meet them and band backstage again. They were really lovely lads.”
Conor also made sure to take the opportunity to pose in Tub’s Late Late Show host seat while he was there.
