Erin McGregor has announced her engagement to long-term partner Terry Kavanagh after a romantic proposal during a panto in the Olympia Theatre on St Stephen's Day.
The Dublin star, who is the older sister of UFC star Conor McGregor, was left stunned when her partner of eight years, Terry, popped the question while she was performing on the Olympia Theatre stage in the Olly, Polly and the Beanstalk pantomime. During the encore after the show, Terry appeared on the stage and got down on one knee as the crowd cheered.
Taking to Instagram, Erin shared a clip of the special moment where she can be seen covering her face in shock at the romantic gesture. Erin did make Terry sweat momentarily as she asked the crowd if she should say yes, which received a deafening cheer as she accepted the sweet proposal.

Erin later made their engagement official Instagram official by posting about it on her social media. Taking to Instagram, she shared video footage of the romantic proposal, and she paid tribute to her new husband-to-be in her post: "I’m totally speechless, with every hurdle and struggle we’ve been through, we’ve been through it together, and I know whatever comes our way we will take it on as a team.
"My heart is bursting with all of the love and support from everyone and I’m still trying to process the magic of it all. Our love story might not have been straight forward, but I can’t wait to spend forever with my best friend and my gorgeous family.
"Here’s to forever with you," she added. Erin and Terry met in Las Vegas in 2014 during one of her brother Conor's UFC fights. The couple has a six-year-old son, Harry, while Erin also has a 22-year-old daughter Taylor.
Family and friends commented on Instagram to wish the newly engaged Erin and Terry all the best. Influencer Rosie Connolly commented: "Awwww Erin, how incredible and what a proposal." Meanwhile, Erin's friend Terrie McEvoy wrote: “Aww this is amazing!! Huge congrats Erin."
Martin King's wife Jenny McCarthy also congratulated the couple, writing: "Omg, that is incredible news."
