Paul Mescal’s mother Dearbhla has revealed she forgot to bring her phone to the BAFTAs.

But the Kildare native, who is undergoing chemotherapy treatment, admitted she was “in the moment” as she enjoyed partying with some of Hollywood’s top A-listers at the star studded bash in London.

She told her followers on Instagram: "I’m very grateful. Imagine I forgot my phone. There was a reason, I was right there in the moment, guys.

“It is now I think half past two and I am ready for my bed to sleep.

“What an amazing gift this was to be a part of this incredible crazy ride.”

Paul said his family will all fly out to LA to be part of the celebrations.
