Brasher Rescues Ronan
We talk to Irish heart-throb Ronan Keating about socks, walking boots and his charity walk around Ireland, erm, sort of. Is this Hello! magazine or what?

Poor little Ronan, did you have to be so harshly sarcastic on the little chap?

Of course you did.

"Apparently Ronan - the quavering voice that launched a thousand boy bands - is off on a 22-day fundraising trek around Ireland..."

Er...he finished yesterday.

Must have been Richard Gear who supplied the story.

And 600+ miles in 22 days is reasonable going

Just been checking this out a little more, actually the walk was actually 361 miles long. So little Ronan averaged 16.4 miles a day.

Argh!! God help me, I went to the Ronan Keeting fansite!! The things I do for message board research...

Aye, there's some slipage on the sites reporting this too. Some mix 361 and 631 miles, I guess GMTV didn't spend as much time researching this as I did (about a minute of my life that I'll never get back...).

If you check the site, they had five "rest days" and spent the others doing twenty-odd mile slogs. I doubt Ronan was carrying much kit though.

Still all for a good cause!
