Speaking at the event, Una gushed: "He's hiding on his crutches tonight, but he's a great guy and I'm very happy."

On how they met, she added to The Sun: "He reached out to me and we met up and clicked. He's such a kind and great person - I love him."

Mum-of-two Una looked stunning on the night, wearing an elegant beaded cocktail dress. Aidan, meanwhile, looked dapper wearing a black tux.

Other well-known Irish stars in attendance included Ryan Tubridy - who attended with his girlfriend Clare - Laura Whitmore, Kellie Harrington, Imelda May, Eamonn Holmes and Lisa McHugh.

Una was previously married to England rugby player Ben Foden, whom she shares children Aoife and Tadhg with, but they split in 2018 after Ben admitted to being unfaithful. He has since moved to the US where he lives with wife Jackie Smith, whom he has welcomed daughters Farrah and Olympia with in recent years.

Following the end of their marriage, Una dated Limerick hurler David Breen. She was also involved with boxer David Haye, but vehemently denies she was ever in a "throuple" with him and his girlfriend Sian Osborne.

The popstar turned presenter previously told of how she rushed into relationships too quickly following the breakdown of her marriage.

"You do feel a pressure, maybe that's why I dated so quickly and went into a relationship with someone after my divorce so fast," Una explained.

"I felt, 'I need someone, I have to find someone,' and I didn't at all! That just never worked out anyway, for the best, but I did think there was a lot of pressure on me to find someone."
