We caught up with sexy Sam at The Gaiety Theatre yesterday as she announced her role as Girl Friday in the 'Robinson Crusoe & The Caribbean Pirates' panto this coming Christmas... Ah we've missed the Northsider here on ShowBiz.ie.

Anyroad, seeing as Mumba was without her engagement ring during the photocall we hung around the stagedoor after the shoot to see if she'd stick the diamond back on after all the snappers had fecked off... And it paid off folks, we got the shot. Well, she covered it up when she copped what we were at, but the money shot was already got.

Yup. Mumba and her little bro Omero appeared on Grafton Street and Sammy was wearing the sparkler. Score! You see folks? It pays to be alley lurking smelly paps with no shame and nothing else to do of an afternoon... All that's left to say is - Congrats Sam and Torray!
