Bianca Parties at Take That Circus...

The hottest ticket in town last weekend was Take That at Croker folks, we're no big boyband (or even manband) enthusiasts, but holy crap that was one outstandingly awesome show! U2 lads take note. Such was the massive hype surrounding the Mancunian four piece playing to 80,000 fans, even UK Red Top celeb Bianca Gascoigne jetted in to see The Circus...

Roll-up, roll-up... The greatest show on Earth came to Dublin at the weekend when Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Mark Owen and Jason Orange turned Croke Park into a Big Top complete with acrobats, clowns, burlesque dancers, majorettes, marching bands, tight-rope walkers, unicyclists, and a giant mechanical elephant. Yes, we said a giant mechanical elephant... Really, you had to be there.

The reunited and rejuvenated Take That lads gave the performance of their lives, playing to the biggest crowd of their lives. Robbie who?? Even Lads-Mag favourite Bianca Gascoigne flew in to attend the Dublin concert and partied away with her Irish agent Tara Sinnott... On Saturday night rumours were abound with afterparty gossip centred around Lillies and Krystle nightclubs, but sadly it never really materialised.

Glenda Gilson, Ruth Henshaw

Most VIPs who attended the Play.com sponsored show made their way to Lillies in expectation of partying with Gary & Co. But apparently the Take That boys went straight back to The Merrion Hotel and never resurfaced. And spare a thought for poor wee Bianca Gascoigne who was due to attend the Lillies Bordello afterparty – she couldn't get a taxi from Croke Park until very very late after the show due to the crazy traffic restrictions at the packed venue. She instead had a quick change of clothes and headed straight to the Auld Dubliner pub in Temple Bar as it was just a stone's throw away from her Morgan Hotel suite...

Glenda Gilson

But over at Lillies it was none-the-less glamorous with nightclub stalwart Glenda Gilson and her best-bud Ruth Henshaw in situ. The Glenda made her way to Lils after witnessing the Take That extravaganza, showing off those long toned and tanned pins, as she does. If ya got it folks, flaunt it.

Keith Barry, Mairead Barry

And Ms Gilson wasn't the only TV3 head enjoying the VIP hospitality back over at Croker... Cheeky weatherman Martin King was also knocking about the Corporate boxes keeping everyone cheerie as was busty Assets model Louise Kavanagh in a low-cut top, skin-tight blue jeans, and a naughty stash of vino in her handbag...

Keith Barry, Mairead Barry, Tara O'Leary

Another abuser of the Corporate hospitality at Croker was celebrity magician Keith Barry. Keitho also made his way to the Lillies Bordello non-afterparty with his lovely wife Mairead and PR lady Tara O'Leary on each arm... The magic man told us that he was hell bent on enjoying the night as he’s been so damn busy lately between stints in America that he intended to take full advantage of the night off. Proper order too.

Bianca Gascoigne

Well done to the Take That boys, fantastic show - so many people said leaving Croke Park: BEST GIG EVER! And we agree. The bar has been raised. We would have loved a few photos of the lads at the afterparty, but you can't have it all. Well, at least we got a shot of Bianca's insanely shiny anti-paparazzi reflecting hand bag. So it wasn't a complete loss.
