According to insiders, Erin flew to London to have a custom-made wedding dress made, with her choice of designers being Vera Wang and Alexander McQueen.

The Dancing With The Stars and panto actress told friends she had signed a mega deal with an American magazine for the rights to photograph the wedding at the end of the month, which should go some way to offset the huge cost of her wedding dress, estimated at at least €100,000.

Erin (42) is due to marry Terry in the coming weeks at a location in Ireland, reportedly at the five-star Cashel Palace Hotel in County Tipperary.

Last weekend she hosted a second hen party for close friends and family at her brother Conor’s pub, the Black Forge in Dublin’s Crumlin. Guests dressed all in white and she danced the night away after cutting a huge cake and receiving a bouquet of flowers.

Earlier this summer, she flew in with a group of friends for her first hen party in Saint Tropez, France. Terry, who sings at funerals, weddings and pub gigs, had his hen party in Puerto Rico on Gran Canaria in May.

He also acts as a presenter at MMA and boxing events, but recently announced that he is “retiring” from this type of work.

The couple have a seven-year-old son, Harry, while she also has an adult daughter, Taylor, from a previous relationship. Conor is set to be the main VIP guest at his big sister’s wedding.

Conor and Erin also have another sister, Aoife, who is currently dating Graham “The Wig” Whelan, who has links to the Kinahan cartel.
