Una makes dreams come true this Christmas

Una’s Dream Ticket’ is a brand new wish fulfilment show on RTÉ TWO  presented by Una Healy from girlband, ‘The Saturdays’.

This brand new  11-part series, which starts on Christmas Day, continues daily  until Saturday January 4th, as Una makes dreams come true for lots and lots of Irish children.   Not only does Una make dreams come true in every episode, but she will also be joined by her band mates ‘The Saturdays’ in every show to perform one of their smash hits.

Young Cormac Short from Louth  gets a masterclass from top Irish golfer Padraig Harrington while Dublin teenager Mary McGrath (15) meets  actor Charlie Wernham, who plays Robbie Roscoe in Hollyoaks when Una makes her  dream of visiting the set of Hollyoaks come true.

And soap fans Amy, Ciara, and Claire Costello with Aoife O'Loughlin from Co Clare, saw their dream come true when they got to meet Dan Ewing who plays Heath Braxton in the hit Australian soap Home and Away.

Other dreams that come true this week  see eight-year-old Fionn McGuigan from Tipperary spending the day with Anthony Stokes at Celtic FC in Glasgow where he got to train with the Celtic team, six-year-old Dublin youngster  Nathan Achom visiting a toy factory, and 11-year-old Rachel Fitzpatrick from Laois working with an Ornithologist. And nine-year- old Sophie Fisher from Wicklow  was thrilled when she got to work as a florist for a wedding!

As Ireland’s biggest and brightest female pop star, Una is delighted with her new role as dream maker. 

 “I am so excited to have been offered this amazing opportunity. Una’s Dream Ticket promises to be filled with fun and surprises.”

 With a sprinkling of popstar magic, Una and ‘The Saturdays’ are guaranteed to make this the most feel good show on TV this Christmas and New Year season as the long-held dreams and ambitions of the nation’s youngsters become amazing realities!

The dreams throughout the series range from Dublin teenager Joost Peeters meeting his hero Brian O'Driscoll during a  training session with the Leinster Rugby team, Limerick teenager Orla Fahy training with Olympic swimmer Grainne Murphy;  and 14-year-old Keela Brogan from Galway getting the chance to go  behind the scenes on Coronation Street!

Lucky Tallaght schoolboy Mark Dunne  got introduced to the Leeds United soccer team by their star player Sam Byram  at the team's Elland Road football ground, and Cherie McConnell (14) from Nobber, Co. Meath saw her dream  to be a Maitre’D for a day come true thanks to restaurateur Nick Munier.

‘Una’s Dream Ticket’  is on at  11.00am and repeated at teatime daily on RTÉ TWO.
