In her Instagram story she said: "Hi guys, I’m extremely excited to meet you all at the meet and greet with bperfect cosmetics in Ireland this weekend.

"I cannot wait to meet you all, I’m super excited, I love Ireland and I love you all so I will see you there soon."

The short clip was quickly shared over on Twitter by the user, @jordken, who wrote; "Really enjoying Ekin Su’s pronunciation of Limerick on her insta stories."
