Una Healy makes first public appearance since ex-husband Ben Foden's shock wedding

Una Healy has stepped out for the first time since her ex Ben Foden married in a shock wedding ceremony last week.

The Irish music star rocked the stage as she headlined the Farmers Bash beach festival in Portrush on Friday.

Putting her personal life on hold, Una performed the emotional track "Strangers" to the massive crowd and her set went down a storm- as expected, RSVP Live reports.

The song which she penned herself details heartbreak and moving on from a loved one.

The lyrics went: "I guess everything I gave was not enough. I gave you my whole heart but, tell me, was it love for you? I will not regret, I gave my all. Strangers when we met, now strangers at the end."

Standing on stage at the sold out event in Northern Ireland, Una sang: "You told me, I was yours and you were mine, solely. Never wanted to believe all those stories, yeah, that they told me. Crazy, you made me feel like I was going crazy. Believing all those lies that you fed me, no, I wasn't crazy."

Una joined Nathan Carter , Kiefer Sutherland, Lisa McHugh and Marty Mone on the bill.

Stylish as ever, the mum of two went for a cool denim number from Quiz for the gig.

Sharing a behind the scenes look at the festival, she said: "In my element! Great crowd this evening thank you for having me @farmersbash."

As well as her own song, Una also sang Miley Cyrus' "Nothing Breaks Like a Heart" and the classic "Friends in Low Places" by Garth Brooks.

Ben Foden married Jaqueline Smith after just two weeks of dating in Nantucket last weekend.

Telling fans about the surprise wedding, the former England rugby player said: "People will say we are mad or crazy or even fools, as Jackie and I had only been dating seriously for a little over 2 weeks before deciding to get married. But when someone like her comes in to your life, why would I wait?"

After explaining that Una had given them her blessing, Ben went on to say she will be great step mother to his two children: "Life is short and you only get one and it’s worth living.

"Jackie is the greatest human being I’ve ever come across - she’s beautiful inside and out, intelligent, charming, funny, generous, kind, gentle, energetic the list goes on.
