RONAN Keating has slammed a British actress for pushing past him on the red carpet at the GQ Men Of The Year Awards last night.

The 41-year-old refused to say who it was but his description, which included her style of dress and a film she was in, has led to speculation he was talking about Kate Beckinsale.

The Boyzone singer claims he was on the red carpet with his wife Storm in a queue to get to the top when a very famous actress in a “Bollywood style dress” shoved her way to the front, leaving them gobsmacked.

Speaking to his co-host Harriet Scott on the Magic FM breakfast show today, Ronan spilled the beans, saying: “You know the red carpet gets backed up a little bit. Always at all these events, whatever you do there’s a little bit of a queue at the red carpet.

“Storm and I are standing there and having a chat with Erin O’Connor, the model and the lady from Game of Thrones – Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie).”

“We’re having a chat, having a bit of craic and I can see this figure coming… and they’re moving at speed. There’s no one with them, they’re on their own.”

He continued:  “There’s this kind of flowing Bollywood style dress. In they walk, past us, through the queue, past the whole queue, straight to the top of the red carpet, in front of the photographers and boom -  hand on the hip.”

“You can just see everybody in the queue - everyone’s just looking, going ‘who the f does she think she is?!’

“You wouldn’t mind if there was one of these American publicist people going ‘out of the way, excuse me’. But no on her own, on her tod, walked straight in. Top of the queue, passed everyone out.”

His co-host Harriet hinted at who it might be, saying:  “She’s a British actress, in a big blockbuster about a big event in World War II, something like a pivotal moment in World War II. She seemed like a really laid back person.”

To which Ronan responded, “We were disappointed, we wanted to really like her but we don’t anymore!”

Kate famously played Lieutenant Evelyn Johnson McCawley in the 2001 blockbuster Pearl Harbour, which is set in World War II, alongside Josh Hartnett and Ben Affleck.

She appeared on the red carpet alone last night, wearing a dramatic Julian McDonald gown that was reminiscent of a saree thanks to the cut.

The Sun Online has contacted Kate for comment.
