Storm Uechtritz Dazzles in Embellished Mini Dress

All eyes were set to be on Ronan Keating as he joined the cast of Once for the press night on Tuesday evening. But his girlfriend Storm Uechtritz and some of his Boyzone bandmates drew attention as they posed on the red carpet before the show at Phoenix Theatre. The blonde beauty was on hand to show her support for her partner as he prepared to wow the crowds in the hit musical.

Storm, 33, put on a dazzling sartorial display as she sported an embellished kaftan style mini dress. The model accessorised with a gold clutch bag while opted for minimal jewellery. She wore a full face of make-up while her blonde locks were lightly curled at the ends. Keith Duffy, Shane Lynch and Mikey Graham all opted for dark ensembles as they reunited to show support for their fellow band mate on his big night.

Shane was hard to miss thanks to his now trademark beard while Keith wore a patterned neck scarf and Mikey kept things simple in a classic leather jacket. Newsreader Fiona Bruce, TV personality Lizzie Cundy and actress Michelle Collins were among the famous faces who turned up to see the show. Ronan recently revealed that he is 'ready to start living' again thanks to his girlfriend.

The Irish singer, who has had quite the difficult time in recent years following his split from long-term wife Yvonne in 2011, met the Australian TV executive on the set of the X Factor and now the loved-up couple plan to get married and have children. Speaking to Hello! Magazine, Ronan credited his girlfriend with helping him come to terms with the death of his bandmate Stephen Gately. Speaking to the magazine, he revealed: 'Storm understood me and was there and it was everything to me. 'We became real good friends, and the chemistry got greater and greater and over time one thing led to another. I've never known anything like it - she's my best friend.'

Model, writer and TV producer Storm added that the pair are already planning their wedding as she said: 'We've both found our soulmate and we know that we are going to spend the rest of our lives together. He's amazing; I love him.' She added: 'We've talked about having a baby and it is a possibility for us, yes.' Ronan already has three children with ex-wife Yvonne - 15-year-old Jack, 13-year-old Marie and Ali, 9 - but it seems he's ready to grow his family ever more. Keating said: 'I feel like I'm on the climb again, I'm feeling like it's a bit of a rebirth for me, like I'm having a renaissance and a lot of that is down to Storm. 'I'm in a great place and I'm ready to start living.' The couple are thought to have been an item for around two years, shortly after the pop star revealed his 13-year marriage to Yvonne had ended.
