Irish take over V Festival

There are several perks of being a celebrity, and some of Ireland's best known musicians are enjoying VIP access at this year's Virgin Media V Festival in Chelmsford.

The Script frontman Danny O'Donoghue was beaming as he performed for the crowd with a catalogue consisting of their greatest hits and newer material.

The band are enjoying a break from touring the US, where their star continues to rise.

MTV presenter Laura Whitmore enjoyed backstage access with pal Niall Horan of One Direction, who enjoyed his second day at the festival today.

And both were happy to support the Irish by enjoying a birds-eye view of Una Healy and The Saturdays as they took to the stage earlier today.

Una enjoyed the VIP bar at the Mahiki Coconut Backstage Bar prior to her performance, in full makeup and hair, alongside her rugby player husband Ben Foden.

Throughout the three-day festival, Olly Murs, Labrinth, Paloma Faith, Conor Maynard and The Saturdays, all took to the stage.
