Shane Lynch spotted walking through The Parade in Parkgate

Gabriel Roberts, 16, originally from Chester, but who moved to Neston when he was seven has had a passion for music since beginning secondary school.

In the past couple of years, Gabriel has started uploading his own original songs to Spotify and Apple music.

He also spends lots of his free time busking in Neston and Parkgate to members of the public.

On Saturday (April 29) Gabriel was about to set up to busk at The Parade in Parkgate when he noticed Shane.

He said: "I know what car he drives from Instagram and I saw it drive past me. I carried on busking and then I saw him walk past.

"I think he was going to The Ship, but I asked for a photo and we had a chat."

After 20 years living in London, Shane, 46, and his wife Sheena moved to Cheshire in 2019. Sheena has been a member of The Real Housewives of Cheshire since 2021.

Shane's most recent TV appearance saw him disappear early as he quit before the final episode of Pilgrimage: The Road Through Portugal.

The first episode of the show, which aired last month, shows Shane driving out of a home on The Parade in Parkgate.

Speaking about meeting Shane, Gabriel added: "I've known Boyzone for a long time so it was an amazing moment to see one of them in person.

"He asked how old I was, and he signed my guitar strap.

"It was just nice to have a conversation with him. My grandmother and mum are Irish so we were speaking about that and he had a lot of time for me."
