A fairytale Transformation for new bride Kathryn at majestic Kilkea Castle

OPERATION Transformation presenter Kathryn Thomas underwent a stunning bridal makeover of her own as she married her long-term partner Pádraig McLoughlin in the majestic setting of Kilkea Castle over the weekend.

The RTÉ star, who hails from neighbouring Carlow, wore a ivory silk gown with a daring low-cut back.

Beautiful photographs released by the blissful newlyweds show them lovingly playing with their toddler daughter, Ellie, who was dressed in a pretty white floral, ruffled dress, by Helen Cody.
