TELLY favourite Saoirse Monica Jackson was reunited with one of her Derry Girls co-stars as she kicked off her upcoming nuptials to a world-famous DJ with a glamorous festival hen party.
The actress, who played Erin in the Channel 4 smash-hit, jetted off with pals for an incredible trip to Montreux in Switzerland to celebrate the milestone.
The 31-year-old, who is engaged to Scottish SJ Denis Sulta, was joined by Jamie Lee O’Donnell, who played Michelle in the popular series.
Saoirse shared snippets from her lavish girls holiday on Instagram– but fans couldn’t help but notice one familiar face in the snaps.
Saoirse’s Derry Girls co-star, Jamie Lee O’Donnell, could be seen partying with the star on her huge hen party extravaganza.
The Derry Girls cast were renowned for being close pals behind the scenes of the show and remained friends long after the series wrapped.
So, it’s no surprise that Jamie tagged along for Saoirse’s big trip.
The pals looked happy-as-ever as they posed for a mirror selfie with the bridal crew before hitting the town.
Saoirse looked sensational in an all white ensemble with a sequin cowboy hat and heart-shaped sunglasses.
Jamie stuck out her tongue in the photo as she raised her glass of champagne.
The pair danced, sunbathed and dined out at fabulous restaurants alongside the rest of the hen party.
The ladies stayed in a jaw-dropping lakeside Air BnB on the holiday which had views of the Swiss mountains.
The girls posed in front of the breathtaking view before heading out on the town one night, with Saoirse donning a super stylish plaid number.
The ladies partied the weekend away and made sure to soak up the sun along the way.
WEDDING BUZZ
In a post on Instagram, Saoirse gushed over her pals as she wrote: “The best weekend with the most gorgeous people. I’m so lucky to have such amazing friends & family.
“Thank you for pulling out all the stops for me. INCREDIBLE.”
Saoirse’s fans and friends all raced to the comment section to gush over the beautiful bride-to-be.
Jamie wrote: “The best weekend for the best wee Lady.”
Future hubby, Denis gushed: “You look amazing babe and so glad you had the best time with the hens!!”
While Alisha commented: “The best tribe with the most stunning bride! What a weekend!!!”

Saoirse and her fiancé, whose real name is Hector Barbour, are reported to have met back in 2020.
The pair moved in together in 2023, with their home being in Liverpool.
Saoirse told The Guardian: “He’s from Glasgow, and I’m from Derry, so geographically it’s bang in the middle.”
Hector popped the question in late 2023 and claimed it as his “favourite memory ever”.
Speaking to Cosmopolitan about their upcoming wedding plan, Saoirse-Monica said: “We’re planning our wedding at the moment. I have a ginormous family. He’s so down for a big wedding, but I don’t want to spend the day feeling anxious that I haven’t got round to everybody.”
