Daniel Day is here!

Singer Daniel O’Donnell left a superfan speechless after he surprised her at her home.

The country crooner paid a visit to superfan Mary-Ellen O’Hare ahead of OFX Irish Legends Tournament at the TikTok star’s home in Co Down.

Mary-Ellen has gained a loyal following on social media for her light-hearted tradition of revealing her Daniel O’Donnell calendar at the start of each month.

Her enthusiasm and genuine love for Daniel’s music have made her monthly posts something that many fans look forward to.

Over time, this simple ritual has drawn widespread attention, even catching Daniel’s eye.

With his involvement in the upcoming OFX Irish Legends tournament, the team at ForeFront Sports arranged this special meeting to bring them together and celebrate both Mary-Ellen’s support and Daniel’s participation in the event.

Eimear McManus, Ruth Crehan and Ciara Noonan got on the road and made their way to Banbridge to meet the man himself and surprise the O’Hare family.

Daniel is set to participate in the OFX Irish Legends tournament, which will take place from May 15 to 17, 2025, at the prestigious Mount Juliet Estate in County Kilkenny.

This event marks the return of the Legends Tour to Mount Juliet since 1999, promising an exciting lineup of golf legends and celebrities.

Tickets for the OFX Irish Legends are now available. For more information on ticketing and event details, please visit the official Legends Tour website.
