Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker has revealed she is a fan of RTÉ’s Lyric FM, which is celebrating 25 years on the airwaves.

The mother-of-three US actress spends a lot of her time in Donegal with her fellow actor husband Matthew Broderick in their holiday home.

The New Yorker took to her official Instagram page to express her congratulations and posted a photograph of a smiling Evelyn Grant who hosts the Weekend Drive.

Ms Parker, who is about to start filming for the third season of Sex and the City spin-off And Just Like That, said: “Happy 25th birthday to RTÉ LyricFM!

“To Evelyn Grant and all the great hosts at Lyric, we are very fortunate to have you filling our days with beautiful music. Here’s to the next 25 musical years. X, SJ”

Her post elicited scores of responses with one person adding: “Love that you’re a fan! You must try and catch Marty Whelan on his morning show. It’s a great way to start the day.”

While TV presenter Lisa Cannon said: “Fantastic SJP! If only I knew how much you loved Lyric back when I worked on SATC with Andrea years ago and delivered scripts to your trailer.”

Ms Parker and her husband have returned to their New York home after a four-month successful stint at London's Savoy Theatre with their play Plaza Suite.
