Michael Flatley is the latest famous face to pull their own pint at Nicky Byrne’s home bar.

The Westlife star invited the legendary Irish dancer over to his Malahide house to try his hand at pouring the perfect pint of Guinness.

Nicky shared a video of their encounter on Instagram, showing Michael the ropes before closely inspecting his handiwork.

The pair then took swigs out of the glasses together, with Nicky adding a sticker reading: “Sláinte”.

The Dubliner set the video to the Lord of the Dance theme in tribute to its creator.

Captioning the post, he wrote: “The fastest feet on the planet and not bad at Guinness pouring either!

“Thanks for stopping by Michael and what a great chat we had! #LordOfTheDance #Riverdance #FeetOfFlames

“A true Irish Legend”.

Fans were delighted by the showbiz crossover, taking to the comments section to share their delight.

“2 legends in the same pub,” one person wrote.

Another said: “Yeayyy... Let me guess your joining Riverdance on Tour!!!”

Someone else mused: “Bet you're the coolest dad ever having all these celebs round at your place lol”.

Michael is the latest of Nicky’s celebrity pals to join him at his personal pub, with Take That’s Gary Barlow calling in for a pint a few weeks back.

The band played Dublin’s 3Arena last month with Olly Murs as the opening act and Gary headed to Nicky’s home bar in between the sold-out gigs.

A video shared by Nicky had the caption: “A fun afternoon. Thanks for stopping by and besta luck tonight in Dublin Gaz!”

It showed the pair pulling the perfect pint of Guinness, and even though Gary seemed to struggle, he still pulled a decent pint of plain.

And before that, Chris Kamara made a guest appearance in January.

“In Dublin with me pal Nicky Byrne. After singing You Raise Me Up recently, I’ve got an audition for Westlife. Before you say it, we did let the Guinness settle before drinking,” The Sky Sports presenter said on social media.

Nicky shared a video of Kamara pulling his pint, but he forgets that it’s a two-stage pour.

“One of the world’s best guys. A pleasure to have you over Kammy, a legend in every department, well, maybe except pulling a pint of Guinness, but we can work on that.”

Kamara replied: “Yours was only half full Nicky. I was trying to squeeze a bit more in mine. Thanks for a fab day.”
