A-list actor jetting into the UK for surprise Radio 1’s Big Weekend appearance

LOADS of stars will descend on the usually far-from glamorous location of Luton for the Bank Holiday as Radio 1’s Big Weekend arrives in town.

But there will be one surprise A-lister in the crowd – Saltburn hunk Barry Keoghan.

I’ve learned the sought-after actor is jetting in especially to support his girlfriend Sabrina Carpenter, at No1 in the singles chart for the third week with Espresso.

A source said: “Barry and Sabrina are head over heels for one another.

“He flew out to California to watch her Coachella set last month and this week he will follow her to Luton.

“Barry has been added to the VIP guest- list for Sunday and plans to cheer her on from the side of the stage. He couldn’t be more proud of her.”

The couple haven’t spoken publicly about their relationship but she did mention him in the outro to her 2022 single Nonsense during her set at Coachella.

Referencing his controversial antics in viral movie Saltburn, she playfully sang: “Man has knees so weak he had to spread mine. He’s drinkin’ my bath water like it’s red wine.”

Loads of other big acts, including Coldplay, Chase & Status and Raye, will perform at Radio 1’s event.

Then next month Sabrina will make her debut at Wembley Stadium as part of the star-studded line-up of Capital FM’s Summertime Ball.

I won’t be surprised if he pops up there, too.
