All-Ireland winning Clare hurler Nicky O'Connell auditions for Frozen

Nicky O’Connell is not taking part in the new Trading Places documentary but he may be giving Walt Disney’s Frozen a call.

CLARE ALL-IRELAND winner Nicky O’Connell proved that his talents don’t just lie on the playing fields when he and his model girlfriend Esther Woods performed the duet Love is an Open Door from the blockbuster Frozen movie recently.

In a surprising development, the world of social media was left rocking when the 25-year-old Clonlara man and the former Miss Clare were posted on Facebook performing an unlikely double act.

The duo have Banner boss Davy Fitzgerald to thank for their relationship as they met in his pub The Dugout, while Davy also encouraged O’Connell to follow up their meeting with a text.

O’Connell, who missed the first two rounds of the league through injury, has obviously been keeping busy and the couple have Nicky’s younger brother and county team mate Cathal (“Tots”) to thank for their viral video.

Unsurprisingly, team mates like Allstar Colm Galvin and Cathal Chaplin have given their full ‘support’ to O’Connell’s career move.

Here are both videos so we’ll let you decide whether he has a budding acting career ahead.
