Barry Keoghan and Sabrina Carpenter looked like one of those modern celebrity pairings that somehow made sense: the brooding Irish actor and the pop star with the sharpest tongue on the charts. Two pint-sized superstars with the world at their feet, until it was all over.

This week on The Way They Were, we pick apart the short-and-sweet romance between the Saltburn star and the Espresso chanteuse, from whirlwind beginnings to a breakup that seemed to arrive before Sabrina had even finished writing the next album. This week, Chantal and Gráinne are joined by stand-up comic Bella Hull to sift through the drama.

Also we have an update from Gráinne while Chantal explains why everybody wants to be invited to this year's Vanity Fair Oscars party.
