Jonny unable to go to the IFTAs

Maria Doyle Kennedy, who plays Catherine of Aragon on the Tudors, told Herald.ie that Jonny wasn't at the awards in Ireland Saturday because of a "family crisis."

"He couldn't be here because of a family thing. I can't say any more about it but I know that he was gutted he couldn't be here," she said.

We hope everything turns out ok, Jonny! You and your family are in our thoughts.
