How Sabrina Carpenter's ex Barry Keoghan has reacted as she publicly shames him again with her most explicit song yet

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DRESSED in barely there hotpants and bareless with just a white shirt on, Sabrina Carpenter took aim at ex Barry Keoghan once again. In a savage swipe she sings 'Man-child / Why you always come a-running to me? / F**k my life / Won't you let an innocent woman be?' , clearly aimed at the actor, who she split with December of last year. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 8 Sabrina Carpenter has taken aim at ex Barry Keoghan once again Credit: Instagram / sabrinacarpenter 8 An insider close to Barry Keoghan has confirmed the star is completely unphased Credit: AFP But how does Barry, 32, feel about the latest public shaming? Insiders close to the star have confirmed he is completely unphased, saying: 'If anything Barry is very amused that he's the centre of the song, but he's got bigger things to concentrate on.' While Sabrina is sparking outrage for latest album cover, Barry is in 'Beatles bootcamp' as he prepares for the biggest role of his career. He is playing Ringo Starr in a film series on the Fab Four and has spent the past three months getting stuck in. He expects to be working on the four films for 15 months — with co-stars Paul Mescal, Joseph Quinn and Harris Dickinson. Barry explained: 'We've been in full camp for like 16 or 17 weeks now. "It's just an absolute joy. The camp is like bootcamp and it's a place where you have time and you try things. 'For Ringo, you get to approach the walk, the accent, play around with the face. "It's a place of failing, a place of learning and trying. That's the process I'm in now. It's a playground for me.' The insider revealed: 'Barry has given up booze and partying to get into the role. Sabrina Carpenter's new hit music video 'Manchild 'It could win him an Oscar and Barry has his sights on true greatness, so is making sure no distractions get in his way.' The star has also removed himself from social media - avoiding the endless trolling from Sabrina fans. The insider added: "It's been the perfect way to get over a break up." Discussing his sober journey, Barry said: 'I will always try and do better. I am always looking to elevate. My approach to The Beatles movie is entirely different to anything I have ever done. 'Being sober has now allowed me artistically to go down a constructive way and kind of bring back emotions and control. Rather than be erratic. There is a whole new approach to it. I am happy when I reach certain things. We are always looking to say more. I am proud of my work and my legacy but I think that is just starting.' 8 Barry was dumped by Sabrina for the first time after she grew tired of his party lifestyle Credit: Getty 8 Barry is playing Ringo Starr in a film series on The Beatles and has spent the past three months getting stuck in Credit: Getty Barry split from dental nurse Alyson Kierans last July after also rowing about his partying and flirting with another woman. The couple share two-year-old son Brando. He then struck up a romance with Sabrina, but the Hollywood power couple split last year, with sources blaming their busy work schedules at the time. Just a few months before The Sun on Sunday revealed Barry had been dumped by Sabrina for the first time after she grew tired of his party lifestyle. A source said at the time: 'Barry acts like an idiot when he is drunk and Sabrina was getting increasingly frustrated. 'He has always been a party animal and Sabrina was fed up with his antics. She is soaring in the charts and is putting herself first as she gears up for her tour next month.' 8 Barry appeared in Sabrina's video for Please Please Please 8 Sabrina has become known for her racy photoshoots Credit: instagram Sabrina previously released the single Please Please Please, which sees her sing about a boyfriend damaging her reputation. And she once again took aim at him with her the track from her new album, which has sparked ferocious debate. While the former Disney Channel star has been praised in the past for 'owning' her sexuality in a feminist way, it seems this latest display has gone too far for many. One fan on X labelled it 'straight-up Pornhub fantasy', while a ­domestic violence charity issued a statement saying: 'Sabrina Carpenter's album cover isn't edgy, it's regressive.' Others have slammed her decision to once again sing about Barry and have compared her to Taylor Swift, who has made sure no past relationship is sacred. It's a stark difference from a few months ago when the Princess of pop could do no wrong and the fans were turning on Barry. It seems Barry really has taken inspiration from The Beatles and in this case has decided to 'let it be'. 8 Sabrina wears a range of daring looks in her Manchild video Credit: instagram

Watch: Red Arrows soar over Northern Ireland for Armed Forces Day

The Royal Air Force aerobatic team, renowned for their precision flying and dramatic formations, made their only Northern Ireland appearance of the year today, with their display taking place at 2:15pm over the Co Down town. Armed Forces Day ran from 10:30am to 5:00pm and is free to attend. Organisers promised a packed programme, including air shows, live music, interactive STEM exhibits, and family-friendly activities, all celebrating the contribution of the Armed Forces community. Armed Forces Day provided a unique opportunity for the public to gain insight into the work of the UK Armed Forces and to show support for the entire military community — from active personnel and veterans to cadets and their families. The free event featured a packed schedule of activities designed to engage visitors of all ages, with this year's line-up described as one of the most impressive to date. Highlights included dazzling aerial displays by the Red Arrows, the Royal Air Force's Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, and The Falcons, the RAF's premier military parachute display team. On the ground, attendees had the chance to explore a range of military exhibits and equipment not typically accessible to the public, offering a rare behind-the-scenes look at life in the Armed Forces.
