British billionaire Richard Branson certainly left a lasting impression with Sinead Kennedy.
The popular RTE presenter (30) was hosting a Q&A with the Virgin founder at the RDS in Dublin yesterday, marking the rebranding of UPC as Virgin Media.
And the Winning Streak host got the shock of her life when he quite literally swept her off her feet yesterday at the end of their interview.
He's no stranger to picking up celebrities like a sack of spuds having hoisted burlesque artiste Dita Von Teese over his shoulder to showcase ten years of his airline's flights to Las Vegas in 2010.

Later that year, he did the same with Australian singer Delta Goodrem.
In 2009, he posed with supermodel Kate Moss outside a jumbo jet at Heathrow airport and as early as 2004, he was also photographed carrying model Ashleigh Warwick on Sydney's Bondi Beach to promote Virgin Atlantic's London to Australia route.
