@ Nathan, in response to your, “no i dont think so ther ebe just as many english there as there is hear” comment. That’s impossible. There’s only like, 6.5 Million people in Ireland. o.o Common sense? :/ And to claim Irish citizenship, their grandparent would be obviously Irish by blood as well as by nationality.
It’s not that difficult to believe.. If you go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_people
You’ll see that the total population of Irish people is estimated around 80,000,000.
14,000,000 of them are in the UK.
Hope you’ve learned something.

From a British site too. El oh el.

It’s just a hair and eye colour.. /:

@ Frank, I read that exact fact in my homework journal today!! xD
I’m from the South-East of Ireland :O
Also, will her name be changed to ‘Cheryl Tweedy’ anytime soon? :/ Y’know, with the separation and all.
Tweedy is a common name in the south east of Ireland and her mother’s maiden name is Callahan also Irish. She is from a large catholic family, so it’s pretty clear that she is of Irish ethnicity. Most English Catholics are of Irish origin, while 1/4 of English people have an Irish grandparent, most common in the major cities.
Her folks are descendants of Irish immigrants. English is NOT a nationality, it is an ethnicity, after the Angles (Engle), a Germanic tribe. England’s named after them
Yes, Fake Tan. She Was Pale Skinned Before Fame. She Still Had Brown Eyes & Hair Though. (Common Traits In Many British People)
no thats just fake tan

lots of people from the north east have scottish, borders or irish surnames, although that doesnt mean to say thats theres no english in there either
@ Nathan, English is her nationality, Irish and Scottish is her ethnicity.

Just going off her father’s and mother’s surnames.
