Sea Scare: Irish Popstar Gets Rescued by Speedboat While on Holiday with Family

The Saturdays singer Una Healy has come out and spoken about her sea scare while on holidays in the Algarve in Portugal with her family. 

Despite being a champion swimmer and even swimming for Ireland in her teens, Healy found herself in a spot of trouble while out at sea with her husband, Ben Foden.

“Ben and I did a spot of paddle boarding in the sea”, she said. “The first time we did it I did really well but on the second occasion the currents had really picked up and the tide was going out quickly.”

“I’m a really strong swimmer but I just couldn’t get myself back into the shore.”

The 31 year old and her husband had to be rescued by a hotel speedboat to bring them to safety.

“It was a bit scary but I had a life jacket on so I was safe” she said.

“Ben started to tow me in and then the hotel speedboat came to our rescue.”

Glad to hear that the family is safe.
