Cast member Ciara Callanan Ryan has described her as "a lovely lady".

It’s not her first time in Ireland. She has visited Dublin a number of times in recent years, and once took a tour of the Four Courts. She joked at the time that she was there “to make a little trouble”.

Judge Judy’s latest visit has caused quite a stir, with many fans expressing their excitement on Twitter.
