One pub worker said: "When she came to the door I was going to charge her half price because she looked that young.

"I didn't even know who it was, she looked so small and petite I honestly thought she was in her early teens."

Sarah Jessica sipped half pints of Guinness and tapped her feet to the traditional Irish music before making her exit at 12.30am.

But she was back on the town again the following night.

A source close to the star explained: "She loves coming to Donegal because nobody ever bothers her.

"She's spending a few more days here and then flying back to London where her husband is doing a stage show."
