Fair City’s George McMahon has spoken about the time a fan of the show ‘lambasted’ him in a restaurant - over a storyline he was involved in.

The 36-year-old actor told the Daily Mirror of a story about how a crazed fan of the show labelled him a ‘cheating b****rd’ - a reference to a storyline that he was involved with at the time - while he was out for lunch with his wife Rachel Smyth.
