Jonothan recently released My Old School, a documentary about a former classmate, who managed to convince school officials that he was 16 despite being in his 30s.
In an interview for online magazine Queerty, Jonothan described his school days at Bearsden Academy, Glasgow, saying: ‘My experience was going to that school, keeping my head down, trying not to get bullied, trying not to get anyone finding out my secret – which was that I was a 16-year-old gay boy who desperately didn’t want anyone to know that.’
Several of Jonothan's friends mentioned on social media that they were in Cork last week, including Holby City star Dawn Steele and Shelly McErlaine, who wrote the music for My Old School.
Lulu also shared videos from Bantry House on Instagram as she enjoyed breakfast overlooking the manicured lawns.

The host remains private about his current relationship but he dated Trevor Patterson from 2011-2013.
He then went out with music marketing consultant Andrew Smith, who he split from in 2015.
Graham grew up in Bandon and regularly heads back to west Cork where he has been busy recording his Virgin Radio UK show.

According to the website, Bantry House and Garden is a stately home situated on the Wild Atlantic Way overlooking Bantry Bay in the south west of Ireland.
'The House has been home to the Whites, since 1739 and was opened to the public in 1946.
'The Estate is a popular wedding and events venue and visitors can explore the formal garden, visit the House, enjoy a picnic basket from our Tearoom, have Afternoon Tea in the Library and stay in the East Wing.'
MailOnline has contacted a spokesperson for Graham for comment.
Talking to the Sunday Mirror back in 2015, Graham said that he felt it would be easier to find someone if he was straight, explaining: 'This will sound sexist but that doesn't mean it's any less true.
'If I were a straight man, my female partner would have a role in the eyes of society. She would be the mother of my children, my hostess, the person on my arm at red carpet events. She would have a defined function.
'But that's not the case if your partner is male. Every man – no matter how young or fey – has something of the alpha in him.'
He added that his ex-boyfriends have previously ended up 'loathing' attending events with him because they hadn't 'earned it for themselves'.
