‘I would never usually wear this’ admits Ireland AM star Muireann O’Connell as she rocks unique €70 blouse

IRELAND AM star Muireann O’Connell has admitted her latest TV look is not her “usual” style – but fans are all obsessed with the fashion risk.

The Virgin Media star was back on screens this morning for another jam-packed episode of the hit breakfast show.

Muireann, who is renowned for her trend-setting style, decided to try out a new aesthetic on air today.

The 41-year-old took to Instagram to share some snippets of herself getting all dolled up backstage before the show.

The Limerick beauty donned a beautiful €70 sheer cream blouse from Styled By Sarah Rackard and styled it with a figure-flattering pair of blue denim boot-cut jeans.

However, the Irish host revealed that she wasn’t too keen on the ruffled blouse at first and wrote in her caption: “I would never usually try something like this.”

The TV star confessed that the elegant top was inspired by British actress Sienne Miller, who is well-known for rocking the boho-chic look.

But, Muireann joked: “Sienna Miller’s style is to be admired never attempted but @styled_by_sarah_rickard left it in wardrobe so, gave it a go and loved it!”

Muireann really is a pro at making a trend wearable and this new elegant silhouette is sure to have fans racing to try it out.

True to form, the popular presenter shopped the high-street for her look adding a pair of snake skin boots from River Island.

And the Grey Faux Leather Snake Heeled Boots are currently on sale for just €18 – talk about a steal!

Of course, fans and friends all ran to the comment section to share their love for the star’s incredible fashion.

Siobhan wrote: “That’s stunning. Cream is beautiful on you.”

Kellie said: “Fabulous Muireann, I love the blouse.”

Maureen remarked: “I love every bit of this! I’m mad for the blouse.”

While Demela added: “You always look so fab.”

And Muireann was left laughing after her mum messaged while she was on air this morning to comment on her make-up.

The breakfast show host wrote in her caption: “My mother of course has a problem. Ever since I’ve started wearing a make up shade that matches my skin tone and not a Spanish senorita, she’s been a trolling me.”

Muireann then posted a screenshot of her WhatsApp conversation with her mum, Marie.

Marie wrote: “During the break put some lipstick on, you’re so pale.”

The host responded: “I’M SO PALE.”

Delight for hurling fans as TG4 swoop in to stream Cork vs Limerick league clash after backlash against RTE decision

TG4 WILL be broadcasting the Division 1A hurling league clash between Cork and Limerick after RTE defended its decision not to.

Pat Ryan’s men welcome the Treaty County to SuperValu Pairc Ui Chaoimh on Saturday evening.

On Wednesday afternoon, the Irish language broadcaster confirmed that it will be live streaming the game.

It will be in addition to the Division 1 football league encounter between Donegal vs Dublin, which TG4 will be covering on TV.

A statement said: “TG4 is delighted to confirm live coverage of the highly anticipated Round 2 Allianz Hurling League clash between Cork and Limerick from SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh, Cork.

“The action will be available to viewers across multiple platforms, with TG4’s live coverage beginning on the TG4 Player and TG4 App from 7:25pm on Saturday night, ahead of throw-in at 7:30pm.

“This exciting encounter will showcase two of hurling’s powerhouse counties as they battle it out under the lights in one of the standout fixtures of the Allianz Hurling League.

“For fans unable to tune in live, updates and stand-out scores will be available on @SportTG4 platforms across social media.

“The match will also be available in full on demand on the TG4 Player and App following the broadcast.

“Don’t miss this thrilling showdown – only on TG4.”

TG4 had requested permission from Croke Park to stream the game in the wake of controversy surrounding RTE’s decision not to televise it.

In the wake of fan backlash against the broadcaster not carrying it, a statement was released claiming that it had wanted to but the counties involved “could not accommodate.”

A post on Twitter read: “RTE sought Cork-Limerick in the Allianz Hurling League as our match selection a number of months ago but the counties could not accommodate.

“RTE subsequently chose Armagh-Tyrone.”

Cork GAA responded to that assertion on Tuesday afternoon.

The county board claimed that they had been asked to hold the game at an earlier time.

However, with it therefore coming into conflict with Ireland vs England in the Six Nations, they decided to retain the original throw-in time.

Their own statement read: “Cork GAA was informed some weeks ago that Cork v Limerick was not to be the chosen game by broadcasters at the appointed time on Saturday, February 1st at 7.30pm.

“We were not in a position to meet a subsequent request to change the game to an earlier time to facilitate the broadcast, as the alternative time clashed directly with the Ireland v England Rugby game and we sought not to deprive our own supporters of seeing both games.

“We remain deeply disappointed that our fixture will not be televised at the appointed time, but look forward to another spectacle with a packed house here at SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Saturday next.”

‘Sexual predator’ student, 27, ‘drugged & raped ten unconscious women then took videos to keep as chilling souvenirs’

A SEXUAL predator student drugged and raped ten unconscious women then took photos to keep as souvenirs, a court heard.

Zhenhao Zou is accused of “stupefying” the women using vast amounts of alcohol or drugs to render them incapacitated.

The 27-year-old would then carry out sex attacks, which he filmed to keep as “souvenirs”, jurors were told.

Inner London Crown Court heard Zou would watch the videos back for his “own private sexual gratification”.

The University College London is accused of carrying out the assaults between 2019 and 2023.

He denies 11 charges of rape on ten alleged victims, 12 of possession of an extreme pornographic images and three counts of voyeurism.

Zou is also charged with one of false imprisonment and eight counts of possession of a controlled drug with intent to supply.

The court heard he raped two of the women in London, while the other eight were at unknown locations in China.

Prosecutor Catherine Farrelly, KC, said: “To the outside world, Zhenhao Zou undoubtedly presents as a smart and charming young man.

“However, as you know from the indictment in this case which contains 35 allegations against him, the prosecution says that he is also a persistent sexual predator, a voyeur and a rapist.

“The prosecution case at this trial is that he would meet women, he would stupefy them, either with drink or drugs, and, once they were significantly under the influence of those drinks or drugs, he would then rape them.

“Often, he would record himself doing so. During this trial you will be shown several recordings which the prosecution says are the defendant’s souvenirs of the many rapes that he had committed – items that he kept for his own private sexual gratification, so that he could watch, at his leisure, his rapes of these women, who he had rendered often unconscious and totally vulnerable to his will.”

The court heard Zou is accused of raping ten women, although eight of these have not been identified by police.

The case is based on videos found on his mobile phone and two cameras also seized from his home.

One of the recordings showed Zou stood over a woman, who appeared “upset”.

Jurors heard he could be heard encouraging her to finish her drink as she begged to go home.

Ms Farrelly said: “She asks the defendant not to restrain her and tells him that he is controlling her.

“At one point in the recording, she can be heard screaming repeatedly and she appears to try and get up from the bed on several occasions, and the defendant pushes her back down each time.”

Zou claims some of the women were “role playing” and all consented to any footage taken of them.

He first came to UK in 2017 to study engineering at Queen’s University in Belfast.

In 2019, Zou began a master’s degree at University College London before beginning a PhD there in 2021.

He denies all 35 charges against him and the trial continues.

Enzo Fernandez ‘trying to fix romance with childhood sweetheart after discovering team-mate was trying to seduce her’

CHELSEA star Enzo Fernandez is trying to repair his romance with Valentina Cervantes after discovering an Argentina team-mate was trying to seduce her, it was sensationally claimed today.

The pair sparked reunion rumours last week after reportedly being spotted kissing and holding hands in London.

It emerged the pretty brunette was still in London and had yet to return to Argentina with their two children nearly a month after flying to the UK to “stay a few days.”

Eagle-eyed fans of Valentina, 24, welcomed the apparent reconciliation overnight after spotting two coffee cups in a photo the influencer posted on Instagram showing her having breakfast in a dressing gown on a hotel balcony opposite Rome’s Colosseum.

The footballer gave no clues about his whereabouts on his social media ahead of his club’s upcoming match next Monday against West Ham following their 3-1 defeat to Manchester City at the weekend.

But one of Valentina’s 2.4 million Instagram followers, hinting at the identity of her travel companion, said: “There are two coffees.. tell me Enzo is there as well.”

In an explosive claim about the midfielder’s apparent decision to backtrack on his decision, journalist Daniel Fava revealed yesterday it was linked to a move by another member of Argentina’s winning World Cup squad on Enzo’s long-time partner.

Fava said on TV show A la tarde: “In the last few hours there’s been a reconciliation with his ex-partner Valentina Cervantes. They’re giving things another go.”

He added: “The information I have is that Enzo Fernandez is desperately trying to win her back because he’s heard that a fellow world champion is sniffing around her.”

The Argentine journalist offered no further clues about the identity of the mystery player he was pointing the finger at, or whether he even knew his name.

After a colleague interrupted to say: “What you’re saying is that he prefers to get back with her than see another man jumping in,” he said of Valentina: “Today she’s prettier than ever.

“Since the separation she has gained a new sex appeal and energy” before making a second bombshell claim “more than one footballer” had contacted her over social media since the shock split.

Childhood sweetheart Valentina revealed late last month she would be jetting to London with their two children Olivia, four, and Benjamin, one, to see in the New Year with her ex after he told her he wanted to live alone and she returned to their homeland.

Enzo first fuelled rumours of a possible reconciliation by liking photos she posted last week showing off her curvaceous body in a pair of tight-fitting white leggings and crop top.

Argentine journalists began to claim the couple had decided to give love a second chance after they were ‘spotted’ being affectionate with each other during a visit to Selfridges.

Argentinian journalist Pepe Ochoa told TV programme LAM: “The reconciliation was in London. They are giving love a second chance.”

Speaking of their affectionate public display during a recent shopping trip, he said: “They were in Selfridges and went to buy things in Prada.

“A friend of mine saw them. They were holding hands and there was a kiss.

“He was with his dad and his youngest child. When people started to recognise them, she went one way and he stayed inside.”

Former law student Valentina announced the end of their relationship in late October by writing on Instagram: “With Enzo, today we decided to put space between us.

“But we will always be family and we will support each other in everything because there are two children in the middle who need a lot of our love for them.

“I know the person and the excellent father that Enzo is, and the heart he has and with that, I’m satisfied.

“Don’t try to create wars where there are none.”

In an interview with Argentine newspaper La Nacion last month where she revealed the New Year family reunion, Valentina admitted she and Enzo lived and slept together for another 10 days after he left her shell-shocked by telling her “from one day to the next” he didn’t want to be with her anymore.

Speaking of his decision to call time on their relationship, she added: “I think it was a combination of things on his part. He made the decision and I respected it. We have two children together.

“To this day, we try to have a good relationship, we try to share, so that the kids can continue living together.

“If you ask me what happened, I have nothing specific to tell you.

“I just think that he decided to focus 100 per cent on his career, on performing, on finding himself.

“He might not have been at his best as a player and tried to find it. Today, fortunately, things are going well for him. That’s why I’m also happy.”

Neither Enzo or Valentina have yet commented publicly on the reports they have decided to get back together.

But her Rome hotel breakfast snaps have left her Instagram followers in no doubt about their veracity.

One wrote: “If it works for you Valentina we support you. Rely on us always.”

Another said: “You’re beautiful and I’m happy you’re back with Enzo.”
Fernandez, who cost Chelsea £106million, has struggled to live up to his hefty price tag following his arrival at the club in January 2023 from Benfica.

South American outlet Sports has reported Real Madrid are planning on “going all out” to sign him from Chelsea.

It said the Spanish giants are keen on the midfielder and are willing to swap their own player Aurelien Tchouameni with the Blues to get their man.

ONE of the most iconic brides to come out of Married At First Sight Australia has announced she is set to be a mum for the second time.

Now 32, Lizzie – who was one of biggest personalities of season six – is pregnant with her second child with husband Alexander Vega.

The couple – who wed in 2023 – already have a daughter, who was born the same year they got married.

Now their family is set to expand further and this time they are having a boy.

Sharing their happy news, Lizzie wrote: “Just in my baby making era 😊🤰25 weeks today ❤. 2 under 2….. 😊 exactly what we wanted.”

Fans flocked to congratulate her, with one writing: “Amazing news! So happy for you guys”

While another wrote: “Looking glowing Lizzie! Congrats!”

This one said: “So pleased at this news!”

WIFE SWAP SCANDAL

Lizzie shot to fame in MAFS Oz in 2018 for season six, which was one of the most explosive series’ the franchise has ever aired.

But her marriage to Sam Ball ended in disaster, with him having an affair with Ines Basic.

Outraged viewers watched Ines and Sam cheat by spending the night together in a Gold Coast hotel room.

However, the controversial groom has since revealed the alleged affair was completely fake.

He claimed the romance was staged by producers after they forced him into a dark room and told him to make-up the romance.

Sam ranted on Instagram: “Thank you to all you guys in the UK enjoying the show because I’m about to ruin it for you.

“So the experts don’t pick the couples, the producers do. They have a list of people they have to find and approach them on Instagram and ask you to go on the show.

“I actually did apply to go on the show, that’s the funny part. But I know Elizabeth didn’t apply.”

SECOND SHOT AT MAFS

Elizabeth was invited back by producers for a second chance at finding love.

She returned as an intruder bride mid-way through production on season seven and decided to walk down the aisle once again in the hope of finding her happy ever after.

The star was matched with former AFL star and aspiring actor Seb Guilhaus this time round.

Their romance quickly blossomed, and the loved-up couple decided to stay together during the final vows ceremony.

After the show ended in April 2020, they announced plans to move to Sydney’s beachside suburb of Dee Why together. 

But the stars shocked fans when they amicably split in January 2021 but refused to reveal exactly why they called it quits.

Despite not being romantically involved, Seb defended his ex-girlfriend against online trolls in the wake of their split announcement.

BIG TIME INFLUENCER

Since launching to fame on MAFS Australia, she has become a star in her own right, with a legion of fans.

Lizzie is now a social media influencer and often advertises beauty products to her 380k Instagram followers.

Mafs couples that have stood the test of time

Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.

The pair couldn’t keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam’s Doncaster home.

Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.

Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.

Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: “I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out – and excited for everything to come.”

Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.

Owen recalled: “I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.

“While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.

“The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if I signed up?’

“A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.”

Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.

Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna’s vegan lifestyle, the show’s first same sex pairing are still going strong.

They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.

Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: “We’re not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship.”
