Records show the property was bought in 2018 for £1.4m, which means O’Sullivan could make a tidy profit from the sale.
The 3,000 square feet property is listed for £2m and is currently lived in by Laila, with O’Sullivan staying at a bachelor pad nearby.
And it appears they are over for good after placing the house up for sale.
A source told the Daily Mail: “Their friends had been hoping they would get back together as they had split before and re-united.
“But they have decided today to sell their home and that really does signal a definitive end to their relationship.
“They looked good together wherever they went and had many happy times in that house. But it’s all over now and they both recognise that.”
The house also contains three bathrooms, a wine cellar and a spacious garden.

It is a stone’s throw from O’Sullivan’s favourite running stomping ground Epping Forest and has excellent transport links to central London, being situated ten minutes from a Central Line station.
A friend revealed the seven-time world champion is settled in his new pad, which contains a snooker table.
They said: “They had some very happy years there, Ronnie was successful in his snooker and Laila was in some great TV dramas like Footballers Wives and Life isn’t all Ha Ha Hee Hee.
“They are selling the house together. It’s all agreed and should work out financially without any problems.
“Ronnie has a new place and has got himself a snooker table there.”

THE viral ‘Dubai chocolate’ bar has caused a major frenzy among chocoholics – and demand for the sweet treat has “skyrocketed” in Ireland.
Sugar Plum Sweetery, based in Westmeath, has created its own Dubai Chocolate Bars.
We put the viral bar to the testCOLLECTA Mullingar-based chocolatier has released their own Dubai Chocolate BarSugar Plum SweeteryFans can’t get enough of the cocoa treatSugar Plum SweeteryMaster chocolatiers are now working 24 hours a day to meet demandSugar Plum Sweetery
The “Dubai chocolate” trend gained momentum on social media platforms like TikTok, captivating dessert enthusiasts worldwide.
Knafeh, a traditional Arab dessert, gives the Dubai chocolate a nice crunch.
We put Sugar Plum Sweetery’s Irish-made viral Dubai Chocolate bars, costing €9.95, to the test.
The clear wrapping reveals the chunky chocolate with green, gold and glitter detail.
Munching into the chocolatey goodness, the viral cocoa bar certainly lived up to its reputation.
I was pleasantly surprised as the pistachio wasn’t as overpowering as I imagined.
The pistachio, crunchy kataifi pastry, tahini, and the creamy milk chocolate were a dream.
Its unique flavours reminded me of a Ferrero Roche and Kinder Bueno blend.
And the combination of the filling and chocolate ratio was just right.
I filled up quickly on this lush bar but couldn’t stop myself reaching for more.
It’s the perfect choice for chocolate lovers who need a different indulgence.
The award winning Irish Chocolatier said the “absolutely scrumptious” chocolate delivers an “unparalleled taste experience”.
They said: “The most scrumptious handmade viral Dubai Chocolate Bars made using the most premium ingredients including pistachio and kataifi pastry by your favourite Irish chocolatier.
“Try it here in Ireland, even better than the original Dubai Chocolate Bar.”
Owner Denise Buckley said the demand for this bar is “unlike anything” they’ve ever seen.
She said: “Orders have skyrocketed by over 500 per cent, and people are reordering in bulk.
“The feedback has been phenomenal — people are absolutely in love with this bar.”
WHERE TO BUY
The Dubai Chocolate Bar is set to exclusively launch at Avoca Stores in the coming weeks.
For now customers can find the bar stocked in their Mullingar store or order it online.
A large team of master chocolatiers are now working 24 hours a day to produce this liquid gold.
They have had to triple the size of their team over the last two months to keep up with demand
And they’ve even dropped 10- and 20-bar multipacks to keep up with the insatiable demand.
For those who may prefer a little less pistachio, their Bueno Bliss Bar, costing €4.95, oozes with a creamy hazelnut filling.
Those who like a little sweet and savoury, the homemade salted caramel frogs, retailing at €8.95, will take you on a trip down memory lane.
The Mullingar based chocolate factory and sweet shop, which opened in 2022, has caused a major stir on TikTok.
Sugar Plum Sweetery’s Denise and David Buckley said: “Inspired by the magic of Willy Wonka and the nostalgia of childhood wonder, we embarked on a quest to craft extraordinary chocolates that were not just unique but exclusive to our sweetery.
“And there’s more…hidden within the packaging of some of our products are Golden Tickets!
“Yes, just like Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory, we’ve added these tickets randomly, waiting for you to discover. If you’re the lucky finder of one of these Golden Tickets, you’re in for a treat.”

1 week agoNews 1Comments Off on Eagle-eyed Apple fan spots ‘clever’ HIDDEN secret in three iPhone wallpapers – but can you see it too?
A SAVVY Apple fan has spotted a “clever” hidden secret in the official iPhone wallpapers.
The Easter egg is carried across Apple’s latest three models: iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Pro, and the new iPhone 16e.
The iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16, and iPhone 16e, all lined up – can you spot the trend?AppleApple / The SunThese are the three iPhone 16 series wallpapers viewed close up[/caption]
The shiny new gadget is the cheapest of the lot, coming in at £599 / $599.
And this fresh addition means that there’s a fun design treat in the design of the wallpapers.
The discovery was made by a Reddit user, who admitted: “Didn’t even notice it until Apple lined up all three phones next to each other.”
They revealed: “Each iPhone 16 model’s wallpaper is inspired by the number of camera lenses it has.
“I think it’s pretty cool how the abstract wallpapers for each iPhone 16 model cleverly reference the camera lenses they have.”
Once you notice it, you won’t be able to forget it.
Plain as day, the iPhone 16e has a single camera – and one big circle on its wallpaper.
Then there’s the iPhone 16, with its two vertically stacked cameras. Its wallpaper? Two circles, one above the other.
And for the iPhone 16 Pro, with a triangle arrangement for its three cameras, we get a similar tribute: three circles, overlapping but slightly offset.
Other Apple fans found themselves impressed by the discovery, which had been hiding in plain sight for months.
After all, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro were announced back in September 2024.
One Reddit user joked about giving the eagle-eyed fan a virtual “like”, saying: “Take your upvote.”
Another said: “Woah, I didn’t even notice it!”

OTHER HIDDEN IPHONE SECRETS TO SPOT
Apple fans will know that the iPhone is packed with plenty of clever visual secrets.
For instance, take a look at your iPhone’s Clock app. Don’t tap it – just check out the symbol on your Home Screen.
You might have missed this: the icon is actually a working clock that’s telling the real time.

It’s not just on the main Home Screen, either. It’ll even work if you’re looking at the icon through the drag-down Home Screen search.
It’s the same story for the Calendar app, which will show you today’s date correctly.
Now take a look at the Apple Maps icon. Notice anything interesting?
It’s actually a cut-out of the real map from Cupertino, California, where Apple’s HQ is based.

In fact, you can see the giant ring-shaped Apple Park campus in the top-right corner.
Next, head into the Control Centre (swipe down from the top-right corner) to look at the torch icon.
If you tap it, it’ll change colour to show that the torch is lit up.
But if you look closely, you’ll also notice that the tiny button on the torch moves to signal that it’s switched on. Neat.
