Domino’s and Cadbury are teaming up again to bring back their famous Creme Egg cookies next week.

Starting Monday, February 24, you’ll be able to get your hands on the treat.

And Domino’s Ireland said this isn’t just any cookie, it’s a warm, gooey creation with a Cadbury Creme Egg wrapped in their signature cookie dough.

Baked to perfection, each bite delivers that rich, creamy centre found in a Creme Egg.

These cookies come in pairs, so there’s plenty to share with family and friends just in time for Easter.

Head of Marketing at Domino’s Ireland Eoin Corrigan said they were an instant hit last year and they’re sure to be just as popular this time around.

He said: “There’s a reason Domino’s Cookies made with Cadbury Creme Egg are back for the second year in a row. 

“They were an instant hit last year, and we know you’ll love them just as much this time around.

“This partnership is a match made in dessert heaven. Combining our iconic cookies with the gooey delight of Cadbury Creme Egg creates an indulgent experience like no other.

“This is a delicious reunion not to be missed.”

You can grab them online,through the Domino’s app, or in stores across the country for €6.99, but don’t wait too long.

This limited-edition treat will only be available from February 24 to April 20, so make sure you don’t miss out.

Cadbury also revealed new bars with special wrappers earlier this week.

The chocolate giants shared a short video on Instagram for their followers showing the huge reveal.

They wrote: “So, who’s getting the bigger piece then?”

“The new limited-edition Cadbury Dairy Milk bars are available in stores now.”

The video shows the new bars, with a range of different sayings written on them.

And the bars are split into different sections – one large piece, one medium-sized and a smaller one.

Cadbury added that these bars are “made to share”.

Limited-edition bars

The first bar says ‘Who cooked’ in the larger section, ‘Who cleaned’ in the middle section, and ‘Who ate’ in the smallest section.

Another bar has two sections; the larger one says, ‘Who woke up with no duvet,’ and the smaller one says, ‘Who woke up with all the duvet’.

A third bar has three sections, with the larger one saying ‘Who drove’, the middle one saying, ‘Who navigated’ and the smallest one saying ‘Who slept’.

The next bar has two sections: the larger one reads, ‘Who updates the shared calendar,’ and the smaller one reads, ‘Who goes along to the things’.

ROSANNA Davison has opened up on the “difficult time” her family experienced after her mum’s shock cancer diagnosis.

The Irish model’s mum, Diane, was diagnosed with blood cancer back in 2022 and after about a year of treatment got the good news that she was in “complete remission”.

Rosanna told how the year of her mum’s cancer diagnosis was “strange” for the whole family

The 40-year-old told RSVP: “My mum was going through chemotherapy in 2023. That was a strange year for the family. She always felt that it was caught very early, through routine bloods.”

The mum-of-three admitted that the period of time was “probably more difficult” for everyone around her mum as they had to “watch her go through it and lose her hair“.

The Dublin beauty has always had a lovely bond with her mum and ever since she started a family of her own, Diane has been on hand to help.

The former Miss World told People & Culture: “She was over every day. Helping with bedtime. She was amazing, such a support. She wasn’t really able to see the children last year because she had to be very careful of her immune system.”

Rosanna explained how her three kids would sit outside while her mum sat at her kitchen window and chatted to them.

She added: “It was strange for the children, but I think that they probably won’t remember too much about last year.”

The Irish star told how Diane was particularly nervous about how Rosanna’s kids would react to her hair loss.

Rosanna said: “Initially, she shaved it and then she lost it, but they just said, ‘Oh, Ga’s got short hair’. They call her Ga instead of granny. That was fine. They moved on. It gave her the confidence then.”

Fortunately, Rosanna and her family were left relieved in Christmas 2023 when Diane was told she was in remission from her illness.

Meanwhile, Rosanna recently shared the honest reality of “mum life” with a hilarious post about the aftermath of lunchtime with toddlers.

The model has three kids under the age of four Sophia, four, and twins Hugo and Oscar, three.

Rosanna took to Instagram to share a snippet of herself discovering a piece of her toddlers food in her bra.

The TV star humorously captioned the post: “Mum life: finding a bit of biscuit in your bra and eating it anyways.”

NOT SO ROSIE

In the short clip, Rosanna could be seen walking down her hallway at home while scrolling through social media.

She then stopped dead in her tracks and gave a confused look as she began to pat her chest.

Rosanna then reached into her top and pulled out a piece of biscuit which had fallen in there.

The Dublin native hilariously stared at the food before shrugging her shoulders and throwing it into her mouth.

Rosanna jokingly confessed: “Bits of cracker and toast have been found in my bra, bed, and even in the shower.”

A GRAN who thought she was suffering from hay fever ended up losing her eye and now has a permanent orange-sized hole in her face.

Melanie Wellings, 63, was plagued by “classic” allergy symptoms such as a runny nose, watery eyes and sneezing.

Little did she know they were a sign of a cancer so rare it affects fewer than one in a million people.

Mel first started experiencing the symptoms during the Covid-19 pandemic, putting them down to hay fever despite never suffering from the condition before.

When she got a nosebleed months later, the career-woman decided to get her streaming eyes and nose checked out by a doctor.

After being referred to a consultant, Mel was diagnosed sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNMM).

The 63-year-old, from Stonehouse in Gloucestershire, was told by doctors in 2021 that she was the only person in the UK currently living with the rare and aggressive cancer.

Mel underwent a number of operations, removing skin from the side of her nose to her mouth and eventually her eye, after it was revealed that the cancer had invaded it.

She now lives with a permanent hole in her face, the size of a small orange.

Despite her gruelling treatment, Mel’s cancer kept returning and she was told by doctors in 2023 that there was nothing more they could do.

The grandma-of-one says she’s giving herself to science so that people diagnosed with SNMM in the future will have better treatment options.

She’s also backing a call from Cancer Research UK (CRUK) for people to to help beat cancer for generations to come by leaving a gift to the charity in their will. 

Melanie said: “It came as such a shock to be told I had cancer let alone one so rare.

“I’d had no pain, just runny eyes, runny nose, sneezing and eventually a nosebleed.

“Unfortunately, I know my time is limited but my doctors are learning from me every day and research has given me more time with my family.

“I will try anything and everything to stay alive. I want to be able to help others like me in the future and hope others will too by leaving a gift in their will.”

Mel first noticed hay fever-like symptoms in 2020 and grew concerned when they lingered for months on end.

She said: “I’d had all the classic signs like a runny nose, runny eyes and sneezing and when I was still experiencing them in September, my friend urged me to get checked.

“Shortly afterwards I was woken in the middle of the night by a nosebleed so booked in to see the doctor.

“Despite it being lockdown, the GP called me in and when they looked up my nose, they immediately referred me to a consultant who saw me within a fortnight.”

The consultant “didn’t like what he saw” and booked Mel in for surgery at Gloucester Hospital to remove polyps and “concerning” tissue on her face, which was sent off to be analysed.

The only way we could eradicate and control my disease was to lose my eye, but I was willing to do that just to live

Melanie Wellings

Mel said: “I knew it must be serious because he said how much he disliked delivering bad news and then apologised for having to tell me that I had cancer.

“I looked at my son, Tom, and I wasn’t upset at first. We were both more shocked as I just never expected it to be cancer.

“I was then referred to an ENT specialist who wanted to perform more surgery to ensure all the cancer was removed.

“I had a big operation, cutting down the side of my nose to my mouth, and they removed all of the cancer.

“I had 100 stitches and it took three days to remove them all.

“It was soon confirmed that I had a very rare cancer called SNMM and they believed I was the only case of its kind in the UK.

“Due to its rarity and aggressive nature, treatment options are limited.”

‘Not ready to give up’

Sadly, this wasn’t the end of the road for Mel, as it was later revealed the cancer had spread to her eye.

She said: “The surgery meant I was cancer free for around 15-months, but a follow-up MRI scan revealed that the cancer had returned, attaching my eye to the surrounding bone.

“I tried immunotherapy, a treatment that supercharges the immune system to kill cancer cells, but it wasn’t suitable for me.

“The only way we could eradicate and control my disease was to lose my eye, but I was willing to do that just to live.

“The operation took 11 hours for the surgeons to remove as much cancer as they safely could, taking several skin grafts and veins from my arm to rebuild my face. I was in intensive care for around three days.

“Unfortunately, the cancer returned again which meant further surgery and this time the skin grafts didn’t take.

“I now have a permanent hole in my face where my eye socket is. I’ve tried a prosthetic to keep it covered but find it more comfortable to wear a soft gauze.

“It’s been difficult getting used to my new appearance, especially as I’ve always really taken care of how I look.

“I have lost my taste and smell so the enjoyment of food has gone away but I’m not ready to give up.”

Helping others

Having undergone six surgeries and tried immunotherapy, Mel was told by doctors in 2023 that “there was nothing more that could be done”.

With “no options left”, Mel – who’s mum to Tom, 30, grandma to Amelia, three and has another granddaughter due in March – turned to radiotherapy.

She said: “When doctors discovered the cancer was active again, we introduced radiotherapy to try to stop it in its tracks.

“I had treatment five days a week for six weeks and it’s bought me an extra 14 months so far to make memories with my family and to hopefully see my new granddaughter arrive this spring.”

The nan received some much needed good news after her most recent scans showed her cancer hasn’t grown since August.

“I’m grateful for some good news and the extra time I’ve been given,” she said.

“I’ve also put myself forward for any clinical trials that I could be suitable for that may give me more time but ultimately, I want to help anyone else who may find themselves in my shoes.”

Now she’s calling for other to donate to CRUK in their wills, which will help the charity invest in pioneering trials and long-term research projects that could find new ways to outsmart cancer and save lives across the UK.

Mel stressed: “Advances in research mean people are being diagnosed earlier, have access to kinder and more effective treatments and some cancers are prevented completely.”

CRUK spokesperson for the South West, Elisa Mitchell, said: “We’re grateful to Melanie for helping to raise awareness.

“Our scientists have played a role in around half of the world’s essential cancer drugs, led the development of chemotherapy and radiotherapy and paved the way for targeted treatments.

“This all adds up to more precious moments for people affected by cancer and their loved ones. But we must go further and faster.  

 “Nearly one in two of us will get cancer in our lifetime. All of us can support the research that will beat it.

“We’re working towards a world where everybody lives longer, better lives, free from the fear of cancer and gifts in wills are vital to making this a reality.”

This is the police area of Cleveland – the UK’s most crime ridden borough with 128.5 offences per 1000 people.

New figures from the Office of National Statistics (ONS) showed it to be the most dangerous place to live in the country.

And residents have told how they are terrorised by “feral” gangs of kids, making them too afraid to venture out at night.

Local David Liddell, a 58-year-old carer, told The Sun: “The crime figures are no surprise to me at all. Knife crime here is horrific.

“One of our carers was the victim of an attack so now we have to double up. There were three lads outside a house waiting.

“Since then two carers have got to go in together in case one needs to call for help.

“The council have to foot the bill so it’s doubling the price for them. There’s loads of bikes, quad bikes, drugs runners.”

Hemlington is a housing estate built round a man-made lake.

It was the scene of a horrific attack on a police officer at the end of 2023 where the officer was set upon by a gang and injured so badly he had to leave the force.

Five men were jailed for a total of 20 years for the violence, which left the officer with PTSD.

But David fears police have little way of stopping such crimes unfold.

“The police don’t do anything,” he said. “Even if they’re watching they don’t do anything at all.

“They can’t stop them on a motorbike. They’re not allowed to. They can’t chase them. The drugs are rife.

“We need more police but I am not quite sure what they would do anyway.”

The carer said he knows someone who had a car dumped outside of their house.

But although it had “been wrecked” he claims little was done to resolve the matter.

“They had broken it up and taken the parts,” David explained. “The police towed it away but they didn’t investigate. It’s crazy.

“During the day it’s not too bad. You have a lovely lake and some nice residents.

“It’s when it falls dark. The drug runners come out. No one walks along here. It’s scary.

“It’s a no-go area. I hadn’t heard about the police officer who was attacked. It doesn’t surprise me though.”

Joyce Sturdy and friend Sharon Nicholson are both grandmothers who use mobility scooters.

And as they stopped to chat to our reporter about what it’s like to live in Hemlington two young lads on scooters yelled: “Gangsta grannies!”

Sharon, who was walking her dogs Eddie and Beau, rolled her eyes and said: “See what we mean?”

Joyce, 74, told The Sun: “We have a lot of youth hanging around here at night time round the lake.

The police don’t do anything. Even if they’re watching they don’t do anything at all.

David Liddell

“People come round the estate on their motorbikes. It doesn’t surprise me that it’s the worst.

“A lot of respect has gone. You can’t chastise children anymore. There’s no discipline.”

The retired school cook added: “You’re not allowed to do anything. We have become too soft as a society.

“They have taken power away from the police as well. I have lived here 30 odd years.

“I used to live in a house which backed onto a hill. The children would all play together.

“We’d walk them to school together. The parents would get together. You don’t see any of that now.”

Sharon, a 63-year-old retired driving instructor, agreed, insisting: “All the kids want to do is wreck everywhere.

“They are pulling fences down. They are burning the bins. The kids are feral.

“A lot of the youngsters are doing it because the bigger ones are getting them to do it.

“We don’t feel safe here. I never used to bring my phone with me but I worry something might happen so I do now.”

All the kids want to do is wreck everywhere.

Sharon Nicholson

Sharon said she no longer goes out at night, with the added fear the cops might not be able to help if something happens.

“After 5pm we stay inside,” she said. “The police seem powerless. They never come out.

“They do not have the resources. But then again if there was a bigger police presence it could instigate more trouble.”

The women claim taxis and buses won’t travel down Cass House Road, where the officer was attacked, at night out of fear of getting bricked.

Anthony Bass, 67, a retired marine diver, added: “There is a lot of trouble.

“We have motorbikes fleeing from here and into the estate over there and the police chasing after them.

“We also have quad bikes running about. We had a motorcycle with three little boys on it with ninja masks.

“The lady in the post office has had to lock her door because she’s been robbed so many times.

“It frightened a lot of the older people and the shopkeepers. It’s a bit disconcerting to say the least.”

Anthony said he is “not really surprised by the figures,” and that “crime goes where the poor people are”.

“They have got nothing so it’s nothing to them to take things that don’t belong to them,” he said.

My partner tells me not to take my wallet in case I get mugged.

Anthony Bass

“A police presence would be nice especially when people are frightened. 

“Even just a bobby walking around especially given the crime figures.

“I would come here at night but my partner has said there’s no way she would.

“The lake was built as a recreational area but when you have people too scared to go there something is wrong. 

At the other end of Middlesbrough, on the notorious housing estate of Brambles Farm, it is a similar story.

It was here that in December 2023, vulnerable 50-year-old Glenna Siviter was murdered for her jewellery by Andrew Hall. 

The 47-year-old is now serving life for murder and the attempted murder of a separate victim.

Retired construction worker Ronald Smith, 78, said: “I wouldn’t have said it was the worst.

“There’s some nice people around here. We’ve been here a long time. It’s only a certain few who spoil it.

I wouldn’t come out at night. That’s when the gangs come out.

Charlie Mangan

“The kids have nowhere to go. But they should know better.”

Meanwhile 24-year-old mum-of-two said wouldn’t dare to “come out at night” as “that’s when the gangs come out”.

Charlie, who is mum to seven-month-old baby Teddy, and three-year-old Noah, says she walks the streets with her kids during the day but “not on an evening”.

“Kids these days are vile,” she said. “They scream and shout. It’s all the kids causing the problems.

“We see street wardens, but not the police. I would feel safer if I saw the police more often.

“Walking around the estate on a night is creepy. You don’t know what’s on the streets these days. It’s scary. 

“You hear about people being chased and stabbed. You think ‘what if I go out and get chased?’

“You don’t know what’s round the corner. If you might get stabbed or attacked.”

The Sun has reached out to Middlesborough Council – responsible for Hemlington and Brambles Farm areas – for comment.

A LAND Rover from a James Bond movie could be yours, and its a steal for petrol heads.

The Land Rover Defender 110 V8 featured in the 2021 release No Time to Die – Daniel Craig’s last outing as 007.

The eye-catching 4×4 features in a thrilling car chase across Norway as a fleet of Defenders try to track down Bond who is behind the wheel of a Toyota Land Cruiser.

And next month, a 2021 Land Rover Defender 110 V8 Bond Edition is set to go under the hammer to commemorate the motor’s role in the franchise’s 25th movie.

The vehicle is one of only 300 produced, and is manufactured in right-hand drive for UK based motorists.

The Defender is poised to fetch around £150,000 – a steal given its quality and association.

Its new owner will also enjoy 5.0-litre supercharged petrol engine which produces 518bhp, allowing it to clock a top speed of 149mph.

An all-black bodywork, 22-inch alloy wheels, and blue brake callipers all provide a classy and imposing aesthetic.

The interior boasts an infotainment systefitted with a custom start-up screen to commemorate Land Rover’s long-lasting relations with the Bond franchise.

And with a measly 384 miles on the clock, the squeaky clean motor will serve its new owner well for years to come.

Pricing is estimated between £129,000 and £150,000 and the motor will go to auction on March 1 with Historic Auctioneers.

“When filming began for Craig’s final outing in ‘No Time to Die’ in 2019, a spectacular and, for a Bond film, very muddy, chase sequence was scheduled for Norway featuring a trio of all-new Defenders with their 518bhp supercharged 5.0 litre petrol V8s,” the listing reads.

“However, due to demands for multiple cars and the fact that car production had only just begun, they weren’t quite ready.

“Shot later, with Aviemore in Scotland impersonating Norway, we were treated to the magnificent introduction of three airborne 110 Defenders finished menacingly in black.

“Whilst we naturally cheered for Bond, the Defenders’ speed and endurance were to be the best advert for the new car.

“We understand that just 15 examples were delivered to selected UK dealerships, after customers were carefully selected to place an order. This very special car was one of the ten examples supplied as a 110 to the UK, the other five being the 90.

“This ‘as new’ with little over delivery mileage example is collectors’ grade and being one of just 10 110 editions it is believed to be the lowest if not one of the lowest mileage examples in existence.

“Priced competitively with the new OCTA and V8 Land Rover 110’s on the market, this represents not only a well-priced ‘new car’ but also a fantastic Bond or Land Rover collector example. Full details can still be found online here with Land Rover.

“A rare opportunity to own what is a fantastic car, with a fantastic engine and produced in such numbers it will surely be a very collectable example of an appreciating asset.”

It comes after an Aston Martin DB5 was put up for sale for an eye-watering £3.3 million.

The rare 2021 Continuation Goldfinger model is one of just 25 models ever made.

The motor which is not currently street legal has an abundance of gizmos like those used by 007 on the silver screen.

It has just 30 miles on the clock and is equipped with 4.0-litres inline six with triple SU carburetors.

The DB5 is kitted out with two imitation Browning 30 caliber machine guns hidden behind the indicator lamps.

“We are working closely with Kilmarnock Football Club and Police Scotland to fully investigate. 

“Any supporter with further information is asked to contact the club.

“We are a proud family club and reiterate that there is no place for discrimination in our game or anywhere in society.” 

A Kilmarnock statement echoed their opponents’.

It read: “We are working closely with St Johnstone FC and Police Scotland after being made aware of an allegation of racist abuse in the away end during Saturday’s game.

“Discrimination will not be tolerated in any form at BBSP Stadium, Rugby Park.”

SHE’S a 10-year-old internet sensation with more than a million fans on Instagram.

From chocolate cake to lentil soup and homemade bread, Renad Attallah creates recipes with the most basic of ingredients.

Children have seen their whole neighbourhoods destroyed in the conflict[/caption]

But watching the chatty youngster, who dreams of opening her own restaurant, it’s hard to imagine how she gets her videos out at all – because her backdrop is the concrete rubble of war-torn Gaza.

Renad is one of around 94,000 children whose playground has become a sea of devastated buildings and bomb sites.

As Israel wages war against Hamas after the October 7 attacks – which claimed the lives of 1200 innocent people – children in Gaza face unimaginable horror, living cheek by jowl in apartments and tents as missiles fly in the skies above.

Renad features in a new BBC2 documentary, Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone, which tells the story of the conflict through the eyes of children.

As politicians try to find solutions to hold on to the current delicate ceasefire, Renad along with 13-year-old Abdullah and 11-year-old Zakaria tell how they have coped with the war – witnessing bombs and death as well as losing family.

Renad, who lives in the designated safe zone, told The Sun: “From my wider family more than six people have been killed, babies, parents and older relatives.

“I made a video with one of my family but didn’t post it after they were killed in the north.

“One of the most terrifying moments was when a neighbour’s house was bombed at 2am and some of the displaced people were injured. 

“I am scared, with all the news around the ceasefire, that it might not hold and war will return.”

When the war began, Renad was already living in the area which Israel determined a safe zone but dozens of displaced relatives began arriving and, at one point, 300 people were living in the family’s four floor home.

Renad, who has to rely on parcels of food aid to make her traditional Gazan recipes, said: “I had some engagement with school online and that’s how I understood my friends were alive.

“It’s been hard because one day we went three days without enough water but everyone around me was living the same way, facing the same things.

“Whenever I feel stressed or worried I cook and if I am afraid I look at the positive comments I get on social media and it makes me feel better.”

At one point in the film, which follows the kids shortly after the start of war, Renad gives a nervous giggle as she tells how a bomb went off close to her without going off – only for a second to land nearby which detonated it.

Renad grew so used to explosions she stopped being scared[/caption]

As the months roll on, viewers see Renad become hardened to the terrors of the conflict when explosions go off and she says: “We’re not afraid. We’re used to it.

“At the start of the war, even in daytime, every bomb terrified me (but now), not even in the middle of the night am I scared.

“We all think about the war, how we will survive each day and get through it.

“You have to find something to distract you from the constant pressure and I love creating food content.”

‘Hiding in the ground’

The documentary is narrated by 13-year-old Abdullah whose opening line is: “Have you ever wondered what you’d do if your world was destroyed?”

It shows thousands of Gazans fleeing their homes at the beginning of the war, carrying bags and children in their arms, mattresses on their heads and one woman even drags her small son behind her in a shopping basket.

Another shouts ‘May God curse you Sinwar”, in reference to the Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, the architect of the attack on Israel.

A toothless man tells the cameraman: “They’ve (Israel) killed our children, killed our women while Sinwar is hiding under the ground.”

Teenager Abdullah, an eloquent, intelligent boy who was educated at an English-speaking school, describes how getting water “is a very hard task”, saying: “Everything has changed. 

“I was in the best school in Gaza, a British school in the north…now I’m living here (in the safe zone) in a tent.”

Abdullah tells how the safe zone was hit by a massive bomb in the Israeli battle against Hamas terrorists.

He said: “I was sleeping and heard the bombing and we got covered in dirt. The smell was horrible. The camp was filled with tents, they got buried underground.

“It’s indescribable, 19 people were killed. When we saw body parts we couldn’t speak and felt sick. They (Israel) said it was a secret room for Hamas.”

Hospital bombing

The film also features eleven-year-old Zakaria who tends to the wounded and dying at Shuhada al-Aqsa hospital.

He is seen escorting badly injured, bloodied patients from the back of ambulances after leaving his home to help.

Zakaria says: “When I hear the ambulance sound I get people out of the way and I tell them there is a very serious injury.

“I help transport the dead, the injured, the kids. I love helping people. I’m not scared.”

Zakaria is looked after by hospital paramedic Said, who took the youngster under his wing as he refused to go home.

When the hospital was bombed in October last year as the Israeli air force targeted a Hamas command centre, killing five and injuring at least 70, Said was one of the few paramedics who remained behind to help despite evacuation orders.

He said: “Headphones (music ) are the most important things that help me escape the war, the hospital gloom, the bombings, the dead and the injured.

“Zakaria loves the hospital more than anything else. He works tirelessly, he pushes a stretcher at least eight times a day.

“I sometimes forget he is just a child, it’s weird.”

The documentary is one of the few that records daily life for Gazans after Israel banned international press from visiting the country without the military.

Co-producers Jamie Roberts and Yousef Hammash, who comes from Gaza, directed two local cameramen inside the war zone over nine months to make the unique documentary inside the humanitarian safe zone.

Yousef told The Sun: “I left Gaza a few weeks before we started the film and the biggest challenge we faced was the logistics and how to deal with daily communication issues.

“We wanted to make a film on the ground that felt real, something that wasn’t recorded on phones, but shot properly.”

Yousef said it was important to tell the story of war through the lens of kids because half of Gaza’s population are children.

He said: “They are one hundred percent in survival mode, their window of thinking is limited and they live just for today.

“The children are subjected to continuous trauma and there were things we left out of the documentary because they were too graphic.

“It’s been like living in a horror movie for these children for the past 16 months, yet life goes on for them. Renad makes her content, Zakaria goes to the beach when he can. They are extremely resilient and brave.”

OLIVIA Attwood has taken a savage swipe at Liv Hawkins after she voted best mate Ronnie Vint to be dumped from the villa.

Ronnie and Harriett Blackmore were sent home – just missing out on the Love Island All Stars final – last night.

It came after axed Islanders returned to vote between them, Elma Pazar and Sammy Root and Catherine Agbaje and Omar Nyame.

Harriett ended up in an explosive clash with Liv, as she attempted to shade her and Ronnie’s romance.

Liv also claimed Grace Jackson is in it to win it and not genuine in her relationship with Luca Bish.

After Ronnie and Harriett were sent home, Love Island icon Olivia took to Instagram to have her say.

She wrote: “Call the police a CRIME has been committed.

“We are so bloody proud of you @ronnievint. The man you are – you had us laughing and crying all the way through.

“And @harriettblackmore – girl she ATE those expired Islanders upppp!

“Can’t wait to see you both soon.”

Way back at the start of this series of All Stars – before Harriett arrived as a bombshell – Liv claimed Ronnie sent her messages while he was still in a relationship with her.

And Olivia later addressed Liv’s claims, saying: “[Liv] was very engaged in the messaging back and forth.

“He wasn’t talking to himself and I think the picture of him holding Harriet’s hand, she photoshopped her face onto it and sent it back to him.”

Harriett backed Olivia’s comments during her clash with Liv last night.

She quipped: “The girl literally photoshopped her head onto mine and sent it to Ronnie and he still didn’t want you on the outside or in the villa…”

BRAZILIAN icon Ronaldo has revealed his worst ever team-mate.

The former Real Madrid, Barcelona, AC Milan and Inter superstar played with some of the world’s finest players.

From Ronaldinho and Kaka at international level, to the likes of Zinedine Zidane and David Beckham in club football – Ronaldo performed alongside an All-Star cast.

Chatting to another former superstar team-mate in Romario, however, Ronaldo revealed that Everton cult hero Thomas Gravesen wasn’t quite so good.

The Dane became a hugely popular figure at Goodison Park for his committed, tough-tackling displays.

But following his £2.5million switch to Real Madrid, his skills didn’t quite translate as he attempted to replace Claude Makelele at the Bernabeu.

Discussing Gravesen, who aged 49 has now earned a reported £100million fortune and played poker professionally Las Vegas, Ronaldo said when asked to name his worst-ever team-mate: “There are a lot of them.

“There was one at Real Madrid who was a joke… Gravesen.

“He was a Danish midfielder. He was a really cool guy, good guy.

“A little while ago he won a $50million (£40m) poker tournament or something.

“But in football he was very bad, he scored and he beat the hell out of people.”

Dubbed “Mad Dog”, Gravesen reportedly got into a bust up with team-mate Robinho during his time in Spain.

He went on to last 18 months at Real Madrid, joining Celtic in 2006 after 49 appearances and no trophies.

After a season in Scotland, he re-joined Everton on loan, finishing his football career in 2008.

After several successful investments, Gravesen packed up and moved to Las Vegas.

He had several high-profile neighbours in his star-studded Sin City private community, including the likes of Nicolas Cage and tennis legends Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf.

He is now said to have returned to Denmark following eight years in Vegas.

AOIFE MANNION has admitted that she was stunned by the decision to sack Eileen Gleeson and Colin Healy.

But she is looking forward to working with Ireland’s new boss Carla Ward, particularly having an idea of what to expect from her no 2 Alan Mahon.

Gleeson and her assistant Healy were ditched by the FAI following their Euro 2025 play-off defeat to Wales, something Mannion did not see coming.

The Manchester United defender – who missed those games through injury – said: “I really liked Eilo and I really enjoyed camp, so it was a surprise for me when she wasn’t kept on.

“It wasn’t something that was on my radar.

“Colin was a really, really lovely person to have in camp. He was a really liked member of the squad, as was Eilo of course. It was really sad for him and Eilo not to be involved anymore

“As players these decisions are made above us and not something we have a say in. 

“As a player, we always have to turn up and appreciate the honour it is to play for the Ireland team regardless of who the management staff is, and it’s for Carla now to put her stamp on it, it’s her fresh start, and to continue that good feeling and the excitement it is for the players to be involved.”

Despite the pair being injured, Mannion and Louise Quinn were at the Aviva Stadium when Ireland were beaten by Wales to miss out on this summer’s tournament.

Mannion – who also missed out on the World Cup through injury – said: “It’s nerve-racking enough to be a player, it’s harder to watch it.

“It’s something that my parents always tell me, it’s like heart-attack central to actually watch me play. You don’t really understand that until you’re watching a team from the sideline.

“You’d much rather be involved because you feel like you can contribute and help in some way to a scoreline or a performance. In some ways you feel helpless.”

But she is looking forward to a fresh start under Ward, whom she met after a club game.

And she said: “She seems to be wanting to hit the ground running. She seems fresh with ideas and ambitions for us a team.”

The 29-year-old has experience of former Ireland midfielder Mahon who, along with Amber Whiteley, has been brought in by Ward.

She said: “So I worked with Alan – it’s weird calling him that because I know him as Mahony – for two years when he was the assistant at Manchester City to Nick Cushing.

“Playing under a City model is very technical and possession-based and at that time that was really cutting edge in the league actually.

“So it was a real challenge and growth point for me, trying to get onboard and up to speed with that, having come from Birmingham before which was much more traditional in terms of one v one tackling and duels, putting your body on the line.

“It felt like playing under coaches like Alan and Nick Cushing took it to the next level in terms of technical detail and what you do on the ball.

“So I can only hope that he will bring some of that experience to our camps and that will obviously be also complimented by the other coaching staff in Amber and obviously Carla as the head coach.”
