Ryan Tubridy and fiancée Dr Clare Kambamettu dazzle at sun-soaked Wimbledon

Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Ryan Tubridy has shared stunning snapshots from his trip to Wimbledon with fiancée Dr Clare Kambamettu. The couple enjoyed the sunshine and the famous Pimms drinks at the London tennis tournament, and dressed up for the occasion. The radio presenter looked dapper in a blue suit jacket with white trousers, while Dr Clare shone in a simple khaki dress. Her beautiful engagement ring was also visible as she held up her glass of Pimms, with the diamond sparking in the sunlight. The broadcaster said that he has grown up watching the wold-renowned tournament. "I've been watching this event since I was a young boy and love the sights and sounds of the tournament. I was weaned on the likes of John McEnroe, Jimmy Connors, Ivan Lendl and Boris Becker," he penned in his Mail on Sunday column. "It was an era of cranky superstars and Robinson's orange cordial and linesmen/women who risked their lives as they crouched and waited for a ball to come towards them at 120mph." They were not the only Irish celebrities present for the games, with Angela Scanlon and Eve Hewson making an appearance. Ryan and his bride-to-be became engaged in June, when he got down on one knee during a staycation in the West of Ireland. Speaking on the radio, he said: "I have a little bit of news that I've been keeping to myself - to ourselves. "I'm very, very, very happy to confirm I did get engaged to my partner Clare in the West of Ireland on Thursday evening. It is a very beautiful feeling,. We were surrounded by gorgeous people who we didn't know, strangers in the hotel, and people who were working around the place. I got a beautiful ring organised and the weather was gorgeous." Ryan kept the rest of the details under wraps for now, until he can tell his family, but he added that the "world feels lighter" for him. The broadcaster continued: "And it's just the accumulation of a lot of lovely things happening, and I just decided now is the time. More to follow in terms of details and all the rest of it. And by the more to follow, I mean I'll tell my family first. "It's a very exciting time to be alive. I'm a very, very lucky man, and I think it's one of those beautiful moments where the world feels lighter."

Conor McGregor in nude picture scandal after Azealia Banks leak

Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info American rapper Azealia Banks has leaked unsolicited pictures of Conor McGregor as she accuses the MMA fighter of threatening her. The former UFC champion sent her nudes, which she proceeded to post on the platform publicly. She further accused him of threatening her not to tell anybody, reports the Irish Mirror. Leaking McGregor's pics, she wrote on X: "How you gonna send a b**ch a some crooked d**k pics then threaten her not to tell. @TheNotoriousMMA n**ga do you know who the f**k I am?" She further mocked the MMA fighter and wrote: "Honey...... ain't u trying to be the president of Ireland what is it giving fam?" She further shared another screenshot where she claimed that McGregor woke up early and deleted his pictures from her chat. However, she revealed the threat part in the chat, in which McGregor said: "Don't be a rat cos all rats get caught." In another tweet, she once again mocked the Dubliner's announcement to run for Irish presidency, sharing, "Conor McGregor 4 President". (Image: Instagram) A spokesman for McGregor has been contacted for comment. Banks' post against McGregor also coincides with the UFC lightweight champion's 37th birthday, which saw tributes from his fiancée and mother of four, Dee Devlin. It comes as pictures were obtained of the controversial star cosying up to a mystery woman on the beach in Florida in front of a crowd. The ex-UFC champ was caught on camera getting up close and personal with a bikini-clad lady on a Fort Lauderdale beach over the weekend. In the images seen by the Irish Mirror, McGregor put his hand on her thigh, had his arm slung over her shoulder, and seemingly planted a kiss on her lips. His fiancée, Devlin, posted on social media for the first time since the photos surfaced. But she made no mention of them in her upload, instead celebrating McGregor's 37th birthday on Monday. She reposted a tribute from a fan page on her Instagram story that said: "Happy Birthday to the person who always keeps Dee entertained and makes her smile." The post included a montage of the couple in their joyous moments. The pair have been an item for 16 years, got engaged in 2020, and have four kids together – sons Conor Jr, eight, Rian, four, Mack, one, and their daughter Croia, six. Their partnership has weathered its fair share of storms, notably McGregor's civil rape case. Last November, a High Court civil jury found him civilly liable for assaulting Nikita Hand. He faced allegations of "brutally raping and battering" Ms Hand at a hotel in south Dublin back in November 2018. McGregor maintained that their sexual interactions at the Beacon Hotel were consensual. The jury sided with her, with €248,603.60 in damages awarded. McGregor has mounted an appeal against the ruling that got underway earlier this month. Once again standing united with McGregor as they exited the High Court last year, Devlin later expressed her unwavering support on social media: "My man and I have created a beautiful life together. I love him, I trust him and I BELIEVE HIM! "Our four beautiful children whose smiling faces and happy hearts are testimony to the man he is and who we are! No one is entitled to comment on our relationship - we trust one another and love one another. Nothing or nobody will change that. Our family stands strong!" McGregor has now been absent from the UFC for over four years. His last fight, a second successive defeat to Dustin Poirier in July 2021, saw him break his leg. He has teased fans with talks of a comeback several times since, yet his anticipated June 2024 clash with Michael Chandler was scrapped and wasn't rescheduled.
