Muireann O'Connell left speechless after Louis Walsh encounter
Yikes, it seems Louis Walsh is at it again!
Ireland AM star Muireann O'Connell took to social media this week to detail how the music mogul left her speechless after accidentally insulting her to her face.
The Limerick native and her co-hosts Tommy Bowe and Alan Hughes attended the 'A taste of the Amalfi Coast' launch at the garden terrace in the Intercontinental Hotel Dublin on Thursday night, where they had a surprise encounter with the former X Factor judge.

Muireann sported a black and white chequered high-neck top, having worked out at her new home before doing her hair and makeup for the night.
While she stunned on the night, Louis had some choice words about Muireann's appearance, with the Virgin Media presenter taking to social media to document the moment.
'The hair saga continues. I exercised and had an hour to get ready,' she began. Ireland AM star Muireann O'Connell took to social media this week to detail how the music mogul left her speechless after accidentally insulting her to her face. Pic: Brian McEvoy
'This is what's after happening and to be fair to Louis Walsh, he's right, I just met him and he's like, '[that's a] Lovely big wig'.'
Muireann then stuttered as she said: 'Is it that… it's very…. okay.'
'What am I going to do with my hair lads?' she mused following the awkward interaction.
Louis also put his foot in it with another popular presenter at the event, asking an openly pregnant Doireann Garrihy if she was drinking.
The 2FM star, who announced her pregnancy last month, jokingly replied 'it's No-secco Louis!' as a bartender poured them both a glass.
Oh Louis, can't take him anywhere!

Britain's Got Talent viewers 'work out' how winner pulled off magic trick
Britain's Got Talent fans have been left fuming after 'figuring out' how 2025 winner Harry Moulding pulled off one of his daring tricks. Fans of the long-running ITV talent show voted for the 24-year-old magician from Blackpool to win the 18th season of the show. Harry beat off competition from dance troupe The Blackouts and solo dancer Binita, 8, to win the show. While Binita got to the final on her own merit, both Harry and The Blackouts were propelled to the final by the judges, who used golden buzzers, which gave them an automatic place in the final. During Saturday night's grand finale, Harry wowed the judges, live audience, and those watching from home as he executed an impressive skydiving magic trick. He asked Bruno Tonioli, Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden to take part in an elaborate card trick. After several minutes of banter and card selection, it was revealed that Bruno had picked out the three of clubs, Alesha would select the four of hearts, and Amanda would pick the seven of diamonds. While the judges were already impressed by the stage of the trick, Harry then played a video clip of himself sky diving hours earlier. During his descent, he predicted that the trio would pick the cards that the ultimately ended up with. The judges and audience were left gobsmacked by the reveal, but some fans watching along at home were convinced they figured out how Harry had pulled off the stunt. Fans took to social media to accuse the performer of cheating - and even using AI to perfect his act. One viewer wrote on X: "How much AI on the #BGTFinal magician's video?" And another, also accusing AI of being involved, wrote: "Not my cup tea this AI magic #BGTFinal". Others accused Harry of using simple sleight-of-hand tricks or using reflections to perfect his stunt. One wrote: "#BGT he can see the card in the camera." And another fan typed: "They have all put their card on the top #BGT." Other viewers were stunned by the performance, however, and went on to cheer for the winner. One wrote on X: "I'm not usually a fan of magicians, but this guy is brilliant and really enjoyable to watch #BGTFinal." And another fan gushed: "I dont care what anyone says but Harry Moulding deserves to win. All my votes goes to him #BGTFinal." Harry was indeed crowned winner of the 2025 season - with the awestruck magician telling hosts Ant and Dec: "I can't believe what is going on." Snatching the microphone from Declan, he continued: "Thank you, everyone, so, so much. I genuinely feel like everyone has been behind me. This has been the most incredible journey. I can't believe that I'm here. Thank you." His victory came after he wowed the judges with his tricks. Alesha gushed during the show: "Every time we see you, you up the level, you take it to the next level, and your imagination and the way you present your act is just astonishing. You're so likeable." And head judge Simon Cowell added his commendation, remarking how Harry was "so good, but so humble". He further commented: "This show, genuinely, is about finding people like you who, for whatever reason, haven't had the break they deserve. And you do deserve this break, I really think the audience are going to get behind you." After being crowned winner, Harry has the chance to perform at the Royal Variety Performance later this year and has also pocketed a whopping £250,000 cash prize.
