He made the surprise announcement live during his radio show this morning. 2 Carl Mullan made a surprise announcement on his radio show this morning Credit: Instagram 2 Carl will be the MC for this ear's Rose of Tralee Credit: Instagram And as if raising a new-born along with two kids and juggling a hectic work schedule wasn't keeping Carl busy enough - he somehow found time for another major gig. Speaking on his breakfast show this morning, Carl announced he would be the Master of Ceremonies at the Rose of Tralee which will air live from Co Kerry on August 18 and 19. Explaining what his role would entail, he told his co-stars: "I'm absolutely buzzing for it. "On the night, I'm the person who's responsible for introducing all 32 Roses on stage, telling you about them, where they're from." Later, he took to his social media to reveal his surprising link to the annual event. The dad-of-three shared a photo of himself looking very dapper in a tuxedo as he walked the carpet of the Rose Of Tralee festival 2016. He revealed that nine years ago he was an escort for two of that year's roses; Donegal and Scotland. Following the event in 2016, he spoke to the Irish Examiner, where he reflected on the experience. He said: "I'm absolutely exhausted, physically and emotionally, but in a good way. "Over the week, we all bonded so well. We've had an absolute ball. 2025 Rose of Tralee hopefuls reveal their stories ahead of the contest "I've never laughed as much in life. I've made 130 new friends — I'd highly recommend it." Earlier this month, Carl opened up to his wife on their podcast about a mistake he had previously never owned up to. HOST CONFESSION Carl and Aisling recently launched their very own podcast called How Are Ya Lovie?. On the most recent episode, the dad-of-three wanted to get something off his chest that he had been holding in for years. Speaking to Aisling, he said: "Can I tell you something now that I've never told you before? "It was during Covid when Davy was born. So you were all washing your bloody shopping and everything and wiping it all down." Carl then revealed that he "opened the wrong pack" of wipes and instead of using baby wipes on his son, he used an antibacterial one when changing his nappy. Aisling remarked: "No wonder why his skin is so sensitive." Carl explained how stressed it made him saying: "No and in fairness I remember the next day his a** was red raw and I was so afraid to tell you. "I was like she's gonna kick my a**. She's going to absolutely kill me'. "And every day you'd call my name, I was like 'She's found out, she's figured it out. I don't know how but she's figured it out'."

Baker makes 3D cake of Oasis' debut album ahead of Croke Park shows
A Dublin baker has superbly recreated the Definitely Maybe Oasis cover by making the iconic album into a cake. If you've somehow managed to miss the news over the last week, Oasis are finally bringing their reunion tour to Dublin on Saturday and Sunday, with Oasis mania taking over the capital and country at large. With bucket hats being sold at a massive rate and people who weren't so lucky taking to every social media avenue to grab tickets, one woman has taken the fandom to a brilliant new level: recreating the iconic cover from Oasis' debut Definitely Maybe out of cake. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Today FM 💛 (@todayfm) The chocolate biscuit cake recreates the album perfectly, including Liam lying on the ground while the rest of the lads watch TV and noodle on the guitar. The Perfectionist Confectionist Niamh Geraghty, who made the cake, revealed that it took more than a day of combined labour to get the cake together, explaining: 'It took [more than] 30 hours to create. The brief is 'Please, can you turn this album into a 3D cake?' [and] I did.' While 30 hours for something as intricate as an album cake may seem incredibly stressful and tedious, it was quite the contrary for Niamh, who told Today FM: 'I loved every minute of it.' A Dublin baker has superbly recreated the Definitely Maybe Oasis cover — making the iconic album a cake. Pic: Today FM/Instagram The album shot the band to superstardom in 1994, becoming the fastest selling debut album in UK history and featuring some of the band's best songs including Supersonic, Live Forever and Married With Children (one can only assume the fact that the gigs are in a stadium is the reason for it being left off the setlist, but still sorely missed). As for the info those who were lucky enough to get tickets will need, the official Oasis Instagram have confirmed that the gates to Croker will open at 5pm, with opening act Cast kicking off proceedings at 6pm. Richard Ashcroft will take to the stage at 7, before at 8.15pm Noel and Liam et al will bring the noise to over 82,000 people on Saturday and Sunday.

As for how the weather is looking, Met Éireann have given good news to the 160,000 people who are mad fer it this weekend.

Inside Love Island's boozy reunion party as stars down shots and unexpected couple cosy up
LOVE Island stars reunited last night for a very boozy reunion that saw the shots flowing. Nearly all of this year's villa stars were in attendance, and it was a case of good vibes only as they partied on a sunny night in London. 7 Andrada and Remell looked to have plenty of chemistry at last night's Love Island reunion Credit: Instagram/_andradapop 7 The cast downed shots at a Shoreditch rooftop bar Credit: Instagram/_andradapop 7 Rheo and Blu looked compatible as they cosied up on the way to the event The cast dressed to the nines and hit Kaso Rooftop at One Hundred Shoreditch for the fun event. While the cameras weren't rolling for this one, the Islanders let fans in via their social media feeds. As the night went on, the craziness increased. Irish beauty Andrada Pop, who looked close to stealing Dejon Williams from Meg Moore at one stage on the show, was at the centre of the action. She knocked back shots and looked very cosy with Remell Mullings, who she didn't get a chance to meet in the villa. But while fans appreciated the obvious chemistry between them, they were also worried it could jeopardise her taking part in All Stars next year if they were to hook up. And Blu Chegini and bombshell Rheo Parnell also looked very compatible as they cosied up in posh car, before having fun with the slow-cam booth. Series winners Shakira Khan and Harry Cooksley only had eyes for each other, looking very smitten as they kissed outside the venue. Love Island lothario Harrison Solomon was nowhere to be seen. Avoiding the potential for drama, he had an appearance at an event in Swansea nightclub. Love Island star Dejon wraps his arms around two blonde bombshells at reunion But his night ended in drama after his car suffered a flat tyre, leaving him with a £200 Uber bill. There were no such issues for his partner Lauren Wood though, as she sang and danced with co-stars. Meanwhile, Dejon couldn't resist the allure of the photobooth and snapped pics with bombshells Poppy Harrison and Lucy Quinn. Slow-cam footage showed them all dancing together and fans think it's a sign that Dejon could be in trouble with Megan, who he had a tumultuous time with in the villa. "Oh you know there's been an argument tonight," wrote one fan on the clip posted to TikTok, with a second noting: "Meg ain't gonna be happy." "He's still flirting smh [shaking my head]" said a third, with a fourth writing: "He's actually taking the p*** now". 7 The Islanders poured their own shots Credit: Instagram/_andradapop 7 Billykiss dressed to impress at the bash Credit: Instagram/_andradapop 7 Emma and Lucy got into the party spirit Credit: Instagram/_andradapop
