Inside Love Island's Tom Clare and Molly Smith's stunning holiday with huge pool and swanky restaurant that's all FREE

Their relationship seems stronger together if social media is anything to go by TOP PRIZE Inside Love Island's Tom Clare and Molly Smith's stunning holiday with huge pool and swanky restaurant that's all FREE FORMER Love Island stars Tom Clare and Molly Smith are currently on a luxury getaway in Marrakesh. The former ITV2 reality pair fell in love when they appeared in the first ever All Stars edition of the series in 2024. 7 Molly Smith and Tom Clare found love in the villa, and now they are abroad once again Credit: Rex 7 The duo enjoyed a luxury no expense spared trip to Morocco 7 The reality TV star showed off his impressive physique in the pool Over a year after being voted as the winners, their relationship is still going from strength to strength. Molly, 30, and Tom, 25, first jetted abroad to enjoy a stunning getaway at the Amalfi Coast in Italy at the beginning of August. They shared a series of romantic snaps from the balcony of their hotel as they enjoyed the summer months in Europe. Now, the pair have been treated to a luxury getaway to the Moroccan capital with an extended stay at the Nobu Marrakesh. Both of the duo shared behind-the-scenes snaps as they continued to make the most of the summer months at the five-star resort. Tom was seen flaunting his six pack and bulging muscles as he took a dip in the rooftop pool. He wore rose tinted sunglasses, dark swimming shorts and a necklace as he posed on the seat. Later, he posted a snap of Molly posing in a revealing white silk dress as they dined out at one of the hotel's restaurants. The duo were treated to identical plates of Nigiri sushi pieces at the world famous Japanese establishment. He captioned the snap: "If it's sushi I'm there." Inside Love Island star Tom Clare's boozy birthday bash with Love Island co-stars Molly later gave details of another meal as she posed with her boyfriend in a glam selfie. She wore a low-cut silk blue top as her hair was styled into thick waves while Tom showed off his chest in a cream vest. Molly captioned the snap: "Rooftop dinner with my love @tomclare," which was accompanied by a white heart emoji. She also explored the famous markets of the city as she beamed with a special gift from her tour guide. The Love Island was presented with a miniature golden elephant as she explored the sights and sounds of the exotic location. Later, the pair enjoyed a lavish poolside breakfast in the sun at the swanky hotel. She posted another snap onto her story where they ate cold meats and freshly made omelettes. Molly captioned the snap: "This morning's breakfast location, yes both them breakfast plates are for @tomclare," with a face of tears of joy emoji. All of the posts on both of their Instagram stories were accompanied with relevant tags. The accounts for Jet2holidays as well as the hotel's official profile were accompanied by the caption 'AD.' This suggested that the entire trip was given to the pair for free in return for advertisement on their accounts. How much would it have cost? The Nobu Hotel in Marrakesh is not cheap, according to rates given by the hotel's official website. At the time of writing, the cheapest room available in August - a Junior Suite - goes for MAD 4,800 (£392.98) a night. For those going for a more expensive option, the Premium Family Suite costs MAD 12,480 (£1,021.75) per day. According to Jet2, flights to Morocco from London Stansted could set you back up to £326 per person. 7 The pair dined out at expensive sushi restaurants on their tip 7 All their posts were accompanied with the caption 'AD' suggesting they were given the holiday for free 7 Molly soaked up the exotic sun before enjoying the sights that the city had to offer

Legendary US fast food chain to open first restaurant in Ireland next month with location revealed

A LEGENDARY US fast food chain is set to open its first restaurant in Ireland next month - and the store's location has been revealed. Applegreen will open Ireland's first Taco Bell this September. 2 Taco Bell will open in Ireland next month Credit: Getty Images 2 And it will be coming to Applegreen Credit: Alamy Live News Operating at over 8,000 locations globally, Taco Bell is known for its Mexican-inspired fast food, such as tacos, burritos, quesadillas and nachos. The restaurant will be part of a new €15 million motorway service area at Junction 6 on the M3 in Dunshaughlin, Co Meath. The Dunshaughlin service hub will include other well-known brands. These will include an M&S Food shop, a Burger King, a Braeburn Coffee Café and Applegreen's new deli counter brand Crafted. What's more, it will offer dine-in seating, takeaway and drive-thru facilities. Back in May, Applegreen first revealed plans to bring Taco Bell to Ireland in May, and it intends to open several outlets nationwide over the next five years. The company has not yet confirmed the next locations. Matthew Johnson, New Market Lead for Taco Bell Europe, said the company is excited to bring its food to Ireland. He said: 'We are thrilled to bring Taco Bell's innovative and flavourful menu to Ireland. Taco Bell unveils its next-generation drive-thru with a major change to how you get your orders 'This expansion is a testament to our commitment to growing our brand globally and delivering exceptional dining experiences to new markets. "We believe that our unique offering will resonate with consumers in Ireland, providing a new and exciting dining option that celebrates bold flavours and a fun, vibrant atmosphere." Applegreen has already launched Taco Bell outlets at several Welcome Break service areas in Britain. The Irish openings will follow a similar model - with Dunshaughlin chosen for its heavy daily traffic and commuter links. What's more, Wendy's is set to open up ten new restaurants in Ireland this year. Corrib Oil Service Station has reached an agreement with the legendary fast-food chain to become its franchise partner in Ireland. And the initial site locations across the country are set to be announced later this year. It will include standalone Wendy's restaurants and new offerings at Corrib Oil Service Station site locations. President International of Wendy's Company, EJ Wunsch, has said that Ireland is a great market for the fast-food chain's long term growth. He said: "With a proven track record of outstanding operations and a significant growth history, we are confident that Corrib Oil is the right partner to drive Wendy's expansion in Ireland."
