Huge Irish band announce TWO Christmas shows in Ireland – here's how you can nab tickets
Get ready for a special Christmas show like no other THIS XMAS Huge Irish band announce TWO Christmas shows in Ireland – here's how you can nab tickets PICTURE This has announced two major Christmas gigs in Ireland - and fans are buzzing. The Dublin rockers are back — and they're bringing the party for Christmas with two huge shows that'll light up Belfast and Dublin this December. 2 Picture This have announced TWO shows in Ireland this Christmas 2 Picture This will make their homecoming in Dublin's 3Arena After smashing it at their sold-out headline gig in St Anne's Park this June, the lads are gearing up to hit the SSE Arena, Belfast on December 27. The Take My Hand singers will then make a long-awaited homecoming at the 3Arena, Dublin on December 29. Having just toured four new coastal spots in Ireland for the first time ever - the band are bringing the new show straight to the capital. Tickets go on sale this Friday, August 22, at 10am, with prices starting from €52.55 for Dublin and £41.90 for Belfast. So if you're looking for that perfect Christmas gift a few months early - get ready to grab them quick! The band recently dropped a brand-new single, Heart Over Head. The new tune is a fresh take on a German smash hit with artist Joris. The track blends their signature anthemic alt-pop with Joris's folk-pop vibes, creating a powerful new anthem. This summer Ireland has been jam-packed with exciting gigs, the most recent being Oasis reunion extravaganza in Croke Park. Oasis went Supersonic as 80,000 fans descended on Croke Park last weekend for their final gig of the tour. Bitter Oasis feud 'buried once and for all' as Noel Gallagher heaps praise on younger brother Liam for 'smashing it' on reunion tour Superstars Liam and Noel Gallagher took over Dublin's home of GAA — putting on explosive set of shows before bidding the capital farewell. Fans flocked to the capital early to enjoy a day out in the summer sunshine before making the pilgrimage to Croker to see Oasis. Bucket hat wearers were then treated to a string of Britpop hits from the Manchester duo, with a number of celebrities also spotted enjoying the hottest ticket of the year. TRUE LIAM STYLE They include newlywed Derry Girls star Saoirse-Monica Jackson and her DJ hubby Denis Sulta, who tied the knot on Friday. Swaggering out on to the Croker stage, Liam screamed: 'Dublin vibes in the area!' And just like on Saturday, Liam dedicated a hit — this time Fade Away — to Charlestown, Co Mayo, where mum Peggy is from. But the star was left fuming after being booed when he asked: 'Anyone here from Mayo?' And before jumping into Roll With It, Liam admitted he needed to learn to shut up on stage. He laughed 'Apparently, I've been yapping too much, getting myself in trouble for having a f***ing opinion!'

Arsenal's seven transfer options to replace crocked Kai Havertz revealed as Mikel Arteta scrambles for late deal
Scroll down to see our seven options, including two stars on the brink of transfers New cannon Arsenal's seven transfer options to replace crocked Kai Havertz revealed as Mikel Arteta scrambles for late deal ARSENAL were dealt a bitter blow with the news that Kai Havertz had been ruled out with a knee injury. The blow has left the Gunners' squad short of firepower, having brought the German, 26, on during their 1-0 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday. 15 Kai Havertz's knee injury has left Arsenal scrambling to find a new attacker Credit: Getty 15 There are a number of options they are considering, including Morgan Rogers as exclusively revealed by SunSport Credit: Getty Club transfer chiefs had already been eyeing another attacker following the arrivals of Viktor Gyokeres and Noni Madueke, but Havertz's knock means that search will move into top gear. And reports have indicated the Emirates outfit have a shortlist of seven players they are considering as they scramble to strike a late deal in the summer window. Morgan Rogers SunSport exclusively revealed earlier today that Arsenal were weighing up a stunning move for Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers. On Tuesday night Rogers was crowned the PFA Young Player of the Year, with Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta personally congratulating him in Manchester when he received the award. The Gunners had already been monitoring the 23-year-old as someone to potentially challenge Gabriel Martinelli, though Villa are determined to keep hold of the versatile attacker. Villa have no need to shift more players in order to meet Premier League and Uefa financial rules after selling Jacob Ramsey to Newcastle for £40m and loaning Leon Bailey to Roma. 15 They value Rogers at £80million and are unlikely to entertain offers below that price, meaning Arsenal would have to make the six cap England international their most expensive signing of the summer. So who else is on the table as an alternative, as the Telegraph report Arsenal will happily seek a loan if Havertz is ruled out for months. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK Julian Alvarez 15 Former Man City star Julian Alvarez is said to want out of Atletico Madrid Credit: Shutterstock Editorial One of the biggest breaking stories of the week is reports coming out of Spain that Julian Alvarez is unsettled at Atletico Madrid. It is claimed that Alvarez's camp believe they have made a mistake by signing for the Spanish club and want out due to being frustrated with his current role under Diego Simeone. How Arsenal survived Man Utd's attacks with 'forcefield defence' 15 The 25-year-old World Cup winner has already cut his teeth in the Premier League with Manchester City, where he spent two seasons and had 36 goals and 19 assists in 103 games in all competitions. Alvarez has certainly retained his scoring touch in LaLiga, having netted a screamer of a free-kick in the opener against Espanyol despite his Madrid going on to lose 2-1. Alexander Sorloth 15 Alexander Sorloth is down the pecking order at Atletico Madrid and is available for a cut-price move Credit: Getty At the same time, team-mate and former Crystal Palace star Alexander Sorloth is available on the market. The 6ft 4" 29-year-old matches Arsenal's favoured type of player whereby he is a physical specimen, and has an eye for goal with 24 goals for Madrid last season. 15 He is also likely to be far cheaper than most other targets - with the Norwegian being valued at £43m by his club - and have less competition in for him, with West Ham having been linked with a move. But there are also options within the Premier League to be considered. Eberechi Eze 15 Arsenal have long held interest in Eberechi Eze, who was a Gunners fan growing up Credit: Reuters Arsenal have a longstanding interest in Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze, but would need to hijack an expected deal between the Eagles and North London rivals Tottenham to land the 27-year-old. Spurs and Palace have agreed a £60m deal for the attacking midfielder after a major breakthrough in talks on Tuesday. 15 SunSport understands that Spurs will pay £30m up front for Eze, with the rest made in instalments, with the initial payment helping Palace to sign a replacement for their outgoing talisman. The advantage Arsenal do have is the fact he supported them as a boy, though whether that sentimentality could come up trumps remains to be seen. Yoane Wissa 15 Arsenal could make a late swoop to hijack Newcastle's deal for Yoane Wissa Credit: Rex Elsewhere, Arsenal could condemn Newcastle to missing out on another transfer target by making a move for wantaway Brentford ace Yoane Wissa. The Magpies have made an improved offer of £40m to land the 28-year-old, who scored 19 Premier League goals last season. That being said, the Bees are thought to want between £50-£60m for Wissa. This comes after they also lost key stars Bryan Mbeumo and captain Christian Norgaard to Manchester United and Arsenal respectively earlier in the window. Nicolas Jackson 15 Nicolas Jackson has been offered to Arsenal and a host of top Prem sides Credit: Getty Luckily, Arsenal do have a pair of options who will also be far easier to attain in the form of Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku. In Jackson's case, the Blues have offered the 24-year-old to the likes of Man Utd, Newcastle, Aston Villa and Arsenal for a price of at least £60m. 15 Arsenal have already brought two players from Chelsea this summer in the form of Madueke and Kepa Arrizabalaga. Yet Jackson - who has 30 goals and 12 assists in 81 games for the Stamford Bridge outfit - could be the best of the bunch. Christopher Nkunku 15 Christopher Nkunku has been heavily linked with a Chelsea exit Credit: Getty Nkunku is out of favour under Enzo Maresca despite an impressive Club World Cup, and has been linked with a move away from England as the likes of Bayern Munich and RB Leizpig circle. Talks with Leipzig are at a crucial stage with the club themselves fuelling speculation on social media, but Chelsea would prefer a permanent sale to a loan. 15 When Chelsea previously discussed Nkunku with Leipzig, it appeared neither the player nor the club were interested in being reunited despite his previous successful spell there between 2019 and 2023. The 27-year-old has also been the subject of enquiries from clubs in England and Italy as Chelsea value the Frenchman at £43m (€50m). Internal? While Arsenal will want to make a key addition to their squad in order to help them finally land an elusive Premier League title after a wait of more than two decades, there are internal options if all else fails. Mikel Merino had a successful stint playing up front last season and could be a perfect impact sub behind Gyokeres for the upcoming campaign, though that would then mean Arsenal are short on midfielders. Arsenal's transfer deals IN Viktor Gyökeres - from Sporting Lisbon - £72m Noni Madueke - from Chelsea - £52m Martin Zubimendi - from Real Sociedad - £51m Christian Norgaard - from Brentford - £15m Cristhian Mosquera - from Valencia - £13m Kepa Arrizabalaga - from Chelsea - £5m TOTAL - £208m OUT Nuno Taveres - to Lazio - £4.4m Marquinhos - to Cruzeiro - £2.6m Jorginho - to Flamengo - free Kieran Tierney - to Celtic - free Takehiro Tomiyasu - released Thomas Partey - released TOTAL - £7m ARSENAL TRANSFER NEWS LIVE 15 TRANSFER NEWS LIVE - KEEP UP WITH ALL THE LATEST FROM A BUSY SUMMER WINDOW

Chloe Burrows hits back after quitting Celeb SAS in 38 hours – saying she got paid in full & ‘just wanted bed and vape'
CHLOE Burrows has defended her decision to quit Celebrity SAS after less than two days on the course. The former Love Islander was one of the 12 recruits taking part on this year's series, which is currently airing on Channel 4. 7 Chloe Burrows opened up about her time on Celeb SAS Credit: YouTube/Chloe Vs The World 7 Chloe withdrew from the course after just two days Credit: Channel4 7 Chloe said her time on the show was "hell" and told others not to do it Credit: Pete Dadds / Channel 4 However, just 38 hours on the show, Chloe dramatically exited the show, telling the DS team that she had "had enough" while walking up a steep hill. Handing in her armband to VW (voluntarily withdraw), Chloe was joined by fellow Islander Tasha Ghouri, who claimed she "wasn't mentally there" to take on the challenge and has refused to acknowledge the show since. Speaking on her podcast, Chloe Vs. The World today, Chloe defended herself from online critics but admitted she was "violently under-prepared" to take on such a gruelling show. "I left. I quit, because guess what, guys, it's f**king hell," she declared. "It's hell, no one ever do it. "I don't even know why I did… well I know why I did it. I've loved that show for years, me and my dad used to watch it going up, and obviously they said, 'Do you want this opportunity? And I was like, Hell's f**king yeah, I will smash it'. "I thought I'd be quite good. I spoke to, I think Pete Wicks, and he was like, 'it's not even that bad'. Pete, you're a liar." Admitting she had worn herself too thin ahead of going to the show – doing an eight-day stint in Ibiza before filming Sidemen's Inside show for Netflix – Chloe revealed she had been clubbing until the early hours of the morning on the day she left to take part on Celeb SAS. On the moment she quit, Chloe said: "I think I said, 'all I need is my bed and a vape', and I that I did need. So that was the end of that. "It was like 30 hours of hell. I don't know how they did it. Honestly, and it's really hard to be in a good mood when you're like, cold, tired, wet, hungry, knowing you're gonna do something awful. "I just didn't have it in me. I was in hell. I wanted to cry, and I've never been happier than when I did the seven hour drive back." Who Dares Wins in chaos as two more stars quit within A MINUTE of each other Despite exiting the show early, Chloe responded to a string of comments about her stint – and smiled as she confirmed she did still get paid her full fee for participating. "Does she still get paid? Yes, I did," she admitted. "At the end of the day, I see all the hate comments, I knew I was gonna get it, but no one can be like, harder on me than myself. "I was devastated. If I was to do it again, I would… I knew I wasn't prepared, I should have pulled out, but then, we didn't know if they were doing another season. "It's a show I've loved and I've wanted to do for years, why would I not take that opportunity? I just wanted to live it. I was just very violently unprepared." 7 After less than two days, Chloe handed in her armband Credit: Channel 4 7 Chloe said that she 'just wanted a vape and her bed' as she quit the show Credit: YouTube/Chloe Vs The World 7 Chloe admits she still got paid the full amount for her time on the show Credit: Pete Dadds / Channel 4
