Watch as Breakfast TV host drops F-bomb live on air before burning her cooking in disaster live TV segment
A BREAKFAST TV star turned the airwaves blue - just minutes before a kitchen disaster. Ireland AM host Elaine Crowley ventured out of her usual hosting duties to cook up a storm in the kitchen on Sunday, but it didn't go quite according to plan. 3 3 3 Elaine was dared by one of her producers to take on the challenge and said they got a "heart attack" when she actually arrived to the Virgin Media studio with her ingredients. The popular presenter decided to make her breakfast speciality - smashed avocado on sourdough with salmon and poached eggs. The 48-year-old was joined by chef Lizzy Lyons, who attempted to help Elaine with her recipe but was quickly shooed away. After popping her bread in the toaster and dropping her eggs in the boiling water, Elaine got busy mashing up her avocado and seasoning it. Her co-host Siomha Ni Ruairc curiously asked her: "Do you ever overcook your poached eggs? Is that a thing?" Elaine confidently replied: "No, I overcook my boiled eggs." And in that moment, Elaine quickly realised that she forgot about her eggs boiling and shouted out: "Oh f***, I've overcooked my poached eggs!" The Virgin Media star was gobsmacked by her accidental F-bomb and told viewers: "Oh no. I deeply apologise for... please don't complain [about] me to the BAI." Co-host Kevin Twomey attempted to make her feel better about the blunder saying: Live TV... sometimes this happens. It's a stressful scenario. "I've worked in hospitality and in kitchens and let me tell you, the chefs are saying a lot worse in there." Elaine Crowley shares snaps from holiday Elaine looked disappointed in herself and said: "First time in my life on air, I've said that word. For god sake. "I'm going to get sacked." Elaine then served up her dish for Siomha and Kevin, who looked delighted to finally dig into their grub. Kevin broke out into a coughing fit after his first bite and Elaine shouted out: "Siomha you're pregnant, don't eat it for God sake!" 'GOLD' And if that wasn't enough chaos, as the segment ended Siomha smelt burning coming from the kitchen. Elaine ran over to the oven shouting out: "Oh the toast!" Everyone in the studio were in tears laughing as Siomha said: "Can we get a fire extinguisher in the studio please?" Ireland AM shared the hilarious segment on Instagram and had viewers in stitches. One fan said: "This is hands down the best segment I've ever seen." Carol wrote: "Was the funniest. I was crying laughing."

Host of stars to support Very Pink Run for Breast Cancer Ireland
Runs will take place across Dublin, Cork and Kilkenny between September 6 and 14 to support breast cancer research, along with nationwide awareness and education programmes. The Very Pink Run, supported by online retailer Very, has grown into a global phenomenon since it was established, raising €7.3m to date, with over 97,000 participants across 40 countries. This year, the pink wave is set to sweep across Dublin on September 6, Cork on September 7, and Kilkenny on September 14, with thousands expected to attend. Several well-known faces have been announced as event ambassadors, including Virgin Media presenter Elaine Crowley, FM104's Thomas 'Crossy' Crosse and Zeinab Elguzouli, Dancing with the Stars winner and pro-dancer Laura Nolan, and 98FM presenter and performer Paul Ryder. Other ambassadors include Newstalk presenter Andrea Gilligan, presenter Kamal Ibrahim, and author and breast cancer survivor Nicola Hanney, alongside longstanding ambassadors Shane Byrne and presenter James Patrice. Councillor and former Lord Mayor of Dublin, Emma Blain, Lorraine Keane, Charlene Flanagan and Chris Connolly of Get Better with Chris, along with Dr Monica Oikeh and fitness guru Lesley Giltinan, are also going to lend their support. The ambassadors are set to help rally thousands of supporters across the country and abroad to support the cause. The chief of Breast Cancer Ireland, Aisling Hurley, said she "strongly believes that research and awareness are what will lead to zero deaths from breast cancer". "This event simply keeps growing year on year, as does our pink tribe of supporters," she said. "Each and every participant is playing a role in helping us to move the dial on research, awareness, novel treatments and therapies – and ultimately – survival of the 3,700 people diagnosed in Ireland each year. ADVERTISEMENT "Every pink t-shirt worn, every step taken, brings us one step closer to our goal of making this illness a treatable illness for all, and to powering a future entirely free from breast cancer," she added. It comes as one in seven women and one in 738 men are diagnosed with this disease in their lifetime. The funds raised through the event this year will be channelled into two targeted areas by Breast Cancer Ireland, including breast cancer research and improved patient outcomes. The registrations for the run are now open on the Very Pink Run website, as participants can take part by running, jogging or walking in one of three large-scale physical events. The 10k and 5k events in Dublin will take place at Leopardstown Race Course on Saturday, September 6, followed by 10k and 5k events in Cork at MTU, Bishopstown, on Sunday, September 7. Meanwhile, the 10k and 5k Kilkenny events will kick off in the grounds of Kilkenny Castle Park on Sunday, September 14. There are no upper or lower age limits and events are open to families, friends, solo participants, and four-legged friends. The organisers added people can expect a "fun, family festival style outing with music, games and children's entertainment".
