The Script star marries long term girlfriend in a private ceremony
The Script star Danny O'Donoghue has married his partner Anais Niang. The band's frontman, 44, tied the knot with his long-term events manager girlfriend, 31, at a ceremony on Thursday in the UK and the pair are delighted to have become husband and wife. The couple told MailOnline: "We're over the moon to be married and now we take the first steps on the journey of the rest of our lives together!" Danny and Anais have been together for five years after meeting by chance in London during the COVID-19 pandemic and the Irish singer revealed that his partner had received his mother's approval when they made their red carpet debut together at the Pride of Britain Awards in 2021. He said at the time: "We actually live in the same part of London, and up until now we've mainly just been hanging out at home. My mum loved her, and offered her lots of tea." Danny proposed to Anais when the pair holidayed in Norway last year and explained that he had to keep his romantic gesture a secret as the pair climbed up a mountain. 'The Man Who Can't Be Moved' artist said: "We hiked up to the top of a mountain to face the most beautiful waterfall in the world, The Seven Sisters. It's our favourite place on Earth. "I nearly passed out from exhaustion carrying up all the champagne, glasses and food for if she said yes. I had to do it all without her knowing." Danny also recalled how he knew that his partner was 'The One'. He explained: "When you know, you know... I knew when it wasn't right, but now I know whatever that is, that it's 100 per cent right. "She's great. I met her during Covid and if you've been with anybody through Covid it's like you compress ten years into these years. You learn everything, all the good bits, mostly the bad bits, and if you get through those moments... I don't know if it's a rite of passage, if you've made it through those few years then you know." O'Donoghue previously revealed that he went "off the rails" following the death of his bandmate Mark Sheehan, who passed away aged 46 in 2023 following a short illness. He told Virgin Media One's 'Six O'Clock Show': "I went off the rails after Mark passed. I went heavy on drinking, smoking and eating c*** food, really went off the rails. I had writers block, a mental block because I could not articulate what was going on because everything comes into question, not just should we carry on as a band, but is there a God? Why? There is no answers to these questions."

Far North news in brief: Water safety review; Te Kāhika battle commemorated
The 180th commemoration of the Battle of Te Kāhika will be held on the shores of Lake Omāpere and Te Kāhika Pā on Saturday. On May 8, 1845, the British attacked launched an assault on Te Kāhika Pā, hoping to capture the Māori rangatira, Te Ruki Kawiti and Hone Heke and bring the so-called rebels to heel. Heke and Kawiti strategically defended the small fortified pā (Te Kāhika Pā) at Lake Ōmāpere. The British were unable to take the pā and ultimately withdrew. Both sides suffered casualties - the British had 13 soldiers killed, while Māori fatalities were higher, with Kawiti losing a son, Taura. The commemoration will begin with karakia at 5am on the battle site on SH1, about 1.5km north of Te Pua Rd. This part is for able-bodied people only.
