Patrick Kielty's final post about wife before she 'erases him' from social media
Patrick Kielty's last social media shout-out to his wife Cat Deeley was a touching homage, where he lavished praise on his 'wonderful' spouse. The Late Late Show host took to Instagram in February to celebrate Cat being named the new permanent presenter of This Morning alongside Ben Shepherd. As the 48 year-old was unveiled as Holly Willoughby's successor, Co. Down native Patrick couldn't hide his pride, posting a collection of videos and photos showing Cat with their kids at home. His post read: "I didn't know what a morning person actually was until I met this woman. She gets up every day with a smile on her face. "A 5:30am, whistling in the shower, smile on her face. Then downs two coffees, and gives you the look. The 'what the f*€K's wrong with you, let's do this' look," reports RSVP Live. "It's not a pretend smile and it's not just some mornings. It's every morning. Which is bloody difficult cos she's married to me. I should also mention she likes a chat. To anyone. About anything. Anywhere." This comes as Cat seems to have removed all signs of Patrick from her Instagram, following the couple's recent announcement that they have decided to part ways. Cat married her long-term friend Patrick Kielty in 2012 (Image: GETTY) The pair tied the knot in a grand ceremony in Rome in September 2012 after dating for only a year and have two children together. In a joint statement given to the PA news agency, they stated: "We have taken the decision to end our marriage and are now separated. There is no other party involved." Rumours swirled about the state of Cat Deeley and Patrick Kielty's marriage earlier this year when Cat was noticeably missing from her mother-in-law's funeral. Patrick Kielty faced the heartbreaking task of laying his mother Mary to rest in March, seen shouldering her coffin with his brothers John and Cahal at the Church of the Sacred Heart in Dundrum, Co Down. While Patrick was surrounded by loved ones during the sombre occasion, his wife Cat Deeley was not among the mourners. Instead, she remained in London, presenting This Morning as usual alongside Ben Shephard. This Morning boasts a diverse team of stand-ins for hosting duties, including Alison Hammond, Josie Gibson, and Rochelle Humes, who step in on Fridays or when regular hosts are away. A representative for Cat clarified her absence, stating that she stayed back to support their two sons, Milo and James, during this difficult time as they mourned their grandmother. "Cat remained at home to be there for her two young children before and after school on this very sad day," a spokesperson for Cat told Mail Online. Despite the speculation, the couple enjoyed a family holiday the following month, taking their sons Milo and James on an Easter break. On Instagram, Cat shared glimpses of their family time, including a snap of her in a chic black swimsuit paddleboarding with Milo, 8, alongside the caption: "Catch a wave". She shared a clip of Patrick and six year old James strolling down the beach on an "ice cream run". For more of the latest breaking news from the Irish Mirror check out our homepage by clicking here.

Writer of Jimmy's Winning Matches reveals inspiration behind hit song
The singer Rory Gallagher wrote the song about African sellers The singer and songwriter behind Donegal's football anthem Jimmy's Winning Matches is predicting a four-point victory over Kerry in today's All-Ireland final at Croke Park. Lanzarote-based Rory Gallagher, formerly of The Revs, also reveals that he originally wrote the song about street and beach sellers from Senegal who flog counterfeit goods to tourists in the Canaries. 'It was originally called Jimmy's Selling Watches, but my mother, Mary B, who was in the band Luv Bug with my father, suggested I should change it to Jimmy's Winning Matches when Donegal started doing well under Jim McGuinness,' Rory tells the Sunday World.

'Jim came up to me at the Burlington Hotel in Dublin after the All-Ireland final big celebration (in 2012)…he walked over and he had a big smile on him,' Rory says. 'I thought he was going to give me a hug, but he put his arm around me and whispered into my ear, 'See that song you wrote, it has my head melted!' 'Everybody was shouting it at him in the streets. It was this catchphrase that he didn't want. The good thing about it is that it really freaks out our opponents because they just think 'this guy is destined to win matches.' It's his own fault for having such a high-win ratio. 'It could be worse, it could be Jimmy's losing matches. As long as we win everybody's happy.'

McGuinness' hilarious reaction to Jimmy's Winning Matches after meeting singer
Jim McGuinness told the singer of the famous 'Jimmy's Winning Matches' song that it had his head 'melted' after meeting him. Rory Gallagher from Rory and the Island told of McGuinness' reaction to the song in a social media post this week ahead of the All-Ireland final between Donegal and Kerry. He wrote: "I remember all those years ago Jim McGuinness coming up to me, putting his arm around me and whispering gently into my ear: 'See that song you wrote, it has my head melted!' It got even worse for him when RTE then made a comedy sketch of him walking around Donnybrook and everyone running up to him shouting 'Jimmy's Winning Matches!' as he kept trying to walk away faster!" "But to be honest I think this genuinely stems from his modesty, he always pushes how brilliant the team are and that they do the harder work, and deserve all the credit. "This is why in the 2024 revamp version I released I changed the final chorus lyrics to 'The Team are Winning Matches' . "However, when we see the effect he has had since his return as Donegal manager this past 2 years nobody can deny there is something very special about Jim McGuinness, so even if he gets modestly embarrassed by the song ... it's his own fault... for just constantly Winning Matches!" Rory appeared on Saturday's Up for the Match on RTE and will play at Dtwo in Dublin on Sunday following the final at 7pm.
