LETTING SLIP
It has previously been claimed that Orlando's former fiance Katy - who is on tour in Australia - had told her mates their engagement was over at the start of the year, before removing her engagement ring.

A source close to the couple said at the time: 'Katy confided in friends at the start of the year that their relationship was as good as done.
'They decided to hold off on announcing anything in case things improved between them, because they are desperate to stay together for the sake of their daughter.
"But they have spent barely any time together this year, with Katy on tour and Orlando working on his upcoming film Bucking Fastard in Dublin.
'She knew that taking off her engagement ring would send a clear message.

'It's been a hard year so far. They wanted to wait until the tour is over before they made their split official, although Katy has grown tired of the situation.'
The couple started dating in 2016 and got engaged three years later. However, The Sun understands they had difficult conversations about their future over Christmas and in January but struggled to make a firm decision.
Reps for the couple refused to comment when approached about their separation in February and again this week.
ALL CHANGE
Last week, The Sun reported how Orlando and Katy held crisis talks to try to save their relationship after leading increasingly separate lives.

American news website TMZ then said Brit-born Orlando would be 'the life of the party' and that he would be hitting 'the dancefloor hard' when he arrives in Italy for the nuptials.
An insider said: 'No one has decided it's definitely the end of the road for Katy and Orlando.
'They both love each other, but they have been living different lives for at least a year and in different mindsets.'
It's understood Orlando and Katy are planning on reuniting on July 4 when there is a break in her touring schedule.

The insider added: 'They have barely been together for a decent amount of time, without distractions, for many, many months.'
Tensions within their relationship also reached boiling point after Katy's flight to space on board Jeff's Blue Origin.

'Sometimes this world feels so painful, so I'm sending an enormous amount of love to anyone struggling.' Laura had a failed love match with tennis coach Advertisement She recently opened up to The Sun about her own private battle in a heartbreaking interview - after she was forced to make a terrible decision. The TV star underwent a heartbreaking medical She endured the painful procedure after doctors told her she had been unknowingly putting her unborn foetus at high risk of 'extreme' harm and severe birth defects by taking a powerful drug to treat her acne. The medical abortion in 2016, when she was 26, left Laura struggling to make sense of what had happened. Advertisement 'It was very difficult because I went from not thinking I was pregnant to being seven months pregnant to then having a very prolonged abortion and where I was so far gone,' she told The Sun in an exclusive interview. 'Then, when I got home from the procedure, my milk came in, which, as you can imagine, was just really hard to deal with. 'I hunkered down at home for weeks and didn't talk to anyone.' Multiple labour attempts Laura initially thought it was 'impossible' when a Clearblue digital pregnancy test revealed she was expecting.

Although the former finance manager had been suffering from bloating and missed periods, she says she had been told the symptoms were likely caused by a 'ruptured cyst'. She'd gone to see a GP about her symptoms - including bloating and pain in her stomach - but when they looked at her medical records they noticed she'd had a ruptured cyst the year before and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and said that was "likely the cause again". They referred Laura for a scan which she kept forgetting to book.

She said: "It was literally the week I decided to test that my stomach popped, and I remember thinking 'this isn't right'." Recalling the moment the Clearblue test came up with the phrase '2-3 weeks [pregnant]", Laura, now an influencer, said: 'My first thought was 'that's impossible'... but then I realised that is how the tests display it, so I could've been pregnant for months - and I was.' Clearblue's 'weeks indicator' test is designed to be reliable in the early stages of pregnancy. Advertisement Laura's shock at her cryptic pregnancy soon turned into an unimaginable ordeal when she learned the strong acne drug she had been taking, isotretinoin, can cause birth defects. Due to the risk of birth defects to her foetus, Laura was offered a medical abortion - and, with a heavy heart, she accepted it. Recalling the hospital procedure itself, she added: 'I went for the abortion and I was meant to be in and out within a day and a half but I ended up being in for nearly a week. 'They could get me to contract but couldn't get me to full labour, and so I was having contractions and then [they were] stopping. Advertisement "It was agony. It was just so awful for my state of mind, too, going into labour multiple times and then nothing.'

Ireland to become one of the first countries to clamp down on AI deepfakes
Ireland is set to follow Denmark in becoming one of the first countries to clamp down on the creation and dissemination of AI-generated deepfakes, has learned. It comes after the Danish government announced this week plans to change copyright laws to grant people ownership of their voice, body, and facial features. Sources this weekend said Culture Minister Patrick O'Donovan has requested a meeting with his Danish counterpart, Jakob Engel-Schmidt, to discuss ways to strengthen protection against digital imitations of people's identities. Patrick O'Donovan. Pic: Leah Farrell/ The Government is increasingly concerned about the use of AI-generated deepfakes in criminal activity. Irish writers have also lobbied the Coalition amid criticism of tech giant Meta, which has harvested or 'scraped' the written works of high-profile authors including Sally Rooney, John Banville and President Michael D Higgins. A Government source confirmed Minister O'Donovan will meet with Mr Engel-Schmidt in the coming weeks. Minister for Culture Jakob Engel-Schmidt.

'It sounds quite interesting what Denmark is doing. They [the Danish government] are figuring out ways to deal with this in a way that is effective.' The source said discussion of what new laws can be introduced here to combat deepfake scammers will be at the top of the agenda. Deepfakes. Pic: Shutterstock The new Danish legislation comes amid some growing concerns across Europe about rapidly developing AI technology that has made it easier than ever to create a convincing fake image, video or sound to mimic the voice or features of another person. Once approved, the changes to Danish copyright law will give individuals the right to demand that online platforms remove such content if it is shared without consent. The legislation will also cover 'realistic, digitally generated imitations' of an artist's performance without consent. Violation of the proposed rules could result in compensation for performers who are affected. The Danish government said the new rules would not affect parodies and satire. Asked if they supported the introduction of similar legislation and penalties here, a spokesman for Ireland's media and online safety regulator, Coimisiún na Meán, said: 'The questions are quite technical… I will have a response on Monday [tomorrow] definitely.' While Ireland's Data Protection Commission (DPC), which is responsible for policing tech giants whose European headquarters are based in Dublin, also did not respond to queries asking if similar laws should be introduced in Ireland. A spokesman would only say: 'Individuals can complain to the Data Protection Commissioner where they believe their personal data has been breached in some manner. 'The Data Protection Commission receives complaints from individuals in relation to the processing of their personal data.' The DPC can also order the removal of online images of people if they have been posted without their consent. It can fine tech companies up to 4% of their global turnover if they refuse to comply with its orders. However, the DPC has faced criticism at home and abroad for its perceived failure to enforce laws to protect individuals' data rights from big tech companies. In January, the European Court of Justice ordered the DPC to pay the legal costs of a doomed case that it took against the European Data Protection Board. This came after the EU data watchdog criticised a DPC ruling against people who made complaints against Meta and its popular message-sharing platform WhatsApp.
