The pair – who have been dating since 2020 – posted a series of snaps of them following their nuptials. 

In one snap, the newlyweds can be seen posing in a picturesque grassy area with the bride posing for the camera in a plunging white wedding dress and veil as Connor – who opted for a beige three-piece suit – gazes at Monica. 

While another shows the pair sharing a kiss as they sit at a table during their wedding reception. 

Captioning the post, TikTok star Monica, who has 1.1 million followers on TikTok, wrote: “27.06.2025. I married the love of my life. Here’s to forever.” Connor then reshared the post to his own Instagram. 

The couple were congratulated on their nuptials as their family and friends flocked to the comments section underneath the post. 

One gushed: “This is amazing!!! Huuuuge congrats to you both!!!” 

While another wrote: “Congratulations you two beautiful people.” 

And a third posted: “The most magical day ever, congratulations Mr & Mrs Calland.”

Coronation Street star Julia Goulding and Emmerdale hunk Lewis Cope also showed their love by leaving heart emojis underneath the post.

The Sun Online revealed back in 2023 how Connor had popped the question to Monica after almost three years of dating. 

Connor is best known for playing bad boy Jordan Price on the Channel 4 soap.

His character made his first appearance in 2020 and left the village a year later after he was fatally stabbed.

He landed a role in hit TV show Adolescence, playing PC Jenkins, which was released earlier this year. 

He said of the job: “Last summer I had the absolute honour working with ridiculously talented cast and creative crews. 

“I also got to fulfil a huge career goal of mine, which was to act alongside an actor who inspired me to do this as a career. 

“I feel so fortunate and blessed to be a part of this production and cannot wait for the world to see it.”

Simply Red’s Mick Hucknall, 65, was the first big name to join Rod on stage, performing If You Don’t Know Me By Now.

Not long after, his old mucker from The Faces, Ronnie Wood, 78, rocked out on stage along with Glaswegian powerhouse Lulu, 76, for a rip-roaring version of Hot Legs.

At one point, age-defying Lulu quipped she and Rod made a perfect pairing and apologised to his wife Penny Lancaster.

The expensive show, estimated to be £300k and featuring costume changes and scantily clad backing dancers, delivered the goods.

One viewer wrote: “Rod Stewart. 10 out of 10. One of best Legends slots in #Glasto history. Nailed it.“

Another said: “What a set by Rod Stewart, not easy to get through a 1.5 hour set, especially at 80.”

A third posted: “Rod Stewart is still better than anything else that’s been on at Glastonbury all weekend. 80 year old. Ronnie Wood 78 years old. These British Rockers just dont die do they.”

Rod belted out 21 tracks during his extended set, ending with a poignant Sailing.

Elsewhere, there was Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?, Young Turks, Forever Young and covers of Proud Mary and It’s A Heartache.

And Glasto founder Michael Eavis had a cameo appearance at one stage after being pushed onto the stage in his wheelchair by daughter Emiy.

Rod, dressed in a Barbie pink suit, greeted him with a big hug and told him he could stay out if he wanted to.

TWO-TIME major champion Bryson DeChambeau has branded Royal Portrush as “diabolical” ahead of The Open Championship.

The American was speaking ahead of LIV Golf Dallas earlier this week as he prepares for the final major of the 2025 season.

And DeChambeau has described the Antrim venue as “diabolical” as he prepares to return to the venue for the first time since the 2019 Open.

He’ll be aiming to add a third title to his trophy cabinet, DeChambeau has posted top-five finishes at both the Masters and PGA Championship in 2025 but missed the cut at last month’s U.S. Open.

DeChambeau admitted he was frustrated not to have secured a major win this season.

He said: “I’d say disappointed that I haven’t won one yet.

“I’ve got to fine-tune my game and focus on executing my shots the way I know I can on the golf course. I haven’t been doing that recently.

“A little bit more due diligence on my side of the coin. Not taking things for granted and focusing on what I can do to give myself the best chance to win at The Open.

“Probably being a little more strategic that week.”

The last time The Open was held at Royal Portrush was in 2019, Shane Lowry captured his first and only major title, and DeChambeau failed to make the cut that year, as he did at Royal Troon in 2024.

Asked if he had played Portrush before, he replied: “I played it last time around when Shane won.

Pressed on his memory of the course, DeChambeau added: “Yeah, it can be diabolical. Driver is key on that golf course in wind conditions, in side wind conditions.

“It’s going to be a tough test.”

Final Qualifying for The Open at Royal Portrush takes place next Tuesday across Burnham & Berrow, Dundonald Links, Royal Cinque Ports and West Lancashire.

The 153rd Open gets itself gets underway at Royal Portrush, 17–20 July 2025.

WHEN Maeve Duffy began experiencing a “persistent” earache, she never imagined it could be a rare and aggressive tumour that would leave her in “unimaginable pain”.

The “beautiful” young Co Wexford woman felt fit as a fiddle before the first symptom, which the family thought was a run of the mill earache, but now needs a life-saving surgery.

Maeve and her loving family are doing everything they can to ensure the life-saving surgery takes place[/caption]

Maeve, who is now 22-years-old, was diagnosed with facial nerve schwannoma when she was just 17.

The rare benign tumour grows on the nerve that controls facial movement and sensation and can result in facial paralysis, facial spasms, dizziness, balance problems and hearing loss.

And after exhausting every treatment available in Ireland – including radiation and years of delays and consultations – her doctors have told her that the tumour is inoperable here.

But there is hope.

Specialists in Germany, renowned for treating complex cases like Maeve’s, can help to give the kind and funny young girl a “real chance at recovery” – but the cost of the surgery is over €107,000.

Maeve’s desperate mum Siobhan is doing everything she can to raise the funds needed for the operation to ensure her little girl can return to her life.

Speaking to The Irish Sun, Siobhan told how the Covid-19 lockdown forced a surgery that could have removed Maeve’s tumour to be cancelled.

She said: “It started with an earache which we thought was just an earache. Then they said it was what they thought was a polyp.

“They tried to remove it, then went for surgery and when they did surgery they discovered it was a tumour and we were sent from Waterford to Dublin to Beaumont and she had all her scans and was scheduled for surgery in Beaumont.

“Unfortunately lockdown happened the day before her surgery and it was cancelled.

“So actually 14 months later we got back to Beaumont and they redid all the scans and they decided it was inoperable at that stage.”

Maeve was just 17-years-old when this took place and was worrying about her schoolwork and the impact this may have on her dreams to study biomedical science.

Siobhan explained: “She was doing her Leaving Certificate, she knuckled down with her study and tried to put it to the back of her mind. She wanted to go to college.

SYMPTOMS WORSENING

“We were worried about it but there was a lot happening at the time and she really did just want to get it sorted and get her Leaving Cert done and move to college.

“Maeve is obviously very bright and she wants to do biomedical science but this has all put her studies on hold.

“She’s not been able to study or go to college or actually do anything because of the pain and because of the side effects of the drugs.

“The drugs are almost as bad as the growth.”

In 2022, as Maeve’s symptoms started to worsen, the brave young woman underwent five rounds of aggressive radiation therapy, the maximum safe dose.

The goal of this was to stop the tumour’s growth and relieve her symptoms.

However, heartbroken mum Siobhan told us how, after the radiation, Maeve admitted: “Mam, I just can’t stick the pain, it’s horrendous”.

The side effects of Maeve’s radiation were severe and the tumour did not change as a result of the intense treatment.

Instead, she developed necrosis, triggering constant, excruciating pain.

She’s 22 and she wants to socialise and go to college but can’t because of her constant pain, nauseousness and dizziness. It’s just not possible for her.”

Siobhan, Maeve's aunt

Maeve was placed on high-dose steroids and Pregabalin – the side effects of which are immense.

And Siobhan described the drugs as “debilitating”, telling how her daughter has been battling the fierce side effects of the medication for two years now.

She explained: The side effects are not good, her quality of life has been reduced to a minimum.

“Maeve will never get off those tablets or drugs as long as that tumour is there.

“Our only hope to get her back is to get the tumour removed and that is not going to be done in Ireland – there is no one to do it.”

Siobhan told how the Duffy family was “so lucky” to get into contact with specialists at the International Neuroscience Institute in Hanover, Germany, renowned for treating complex cases like Maeve.

The family met the team and within weeks it was confirmed that surgery to remove Maeve’s tumour could be performed.

Siobhan’s mum said the team of medical experts have no fear of facial paralysis or any side effects of the operation and believe that, within a few months of the surgery, Maeve can be taken off all the medication she is currently taking.

The surgery can be completed as soon as July 8th – but the family has been forced to put the operation on hold until they raise enough to cover the staggering €107,000 price.

Siobhan said Maeve is “really looking forward” to getting the surgery over and done with so she can return home and follow her dream.

The young woman has a deferred place in a biomedical course in Maynooth University.

Siobhan said: She’s very eager to get back to college and study, and she’s also got job offers that she can’t even think about at the moment.

“It’s just to get the surgery over to get her life back so she can plan her future.”

Siobhan said the family is remaining strong for Maeve, adding: “We need to carry her.”

FAMILY’S PAIN

Siobhan’s sister Margaret told how the situation is “very hard” on the family, including Maeve’s two younger brothers.

She said: “It’s hard on them to see her suffering and not being able to go to college, not being able to do the things she wants to do.

“She’s 22 and she wants to socialise and go to college but can’t because of her constant pain, nauseousness and dizziness. It’s just not possible for her.”

Speaking about Maeve, Siobhan described her as a “beautiful person”.

She told The Irish Sun: “She’s a really sweet kid. She’s beautiful, a beautiful person, so kind.

“I would say a little on the old fashioned side as in she’s not your average trendy 22-year-old.

“She’s never been that person, she’s always very simple. She’s just, you know, she’s really sweet.”

And speaking about the whopping €50,000 that has already been raised for Maeve since the GoFundMe was launched just over a week ago, Siobhan said the support from people has been “unbelievable”.

She said: “It’s just been unbelievable. People have just come out of the woodwork. It’s amazing.”
