DARIUS LIPSIUC has joined Walsall on loan from Stoke City until the end of the season.

Lipsiuc, 19, joined Stoke from St Pat’s a year ago having previously played for his local club St Mochta’s.

He made his first-team debut with a cameo appearance in the Carabao Cup win over Fleetwood Town in September and won his first Ireland under-21 cap against Sweden in November.

And the midfielder will now gain more experience with the League Two outfit.

He said: “It’s been a long time coming with talks throughout the whole window so I’m buzzing and ready to go.

“It’s my time to get football experience in the league now and there is no better place to start than Walsall.

“The team is flying at the moment so hopefully I can help as much as I can and get as many minutes as possible.”

Walsall boss Matt Sadler added: “Darius is an all-action, powerful midfield player. He wants to run, wants to work hard.

“He’s got a very good attitude and fits the mould of the type of player that we want.”

Elsewhere, former Ireland youth star Ali Reghba has joined Slovenia’s most successful club, NK Maribor.

The 25-year-old Dubliner moves to Maribor – who lie second in the table – on a two-and-a-half-year contract.

The ex-Ireland youth international had caught the eye for Rabotnicki in Macedonia, scoring seven times and providing five assists in 11 games before the mid-season break.

Slovenia will be the fourth country in which the forward has plied his trade.

After impressing for Bohemians, he was snapped up by Leicester City in July 2019 where he lined out for their Under-21 side.

Three years ago, he joined CR Belouizdad in Algeria, his father’s home country, before linking up with Rabotnicki a year ago.

BOXING star John Cooney is fighting for his life in intensive care after doctors discovered a brain injury after his latest fight.

She took to Instagram to post a photo of Jake craddling the tot and their daughter Alba, two.

And now she’s shared the sweet moniker too, revealing to her fans that her name is Pixi Cecilia.

Charlotte wrote: “Pixi Cecilia Ankers welcome to the world our beautiful baby girl! You are absolutely perfect 31.01.25.

“It’s been a rollercoaster of a weekend! And I’m so overwhelmed with all your beautiful messages about the newsletter that went out today with our first look into our weekend as a family of 4.”

MICHAEL Gove’s wife and daughter were left terrified after being “rammed” by a car during a road rage incident.

Journalist Sarah Vine, the ex-wife of the former Tory politician, says she and daughter Beatrice, 20, were bumped by a Porsche in West London on Sunday.

She claimed the “preposterous” driver had taken “umbrage” when she stopped her car to let a pedestrian cross at a red light in the in the Parsons Green area.

The man is said to have then tried to undertake her car at the red lights.

Ms Vine described how the driver then followed her for around half a mile, before “ramming his car into the back of mine”.

Taking to Instagram after the collision, she wrote: “Today my daughter and I were in the car. Behind us, this man.

“He seemed to take umbrage when I stopped to let a pedestrian cross (the lights ahead were red anyway). He tried to undertake me, but failed.

“He then tailgated me for about half a mile, gesticulating like a demented ape, before eventually ramming his car into the back of mine.

“My daughter was very scared, so I just moved off, having decided he was too out of control to confront. He then fell back, and turned off onto a side road.”

Ms Vine said she has reported the driver to police.

She also claimed the man had “picked on the wrong b****”.

Ms Vine is the ex-wife of former Tory Cabinet Minister Mr Gove.

The pair married in 2001, two years after meeting.

During their relationship, the then couple had two children together.

However, they finalised their divorce in January 2022 – having announced they were separating in July the previous year.

The columnist later confirmed in an interview with Tatler that her ex-husband’s political career played a huge role in the breakdown of their relationship.

Ms Vine is also godmother to former Prime Minister David Cameron‘s daughter Florence and has spoken of her “close friendship” with the former PM and his wife Samantha.

A well-balanced diet supported by good sleep hygiene and regular exercise can certainly help you live longer, but the secret to longevity isn’t linear. Some supercentenarians say the key is to omit coffee, alcohol, and sugars, while others attribute their longevity to specific food groups. But for the 93-year-old mother of actor Matthew McConaughey, it boils down to having a positive attitude and a clean diet. In a Q&A with City Lifestyle, Kay McConaughey opened up about feeling fulfilled at the ripe age of 93 and how she sustains such a "vibrant" outlook on life.

"I think a lot, a lot has to do with my positive attitude. I really have a positive attitude, and I eat well. I eat clean," she told the outlet.

McConaughey prioritizes breakfast.

McConaughey's first meal of the day is always packed with essential vitamins, minerals, fiber, and protein. For breakfast, she reaches for a mango- or peach-flavored yogurt and garnishes it with fresh-cut fruit, such as bananas, kiwis, or mango.

"I love my breakfast," she beamed.

She avoids red meat.

Although McConaughey isn’t much of a cook, there is one dish she could make again and again and never get tired of.

"I only cook stew," she shared. "It’s fun, you just put everything in a pot, meat, carrots, potatoes, some mushrooms and a cup of red wine and stir it and put it in the oven at 350 degrees for one hour and it comes out a wonderful stew."

However, you won’t find chuck steak, beef shoulder, or brisket in her stew.

"I only eat fish and chicken, I don’t eat red meat,” said McConaughey (unless it’s a special occasion). "When I go to Matthew and Camila’s house I do because they like red meat and I would never refuse it, but it’s not something that I would choose."

And her daughter-in-law is a fabulous cook, too, said the 93-year-old matriarch: "I love Camila’s coleslaw and salmon."

But she loves wine.

After dinner, McConaughey is more likely to treat herself to a second glass of wine than dessert.

"We never have any sweets in our house, ever,” she said, noting that wine is her sweet treat of choice. "I have a glass at 5 o’clock and then I have a glass when I go to bed."

Her favorite winemaker? Kendall Jackson, a family-owned winery from Sonoma, California.

"I don’t drink any other kind. If I came to your house and you didn’t have Kendall Jackson, and you had a nice Chardonnay, I would drink it. I wouldn't be obnoxious and say, 'It’s not Kendall Jackson, I’m not drinking it,' but if I can get Kendall Jackson, that's what I prefer," she said.

McConaughey also makes time for exercise.

McConaughey also attributes her longevity to exercise. Her workout routine includes one hour of pilates four days per week: "That keeps me fit."

According to Peloton, pilates strengthens core muscles and pelvic floor muscles, helps with mobility and pain relief, improves posture, boosts flexibility, and can enhance your mental health.

And she maintains a positive attitude.

Not to be overlooked is McConaughey's positive attitude. On her 92nd birthday, her daughter-in-law shared a video with her on Instagram, where she shared a bit of her wisdom.

"I had said it so many times that Matthew, my son, made a frame—a really, really, really big frame—and he put on it, 'Are you going to see the rose in the vase or the dust on the table?' And then he put a mirror in the frame, and it's in my house and so every time I go down the hall, I have to have a look at myself and see it," she said. "So that is a thought for the day for you. It is so easy to make that your thought. Doesn't just have to be today."

This past New Year's, McConaughey (who her children and grandchildren call MaMac) shared that her resolution is "happiness and good health."

"When you're feeling good, then other things kind of fall into place," she said. "The fact of my age, and I'm still so healthy, and [Camila's] got the gratitude, I put those things together, and it works for me."

MESSY singer Lola Young has left fans gobsmacked after realising she’s a secret nepo baby, with a very famous aunt.

Lola’s song Messy has skyrocketed to popularity recently, and backtracks many Instagram and TikTok videos.

Lola’s song Messy has skyrocketed to success recently[/caption]

And it’s led fans of the track to want to know more about the talented 24-year-old.

Lola started writing songs aged 11, and by 13 had competed in and won a national open mic competition.

She was a student at the famous Brit School in Croydon which counts Adele and Amy Winehouse has past pupils.

And fans might also recognise her voice from the 2021 John Lewis Christmas advert, named the Unexpected Guest.

But people are only just realising Lola has a famous aunt – none other than Julia Donaldson.

Julia, 76, is the author behind children’s book The Gruffalo and various other popular titles.

She’s a Scottish author, who used to write songs for children’s TV, and was the Children’s Laureate between 2011 and 2013, after she enjoyed her first major success in the late 90s.

The West Sussex resident was awarded an MBE in 2011 and her books are illustrated by Axel Scheffler.

But Lola has faced backlash over the fact that Julia is her famous auntie.

After discovering the family connection, one person took to X and wrote: “Hello aunty do you know anyone in creative media in which you also work and are very successful in.”

A second penned: “Feel like this woman appeared out of nowhere in the past few months so I had a Google. Her Auntie wrote ‘The Gruffalo’ and she went to the BRIT school. LOL. Same as it ever was.”

And another echoed: “Imagine you studied your craft at a performing arts school  have been grinding for years as a singer, you finally get recognition & people are calling you a nepo monster because your aunt wrote “who is this creature with terrible claws and terrible teeth in his terrible jaws.””

Lola has referenced her “artistic family” in an interview in the past.

“Coming from an art­istic family was really helpful because they understood that music is a real job, that I can make money from it. I never had a plan B,” she told The Telegraph.

Since mid-2020 Lola has been in the studio writing with super-producer Paul Epworth, who has worked with artists include Adele, Florence + the Machine and Rihanna.

She was also recognised in the 2021 Brit Awards with a rising star nomination.

GLASTONBURY fans have worked out that one popular band will be unlikely to appear at the festival despite heavy speculation.

Touring dates for the band appear to rule then out from taking to the stage at Worthy Farm in Somerset.

Nine Inch Nails had been heavily tipped to make an appaearacne at the festival but it now seems that they won’t be there at all.

Whilst the group will be on tour during June, their schedule places them out in mainland Europe the same weekend as the music festival.

The rockers currently have gigs lined up in Switzerland, Austria and the Netherlands during Glasto weekend.

Whilst one date in their schedule remains free, fans of the group think it is unlikely they will jet into the UK to play the gig with such short time in-between their already scheduled arena gigs.

For fans of the group, they could still catch the band in the UK earlier in the month.

Earlier in the month, the band have headlining shows at The O2 Arena in London as well as the Co-op Live in Manchester.

Having viewed their tour dates, one fan declared: “From their tour dates I doubt they would fly back in between other gigs.”

It led another to comment: “That’s a damn shame.”

Rockers Nine Inch Nails first formed in 1998.

The group is led by singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Trent Reznor.

He is supported by Atticus Rose who joined the group full-time in 2016 having previously just appeared at live shows.

Trent was the sole full-time member of the band for many years and was joined by a string of musicians for their tours and album sessions.

Their highest-charting album in the UK, Hesitation Marks, was released in 2013 and reached number two on the UK Albums Charts.
