Earlier this week, the dad-of-two told his Virgin Radio UK listeners: "I have a little bit of news that I was kind of keeping a little bit to myself - to ourselves. "Even though I'm a public person doing the job I do, I also have quite a lot of privacy that I like to keep to myself. HAPPY COUPLE "However, the cat has been removed from the bag for a number of reasons and I'm very, very, very happy to confirm that I did indeed get engaged to my partner Clare on Thursday evening in the West of Ireland." Speaking about his longterm love, Tubs previously told The Irish Sun: "She has brought an awful lot of joy into my life and happiness and support. "I don't want to talk too much about her, because my private life has always stayed private. "But I think anyone who has met or knows Clare will know exactly why we are seeing each other. I feel very lucky." Asked at the time if the clinical psychologist, who he first interviewed on his RTE Radio One show in March 2023, had been a major support during the last six months. Tubs replied: "Remarkably so."

Ryan Tubridy opens up about romantic proposal to Dr Clare Kambamettu
Ex-RTE star Ryan Tubridy has shared the details of his romantic proposal to his long-term girlfriend, Dr Clare Kambamettu. The radio presenter and podcast host popped the question last week, informing his listeners on Tuesday about the wonderful news. Now, he has shared the details of where he got down on one knee, as well as how he chose the perfect ring. After a trip to Japan, the Virgin Radio host flew back to Ireland to prepare for what he called a "life-changing" experience. "I don't want to give all the details but I do want to share a few moments because some people were enormously helpful along the way," he said. "Firstly, I knew I wanted to buy the ring in Clifden where the local jewellery shop has been a beautiful and important family concern for decades, and both myself and Clare love the area. "I've also been preaching about shopping local for years so I wasn't going to Tiffany's… I called Jonty Daly in O'Dalaigh's and asked for some guidance and I can tell you, the man's a diamond!" Writing in his Mail on Sunday column, the father-of-two added: "The care, attention and thought he put into every detail was above and beyond, right down to him driving out to Renvyle House Hotel to deliver the 'package' to Anne Marie Kelly, the incomparable general manager there. It was all so much fun and it felt distinctly Irish." Ryan has spoken many times about his love for the west coast of Ireland, so it's only fitting that the couple had their special moment there. "By the Atlantic shore, I asked the important question and thankfully, the answer was in the affirmative – and so began the most gorgeous weekend," he said. Tubridy also cleared up confusion that the jewellers had accidentally announced his engagement. "The staff and joyful hotel patrons helped make it all feel special. We called into Jonty the next day to thank him and his staff; there was a little confusion about online stories but that was entirely at my end. Jonty did not let the cat out of the bag, it was an innocent miscommunication and we're all firm friends. "In fact, he joined us at The Abbeyglen Castle Hotel that evening where my cousin Brian Hughes and his amazing wife, Michelle, raised a few glasses with another cousin, Rachael Coyle and her brilliant husband, Shane.

Allison Janney keeps her Oscar in different rooms around her house
Allison Janney moves her Oscar around the house. The 65-year-old star won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the 2017 movie 'I, Tonya' and explained that she puts the gong in various places in her property to remind herself of the success. Speaking to the Mail on Sunday newspaper's You magazine, Allison said: "He moves around a lot. Sometimes he's in the kitchen. Sometimes he's on the top of the bookshelf I have in the living room. Sometimes he's in my office. It depends where he is needed. "I'm in the bedroom and sometimes I need to look at Oscar. I just look at it and go, 'That happened. That really happened.'" Allison recalled that she didn't get the chance to revel in her Oscar win as she was filming for her role as Bonnie Plunkett in the TV series 'Mom' the day after the ceremony. She said: "I went to bed at 2am, got up at 4.30am to do the TV talk show 'Live with Kelly and Ryan', then went to work. We did the read-through of the 'Mom' script and then they said congratulations (for the Oscar win) and sent us all home." Janney has never been married, although she was engaged to actor Richard Jenik between 2004 and 2006, and admits that she has no interest in trying to find love at the moment. 'The West Wing' star explained: "I don't date any more. Dating sounds awful. I've only had long-term relationships. The people I wound up with were friends who slowly developed into something. "I joined one of the dating apps once, Raya, but I didn't actually engage with it. That's on the backburner indefinitely." Allison also recounted a hilarious language misunderstanding as a crew member made a request to keep her cool during hot weather in Italy during the making of her latest movie 'Another Simple Favor'. She said: "I have this wig on and I'm sweating. The American assistant director looks at the Italian assistant director and says, 'Get Miss Janney a fan.' And the Italian assistant director comes back with two people - he thought that I needed to have fans of my work. "I'm laughing, wondering how he tried to find fans of Allison Janney. 'Come on, has anyone seen her in 'The West Wing'? He's probably listing my credits and no one knows who I am."

‘Really dark': Concerns for Prince Harry's mental health
The ongoing saga between Prince Harry and the royal family has taken another turn with royal commentators and insiders stating they are concerned for the Duke of Sussex's mental health. In a week where his father and brother celebrated VE day in the UK, Harry remains on the outer after stating he will not return to Britain with his family after a high court decision denied them government funded protection. The royal family including King Charles, Queen Camilla and the Prince and Princess of Wales spent the week paying tribute to those who lost their lives in WWII and the living veterans who continue to document their experiences. But after the bombshell interview Prince Harry delivered on the BBC stating that he was 'stitched up' by his family with regard to the security decisions and his fractured realtionship with his father, their movements have been overshadowed. The Duke of Sussex, 40, said he was left 'devastated' over the loss of the year long court battle and claimed he was the victim of a 'good old fashioned establishment stitch up'. The Prince launched an unprecedented attack on his family and disclosed he has fears for his father's mortality as he continues to fight cancer. 'He 'won't speak to me,' the Prince said of King Charles. 'Life is precious. I don't know how much longer my father has, he won't speak to me because of this security stuff. 'It would be nice to reconcile.' Daily Mail Royal Editor Rebecca English has described the actions as as a 'monumental hissy fit'. 'Some aspects of it are really very disturbing,' Ms English said. 'He effectively said that he believed there were people who actively wished him harm and he felt those people would see what happened 'as a win', as he described it. 'Where Harry goes from here, I don't know. 'He has obviously had a monumental hissy fit on television afterwards, to put it mildly.' Charlotte Griffiths, the Mail on Sunday's Editor at Large, joined Rebecca English, Richard Eden and Jo Elvin on Palace Confidential and all stated they had concerns for the Prince's mental welfare.. 'Harry just seemed beyond furious,' Elvon said. 'I am going to have to be careful with how I phrase this, but I thought he didn't look well in his expression, his demeanour,' Eden added. 'Often if you are angry about something, people say you should sleep on it but this seemed to be something, and I think the BBC would confirm that it was done in a hurry.' 'He said a series of very unpleasant, provocative and dark, disturbing things, frankly.' 'The suggestions that he doesn't know how long his father had to live which obviously increases speculation about the King's cancer. 'He was portraying the decision as an 'establishment stitch-up' and then you think well, why did you go to court and spend £1.5 million in the first place if you thought it was a stitch-up and it wouldn't make any difference, so that was odd.' 'He was hinting at evidence which he had seen which wasn't made public which he suggested showed that dark forces were out to get him and they wanted the same fate to befall him and his family as did his mother Diana. 'Really dark and certainly got me questioning his state of mind, frankly.'
