Ronnie O'Sullivan's £2m decision after getting back with Strictly Come Dancing star girlfriend Laila Rouass
Ronnie O'Sullivan is said to have got back together with former fiancee Laila Rouass, having split up nine months ago, and the couple are set to quit the UK for a fresh start in Dubai Snooker ace Ronnie O'Sullivan has reportedly rekindled his romance with former partner Laila Rouass, just nine months after the couple called it quits. 'The Rocket' had parted ways with the Strictly Come Dancing celebrity last year after a 13-year relationship. The split came during what many consider to have been O'Sullivan's toughest period professionally, with limited appearances in 2025 leading up to this year's World Championship. However, it seems the pair have found their way back to each other, with reports indicating they are now an item once again. The Sun claims that the couple have reunited and are planning a move to Dubai. They are said to be selling their £2million property in Epping Forest in preparation for their relocation. A source said: "They have been back together for a while. "The time apart gave them time to think about what they want and what is important to them - and that is being together. "Ronnie is moving to the Middle East and Laila is going with him. They've talked about living in Dubai, which is just a two-hour flight from where Ronnie has his snooker academy in Saudi Arabia. "He has spoken to people on his snooker circuit about the move and is excited about a clean break from the UK for him and Laila. "They have had their issues in the past but Ronnie and Laila have worked through it and seem really happy again. The people who know them think they make a great couple and just want them to live a happy, quiet life. "They've been on and off before but Ronnie really wants to make it work with Laila," the source continued. "She will be joining him in the Middle East and they'll see how it goes." Following their earlier split in March, Rouass took to Instagram to reflect on the separation. "Break ups can strip you down to your essence," she wrote. "I got through mine by using pain as fuel to take control because no matter what, we will lose parts of ourselves in relationships. It's normal, don't beat yourself up. "One thing I'm conscious of not doing is trying to get back where I was. No, I'm discovering who I've become. "I've gone through various emotions... hurt, pain, anger but what I've realised about anger is that it's bottomless." In May, O'Sullivan reached the World Championship semi-finals. He was beaten by Zhao Xintong, the eventual champion at the Crucible.

Strictly Come Dancing winner heartbroken as their business burns down in a fire
Georgia May Foote first found fame on Coronation Street but the Strictly Come Dancing winner has been working as a nail technician for the last four years Coronation Street star Georgia May Foote has revealed that her beauty business has burned down in a fire. The 34-year-old took to her Instagram page to tell her followers about the sad news. The Strictly Come Dancing winner has been working as a nail technician as well as acting for the last four years and has her own beauty business. Georgia explains in the video that other people's businesses have also been impacted by the fire. She said: "Now as some of you may know I've been a nail technician now for the past 4 years alongside my acting. Unfortunately my beautiful little studio was affected by a huge fire within the storage world unit in Middleton last night. "Not only has my business burnt down, but so has many other peoples. Along with peoples most loved possessions. My heart goes out to them all." She added: "Even though as beauticians we can move into a new space, our stock and tools, which we spend years collecting have all gone. We can no longer work. My friends and fellow beauticians have to literally start again. With no way of even making the money to buy these tools. "Some of them have children. I am asking if you could please help us all by just giving a little towards helping my friends rebuild their businesses. "We would be eternally grateful. Fire is the most devastating thing. Thousands of pounds of stock has gone in seconds." Friends and fans of the star took to the comment section to leave their sympathetic comments. One said: "Love this! Let the community come together." As a second wrote: "Sending you all so much love this is just heartbreaking," with a third adding: "So sorry. Let me know if I can help." Georgia recently opened up about struggling with an incurable skin disease. The former Coronation Street star is living with vitiligo and shared photos of the disorder while admitting she was having a tough time handling the illness. According to the NHS, vitiligo is a "long-term condition where pale white patches develop on the skin" and is caused by an autoimmune disorder. Georgia said that she first started suffering with the issue in 2020 but it's only got worse and is now on her face. She snapped a selfie as she sat in her car and wrote: "My heart goes out to anyone who has this condition. Mine was brought on in 2020 [upside down face] I wonder why! "I just wanted to show the reality of it. Some days are so so hard and I get so angry about it. I will always try to be brave to show others with the condition that it's ok. Sometimes it gets the best of me." She added: "We have got this. I pray one day we get the cream passed for use in this country. When I go on holiday in a few weeks I beg to please be kind with comments. I know you will be able to see a lot and it's going to be hard to deal with."

Snooker star Ronnie O'Sullivan 'BACK with Laila Rouass' after nine month split as couple make decision on leaving the UK
Snooker star Ronnie O'Sullivan and Laila Rouass have reportedly rekindled their relationship a mere nine months after they broke up. The couple had a tumultuous on-off 13-year relationship and were engaged before they separated last year. Their split coincided with a poor run of form for the seven-time world champion, who last month admitted he needed to 'figure out' what his 'future holds.' O'Sullivan is now back with actress and Strictly Come Dancing star Rouass and they look set to move to Dubai. Last month, the 49-year-old revealed he was leaving the UK to relocate to the Middle East, while also casting doubt on his snooker future. His plans appear to be edging closer, with the eight-time Masters champion's £2million Epping Forest house up for sale and Rouass joining him in the move. 'The time apart gave them time to think about what they want and what is important to them — and that is being together,' a source told The Sun. 'Ronnie is moving to the Middle East and Laila is going with him. They've talked about living in Dubai, which is just a two-hour flight from where Ronnie has his snooker academy in Saudi Arabia. Last year, O'Sullivan signed a three-year ambassadorial deal with Riyadh Season before unveiling his own snooker academy in October. While the pair have revived their relationship, last year Rouass admitted that 'break ups can strip you down to your essence. 'I got through mine by using pain as fuel to take control because no matter what, we will lose parts of ourselves in relationships. It's normal, don't beat yourself up. 'One thing I'm conscious of not doing is trying to get back where I was. No, I'm discovering who I've become. I've gone through various emotions... hurt, pain, anger but what I've realised about anger is that it's bottomless.' MailOnline previously revealed that the couple put their £2 million Epping Forest home up for sale earlier this year. Images of the house showed a luxury interior including Ronnie's favourite portrait of Raquel Welch on a crucifix which adorned the wall of a staircase. But despite the smart white carpeting and plush decor, O'Sullivan could never persuade his ex-love to agree to install a snooker table, friends revealed to Mail Online. The couple's relationship first blossomed in 2011 after the snooker star called her up to view his house that was put on the market and was given a tour by his father Ronnie O'Sullivan Sr.
