"Big congrats to Áine and Paul," he continued. "I've no doubt she will be a sporty young girl, so I've already spoken to her about the nominees for Sportswoman Of The Year."

Ellie is Des' second grandchild. His daughter Amy welcomed a baby boy last year.
At the time, Des shared a photo of the newborn on his Instagram page and wrote: "So I became a GRANDAD today!!"
"I can't go in to visit him or his fantastic mother, but I've already decided my ambition for him is that when he rocks up to Coppers Nightclub in 18 or 19 years, the lads on the door will say 'Go ahead - your Grandad is already inside!'"
We're wishing all the Cahills our best as they welcome their newest member.
