CONOR McGREGOR popped to his local off license to buy his own Proper No12 whiskey - and even joked about the 'heavy' £35 price.

And it was no surprise when the 32-year-old found just two bottles left when he visited a Kildare shop. McGregor filmed himself purchasing one, without a face mask, and even laughed off the cost as he thanked the local support. He told the cashier: "I'll buy the second to last bottle.

MISSION Impossible’s all about pulling off the unfeasible – but shooting the film during a pandemic is a challenge too far for leading man Tom Cruise and his team. He flew the cast and crew to the Middle East for the latest run of scenes, but has been forced to end filming of the seventh instalment of the franchise after people refused to work any longer. Production staff demanded they were allowed to head back to the UK this weekend before hotel quarantine rules come into effect on Monday.
