The Olympics meets Gossip Girl...

Irish boxer Paddy Barnes and tennis player Caroline Wozniacki are in Rio at the moment, ready to do their utmost to bring home the gold for their respective countries. In case you missed the furore, Rory McIlroy is not in Rio, having cited fears over the Zika virus as his reason for staying home. Barnes clearly bumped into McIlroy's ex-fiancee Wozniacki at some point since landing in Brazil, because he's teased the golfer with a picture of the two of them, saying "I think we make a great couple, what ya think @McIlroyRory?" https://twitter.com/paddyb_ireland/status/761907359375564800 Screen Shot 2016-08-06 at 13.53.39 We would say that Barnes is a brave man but, at the end of the day, it's not exactly as if anybody's going to start a fight with him over this.
