Rory McIlroy’s latest tiff with former lover Holly Sweeney has been caught on camera – after he begged her not to host a ‘golf pros, tennis hoes’ themed dinner party.

The Belfast model hosted the bash at her home as part of a Christmas ‘Celebrity Come Dine With Me’ special for Irish television station TV3.

McIlroy, who took up with world tennis number one Caroline Wozniacki straight after breaking up with childhood sweetheart Sweeney, texted Holly pleading with her to cancel the dinner.

His texts were received as Holly prepared the dinner – and were caught live on camera by the show’s makers.

The Irish Daily Mail has reported that the 20-year-old Ulster Rugby cheerleader ‘laughed’ when she read the texts.

A programme source said: “She was preparing the starter when her iPhone went off. A series of text messages arrived one after another and she just stopped dead in the kitchen.

“She started laughing and said Rory had just discovered that she was having a tennis and golf themed night and asked her to back out of it. She just laughed and carried on cooking.”

Holly’s determination to enjoy herself manifested itself when she arrived at the dinner table dressed in a ‘very short’ white tennis skirt and tight top.

Programme makers have promised that Holly will offer ‘some fireworks’ over the dinner table when the show is aired at Christmas.

The show also features model Pippa O’Connor and former Irish rugby international Shane Byrne.

Firstly, Woznacki was no one for a very short time. AND no one in the tennis world could understand why. Frankly, though she is a very good tennis player, she is a little common, cheap, silly and light brained. Probably a good match for yer man, Rory, who also seems a little light brained. As we have seen again and again in football, luckily, one doesn't have to have intelligence to be an athlete.

Rory: go Mormon and have them both. Holly: maybe you should have gotten hitched before moving in. Morals do go out of style but they never really change.

I can't thank you enough for all that you have done for me. About a year ago I my partner split up, we had both made BIG mistakes in our relationship. He ended up moving away from me to pursue a new life. I knew in my heart that he would be the only one to make me happy. I was relieved when I found your email on a site about what you have done. I requested 1 to 2 day casting of the reunite us love spell and within 3days mark company had relocated him back to our hometown where I still lived. We immediately reconnected and move in with each other. Our wedding date is set for Summer 2012. Expect to see your invite in the mail thanks to upesaspelltemple@gmail.com

When ye puts yer putter in another caddy's bag, a true readin' of the green becomes more public. Ask Tiger about Stevie's comment after also bein' scorned by his partner of many years...
