In a leak that can only to be compared to that of Edward Snowden's, the Daily Mirror have today published a story from a unnamed source who claims Rachel Wyse and Joe Canning are dating.
I know what you're thinking: 'Why hasn't the world been brought to a halt?' 'Has the US president been informed?' 'Will all our lives be now be changed forever more?'
These are questions I can't answer at the moment but what I may be able to do is reach a conclusion over who exactly is the source behind this scandal. Here are my thoughts, ranked in order of likelihood...
5. Anthony Cunningham
If it is Cunningham then we've no idea what his motives are but consider these two strong pieces of evidence. First of all...
His eyebrows
Look at those eyebrows and try telling me they're not the most gossipy eyebrows you've ever seen. The truth is written all over his face!
The WhatsApp group
Speaking about Canning's links with Wyse, the source told the Daily Mirror:
Joe has always kept himself to himself and even when the hurling lads slag him in the Whatsapp group he doesn’t react so it’s all been very hush-hush.
Obviously this leak has to come from within the WhatsApp group. We're through the looking glass here, people! I can't feel my legs any more.
4. Brian Carney
Rachel and her co-presenter Carney have had a troubled past, originating from the time, when asked by Balls.ie, which of her Sky Sports colleagues she'd most like to go into space with, Wyse said 'Definitely not Brian.'
Our theory is that Carney has waited until now to strike back. The devious, shiny haired Devil!
The face of evil - like a young Professor Snape
3. Jim White
What does Jim White love more than anything? Being on his bloody phone 24/7. Like a teenager desperately waiting on their beau to text back, White spends all day checking his dog-and-bone, sending out emojis to everyone and rumour has it he's actually the creator of those chain 'send this to ten people or everyone you love will die' messages.
So consider this quote from the Mirror's 'leak':
She pops up in his Snapchats and she was out in his company after Galway beat Cork last month.
Pops up in his Snapchats, does she? Come clean White! The game's up. We know it's you, you Snapchat fiend. Quit sending selfies and tell the truth!

2. Ollie Canning
I'm not sure whether Ollie should be ranked as the most or least likely. Perhaps he'd been kept in the dark, perhaps he still doesn't know? Or, perhaps he found out moments before they were about to tell him and now he has decided to leak it to the press as some sort of revenge. We're on to you Ollie! I know what you're up to!
1. Brian Cody
Aside from the SHOCKING revelations about the Snapchats and the WhatsApp group, there's one quote from the Mirror's Deep Throat which sticks out the most.
The source says 'Apparently they’re waiting until after the Championship is over to make things official.' Are they now? And why would someone then go and break the news before they would have wished? In fact why would anyone tried to make it news at all?
I'll tell you why.
Because Brian Cody is trying to ruffle Galway's feathers. He's trying to get inside Canning's head. This is hurling shenanigans 101. My face is literally falling off with disgust!
The culprit
