DARREN MURPHY, 25, was excused from appearing in court so that he could enjoy holiday in Ibiza with pals while on bail for killing John Morrison in unprovoked attack.

A THUG who killed an ex-council leader with a single punch partied with his pals during a holiday in Ibiza just weeks before he stood in the dock.

Shameless Darren Murphy, 25, lived it up on the sunshine island while on bail for killing John Morrison in a vicious attack.

His legal team even managed to get him excused from a court appearance because of the trip.

Officials were forced to re-arrange a plea hearing in September so Murphy could jet off with his mates.

Bank worker Murphy, who was convicted of killing John last week, told the jury at the High Court in Glasgow he had thought about nothing else since John died.

But after his sunshine break, he posted photographs on Facebook showing him partying by the pool and in a nightclub.

He also posted a snap of himself drinking beer with Happy Mondays star Bez at Glasgow Green and another with his face painted like a tiger during birthday celebrations.

Murphy was found guilty of killing former East Dunbartonshire Council leader John, 51, of Milngavie, in the motiveless attack exactly a year ago.

He claimed hed acted in self-defence during the assault in Glasgow city centre.

British actor Leslie Phillips has cancelled his honeymoon after doctors booked him in for surgery to remove a growth from his nose.

The Carry On star, 89, married social worker Zara Carr in London on Friday (20Dec13) but has now revealed their post-wedding vacation was called off so medics could investigate a large facial lump.

Phillips is preparing to undergo surgery to remove the growth, but is relieved after medics discovered it to be non-cancerous.

He tells Britain's Sunday Mirror newspaper, "We won't be going straight away because I'll be in hospital. I have to get this thing removed. Thank God, it isn't cancer. It just looks rather awful at the moment but I am getting that sorted. We have been for all the appointments and the next part will be in a couple of weeks."

The couple will jet off for a sunshine break in Ibiza, Spain after the operation.

He adds, "I own a house in Ibiza where we will go. That will be the honeymoon really."

Earlier this year while partying at a mate's wedding in Ibiza, Spain, Ed Sheeran looked down at his phone and saw an email from New Zealand director Peter Jackson.

It was 4am and the 22-year-old Englishman struggled to focus.

"I was off my face drunk," Sheeran, during an interview at the Beverly Hilton Hotel recently, told AAP.

"There was a lot of champagne and champagne gets me drunk quite quickly.

"I looked at the email. It was like a dream. I didn't process.

"Then I put my phone away and continued partying."

It wasn't until a bleary-eyed Sheeran woke up late the next day he recalled the email.

"I read it again and said, 'Shit!'," Sheeran said.

"I told my manager and he said, 'Shit!'"

Jackson was looking for an artist to write and perform a song for when the credits roll at the end of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, the second chapter of the Kiwi director's three-part adaptation of JRR Tolkien's fantasy-adventure tale.

A Peru court has sentenced an Irish and a British woman to six years and eight months prison each for trafficking cocaine, in a case that triggered a media firestorm in their homelands.

Michaella Connolly, from Ireland, and Melissa Reid, both 20, were arrested last August in Lima international airport as they were trying to leave for Spain.

The pair pleaded guilty in September to attempting to smuggle out of Peru just over 11 kilos of cocaine with an estimated value of $US2.3 million ($A2.58 million).

The cocaine was found stashed in packages of cereal in the belongings of both young women.

The young women had initially denied guilt, claiming they had been coerced into smuggling by a shady international cartel after being kidnapped on the Spanish holiday island of Ibiza.

But they later changed their story, saying they 'knew they were going to transport drugs, and that they regret having participated in such an act,' according to a previous court press release.

The Callao court that heard their case said their sentence had been reduced from eight years to six years and eight months under a plea bargain with prosecutors.

They were also fined 10,000 soles (about $US4,000) each, and ordered to perform 280 days of community service.

Callao prosecutors had insisted that as part of the plea bargain the women explain the smuggling scheme in detail, naming others in the organisation they worked with.

'Prosecutors do not believe that they alone took a plane from Spain to Peru, bought drugs and then tried to go back to Europe. They have got to give details about the members of the group they worked with,' prosecutor Juan Mendoza said in September after they pleaded guilty.
