Conor McGregor jets off with sister Aoife on private plane but deletes Instagram post

Conor McGregor jetted back out of Ireland on Wednesday after returning home for his sister Erin's 41st birthday party.

The UFC star posed for a photo as he boarded a private plane with his other sister Aoife at Dublin Airport.

But he deleted the Instagram post minutes later before Aoife shared a snap from inside the plane of a designer Chanel handbag behind a plate of fresh fruit.

McGregor had been holidaying in southern France before returning home to party with his friends and family at his Black Forge Inn pub in Crumlin.

The Notorious splashed out more than €50,000 on a Rolex watch for Erin.

The Dubliner flew in to appear at his eldest sister’s surprise 41st birthday party over the weekend and gifted her the Rolex, which costs €51,750.

The watch is an oyster perpetual day-date 36 in 18 ct white gold, with a white mother-of-pearl, a diamond set dial and diamond-set bezel. The watch is finished with a President bracelet.

According to Rolex website, it’s dial features diamonds in 18 ct gold settings and baguette-cut diamonds at 6 and 9 o'clock. The Day-Date was the first watch to indicate the day of the week spelt out in full when it was first presented in 1956.

The mother-of-two paid tribute to her baby brother and father-of-three, saying: "Best night ever 40 plus 1 was definitely worth the wait.

"The @theblackforgeinn was where my family had a surprise 18th birthday party for me and here we are in the very same spot all brought together by @thenotoriousmma many years later.

"Making memories together in a pub and an area we grew up in. What an amazing day & night was had by all.

What a journey we are on. I still can’t believe it somedays [sic]."

She then paid tribute to her MMA brother, saying: “I’ll always remember your words to me when I had no money to fix my broken car as I cried my eyes… “it won’t always be like this for you I promise you sister” and true to your word it wasn’t.

“@thenotoriousmma. What a journey we are on. Thank you for taking us all along with you #grateful for you showing me to never give up on my dreams.”
