Love Island

Love Island star Nabila Badda isn't overly shocked by the latest reports that her co-stars, Chris Taylor and Harley Brash, are the first couple to break up.

Nabila was close to Harley before she even entered the villa over the summer, so she was happy to give her opinion on the split while talking to FUBAR Radio yesterday.

"I am not surprised about that, I'll be honest with you," she said.

The Casa Amor Islander, who received barely any air time, revealed that she never had much hope that Chris and Harley would make their romance work outside the villa.

"I knew her before and who she'd be interested in and I don't think that Chris is her kind of type," Nabila explained. "She said that as well. So, yeah. Chris will be lapped up real quick."

Almost straight after leaving the villa, Chris was confronted on live TV over photos of Anton Danyluk getting pretty cosy with Harley on a night out.

"Every time I'm asked about it, I'm asked questions we haven't discussed yet," Chris stated on This Morning a few days after the Love Island final.

"We haven't had a chat about it, we're moving at the pace that we want to move at, regardless of the situation of people pushing it and stuff."

He then stressed: "This is a real-life situation." Well, that situation is now over, it would seem. RIP to the first Love Island couple, gone but not forgotten.

Well, well, well; what do we have here? A possible new flame? Give us the content we deserve.

Love Island fans are positive that Yewande Biala and George Rains are secretly dating after spotting flirty messages on each other's social media.

The pair have regularly been commenting regularly on each other's Instagram posts with suggestive replies, and we're gagging for the romance to blossom.

The 23-year-old Irish scientist posted a stunning picture of herself in a white skirt and black leggings, captioning the shot; "Where's your favourite place to go for brunch?"

22-year-old Essex builder George replied: "Whereever you are", even adding side-eye emoji. We all know what that means…

Yewande used the same emoji when she commented on a picture of George two days ago, posing next to a river in Cambridge. We see repetition, we see flirtatious banter, we see LOVE.

The pair never actually met on the show, as Yewande was dumped before the Casa Amor segment happened, which featured George. He later coupled up with Lucie but the pair never clicked.

Iain Stirling, the ITV show's commentator, made sure to make fun of George's silent demeanor and penchant for talking about snacks.

George has even left flame emojis underneath Yewande's photos, which sent fans into an absolute frenzy.

"Go for it," posted one Instagram fan. "Secure it period," added another."So are y'll dating orrrrr-." asked a third. ANSWER us, Yewande. We know you want to.

The Irish beauty had a rough time in the villa, coupling up with Danny Williams who later dumped her for Arabella Chi, who was dumped just two days later. He's now smitten with Jourdan Riane, but is it showmance? Probably. The point is: Yewande Biala deserves love.

Amber Gill has revealed that she was asked to go on Love Island last year, but she turned it down as she had a boyfriend at the time.

The 22-year-old Geordie beautician admitted that she was head-hunted to join the line-up last year, with only six Islanders being picked from the general public applications.

Amber won the  £50,000 prize with Irish charmer Greg O'Shea, and said during a live Instagram Q&A on Monday that she was scouted for the 2018 cast.

"So I didn't apply for the show, no. I was contacted on Instagram, and so yeah that's how I joined. I was actually asked to go on the show last year but I had a boyfriend. But let's not talk about him!

"So this year I thought why not. And it worked out well I suppose." Amber met Greg only 12 days before the final, after her dramatic relationship with Michael Griffiths ended in tears.

The Newcastle beauty said she can't wait to be reunited with Greg, and is jetting to Ireland this weekend to meet his friends and family.

The giddy star told fans: "I'm going to see Greg this weekend. I'm going to fly over to Ireland and spend the weekend with him."

Greg headed straight to Newcastle with Amber to meet all her family and friends after the couple won the huge ITV show.

Fans quizzed her about her feelings for him and she replied: "Greg, Oh my God. He is lusher in real life. He is so fit."

Amber's life has been hectic since winning the show as she did interviews for Loose Women with Greg, This Morning with her mum, and had a double date with Ovie and India.

She said: "It's been absolutely crazy. I haven't had a minute to myself going between Newcastle and London I'm going back and fourth –  but it's great. I absolutely love it."

Looks like we'll be seeing plenty more of Maura on our screens pretty soon, thank Goddess.

Maura Higgins is set to land her own reality show after TV bosses were impressed by her attitude and personality on ITV's Love Island.

The fiesty nature of the 28-year-old former grid girl has meant that she's become a breakout star of the villa, but Curtis Pritchard won't be needed for her new show.

Curtis himself has been named as the receptionist for the next series of The Greatest Dancer on BBC, while Maura is joining ITV's list of big stars.

While the producers aren't offering any couples a spin-off show (we want more GREG) due to fears of the partners splitting up before filming finishes

Maura made a flying start on This Morning as an agony aunt, but plans to challenge the star with a number of activities are in the works.

The Sun reports that there are plans for Maura to tick off a number of items from a 'turning-30 bucket list', which will see her take on everything from bungee-jumping to pottery making.

An inside source told The Sun that Maura is "great on screen so bosses want to create a platform where viewers can still get their fix."

Producers are "focusing on Maura" as "no-one really knows what the future holds" for her relationship with Curtis. Maura has "ratings-winner potential," and ITV are "ironing out details at the moment."

Maura's fanny flutters are getting her far in her career, it seems.

A new report is claiming that Love Island runners up Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury have been 'banned' from attending an Ibiza trip with their fellow cast-mates.

Anton Danyluk, Lucie Donlan, Tom Walker, Joe Garratt, Jordan Hames, and Casa Amor's Lavena Back, among others, went on a post-villa weekend away and didn't invite the pair.

Rumours are ongoing about a rift between Molly Mae Hague and Tommy Fury and the rest of the Love Island 2019 cast, and new reports claim the weekend away was in spite of the fellow Islanders.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Lucie Rose Donlan (@lucierosedonlan) on

The likes of Chris Taylor, Belle Hassan and Joanna Chimonides were living their best lives in Ibiza without winners Greg and Amber as well as Tommy and Molly-Mae.

A source told The Sun that the runners up were "banned" from the trip as claims of their 'fake'relationship continue to follow them.

According to the insider;

"Some of the Love Island stars got a free trip to Ibiza from a clothing brand and so were able to take people with them They decided they wanted to treat their Love Island mates but they all agreed they didn’t want to invite anyone they didn’t like – such as the 'fake people'."

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Tom Walker (@tom9walker) on

The source added;

"A few of them were very vocal about how they think Tommy and Molly are fake – they said all they did was sleep all day in the villa and nothing else. Everyone agreed they Tommy, Molly and Amy were banned from the trip and weren’t to be invited."

Some fans are speculating about the lack of invitation possibly being linked to the underlying feud between Anton Danyluk and Molly-Mae.

Anton admitted to unfollowing Molly-Mae on Instagram, commenting during the Love Island: Reunion show: "We weren't the closest, I wouldn't say we weren't friends. I didn't choose to follow her. I wouldn't have chosen to follow her."

Molly-Mae opened up to OK! Magazine about the online abuse she has received, and was upset to see Anton commenting negatively about her.

"Everyone has seen that I’ve been getting quite a lot of backlash and hate online, so for him to then add fuel to the fire was quite shocking," she commented. "I know Tommy would never do that to Belle if she was in this situation, because he’s not that type of person.

"I think it showed more about him than anyone else. It’s a shame that this has happened. It was unnecessary. I want to be able to support everyone who was on the show. We all did this together."

Winner of Love Island 2019 Amber Gill is heading to Limerick to visit Greg O'Shea this weekend, and we can't WAIT to have the Geordie on Irish shores.

The pair were crowned the winning couple after Greg had only entered the villa 12 days previously in a shock decision, beating favourites Molly Mae Hague and Tommy Fury in the process.

Gill will fly over to Ireland to spend the weekend with rugby player Greg, after he was spotted visiting Amber's family in Newcastle and surprising her with a huge birthday cake.

The stunning beautician has since landed gigs with British Vogue, Loose Women and Dancing On Ice, and answered fan questions via Instagram about her 'lush' beau.

She said: "I'm going to see Greg this weekend. I'm going to fly over to Ireland and spend the weekend with him." When asked: "Is Greg as lush in real life?" Amber confirmed he's "10/10."

She said: "Greg, oh my god, he is lusher in real life he is so fit." *Swoons* He really is a keeper.

The pair were spotted Facetiming after spending their third night apart since Greg's return home.

He told the MailOnline: “I asked her about fifty times to come home with me but she's so busy, everybody in Britain wants a bit of Amber, I'll get her over very soon.”

He made sure to mention that he only has eyes for the 22-year-old beauty.

“I definitely will be faithful, I've always been a one woman kind of guy and Amber is a great girl.

“I’m lucky to come out with her so I can't wait to get her over here to meet my family and friends. To use the Love Island phrase, all my eggs are in Amber's basket right now, I'm only looking at her.”

Love Island's Yewande Biala has opened up about what life is like when you're black and in the media.

The 23-year-old Irish scientist says being black means "you have to be 10 times better than everyone else", she told 1Xtra Talks.

Yewande was one of the 2019 cast originals, but left the show after Danny chose Arabella over her in a brutal dumping.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Yewande (@yewande_biala) on

She says: "When I got into this I realised being black is hard, but being black and in the media is harder.

"You have to stand out and you have to do more and it can get quite frustrating," she adds.

"You feel like you're not doing enough, but just keep pushing to keep doing what you're doing and someone will see how amazing you are."

The reality star also claims that finding love in the villa was harder because of the colour of her skin.

Yewande's best friends were candidates Amber Gill, who is mixed race and Anna Vakili, who's Iranian, and she says "we all struggled".

"We didn't find anyone who liked us. It was always someone coming in and saying 'my type is blonde and petite'. We'd just look at each other and say 'they're obviously not here for us'."

Yewande also spoke about the pressure of social media outside of the villa, and how she copes with it.

She says "the majority of people were super supportive" in public platform comments, but that she did receive some hurtful direct messages.

"When I came back from Mallorca I got such a tan. I was so dark but I loved it.

"And people would come to me like, 'Oh you're too dark, like why are you so dark? Why are you so black, you're too skinny'. It was just stupid."

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Yewande (@yewande_biala) on

Yewande was also quizzed on her feelings about Danny Williams and Arabella Chi.

Model Arabella Chi is now dating Wes Nelson from the 2018 series, while Danny is dating Jourdan Riane after falling for her during the Casa Amor segment only days after Arabella was dumped.

The scientist says numerous articles appeared online about her which portrayed a tired stereotype used against black women following her dumping.

"I tried not to read any articles about myself because I didn't want to get upset. I think they were trying to label me as the angry black woman, which was kind of insane.

"Not once in the villa did I ever raise my voice or feel like I acted in that way, even considering the circumstances I was in."

"But it didn't just make me stronger, it made me realise how important my family were, how important I was, how much I needed my friends and how easy it is to get trapped like that if you don't watch out and put up little rules."

Back in 2018, Dyer won the ITV hit show with then-boyfriend Jack Fincham, after 80 percent of voters chose the couple to win the £50,000 cash prize on Love Island.

The pair lasted six months outside of the villa before splitting up, after being shot to instant stardom.

"It can be very tough but everyone is so different in the way they handle things. I spoke to a psychologist from the show before I went on and afterwards," she said.

"I had several calls from the producers checking if I was okay. And a few weeks after the show when I felt overwhelmed and said I needed to speak to someone they put me in touch with a psychiatrist.

"Initially when you come out everyone is lovely and then you start seeing a few negative stories and it can be hard to handle."

Dani believes that she has a role model status because she doesn't have the same party girl lifestyle as other reality stars.

"I had loads of people on Instagram asking me about boys and relationships. I realised people were thinking of me as a role model, something I never expected, and you have to take that seriously," she said.

"I think of myself as a pretty moral person. I don't go out drinking, I've never been interested in drugs or parties. I don't like nightclubs because I like being able to talk to my friends."

Dani is now dating 23-year-old stockbroker Sammy Kimmence, who she briefly dated as a teenager. The pair have moved in together.

"Within five years I want to be married with a baby," she said.

"I've told him I want to get married. I've told him I want him to propose to me on a boat. I've even told him what kind of ring I want. I don't hold back, I put it all out there. He's totally up for it," she laughed.

The fifth series of Love Island may have ended, but life is only just beginning for the contestants on the outside.

The Islanders have returned to reality and are gathering that coin with sponsorships, TV shows and public appearances in clubs. 

This years' group are charging quite the high amount to grace an event with their presence, and we're a bit shook. 

According to The Sun, Curtis Pritchard and Tommy Fury . are the top earners, charging 10,000 pounds each to attend an event. 

The publication contacted the agents of 2019's contestants to enquire about an appearance at a 21st birthday party, and boxer Tommy was able to charge a whopping £10k for a two-hour appearance.

The runner up of the show has people to see and things to do, and time is money after all. According to The Sun, professional dancer Curtis charges the same, but also requests a driver and a hotel.

Villa villain Michael Griffiths, who didn't even make the final, charges £2,500 per hour to show up.

Sherif Lanre, who was kicked out of the villa after a mere nine days, charges a shocking £5,000 for appearances.

Maybe because of the mystery surrounding him, but that seems like ridiculous money to us. Yewande Biala also charges £5,000, while winners Amber Gill and Greg O'Shea have yet to share an appearance fee.

The pair have the £50,000 cash prize, so they're not exactly begging for money. The cast need to make cash before their celebrity status shrinks, though.

The winner of Love Island 2018 has opened up about his split from Dani Dyer, blaming their break-up on the intensity of moving the relationship along too fast.

"This was like the ideal scenario," he added. "But when we lived together… I think if we had lived in Love Island forever we'd have been fine. But we didn't. We rushed it, we moved straight in together straight away."

Jack admitted that he did initially want to move in with Dani straight away, but said: "I wish we'd have waited. I let her rush it a little bit.

Dating experts set Jack up on a date with Chiara in last night's episode, but it got fairly awkward, to say the least. Jack interrupted Chiara constantly, asking her a barrage of questions.

There was a mix-up when he believed she wanted to leave with the waiter, and then actually tried to set her up with one of them. *Sigh*.

The date didn't end well, with Jack labelling it 'a disaster': "That's the most surreal date I've been on. That was really weird," he said.

"You know, that's the first dating disaster I've had – I'm going to call it a disaster. That's the first date I've been on that I've thought, 'f**k that'."
