The boys are told to stand up if they’d like to recouple with Billykiss.

Conor stands up, and says his date went really well with Billykiss and he’d be doing himself a disservice to not explore their connection.

Alima, left uncoupled, then takes Billykiss’ place up at the front.

The girls then have to stand up if they’d like to recouple with new bombshell Ryan, but none of the girls stand up.

Due to both being single, Alma and new bombshell Ryan are dumped from the show. 

Ryan remarks that his time was short but sweet, but it’s Alima’s exit that leaves the girls in tears, as Toni and Yasmin are both seen crying. 

Ryan had only just entered the show as a bombshell, alongside Billykiss. 

A source said: “Execs continue to throw twists and turns into the series and no one saw this one coming.

“The cast were reeling after this shock move and one ousted Islander in particular will be much missed.”

FANS FUME

It comes after fans were left fuming that no bombshell had been brought in for OG girl Alima Gagigo, as they demanded to know why she’s not being considered. 

Commenting on social media after the latest stars were revealed, one wrote: “can they please bring in someone for alima oh my god.”

Another said: “Some good guys need to be brought in for Alima.”

Love Island 2025's current couples after bombshell arrival

  • Tommy and Emily
  • Shakira and Harry
  • Gio and Yasmin
  • Dejon and Meg
  • Ben and Helena

  • Conor and Alima

And a third added: “No bombshell for Alima?”

Alima was in a romance with Remell Mullins, but swiftly ended things after learning of his behaviour during a sleepover with Poppy Harrison. 

The shock dumping also comes after it was revealed that the show has racked up over 1k Ofcom complaints in just days, with viewers raising concerns over alleged bullying and misogyny by contestants.

The 1,138 objections relate to episodes broadcast on 26, 27 and 29 June, and cite the behaviour of islanders Ben Holbrough, Meg Moore and Helena Ford.

On June 19, 123 complaints followed a heated game of Look Who’s Talking.

Then, on June 26, 884 were made after an argument between Yasmin and Ben.

The dispute began when Ben ended their relationship, saying he needed to “take a step back”.

And, on June 27, 131 came in after Helena and Harrison shared a kiss in the hideaway.

According to Ofcom, viewers accuse the show of failing to intervene appropriately.

The broadcasting regulator is currently assessing the complaints before deciding whether to launch a formal investigation.

ITV has been contacted for comment.Fans previously called for Ben to be kicked off the show after his “misogynistic” behaviour was pointed out by the girls.

Shoppers go wild for Primark’s £16 ‘summer vibe’ trousers that are perfect for a round belly and bloat-friendly

SHOPPERS have been left in a frenzy over a pair of Primark trousers that are “summer vibes” and bloat-friendly.

The bargain retail giant’s Striped Seersucker Trousers have been hailed as the ideal buy for fashionistas with “round bellies”.

And the best part? They’re only £16.

So if you’re looking for a comfortable new buy to get you through the summer months without breaking the bank, you’ve come to the right place.

The trousers, which come in sizes XS to XL, are available in blue or green stripes.

They have a drawstring waist for extra comfort and are described as a “relaxed fit”.

In the online description, the Primark team adds: “Add a little texture to your wardrobe with these striped seersucker beauties.

“Cut in a regular fit with a mid-rise waist, they’re designed with a comfy drawstring fastening and easy wide legs for that laid-back feel.

“Pair with the matching waistcoat for an effortless co-ord look or mix it up with a simple tee or tank. A fit that can take you from day to night? Sorted!”

Unsurprisingly, shoppers have been racing to their nearest store to get their hands on the flattering trousers.

In a TikTok post, fashion fan Carys hailed them as a “summer vibe” that’s perfect for a “round belly and bloat-friendly”.

She added: “WELL WELL WELL, Primark brought the belly friendly GOODS this summer and I’m so here for it.

“As someone who struggles to find smarter pieces that work for my belly/body this gave me HOPE again.

“Finding pieces that look smart but don’t leave you feeling uncomfortable and angry at your body is the BEST FEELING!!”

Another social media user chimed in: “I have these and got a M I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and usually a 14/16. I’d definitely size down as they seem to run large and have sooo much stretch.”

A third cried: “Stoppp! I have to go to Primark now!”

“Need some trousers like that for the school run”, wrote a fourth.

Meanwhile, a fifth said: “I picked up the trousers yesterday! Super comfy.”

Elsewhere in store, shoppers have found a winning summer dress that’s floaty and great quality – and there’s a mini-me version too.

Amanda, the self-proclaimed “confidence queen” and size 14 fashionista, who regularly shares high-street fashion content online, has praised the Primark frock that’s super floaty and cool.

She modelled the sleeveless V-neck Trapeze Mini Dress, that’s ideal for holidays. 

Thrilled with the white trapeze frock, which features an elegant tiered shape, the content creator beamed: “This one might just win me over girls, because there’s a mini-me.

“The quality of this feels absolutely fantastic. It’s lovely and floaty and oversized.”

The mini dress is available not only in white, but green too and is priced at £20.

Why Primark is great for looking expensive on a budget

By Clemmie Fieldsend, Fabulous Fashion Editor

AS someone who’s no stranger to grabbing a last-minute outfit from Primark for a night out, it’s about time that celebrities started catching on too.

For as long as I’ve been heading out, Primark has been my go-to for those “I have nothing to wear” moments, rushing in at the last minute to find something perfect.

And I’m definitely not alone – on any Friday or Saturday night, you’ll find plenty of shoppers doing the same thing, right before closing time.

But no matter what, Primark always delivers.

Now, Rita Ora is leading the charge, showing that you can snag a designer-worthy look without spending a fortune at high-end stores.

While Rita’s not rushing in last minute for a red carpet outfit, she’s proving you can achieve the same high-impact style for much less.

Looking stunning in her tailored suit alongside her mum Vera, Rita fit right in among the other A-listers dripping in Prada, Dior, and Victoria Beckham – if anything, she looked even better than some of the guests at The Fashion Awards.

With Myleene Klass and Roxy Horner already jumping on the Primark bandwagon, I’m sure more stars will be following suit soon enough.

Love Island fans slam Helena for ‘cruel’ move amid tensions between Toni and Harrison – screaming ‘get her out’

LOVE Island fans have slammed Helena for her ‘cruel’ move amid tensions between Toni and Harrison, screaming ‘get her out.’ 

The drama unfolded in the garden when Harrison confessed to Toni that he shared a kiss with Helena on the Terrace.

Toni is not best pleased by this revelation and has a few choice words for Harrison before she walks off, leaving Harrison to reflect on his choices.

But as Toni and Harrison chatted, Helena and Meg watched on by the fire pit, with the girls appearing to snigger at times. 

Seeing Helena laughing has enraged fans, as one wrote on X: “Why do these girls always find Toni being upset funny?” 

A second penned: “Helena is thriving off hurting another woman, stop laughing.” 

And a third penned: “Of course Helena is laughing, she absolutely thrives off this.” 

Another person said that Helena was “acting like a teenager.” 

Fans previously raged at Harrison for playing two girls off against each other and lying to Toni.

In recent installments, Harrison and Helena had enjoyed some flirty banter, much to the annoyance of US star Toni.

In Monday’s show, the boys were given the power to pick which girl they wanted to couple up with.

Ben picked Helena, meaning Harrison was left with no other choice but to choose Toni.

After the recoupling, Harrison told Helena that he planned his speech for her but changed it last minute for Toni.

Harrison told her: “I felt that finally we were going to couple up, I was so ready for it, I was so ready to sleep in a bed with you.”

Just moments later, Harrison admitted to Toni that his decision was “50/50”, despite him insisting to Helena that he was set to pick her.

But it seems to be Helena that has angered fans in the love triangle. 

On X, people have demanded she’s booted out of the villa, with one person writing: “With the way Helena is behaving, she needs to go.” 

A second penned: “Helena just get off my screen already,” and a third penned: “Ugh, Helena needs to GO.”

Michael Lowe dead aged 57: Tributes pour in as unbeaten former world champion boxer-turned-rally driver passes away

TRIBUTES have poured in following the tragic news that Michael Lowe has died at the age of 57.

He was unbeaten across 28 professional fights between 1991 and 1997.

And Lowe’s prowess saw him achieve world champion status.

In February 1997, he defeated Santiago Samaniego to become the WBO welterweight world champion.

He then successfully defended his crown in September of that year, defeating Ireland’s Michael Carruth.

However, he called it quits on his career and retired as one of only three undefeated European world champions at the time, after Jack McAuliffe and Terry Marsh.

Injury forced him to abandon boxing altogether.

Saudi boxing chief CONFIRMS Tyson Fury return and hints at Usyk trilogy as he claims: ‘We have a rabbit to hunt’

TYSON FURY is plotting a dramatic comeback in 2026 – after Saudi supremo chief Turki Alalshikh teased a trilogy with Oleksandr Usyk.

Fury abruptly announced his retirement from boxing – for the fourth time – in January just a month after losing his rematch to Usyk in Saudi Arabia.

It was only seven months earlier that he also lost his undefeated record and WBC belt in 12 classic rounds against Usyk in Riyadh.

Disillusioned with the razor-tight pair of decision losses, the unpredictable Gypsy King took to Instagram to hang up his gloves.

And despite training up to THREE times a day, Fury, 36, has so far appeared uninterested in a comeback even to fight Anthony Joshua, 35.

That was until arriving in Turkey for the IBA pro boxing tournament – where he called out Usyk to a trilogy fight.

And shortly after Alalshikh – who delivered the mega-money two-fight series on Saudi soil – appeared to confirm he had convinced Fury into yet another return.

The Saudi boxing chief posted: “The ‘Gypsy King’ will be back!!!

“I talked with him, and I have his word to have him in Riyadh Season in 2026…We have a rabbit to hunt!”

Usyk, 38, returns on July 19 at Wembley in a rematch with Daniel Dubois, 27, following his 2023 stoppage win – this time for the undisputed throne.

And Fury – who infamously referred to Usyk as “the rabbit” in 2022 – is eyeing revenge against the Ukrainian in London.

He said: “Dubois is very young and ambitious. Usyk is very experienced.

“But he’s coming off two fights with me, which is debatable which he won them or not, which he didn’t, but he got the decision which is all that matters.

“If I was going to come back, I would come back for Usyk, but I want a fair result in England. That would be the fight I want next.

“I don’t want any favours, I want a fair fight and a fair result which I know I didn’t get. I thought I won that second fight by five rounds.

“I watched it literally 250 times and each way, I never see there’s a way he won. But, they can do what they want.”

Fury also revealed he got the green light from wife Paris to come out of retirement for the umpteenth time.

‘Devoted’ couple found dead at bottom of stairs in Cork home after tragic fall to be buried together in joint funeral

A “DEVOTED” couple in their eighties who were found dead near the stairs of their Cork terraced home will be laid to rest together this week.

Michael O’Sullivan and his wife Ann were found dead together at their home in Glounthaune at around 5pm on Monday by a relative.

They were formally pronounced dead by a local GP and a technical examination was carried out by Gardai at the scene.

It is understood that the pensioners –  Ann, 80 and Michael, 83 – may have been helping each other down the stairs when they fell  together and were fatally injured.

An online death notice read that Michael, late of the GPO, and his “loving wife” Ann, formerly of Irish Steel, died on June 30 “together at home”.

Michael is survived by his sister Mary and is also “deeply regretted by Sylvia and his nieces Maureen and Yvonne”.

He was predeceased by his sibling Bernie.

Ann is survived by her siblings, Gerry and Jim.

She is also “deeply regretted by Julie, her nieces Aoife, Bríona, Orla and Fíona and her nephews Eolan and Diarmaid”.

She was predeceased by her brother Eolan.

The notice adds that the couple “will be very sadly missed” by the Ryng and O’Sullivan families, their kind neighbours and friends.

The loving couple will lie in repose at Barry Bros Funeral Home, in Hazelwood, Glanmire, tomorrow from 5pm to 6pm.

BURIED TOGETHER

Their funeral mass will then take place on Friday at 1pm in the Sacred Heart Church, Glounthaune.

The service will then be followed by a burial at Joseph’s Cemetery, Little Island.

Glounthaune Community Association has joined the residents of Glounthaune Village in offering their heartfelt condolences to the family of the deceased.

In a post on social media they said that the couple were known for their love for each other.

They said: “They were a deeply religious and devoted couple, who lived a life guided by strong spiritual values.

“They had a deep love for the village and its community, and will be fondly remembered.”

Ex-Royal Navy boss sacked and stripped of admiral’s rank over secret affair with subordinate

THE former head of the Royal Navy has been sacked and stripped of his admiral rank over a secret affair with a subordinate.

Ex-First Sea Lord Sir Ben Key, 59, is the most senior officer in the Navy’s 500-year history to face the dishonour.

The Sun revealed in May he had been suspended and banned from resigning while a probe ran its course.

The married dad of three had vowed to stamp out “intolerable behaviour” in the Navy, regardless of rank.

The MoD said: “Following a full investigation, Admiral Sir Ben Key’s behaviour has been found to have fallen far short of values and standards expected. This has resulted in termination of service and his commission.”

Chief of Defence Staff Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, the head of the Armed Forces, said: “We investigate all allegations of inappropriate behaviour and will take robust action against anyone found to have fallen short.”

Sir Ben could now be stripped of his knighthood and CBE.

Pals say wife Elly is standing by him.

He did not face court martial as the affair was not a criminal offence.

He was accused of breaking Navy rules which ban sexual relationships between commanders and lower ranks.

The Armed Forces are also barred from actions which risk or wreck comrades’ marriages.

His lover has not been identified, but sources claimed she was a senior officer married to a sailor, who lodged a complaint.

Sir Ben, who had a stellar 41-year Navy career, said: “I deeply regret my conduct in spring last year, which fell well below the standard I set for myself and that which I set for the Royal Navy.

“I am very sorry to those I have hurt, and I apologise to everyone who serves with the Royal Navy.

“I am very grateful for the support of my wife, family and friends during a very difficult time.”

Chief's brawl rap

Exclusive by Robin Perrie

A NAVY commander swerved jail after head-butting a Marine Sergeant Major at a nuclear base.

Lt Cdr Gary Fletcher, 34, behaved like a “taproom bruiser” when brawling with Hamish Robb after a boxing event at HMNB Clyde, known as Faslane.

The military court at Catterick, North Yorks, heard the pair thrashed around on the floor as RSM Robb tried to restrain the “agitated” senior officer.

Fletcher had been boozing to cope with a break-up, it was said.

He admitted battery and behaviour likely to discredit His Majesty’s forces.

He was sentenced to two years loss of seniority, his salary docked, and promotion banned.
