Love Island fans have been left fuming after the latest bombshells were revealed – insisting bosses have failed to provide a potential romance for one of the girls.
Tonight will see the arrival of bombshell BilikisITVShe’ll be joined by hunky RyanITVBut fans are fuming that bosses haven’t sent a bombshell in for AlimaEroteme
But fans have raged that the new lad isn’t a possible match for OG girl Alima Gagigo, demanding 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.”
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.
Shakira is coupled up with Harry Cooksley, but that didn’t stop Helena from telling him “I want to f*** you” during the racy game.
Tonight, Alima tells Shakira: “Helena whispered on his ear, ‘I can’t wait to f*** you’ and I think that’s the reason why his heart went like that.
“He knew that she whispered that and I think he should have told you last night…”
Yasmin Pettet then adds: “He replied something back to her.”
Confirming this, Toni Laites reveals Harry said, “Do you still wanna f*** me?”
A raging Shakira is then heard saying to her friends: “Now I know why everyone’s f**king whispering and laughing and expecting me to kick off at him. Helena can f**k off!”

DOMINIC SOLANKE enjoyed “the best holiday ever” during his stunning honeymoon with wife Erica.
The Tottenham striker and his beau spent their first away trip as a married couple across breathtaking locations in East Africa.
Solanke tied the knot with Erica Raimondi in Italy in Juneolanke and Erica spent time at Kenya’s famous Maasai Mara Game ReserveThe couple enjoyed a spot of dinner in the desertSolanke shared 40 loved-up pictures from the couple’s time in East Africa
Their blissful honeymoon comes hot on the heels of a memorable period for the England international, who recently helped Spurs win the Europa League in May.
Weeks later Solanke tied the knot with Erica in a lavish ceremony in Lake Como, Italy in front of family and friends on June 17.
And now, Solanke has shared untold dazzling snaps from their post-nuptial vacation in paradise on Instagram.
The loved-up couple travelled to Kenya’s famous Maasai Mara Game Reserve.
A night in a honeymoon suite can range from $1,000 to $2,000 (about £727 – £1,455)
The 27-year-old shared 20 PICTURES in one post, showing videos of the beautiful Safari desert at sunset, as well as close-up visuals of lions and elephants.
In one heart-warming clip, the Spurs frontman signed a football for two excited local fans.
The smitten couple then enjoyed a jumping dance show, called the ‘Adumu’, from the Maasai people.

And online fans were seriously impressed, with one writing: ” Nice to see a footballer go somewhere other than Dubai or LA!”
The incredible pictures even left one Arsenal rival jealous, with Declan Rice liking both posts.
It’s unclear how they met and got together, but Solanke popped the question while on holiday inthe Maldivesin November 2022.
They announced that they were expecting their first child together in May 2023, and shortly after hosted a gender reveal party for family and friends.
Erica, who measures up at a tiny 5ft1, shares regular snippets into lavish “baecations” and date nights with 6ft3 Solanke.
After writing that he’d had the “best holiday experience to date”, Solanke and his wife jetted more than 1000 miles to the Seychelles Island for a low-key beach holiday.
The former Liverpool star then shared another 20 pictures in a second post, captioned: “Pt.2”.
The happy pair were spotted winding down a couple of glasses of wine at a sunset dinner on the beach, and by the pool.
Other snaps showed a white sandy beach with crystal clear water, while they also spent time in the gym together.

While his Liverpool rival and England pal Curtis Jones simply put: “Very nice.”
Meanwhile, Tottenham target Justin Kluivert replied: “Life ”.
Solanke, who joined Spurs from Bournemouth in August 2024, was also spotted at various locations in Nairobi earlier this week.
He is enjoying a well-earned break across the continent before returning to North London for pre‑season training under new boss Thomas Frank.
Spurs, who finished 17th last season, host newly-promoted Burnley in their first game of the season on August 16.

A PARTIAL verdict has been reached in the federal racketeering and sex trafficking trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Judge Arun Subramanian received a letter from the jury at around 4:40 pm informing the court that the jury has reached a verdict on some of the charges.

ReutersCassandra ‘Cassie’ Ventura sobbed on the stand during her testimony, which went on for four-days[/caption]
In closing arguments, prosecutors described Combs as the “leader of a criminal enterprise” who used his expansive “wealth, power, violence, and fear to get what he wanted.”
“He thought that his fame, wealth and power put him above the law,” Assistant US Attorney Christy Slavik said.
“It was his kingdom. Everyone was there to serve him.”
Slavik described to jurors how Combs forced his former lovers Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura and “Jane” into participating in the punishing sex marathons and with the help of an inner circle of “loyal lieutenants” covered up the alleged crimes.
Ventura and Jane were sometimes required to perform the lewd acts, which were also called “hotel nights and wild king nights,” while they were hurting from urinary tract infections (UTIs), according to prosecutors.
Ventura testified that the choreographed encounters, which she said were directed by Combs, could last days, with the longest she ever participated in being four days.
“They go into the man’s bedroom. They go into the man’s most private life. Where is the crime scene? The crime scene is your private sex life. That’s the crime scene,” Marc Agnifilo, Combs’ lead defense attorney, said during closing arguments.
Agnifilo summarized the seven-week trial as a “tale of two trials,” arguing one side is the one told by the evidence of the case, by witnesses, videos, and text messages, and the other was a “badly, badly, exaggerated” story told by prosecutors.
The defense attorney argued the sexual encounters involving Combs, Ventura, “Jane,” and male escorts were consensual, and called the “freak-offs,” which were sometimes video recorded, “homemade porn.”
“You want to call it swingers, you want to call it threesomes, whatever you want to call it, that is what it is – that’s what the evidence shows,” Agnifilo told the jury.
“He did what he did. But he’s going to fight to the death to defend himself from what he didn’t do,” Agnifilo told the jury.

LOVE Island fans have been left fuming at ‘gaslighter’ Harry and called for him to be axed from the villa.
Viewers weren’t impressed by Harry’s conversation with his villa partner Shakira.

ITVFurious fans claimed he “gaslit” Shakira[/caption]
During the steamy Heart Rate challenge, it turned out fellow Islander Helena’s routine got Harry’s heart racing more than any other girl.
In the saucy challenge Helena made her desire for him clear when she whispered in Harry’s ear: “I want to f*** you.”
He immediately told Tommy to pass it on to the boys afterwards, and Dejon was left open-mouthed.
During his go, Harry whispered “do you still want to f*** me?” in Helena’s ear.
However, when discussing the results with Shakira afterwards, Harry neglected to tell her what had happened.
Fans were left unimpressed, as one wrote: “Shakira deserves so much better than Harry, casa amor please save her asap.”
Another added: “they all gaslight shakira??? how is helena saying it’s not deep knowing what her and harry whispered to each other??????”
A third wrote: “Harry mugging off shakira.”
While a fourth remarked: “shakira now we can dump harry you’ve given him enough chances.”
Harry and Helena struck up a connection early on, however, the playboy couldn’t help but keep his options open and things fizzled out as quickly as they started.
Having switched his attention to Shakira, after a snog-filled terrace trip with Yasmin, Helena was reluctant to be friends with him.
She shared a steamy smooch with Irish rugby player Conor during a challenge called Snog, Marry, Pie.
Islanders had to kiss who they fancied the most, propose and marry the Islander they most thought of as marriage material, and pie the Islander who they didn’t fancy or had any previous issues with.
Since the pair shared a steamy smooch and Conor declared Shakira as the “fittest girl in the villa”, fans have predicted their blossoming romance.

XStephen Ireland, who co-founded Pride in Surrey in 2018, raped a 12-year-old boy he met on dating app Grindr[/caption]
Surrey PoliceIreland was sentenced to 24 years in prison[/caption]
I was in Guildford Crown Court on Monday to watch Judge Patricia Lees hand Ireland, 42, his sentence, which included a further six years on extended licence.
His 27-year-old boyfriend and flatmate, David Sutton, was jailed for four and half years for his part in the sickening ordeal.
The boy — referred to in court as Child A — who had been reported missing at the time, had been lured to Ireland’s home in Surrey after meeting him on the popular gay dating app Grindr.
In a carefully calculated move, Ireland provided the boy with a set of instructions and a key code to his flat, to avoid being seen together in public.
The boy, tired and hungry, was given a bong to smoke, which was later found to be laced with methamphetamine, while pornography played on a laptop.
Then he was raped by Ireland and the assault filmed, for the sadistic enjoyment of their cohorts.
The four-week trial followed an extensive investigation by Surrey Police’s Complex Abuse Unit.
‘Keep it a secret’
It began following the reported rape, which led to Ireland’s arrest in April 2024.
Ireland and Sutton were both arrested on June 11, 2024, for distribution and possession of indecent images of children, and on August 14, 2024, charges were authorised for 44 offences (later increased to 45) relating to both, covering the period between August 2022 and July 2024.
Ireland’s full list of crimes is horrifying.
He was also convicted of three counts of causing a child under 13 to engage in sexual activity, sexual assault, conspiracy to engage in sexual activity with a child, facilitating a child sexual offence, six counts of making child abuse imagery, distributing pornographic images of children, and possession of one of the most serious child abuse images, involving a toddler.
Sutton, who was a Surrey Pride volunteer, was sentenced for offences including voyeurism and possession and distribution of prohibited images of children.
He was also sentenced for perverting the course of justice for disposing of a phone owned by Surrey Pride (supposedly used for Pride business only).
On a separate device, police found a message from Ireland to Sutton, telling him to wipe all the images and messages off the Pride handset.
That device has never been found.
Child A had originally told Ireland he was 17, but when he later claimed in a message that he was 13, Ireland replied: “OK — we just have to keep it a secret.”
Sickeningly, he later told the boy he found his young age “naughty and kinky”.
Other messages between Ireland and Sutton described the child as a “14-year-old baby . . . who wants to play with men’s bodies”.

Surrey PoliceJudge Patricia Lees said Ireland and Sutton, pictured, ‘fed off one another’ and had supported one another in their ‘perversions’[/caption]
Judge Patricia Lees said Ireland and Sutton “fed off one another” and had supported one another in their “perversions”.
She said: “Stephen Ireland is a man who prided himself on being versed in and highly alive to the vulnerabilities of young people linked to the Surrey Pride organisation he was at the time pivotal to.
“‘A’ was quite obviously to any adult an extremely vulnerable child who was highly sexualised.
“Any responsible adult would have quickly appreciated that there was a high likelihood ‘A’ is a young man who had been the subject of sexual grooming by adult men at a very early age and been concerned for him instead of taking advantage.”
It is clear that Ireland, who co-founded Surrey Pride in 2018, used his position to gain access to young people and children.
He was once so revered by the community, he was chauffeured around by Surrey Police in its “Pride Car”.
But some volunteers had complained after feeling uneasy about the young age of his then boyfriend.

FacebookSo militant were Ireland’s views on trans rights he targeted gender critical feminists, including the author JK Rowling[/caption]
One of those, Eve — not her real name — told me: “There were some volunteers that raised concerns and there was a full safeguarding investigation, which was also escalated up to Surrey County Council.
“They had a huge issue about the fact that Ireland had a younger boyfriend, but he was above the age of 18, so that was that.”
Ireland was also involved in the Pride Hub, which encouraged young people to join in-person social events.
There is video footage of him sitting with an older “trans woman” telling kids they could “have sweets and popcorn” if they came along to a film screening.
He also gave talks to schools.
Throughout his time at the helm of Surrey Pride, Ireland waged a harassment campaign against Policing and Crime Commissioner Lisa Townsend, which included lobbying for her removal from office, and regularly referring to her as “anti-trans” and “exclusionary” in public.
So militant were his views on trans rights, he targeted gender critical feminists, including author JK Rowling, who had spoken out against transitioning children, and for the protection of women-only spaces.
Rowling posted on X about his sentence on MondayXAlamyCampaigner Maria Esposito believes Surrey Pride should now be shut down for ‘safeguarding failures’[/caption]
In June 2020, Ireland tweeted: “How to ruin a legacy . . . Become a TERF! Very disappointing JK!”
Rowling posted on X about his 30-year sentence on Monday.
Maria Esposito, an LGB campaigner since the 1980s and an attendee of the inaugural Surrey Pride, expressed unease about how quickly Ireland appeared to embed both himself and Pride within mainstream institutions.
She said: “Watching them gain access to Surrey County Council, Surrey Police and local radio stations was deeply concerning.”
Esposito believes Surrey Pride should now be shut down.
