LOVE Island’s Megan has blamed fellow Islanders for her treatment of Tommy, as she admitted to regretting some of her behaviour in the villa.

Last week Megan, along with Remell, was dumped after the public were asked to choose their favourite girl and boy.

Megan had a tense final week in the villa.

Fans were left unhappy after she ditched Tommy, who she had been with from the start, and move on with rugby lad Conor.

The pair shared secret snogs on the Terrace behind smitten Tommy‘s back, infuriating viewers at home.

Fans also turned on ‘nasty’ Megan after she appeared to be gleeful when Conor and Tommy rowed over her, even calling it “brilliant”.

But now the brunette stunner is keen to clear the air on what REALLY went down in the villa between the three of them.

Speaking to On Demand Entertainment on TikTok, Megan was asked if she would do anything differently, and she said: “I’d taken a breath.”

Appearing to blame her fellow Islanders for her actions, she said: “But you know when you hear something and you just see red, and I saw red for about four days, and then obviously, while I was seeing red, Connor swooped in, so it was just a really bad time.

“And of course you only see the hour out of the 24, so I know I’ve left things on good terms with Tommy, we obviously didn’t have a lot of time on our side.

“Well, I like to think of time as if the essence, we could have been mates. But no, like, it was fine. When you see red like that, someone needs to sit you down and say, girl.”

Continuing, Megan said: “I felt like the girls were seeing where I was coming from, so I think that’s why I got more wound up, because I was like, well if they’re all seeing, why isn’t the gentleman?

“But when you’re in there, emotions are high. When you hear he said, she said stuff, it just winds you up even more.”

‘FIX’ CLAIMS

Megan was dumped last Friday, but following her elimination some fans accused bosses of “fixing” the public dumping, in a bid to get rid of her after all the Conor and Tommy drama.

The Irish star found herself in the bottom three girls, along with then revealed as Shakira, Megan and Toni.

And the bottom three boys in the firing line were Ben, Harry and Remell.

Shockingly, Megan and Remell received the least votes from the public and were then immediately dumped from the villa.

But Love Island fans came up with a theory about why Megan was the one to be dumped from the villa out of the girls.

They think because of the public turning on Megan over the last few days, bosses were keen to see the Irish beauty leave the villa.

Taking to social media, one said: “I’m guessing the producers didn’t like Megan.

“I bet they wouldn’t have allowed the other Megan to go, had she been bottom.

“Sometimes they let the public votes decide other times they let the Islanders choose… either way it’s very very manipulated.”

Another echoed this “Basically the producers were happy to let Megan go, otherwise they’d have had the Islanders pick.

“They would’ve 100% saved Megan.

“I think they wanted to get rid of her once they saw her unhinged and abusive behaviour.”

But middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis seemingly revealed the Liverpudlian would be back in action on the undercard of his UFC 319 title defence against Khamzat Chimaev on August 16.

DDP told Ahmed Amwell during a recent trip to Dubai: “It’s gonna be a big card.

“The co-main event is Paddy Pimblett and Justin Gaethje.”

Du Plessis’ comments spread like wildfire and quickly came to the attention of Pimblett, who didn’t mince his words on the matter.

The former Cage Warriors featherweight champion said: “Yous are mad if you think I’m fighting in August.”

MMA fans around the world are hoping Pimblett’s next fight will be against new lightweight champion, Ilia Topuria

The pair, who have beef dating back to 2021, took part in a heated face-off last weekend following Topuria’s brutal first-round KO of Charles Oliveira at UFC 317.

Security had to separate the duo after Topuria SHOVED his long-time nemesis, who revelled in the moment after he left the octagon.

Their impromptu face-off has set the table for a grudge match over four years in the making.

But UFC supremo Dana White has seemingly already shot down the prospect of the two stars clashing next.

He said: “I don’t know who the hell let him in there. That should’ve never happened.

“Let’s start there. I was already back in my room, or that would’ve never happened.”

He added: “(Van) is the No. 1 contender, and I just said the winner of that fight will get a title shot, so obviously the fans wanted it, too.

“My thing with Topuria is his wife and kid are in the octagon.

“That’s not the fight. It’s just, yeah. It shouldn’t happen.

“That’s not really what we do. I don’t really give a sh*t if it’s fun to watch or not. That shouldn’t have happened.

“Plus, he wins a second title in a higher division. It was a bad call by whoever let him in there.”

YOU couldn’t wear a skirt in the 90s without one of these dangling from your hips.

And millennials all hoped it would be the last we’d see of the disk belts, but Gen-Z seems to have other plans.

The teens mum was left horrified[/caption]

The giant belts which would often ping off at the most awkward of times have made a comeback in high street stores.

The likes of New Look, Primark, PLT and Boohoo are all stocking it.

And one mum was horrified when her teen daughter picked up to buy.

Taking to TikTok, Nina, wife of the famous SpudBros founder, shared her daughter’s reaction to the 90s accessory.

She told her mum she wanted to buy it for her summer holiday as Nina looked on mortified.

“You do realise that when I was about 14 that is what we used to wear,” she said.

“We thought we were really cool and then we bullied them ever since.

“Now they’ve made this comeback and you’re saying it’s nice?!”

“They were not lying when they said fashions come back around. I need to find a photo of me in one of these,” Nina captioned the post.

While Nina and her daughter’s opinion on the belt differed, many agreed with Nina in the comments.

The clip soon went viral on her TikTok account @ninadixon28 with over 2.5 million views and 113k likes

Many were horrified to see it make its way back into stores.

One person wrote: “I had one in every colour. I used to wear them with long rara skirts in the early 2000s.”

Another commented: “My mum used to say fashion repeats itself and it’s true.”

“The trauma from the disk belt,” penned a third.

Meanwhile a fourth said: “The late 90s and 00s has entered the chat!!”

“It is totally giving PTSD hahaha,” claimed a fifth

Someone else added: “Oh no they are not back are they.”

AFTER losing three stone on fat jabs, Emmie Barwise loved nothing more than picking out a stylish outfit to showcase her svelte new figure.

However, there was one accessory she wasn’t expecting to add to her wardrobe.

As well as figure-hugging dresses and thigh skimming skirts, Emmie was forced to start wearing panty liners daily.

Aside from her astonishing weight-loss, incontinence has been an unwelcome side effect of taking Mounjaro.

The 34-year-old explains: “It would happen when I laughed, coughed or sneezed.

“I wet myself during one date, I never imagined that could happen with the jab.

“It was so frustrating, I finally felt confident enough to go on dates but I spent the whole time worrying it would happen.

“It was humiliating – I was a hot girl who couldn’t pull.”

Events manager and single mum Emmie, who lives in Manchester with her 12-year-old daughter, says the unfortunate side-effect made her self-conscious  

She admits: “I constantly worried that I smelt of wee.

“It was really off-putting and something I never imagined I would have to deal with.”

Emmie says she began struggling with her weight last year when she started comfort eating during the winter months.

She says: “I loved a good takeaway, a bottle of wine and chocolates.

“It was so cold last year, I found myself indulging way too much.”

By Christmas, the mum realised she’d gained three stone in just two months.

“As well as my main job, I also do catalogue modelling,” she says.

“I knew I needed to lose weight as I noticed I was losing work since gaining weight.”

A mortified Emmie hit the gym but found it hard to shift the pounds.

“I had friends who were using weight loss jabs, I’d heard good things and decided to give them a go,” she says.

In January, Emmie bought Mounjarno on a private prescription, paying £150 a month for the jabs.

“As soon as I started taking the jabs my food noise disappeared for the first time in my life,” she says.

But while Emmie quickly noticed her weight falling off, she soon became aware of her unfortunate side effect too.

She says: “In the first four weeks, I lost seven pounds and felt amazing.

“But around the same time, I had been chatting to a man at a bar when I realised I had wet myself.

“It was just a few drops, but I fled to the loo with my jacket around my waist.”

I even considered adult nappies for an extreme emergency

Emmie Barwise

Emmie’s rapid weight loss in the first four weeks meant a rapid loss of tone around her pelvic floor muscles.

A study by HealthCentral.com revealed Ozempic or semaglutide can be linked to stress urinary incontinence.

This means the pelvic floor muscles can’t hold up under pressure when you cough, sneeze or laugh because the drug’s rapid weight and muscle loss, especially in pelvic muscles, lowers pelvic support and increases leakage risk.

Emmie says: “The first time it happened, I convinced myself I had drunk too much.

“When it happened at work, I bought period panty liner pads to help control my pee problem.

“I even considered adult nappies for an extreme emergency. 

“I had no idea that this was a possible side effect of the jab, it’s definitely not one that people talk about.”

In a bid to ease her embarrassing symptoms, Emmie immediately began doing her pelvic floor exercises three times a day. 

She says: “I use Kegel balls, which come in different weights with strings attached. 

“You pop inside your vagina and practice holding them for different periods of time.

“It took four weeks of training, but my symptoms have finally eased up.”

While urinary incontinence might have been a negative side effect, Emmie has found an added bonus aside from her weight loss.

The oddball side effects created havoc in my life, but I got through it and I am back to feeling like my best self

Emmie Barwise

“The jab has increased by sex drive and my orgasms are stronger than ever,” she says.

“I consider that an added bonus.”

According to research, the GLP-1 drugs can also alter autonomic nervous system responses and increase blood circulation, especially to your pubic area, which could explain Emmie’s heightened sensitivity and increased sex drive. 

After six months of using Mounjarno, Emmie has now lost 3st 1lb and has no regrets.

She says: “I don’t regret using the drug to fast-track my weight loss.

“It’s not cheating, it’s using what works for you.

“The oddball side effects created havoc in my life, but I got through it and I am back to feeling like my best self.”

I TRIED to survive off nearly-scrapped meals for a week through a food wastage scheme offering wonky veg and restaurant leftovers at bargain prices.

The app definitely saved me money – but there was a big downside.

Here’s how it works…

You open the Too Good To Go app and set the location radius from between 1km and 30km to scout out the options in your area.

There are establishments offering meals and groceries, as well as bakeries and shops selling breads and pastries.

Each shop will have a surprise bag (or box) of surplus goods that are about to go off, and will set a pick-up window for collection.

You won’t know what you’ve got until you open your bag – which is all part of the fun, but can be quite annoying as I learned.

Even with the same shop, what you get will change with each order on a daily basis.

What you receive depends on what is left over at the end of the day, although the app does tell you what you can expect as a rough guide.

Days 1 & 2: A box of limp veg

Day one and my first problem arose – trying to find a Too Good To Go option that I could pick up outside of my working hours.

Fortunately, I found a £4 surprise bag from Petit Village, a nearby green grocers roughly a 15 minute walk from my house.

It was the last one left, and had a decent collection time between 12pm and 6pm. 

I dashed off after to work to go collect my bounty.

While some establishments will need to cook or pack your food once you arrive to collect your order, others – like Petit Village – will have your surprise bag ready and waiting.

I showed the man behind the counter my collection code, and confirmed in the app that I was collecting, before being handed a crate full of vegetables.

I got a bag of cherry tomatoes, three larger tomatoes, two avocados, a head of lettuce, a green pepper, four red chillies, seven carrots and a fistful of beets. 

Now, these vegetables were pretty limp, one of the avocados was squishy, some of the carrots were bendy and the lettuce had certainly seen better days.

But that’s the whole point, right?

They were all edible (apart from a funky-looking carrot I composted).

And as another example of technological brilliance (or laziness) I used ChatGPT to conjure meals with those exact ingredients.

You can do the same, with my prompt: “Please give me five recipe ideas using at least four of the following ingredients…” and then list your produce.

You can even throw in a few bits you might already have in your cupboard – like pasta or cous cous, or some stuff lurking in the freezer.

All the options sounded great, and I reworked a roasted vegetable salad suggestion into a Moroccan-style cous cous, and whipped up a spicy tomato salsa and guacamole to have with some chips.

The lettuce went into a salad along with the second avocado and some more cherry tomatoes on Day 2, which paired nicely with a fishcake I had in the freezer.

When it comes to making meals with surplus goods – time is of the essence.

You don’t have long until these veg are deemed inedible.

That’s when I start looking for my next meal…

Days 3 and 4: Monster lasagna

At this point, my box of veg is running low – and it’s all getting too limp for my liking.

The night before, I tapped ‘buy’ on a £3.99 surprise bag from The Laundry, a popular restaurant in London’s Brixton that is a two minute walk from a friend’s flat.

It’s a lovely restaurant that my friend and I have been meaning to try for a while – where a main costs between £18 and £26.

So, £3.99 is a steal – and the generous portion of lasagne with a side of carrots and roasted butternut squash tasted really good.

It even had a decent collection slot of between 10am and 11:40am – which I could dash out to as I wasn’t working that day.

This was my lunch on Day 3, and even on Day 4 – the portion really was of monster proportions.

One surprise box from this place could honestly feed two!

Days 4 and 5: Mid Mediterranean

Now even though I have lunch lined up for Day 4 – I need to be alert to what my options are for the rest of the day.

All the best deals get snapped up quick.

So on a hot day, I opted for a £5.20 surprise bag from Paella Street, a stall at Tabard Street Food Market, just a 10 minute walk from the office.

It was supposed to be a post-lunchtime deal, and gave me the smallest collection window I had encountered yet: between 2pm and 2:15pm.

I received two very sweaty boxes of vegan paella – which wouldn’t have cost much more to have fresh.

And to be honest, the state of them left me Googling how to revive old paella.

However, once successfully revived on the hob at home, just one box of the two made a very nice dinner.

The other I stuck in the freezer for a rainy day.

Too Good To Go

Day 6: Out of options

At this point, I’m running out of options.

I have a choice to make: eat baked goods for dinner (not ideal), or wait until 10pm to collect a meal suitable enough for tea (also not ideal).

This is where I had to draw the line and go to an actual supermarket.

But it taught me an important lesson about the best time to buy surprise goodies on Too Good To Go.

The verdict

I have spent a total of £13.19 in five days, over three payments.

That’s about £4.40 on average – nearly half what I would usually spend on eating per day.

I usually spend around £170 a month on groceries, across an average of 19 transactions – which is nearly £9 on average every time I go to the shops.

So it does work out cheaper – but is it worth it?

Pros:

• Good variety of food
• Pushes you out of your comfort zone
• Great if you can be spontaneous
• Even better if you use to supplement a slightly smaller weekly shop
• Cheap way to try local restaurants
• Reduces food waste

Cons:

• Often inconvenient in terms of collection hours or location
• Not good for people with allergies or dietary requirements
