Love Island couple in shock SPLIT just days after leaving the villa
LOVE Island All Stars couple Olivia Hawkins and Marcel Somerville have split just days after leaving the villa.
Despite leaving the show arm in arm The Sun can exclusively reveal that the pair have called it quits after ‘things just weren’t working out.’
Now, friends tell The Sun that it’s “no longer romantic” between Marcel and Liv as the pair felt “it was better to end things as friends.”
Speaking to The Sun, a source revealed: “Olivia and Marcel ended things a few days ago.
“Things just weren’t working out, outside the villa, and it was better to end things as friends rather than force anything.
“They really are good mates though – they speak all the time and have a lot of respect for each other, but it’s no longer romantic.”
In a shock double dumping, Olivia and Marcel were eliminated from the show after the public was tasked with voting for their least compatible couple.
Despite showing signs of early promise, the pair’s romantic connection failed to win over viewers – even though the twosome shared a very sweet recoupling speech earlier that week.
After being told they were dumped from the villa, Liv called Marcel “the cutest” and they said they were glad to be leaving together.
It seems the couple’s relationship was already heading downhill when the reality beauty appeared on the Sisters In The City Podcast.
Hosted by former islander Anna Vakili and her sister Mandi, Olivia kept things vague about her connection with Marcel.
On the pod, Olivia was asked if she was ‘closed off’ with Marcel, to which she replied: “No definitely not closed off.
“You know what, it’s like when you come out of the villa there’s so much pressure on you and we’re not together, we’re still getting to know each other.”
“We were only coupled up for a week – it’s very early days.”
“He’s officially still married, he’s still going through a divorce, so obviously the situation in Love Island was … you don’t think about that, but when you come out you have to think about the logistics of things,” she continued.
She was then asked whether she had a passionate ‘fire in her belly’ when it came to Marcel, something she admitted she previously had with fellow Islander Luca Bish.
She responded with a mischievous smile, later adding: “I mean it could grow.”
Host Mandi chimed: “No, it’s not there,” to which they all laughed.

THE HISTORY OF DUNNES STORES
DUNNES Stores opened its first store on Patrick Street in Cork in 1944 - and it was an instant hit.
Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland’s first ‘shopping frenzy’.
During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne’s ‘Better Value’ bargains.
Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 – starting with apples and oranges.
The retailer said: “Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town.
“Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong.
“Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas.”
The retailer’s first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960.
They added: “In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed.
“Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England.”
Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.
Vigil held for shark attack victim Charlize Zmuda, 17, mauled to death at Aus beach as grieving dad makes heartfelt plea
HUNDREDS of mourners have gathered to honour Charlize Zmuda, a 17-year-old surf lifesaver who was killed in a shark attack just a day earlier.
Holding a single candle, her dad Steve stood surrounded by family, friends, and well-wishers on Tuesday afternoon at Woorim Beach, Queensland.
Mourning the loss of his daughter, the grieving dad urged the community not to fear the beach she loved.
“When I got the tragic news yesterday, I was extremely gutted,” Mr Zmuda said.
“But something that my wife and I want to say is we don’t want people to stop coming to the beach and enjoying our beach.
“It’s a big part of our lives, we’ve got our family here, our community, and we love everybody here.”
Charlize was swimming about 100 meters offshore at Woorim Beach late Monday afternoon when she was bitten by a shark.
Paramedics rushed into the water to help her, but the teen suffered catastrophic upper-body injuries and tragically died at the scene.
The high school senior had been at the beach in Bribie Island with friends at the time of the attack.
Witness Chris Potter recalled hearing a piercing scream from the water, initially believing she had been caught in a rip.
“It was shocking,” he told local outlet The Courier Mail.
Community in mourning
Charlize’s loved ones returned to Woorim Beach on Tuesday morning to watch the sunrise and lay flowers by the water.
They gathered again later in the day, hugging each other, lighting candles, and paying tribute to the teen.
“Please focus on the incredible life she lived and not the awful way she died,” the family’s statement read.
Tributes have poured in from across the community and on social media.
“Rest in peace, beautiful,” one person wrote online.
“Such a beautiful, sweet young lady from a beautiful family,” said another.
A life dedicated to the ocean
Charlize was well known in the Bribie Island community.
A surf lifesaver since the age of eight, she was co-captain of the Bribie Island Surf Life Saving Club and had recently competed with the IRB team at the Lifesaving World Championships.
“Charlize was a member of our club since she was eight years old,” her father said.
“She was a dedicated lifesaver who wanted only the best for our club and for all of our community.”
Her mum, Renee Zmuda, described Charlize as a free spirit who “touched the lives of everyone she met.”
“She loved the beach and it truly was her happiest place on earth,” the family’s statement read.
Beyond lifesaving, Charlize was also a talented musician.
“She was the lead at St Columban’s School as a singer … she was so musically gifted,” Mr Zmuda said.
“She could hear a piece of music and then … play it in a heartbeat. To have that talent taken away right now, that kills me.
Charlize had just attended her school formal and completed her first day of Year 12.
A week before her death, she shared photos of herself at Bribie Beach, strumming a guitar by a campfire and riding waves with friends, News.com.au reported.
Charlize’s fatal attack follows the death of 28-year-old surfer Lance Appleby, who was killed by a shark off South Australia’s coast last month.
And in December, 40-year-old pastor Luke Walford was killed while spearfishing in the Southern Great Barrier Reef near Humpy Island.
Amorim may have stumbled onto same path that fired Liverpool and Arsenal back to the top after Man Utd’s transfer misery
THE pressure is on Ruben Amorim after the winter window closed without any significant Manchester United incoming business.
It is hard to believe Amorim really only wanted to bring in a 20-year-old left-back and a kid from Arsenal’s youth team – even if he was evidently desperate to get shot of Marcus Rashford and Antony.
Financial issues, it seems, lay at the heart of United’s lack of serious work in the market despite a miserable season so far.
Many United fans were calling on Amorim and Ineos to do more in the winter window.
But perhaps out of financial necessity, rather than choice, he may have stumbled onto the same path that propelled Liverpool and Arsenal back to where they are now.
To do it properly, change takes time. It is about doing it right, rather than for the sake of acting, only to have to start all over a few months later.
The Old Trafford faithful, looking up from 13th, may not want to laud what happened at Anfield and The Emirates when those two clubs made their most important managerial changes of the past decade.
Yet the initial actions of both Jurgen Klopp and Mikel Arteta, where neither opted for a grand cull and revamp in terms of personnel at the first opportunity either, maybe the example Amorim can benefit from following.
What mattered, at Liverpool and Arsenal, was a cultural reset. A reboot of attitude and mentality. Led from the top, filtering all the way through the club.
Exactly what is required at Old Trafford now.
CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS
Klopp, in particular, inherited a mess when he replaced Brendan Rodgers at Anfield in October 2015.
His first side, in a goalless draw at Spurs, included Martin Skrtel, Mamadou Sakha and Alberto Moreno at the back, Emre Can and Lucas Leiva in midfield and a bench that included Jordan Ibe, Jerome Sinclair and Kolo Toure.
Klopp’s first decision, his key one, was to alter the mindset and approach of the players at his disposal, rather than a wholesale switch of personnel.
Indeed, the only player signed by Liverpool in January 2016 was Serbian midfielder Marko Grujic, immediately loaned back to Red Star Belgrade and whose Liverpool career added up to just 16 appearances across three seasons.
It was not until the summer window, when 16 players – including no fewer than six in that initial match day squad at White Hart Lane – departed and Joel Matip, Sadio Mane and Georginio Wijnaldum were among the arrivals, that the Klopp player makeover began in earnest.
The real work, though, had already been started off the pitch, at the training ground and in the mentality of the dressing room.
Klopp made a point of learning the names of all 80 staff at the club’s Melwood base, introducing them to the players.
It was a signal of intent. One club. One goal. Together – from the humblest groundsman to the star striker. A bond was created.
Likewise at Arsenal, Arteta, appointed just before Christmas 2019, dabbled only in the loan market in his first window.
Three in, with Emile Smith Rowe and defender Mavropanos departing temporarily.
The main squad changes came afterwards. January arrivals Pablo Mari and Cedric Soares had their loans made permanent, with Brazilian defender Gabriel, Thomas Partey and Willian added.
Critically, also, the clear-out was ramped up over the second and third windows, with Henrikh Mkhitarian, Mesut Ozil and defenders Sokratis and Mustafi all out by January 2021, swiftly followed by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Indeed, by August 2022, less than three years after he arrived, only five of the players on his first team-sheet – Bukayo Saka, Smith Rowe, Granit Xhaka, Gabriel Martinelli and Reiss Nelson – were still in the building.
Like Klopp, too, Arteta was determined to force through, no matter how uncomfortable it was, an attitudinal change.
Marking his fifth anniversary at the helm in December, the Spaniard recalled: “The first thing was that I got everyone together, the staff and the players, and I told them what I thought about them and why this wasn’t working.
“If we were going to continue like this, it was never going to work.”
He added: “We had to get back all together with the same agenda and with the same intentions.
“The foundations have to be really strong in order to create something.
“We had to create the right culture for our club, an environment where, first of all, everybody has to respect each other, that we work together and express the passion at how lucky we are to be where we are.”
Of course, what helped both – unlike Amorim – was evidence on the pitch.
Klopp lost just one of his first 11 games at the helm, Arteta had one defeat in his initial 14 games. It built a bulwark for when things became tougher.
Amorim, by contrast, lost six out his first 11 after replacing Erik ten Hag.
And successes have been in short supply since then, too, adding up to eight victories in 19 matches, only four wins out of 13, plus seven losses, in the Prem.
Inconsistent team selection reached another level when he opted to play Kobbie Mainoo as an effective false nine in Sunday’s shocker against Palace, leaving both Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund on the bench for 70 minutes.
That only six of the team that started Amorim’s first match at Ipswich were in the initial side on Sunday added to that sense of uncertainty.
The one major signing, Danish left-back Patrick Dorgu, is now pitched into a club that seems unsure of its next steps.
Amorim will want to believe that sending Rashford and Antony out of the door, seemingly for good, is a statement to the entire squad.
It will have to be. Now, though, it is down to the manager. There is no room for excuses.
