ONE of the stars of Love Island has been accused of ‘faking’ tears as fan spotted a clue that his crying was not real.
Two stars were dumped from the villa as the results from the public vote were revealed.
In a shock result, Megan and Remell were dumped from Love Island after they were left vulnerable from ITV2 viewers.
Just before the duo left, Megan and Conor shared an emotional goodbye after last week’s drama.
Emily was left absolutely furious after she chose to stick with Conor after the sleepover twist.
However, Conor chose to get to know Megan instead and it looked as though the future was bright after their hideaway romp.
After the result of the vote was announced, Conor broke down in tears as he was left devastated by the viewers decision.
Practically sobbing upstairs, he admitted: “Genuinly I was like so happy for the last couple of days since getting to know you.
“I don’t even know what to do, to be honest like it’s really rare that I would get the girl who I actually really, really wanted.”
He then asked if she would then “wait” for him after Love Island, which she confirmed that she would.
However, many viewers accused the star of ‘crocodile tears,’ as they accused him of not actually being truly interested in a relationship with the dumped TV personality.
Writing on X – formerly known as Twitter – many noted that he did not offer to pack his bags and leave the villa alongside his supposed crush.
One viewer stated: “Not Conor with the crocodile tears? Sad but not sad enough to leave with her.”
A second wrote: “Conor with fake tears. If you liked her that much you’d have left, innit.”
“We all know you’re not leaving Conor [Skull emoji] wipe the tears babes,” sarcastically posted a third viewer.
While someone else claimed: “Conor said Money over B***** omg. He doesn’t give a f*** AT All. Them tears are fooling no one baby boy.”
While a fifth fumed: “Conor’s crying and saying he sees Megan as girlfriend material… so why didn’t he leave with Megan? Be serious.”
As an additional viewer noted: “Conor is crying and saying wait for me but not leaving ? ok then.”
And a seventh user added: “Conor you’re here crying when you can pack your suitcase.”
ARSENAL have been told by Sporting Lisbon they will NOT budge on their Viktor Gyokeres valuation in another transfer window hammerblow.
And the Portuguese giants’ president Frederico Varandas has warned the Gunners: pay up or miss out.
Boss Mikel Arteta has earmarked the striker as a top target to bolster his attack in this window, alongside Red Bull Leipzig frontman Benjamin Sesko – but both deals are currently in limbo.
Gyokeres, 27, has been left furious with Sporting over an alleged breach of a gentleman’s agreement that would let him leave for around £60m – lower than his release clause of around £80m – and is now refusing to play for the Portuguese side again.
Arteta was hoping to land the Swede for a bargain price, but Varandas has doubled down on only selling the star for a fair market value, citing Arsenal’s move for Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi and Manchester United’s pursuit of new-boy Matheus Cunha and Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo.
Varandas has even threatened to keep Gyokeres in Portugal if Arsenal continue to low ball, hoping to receive close to £70m to seal the switch.
He said: “Sporting is very calm regarding Viktor Gyokeres. We do not need to sell him, but we remain sensitive to the dreams of Viktor and any of our athletes.
“After weeks of meetings, we are not asking for the release clause and will be reasonable regarding the price we ask for Viktor. Today, I believe there is a strong probability he will leave.
“We have been watching the market and I saw [Martin] Zubimendi, who is six months younger than Viktor, leave for £51million.
“I saw Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, both forwards but who, in my opinion, do not have Viktor’s market value or quality, being negotiated for around £64m.

ARSENAL’S never-ending hunt for a world-class striker is in turmoil as deals for Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres stall.
The Gunners were confident of doing their business quickly this summer after months of preparation by boss Mikel Arteta and new sporting director Andrea Berta.
But inflated asking prices and broken gentlemen’s agreements have derailed those plans and left Arsenal frustrated.
Sesko believed he would be allowed to leave RB Leipzig for around £60million, while SunSport understands Gyokeres was told £59m would be enough to seal his own exit.
But those price-tags have gone up, leaving Arsenal debating whether they represent value for money.
While the players’ camps are also growing restless, knowing the Gunners can only sign one of them.
So what next? Will Arsenal keep waiting in the hope of fees eventually going down? Or turn to other targets, like Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitike?
Whatever they decide, with pre-season looming and the fixtures already out, Arteta will be desperate for them to move quickly to avoid another nearly season.
“Given the demands we consider fair, I believe Viktor could leave – unless he has the worst agent in the world, which is hard for me to believe, because he is one of the best footballers in the world.
“The player knows, the agent knows, and I can guarantee, with absolute certainty, that Viktor will not leave for £60m.”
United – who are also monitoring Gyokeres’ situation – have already signed Cunha from Wolves for £62.5m this summer and have also seen multiple bids rejected for Mbeumo.
Arsenal are set to announce the arrival of midfielder Zubimendi, and are in talks to sign Valencia centre back Christian Mosquera for around £20m.
Varandas said: “If Viktor stays, we will be very, very happy – and it will be a problem for our rivals.
“We are completely prepared to move for our target if Viktor leaves.”
Gyokeres is currently on holiday after international duty with Sweden and is due to report back for pre-season in Lisbon on July 7 unless a deal is struck before then.
Arsenal are in a similar mess with 22-year-old Sesko, who is angry over Leipzig’s hard-ball stance, demanding £70m despite a lower initial gentleman’s agreement in January.

A BUDDHIST monk gunned down a cleric at a temple after he became enraged by his fellow brother playing loud music with the bathroom door open.
Pious monk Phra Niwat, 36, was found brutally murdered with four gunshots wounds to the neck, right arm and chest at the monastery in Thailand.
His agitated killer, 47-year-old Phra Jaruek, fled to his room moments after the horrific shooting in Wat Khao Rang in tambon Talad Yai, Phuket.
Local police inspector Jaruwit Juabkwarmsuk said four spent .38 calibre cartridges and a bullet casing were found at the scene.
After fleeing to his room just before 6am on Sunday morning, police surrounded the area and called on him to surrender.
The guilty monk eventually came out of hiding in his room and gave himself up.
Cops made another shocking discovery after finding a loaded .38 revolver and 14 rounds of ammunition in his bedroom.
Killer Jaruek told police he had allegedly been the target of a prolonged bullying campaign orchestrated against him by Niwat.
He said the victim had provoked him on the morning of the fatal shooting.
Jaruek said: “Phra Niwat went into the bathroom without locking the door and played something loudly on his phone.”
The holy man said of his fellow brother‘s behaviour: “It irritated me.”
He explained that the annoying noise provoked him to take the “gun from my room”.
Jaruek said: “I shot him, and reloaded another six rounds.”
The crazed monk was detained immediately by local police.
He was escorted to the ecclesiastical district governor of Muang Phuket.
There, the governor formally expelled the rebellious cleric from the prestigious monkhood.
Jareuk is now facing legal prosecution.
The temple has yet to comment publicly on the incident.
Wat Khao Rang temple is located on the island holiday hotspot of Phuket.
It is known for its association with the late monk Luang Pu Supha, who founded and revitalised numerous temples.
The temple also features a large golden sitting Buddha statue and is decorated with carvings depicting Thai myths.
Located near the Khao Rang Viewpoint, it has become a popular spot for both locals and tourists.
IF the next Club World Cup is held during winter it would play havoc with the Premier League schedule.
Qatar have expressed an interest in hosting Fifa’s expanded tournament after its inaugural showing in the United States this summer.
But due to extreme temperatures during Qatari summers, the nation would have to host the Club World Cup in December, like they did with the 2022 World Cup.
Qatari representatives held talks with Fifa’s highest ranking officials in the US about a possible swap last week, according to The Guardian.
The Middle East nation has shown a desire to stage the next edition in four years’ time in December 2029.
But this would be fiercely opposed by European leagues, including the Premier League, because of the disruption it would cause to domestic seasons.

Qatar’s summer bid for the 2022 World Cup was moved to winter due to the extreme climate, forcing every domestic league to pause for more than a month.
But those in the Middle East have put forward a strong sales pitch to Fifa, claiming they could host a carbon-neutral Club World Cup.
The current tournament has involved teams flying all over the US with venues in 11 different cities.
The nine stadiums Qatar built to host the World Cup remain in place, and could be used meaning they could minimise staging costs and travel for fans.

Players have complained about the weather conditions at the Club World Cup, with Chelsea’s last-16 win over Benfica suspended for TWO HOURS due to “the risk of lightning in the vicinity of Bank of America Stadium”.
It was the sixth game of the tournament that has been suspended due to seasonal summer thunderstorms, with players launching huge complaints.
Stars from several clubs have complained about the conditions and the global players’ union FifPro is due to address their welfare concerns in a press conference on Monday.
Experts also warned players to prepare for frequent weather-related delays at the 2026 World Cup hosted in the US, Mexico and Canada next year.
And while the date has yet to be confirmed there is widespread expectation that the 2034 World Cup in Saudi Arabia will be shifted to the winter.
SOME of the world’s biggest clubs are in action at this summer’s Club World Cup in the United States!
Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, Man City, and Inter Miami are among the 32 teams taking part in the tournament, which runs from June 14 to July 13.

WITH the summer holidays officially underway, now is the peak time for families to jet off abroad.
Even those who aren’t planning on heading to the airport still have a packed summer with gigs, festivals, and days out under the hot sun.
But even though we all love a bit of sunshine and high temperatures, it can really take a toll on your skin.
Long exposure to the sun and heat can make our skin red and dry, and over time, it can lead to wrinkles, age spots and leathery skin.
Which is why protecting our faces usually comes at the top of the priority list.
So, in a bid to help, one beauty expert has revealed exactly how we can look after our skin in the summer.
Professionals at Fresha have shared their top three tips on how you can protect your face from sweat and the sun.
And it works for everything from abroad holidays to festivals and weekends away – or any time where you might not have the time to go through your usual, detailed beauty routine.
While it’s normal for your usual beauty routine to take a back seat during a weekend, it’s crucial not to neglect your skincare routine entirely
Experts at Fresha
The first thing to do is stock up on your cleanser, according to the experts.
They said: “Over the summer, cleanser will easily be a crucial part of your skincare routine.
“The build-up of oils and dirt after spending a day out can easily result in breakouts, which is why it’s so essential that you’re still cleansing your skin at the end of each day.
“As washing your face in running water may be difficult if you’re out at a festival, don’t forget to pack plenty of cleansing wipes with you.
“Ensure that you’re cleansing your face each morning and evening, ideally with a make-up removing wipe.
“Ensure that the cleansing wipes are suitable for sensitive skin and do not contain alcohol to avoid any irritation.
“Ideally, aim to bring a small bottle of micellar water and some cotton wool pads with you to thoroughly remove any excess oils.”
Another thing that the experts recommend is remembering to keep topping up your moisturiser – but not too much.
They added: “After cleansing your skin, you should ideally be applying a light layer of moisturiser.
“Moisturiser is essential when it comes to maintaining your skin’s hydration, particularly during warmer weather.
“However, it’s important to ensure that you’re not over-applying moisturiser to reduce the risk of clogged pores.
“Travel-size moisturisers can be a lifesaver during the summer when it comes to maintaining that sought-after glow on the move.”
Finally, the beauty pros warn that everyone should remember and bring SPF regardless of where they go or what they do.
They said: “It’s essential to bring plenty of SPF products with you.
BEAUTY experts at Fresha have also shared a bonus tip to help look after your face in the summer.
The professionals say you should always remove your make-up before going to sleep.
They said: “While this may seem like an obvious tip, make-up removal can often take a back seat during the summer or festival season.
“Sleeping in make-up can be incredibly bad for your skin, even if it’s just for one or two nights.
“Failing to remove your make-up, particularly after a busy day at a festival, can result in clogged pores, inflamed skin, irritation, and breakouts.
“Sleeping in make-up restricts your skin’s ability to breathe and repair itself, which is why it’s so important that you bring make-up removing wipes or micellar water with you.
“Ideally, you should be cleansing your skin of any make-up each morning and evening to thoroughly reduce the risk of breakouts.”
“After cleansing and moisturising, ensure that you’re applying SPF as the very last step in your skincare routine before heading out for the day.
“It’s also recommended to reapply SPF every two hours to reduce the risk of the sun drying it off the skin.
“If possible, wait at least twenty minutes before going outside after initially applying SPF to thoroughly protect against sun damage.”
And they’ve even revealed the easy way to top it up without ruining your make-up.
They revealed: “Make-up isn’t enough to protect you from the sun, so don’t forget to apply a layer of SPF over any make-up to stay protected from any sun damage.
“Using a beauty blender or a make-up sponge is an easy way to keep the SPF topped up without rubbing away any make-up.
“Sunscreen mists, sprays, and waters can also effectively protect you from the sun while keeping your make-up intact.”
A 12-YEAR-OLD boy has died in a social media challenge, with his heartbroken family warning about the dark side of the web.
Sebastian was at home celebrating his little brother’s First Holy Communion in Castleford, West Yorkshire, before he was found unresponsive.
Emergency services scrambled to the home at 6:06pm on Friday.
The boy was sadly pronounced dead, despite best efforts to save him.
Sebastian’s father Marcin believes his son died while attempting a viral TikTok challenge with a scarf.
A GoFundMe has been set up for his family.
It reads: “A boy full of dreams, passion, and incredible talent. He taught himself to play the guitar and keyboard, and he loved to draw.
“Always smiling, kind, and full of joy — everyone who met him was touched by his gentle spirit.
“He had loving parents who did everything they could to give him a safe and happy childhood. They would have given him the stars.
“Sadly, one brief moment changed everything. A dangerous internet challenge took his life.”
It pleaded: “Talk to your children about what they do online.
“Ask what they watch, who they talk to, what inspires them. Be present. Don’t assume: ‘My child would never do that.’
“The online world can be as dangerous as the real one — sometimes even more so.”
West Yorkshire police said: “Police were called by ambulance colleagues to an address in Manor Grove, Castleford, at 6:06pm yesterday (27/6) following reports of concern for the safety of a child.
“Officers attended the location and the boy was taken to hospital where it was later confirmed that he had died.
“Enquiries are ongoing on behalf of the West Yorkshire Coroner to establish exactly what happened. The incident is not being treated as suspicious.”
