Love Island star devastated as he’s turned DOWN by ITV for All Stars

LOVE Island star Deji Adeniyi has revealed he was turned down by bosses to appear in this year’s All Stars series.

Deji appeared in the eighth series of the ITV2 reality show and had been hoping to make a comeback as a bombshell.

In a video to fans, the former accounts manager admitted that he was hoping to “save” current slander Catherine Agbaje.

But Deji has revealed he was snubbed by show bosses.

In a TikTok video, the star filmed himself pretending to march around his apartment while arguing on the phone with someone.

Wearing a muscle vest and tracksuit bottoms, he paces around frantically while wagging his finger at the person on the other end.

The clip finishes with Deji pretending to throw his phone on his bathroom floor before storming off.

Deji captioned the video: “ITV: ‘We’re not sending you in to ‘save Catherine’.”

Fans are gutted to see Deji’s confession, as they think he’d make a great match for Catherine, who so far is yet to close off a romance.

One told him: “Dejiiiiii you would’ve been PERFECT.”

Another asked: “Deji, why are you not on your way rn?”

A third said: “You best take her for a date when she’s out. Holding you accountable!”

And someone else chimed in: “Yeasss save her!”

Deji found fame in the 2022 series of Love Island.

He made his entrance during Casa Amor and originally made a play for Indiya Polack.

When that didn’t work, he turned his attention to Lacey Edwards and they hit it off.

However, the couple were dumped after being branded ‘the least compatible’ and split shortly after leaving the show amid cheating rumours.

It was alleged that Deji had slept with fellow islander Coco Lodge behind Lacey’s back.

A source exclusively told The Sun that Deji and Lacey never went on a date on the outside, with his night with Coco being the “last straw” for Lacey.

The source said: “Everyone could tell it was awkward between them at the Reunion after Lacey delivered some home truths. Now they’ve called it quits and are no longer seeing each other.”

Catherine, meanwhile, has only just found a potential love interest in the All Stars villa despite arriving in the villa at the beginning of January.

The public originally paired her up with Nas Majeed but they soon called it quits, with Catherine accusing him of ‘not putting in the effort’.

Love Island All Stars 2025 official line-up

Love Island All Stars is back on TV for season 2.

Here we take you through the line-up of all the Islanders who are in the villa so far.

Bombshells

Each series brings with it a string of hot single bombshells making their epic entrance into the villa.

Here’s who has joined the villa so far:

Catherine later made a play for bombshell Montel McKenzie, but he chose to couple up with Kaz Crossley.

In the past few days, however, her luck has changed following the arrival of newest bombshell Omar Nyame.

Despite fancying Grace Jackson during his first stint in the villa last year, he made a beeline for Catherine and chose to couple up with her.

Meanwhile, a gap has opened up in the Love Island All Stars villa after another islander QUIT this year’s series.

Hot on the heels of Scott Thomas, who walked out on the weekend, The Sun has exclusively revealed Ron Hall has also left.

Ron was coupled up with latest bombshell Danielle Sellers but decided to walk after “growing tired” of forcing connections.

A source told The Sun: “Ron was the centre of attention on his series, with multiple girls vying for his attention and with Lana always there for him to return to.

“It was a bit of a rude awakening for him this time round as he just couldn’t find a single spark.”

Beyoncé has confirmed the locations for her forthcoming Cowboy Carter tour.

The 43-year-old Crazy in Love superstar will take her show to Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Houston, Atlanta, Washington D.C and Las Vegas.

Where is Beyoncé playing?

The singer’s only non-US shows confirmed so far are in London and Paris. She will give four performances at London’s Tottenham Stadium, where she will go head-to-head with Oasis on their highly anticipated tour in the summer.

Beyoncé announced the tour – which ties in to her most recent album Cowboy Carter – with a pair of Instagram posts on Sunday. One image featured a neon sign showing the album’s name while a second post included a new portrait of the singer with bleached hair and eyebrows, captioned simply “Cowboy Carter Tour 2025”.

What can we expect from this tour?

The first dates are pencilled in for April – with rehearsals slated to take place in Glendale, LA.

A source told The Sun: “After a number of delays finally it’s all systems go for Beyoncé.

“She will kick off rehearsals for her US & UK tour in Glendale, Los Angeles after delaying the announcement as a mark of respect for the victims of the fires.

“She will undergo three weeks of gruelling rehearsals before kicking off the trek at the end of April in the US.”

Grammys wins

The announcement comes after the Grammy awards, where Cowboy Carter was crowned Album of the Year. Beyoncé’s win marks her first in the coveted category, after being nominated three times before for I Am… Sasha Fierce, Lemonade, and Renaissance.

The former Destiny’s Child superstar is now the most-awarded artist in Grammys history with 35 awards.

‘Very full and honoured’ – Beyoncé’s speech at the Grammys

Collecting the album of the year award at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, Beyonce, who was joined on stage by her daughter Blue Ivy, above, also praised the firefighters for “keeping us safe” during the Los Angeles wildfires. 

She said: “I just feel very full and very honoured.

“It’s been many, many years and I want to thank the Grammys, every songwriter, every collaborator, every producer, all of the hard work,” she said.

“I want to dedicate this to Ms (Linda) Martell, and I hope we just keep pushing forward, opening doors. God bless y’all. Thank you so much.”

US singer Martell, a groundbreaking country performer who became the first Black woman to play at the historic Grand Ole Opry venue, features on Cowboy Carter tracks “Spaghettii” and “The Linda Martell Show”.

How to get tickets

While the global tour has been confirmed, individual dates have yet to be announced. Ticket prices are also being kept under wraps.

This won’t be the first time Beyoncé has played the Spurs stadium. She previously brought her Renaissance World tour, pictured below, there in 2023 for five thrilling nights in the capital.

At nearly three hours, it featured 34 songs, elaborate choreography, dramatic costumes, pyrotechnics and lasers. Famous faces including Ariana Grande, Dua Lipa, Kelly Rowland and Paul McCartney were spotted partying in the audience.

RTE pundits warn Limerick GAA star ‘could land himself in hot water’ for incident ‘you don’t like to see in any game’

LIMERICK star Seamus Flanagan “could be in hot water” for an off the ball incident in their draw against Cork.

The Treaty County were pegged back by the Rebels in a blockbuster Division 1A hurling league clash at SuperValu Pairc Ui Chaoimh on Saturday.

In fan footage captured during the game, Flanagan appeared to strike Cork defender Niall O’Leary with his hurl.

The incident was not captured by the TG4 cameras while the Feohanagh-Castlemahon man avoided punishment.

However, the fan footage circulated on social media, with Jackie Tyrrell and Joe Canning discussing it on The Sunday Game.

Galway legend Canning labelled it as something “you don’t like to see in any game”.

He said: “It shouldn’t be condoned in any game no matter who are.

“Now, there was an awful lot of stuff going on off the ball last night. There seemed to be wrestling going on every second.

“It’s very hard for referees to see everything that’s going. Stuff like that, you can’t condone that sort of stuff.

“It’s not good to see, but there’s loads of stuff that we don’t see that goes on that shouldn’t happen as well.”

Former Kilkenny defender Jackie Tyrrell echoed these sentiments and warned that Flanagan could be in hot water.

The four-time All Star said: “There’s no room in our game for that kind of carry-on.

“And unfortunately, me and Joe don’t want to be sitting up here highlighting that stuff.

“Seamus Flanagan is a very talented hurler, but he can’t be doing that on the field.

“What the umpires are doing, how they missed it, I don’t know, because it looks to be within their remits of what they should be doing.

“But look, he needs to be very, very careful and he could land himself in hot water.”

Saturday’s game was a rematch of the 2024 All-Ireland hurling semi-final which Limerick lost.

However, manager John Kiely insisted revenge was not on their minds on the day.

He said: “Everyone’s just very focused on the game that’s coming up, the performance, getting it right.

“If you’re thinking about what happened last year or the last day, your mind is in the wrong place.

“I think everybody was very focused on maximising their opportunity.

“You had a lot of players that were getting their opportunity – there were a lot of changes from the last time we met – so it was a good chance for lads to get game-time under their belts and they didn’t do too badly at all.”

It’s the ideal piece to wear over the spring but shoppers must be fast as the dress is expected to be a big hit.

Boho style has never really disappeared since its first trend in the 60s and 70s as it was inspired by the hippie movement’s iconic fashion.

But the style has continued to be beloved by fashion fans ever since.

Boho fashion includes loose, flowing fabrics, bold and vibrant patterns, earthy tones, layering and stand-out silhouettes.

The Gallery Stella Boho Belted Midi Dress will only set you back €40.

It also features a flattering belt, long sleeves and a v-neckline.

And the dress comes in rust and in sizes 8 to 20.

You can embrace the boho chic style with this new dress, blending romanticism, comfort and originality in a single piece.

Dunnes Stores fans are urged to act swiftly as it is selling out fast due to its popularity.

Meanwhile, fashion fans have been sent into a frenzy over the new must-have addition that has landed on the racks at Dunnes Stores – and it’s perfect for spring.

As spring begins to inch closer after the rainy days, many fashion lovers are set to overhaul their wardrobes with new styles and clothes.

The new Savida City Girl Bow Tie Blouse is priced at €30.

It is crafted from soft cotton and some elastane, making it look luxurious and beautiful.

It features a feminine look with an oversized ruffled collar and three bow ties at the front.

Why police were called to first Dunnes Stores opening

BETWEEN the weekly food shops and bargain fashion - Dunnes Stores is a staple retailer in Irish households.

But this wasn’t always the case, and when the initial branch of the shop opened its doors in 1944 it caused quite the stir 

On March 31 of the year, Ben Dunne opened the first ever Dunnes Stores on St Patrick’s Street in Co Cork

Locals quickly learned of the grand opening and flooded into the store in what the retailer’s archives recall as a “shopping frenzy.”

The bargain clothing on sale inside the new store at “pre-war prices” was one of the factors cited for the buzz. 

During the chaos a window was forced in and Gardai were called to the scene. 

Cops worked to deal with the eager crowds and keep shoppers calm and safe before they made it into the store for their first Dunnes experience.

Fast forward some 80 years, the business now employs over 18,000 people and although an opening of a Dunnes branch hasn’t caused quite as much stir since the very first one, it has cemented its place as one of the nation’s leading retailers

Dunnes Stores now has 138 stores across Europe:

  • 118 in the Republic of Ireland,
  • 15 in Northern Ireland
  • Five stores in Spain

The blouse is the perfect wardrobe staple to have as it can be seamlessly matched with any clothes – from smart casual to formal.

Dunnes Stores said it’s perfect to be “worn with your favourite denim jeans”.

For smart casual, the outfit can be completed with jeans, a light jacket, flats or runners and a handbag – perfect for coffee dates with the girls.

For a formal look, you can complete it with black work pants, heels or flats, a cardigan, a long coat and a handbag – making it classy.

It can also be worn during the summer season; style the blouse with a gorgeous pair of denim shorts, sandals, a sunhat and sunglasses – the perfect outfit for Southern Europe.
