Grammys viewers stunned as Love Island icon attends star-studded ceremony

GRAMMY viewers were left stunned after a 2018 Love Island star rocked up on the Red Carpet.

The prestigious annual event, this year held at the Crypto.com Arena in downtown Los Angeles, saw famous faces including Bianca Censori, Willow Smith and Sabrina Carpenter strutting their stuff on their arrival.

Espresso singer Sabrina pulled out all the stops to showcase four breathtaking looks as she scooped the award for Best Pop Album.

And Grammys fans were left branding Charli XCX’s X-Rated performance as “the best in the show’s history” – but what they didn’t expect was a reality TV star to be in the midst of the A-List bunch.

Eyal Booker, who entered the Love Island villa five years ago, was spotted posing up a storm before he entered the Grammy’s ceremony.

The model, who coupled up with Megan Barton Hanson during his series before being dumped on Day 25, was seen as he posed next to hoardings raising money for the LA wildfires.

The Londoner, 29, who trained at the Sylvia Young Theatre School, donned a chic black blazer emblazoned with patterned detail on the lapels.

He paired it with matching suit trousers and black shoes, along with a white shirt and black tie.

The catwalk star looked effortless as he struck a series of looks for the camera before heading inside.

On his Instagram Stories, Eyal re-posted one snap and wrote: “Grateful to be here.

“Thank you for having me.”

Eyal then uploaded a snap showing Stevie Wonder performing at the event.

One fan took to X to note their surprise and wrote: “What on earth is Eyal Booker doing at The Grammys?”

Yet another supportive Instagram follower put: “Have the best time!!”

One then added: “You literally look sooooooo handsome.”

In a lengthy caption Eyal wrote: “What a beautiful, inspiring night watching the music community come together to not only support and lift each other up but also support LA, the communities that lost everything and raise an incredible amount of money to give back to those in need.”

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:

He then admitted he was: “Truly inspired by tonight.

“Don’t let others put you in a box.”

Continuing his inspirational message, he added: “Work hard, stay focussed and kind.

“Go do, be and achieve all that you want. The sky is the limit and you can do it.

“PS I got to watch Stevie Wonder perform We Are The World.

“A truly remarkable night and I may be biased but I think it was the best Grammys to date.

“Thank you for having me.”

Eyal is no stranger to the Hollywood lifestyle, after having previously dated model Delilah Belle Hamlin, daughter of Harry Hamlin.

WILDFIRE HORROR

Eyal was addressing the terrifying wildfires that broke out through Los Angeles County last month, devastating lives and homes and areas in their wake.

A horror 3D map then showed LA subsumed by the blazes.

A chilling 3D map shows how quickly the blaze – the largest of the fires and one of the most destructive in California’s history – decimated the area.

Homes have been reduced to smouldering ruins, while an apocalyptic landscape is all that remains in some neighbourhoods.

The Palisades Fire erupted on January 7 – and by that evening had spread across almost 3,000 acres.

It then roared across more than 17,000 acres by the following night.

Tennis star FORFEITS Davis Cup tie for refusing to play after being left with inflamed eye by opponent

TENNIS star Cristian Garin refused to play and demanded a disqualification after his opponent charged into him.

The shocking incident occurred during the deciding set of a crucial Davis Cup tie between Chile and Belgium.

Garin’s opponent Zizou Bergs had just broken serve to go 6-5 up when he jumped and sprinted over to his team in celebration.

But he could not slow down in time as the Chilean also came around the net to change ends.

Bergs ended up smashing into Garin and his shoulder bashed his eye.

The 2022 Wimbledon quarter-finalist dropped the floor and Belgium’s noisy fans suddenly fell silent.

Chile demanded that Bergs was disqualified from the match and they furiously argued with the umpire.

But the officials decided not to default him and they were therefore forced to slap Garin with a game penalty for refusing to play.

It meant a win for Belgium in the match and the overall tie 3-1.

Garin later took to social media to show off his inflamed eye and Chile’s doctor claimed the star was not fit to play due to dizziness and difficulties seeing.

The independent doctor claimed he was fine to play, which is why they handed him a punishment.

Former world No17 Garin claimed in his press conference: “They wanted to finish that match at any cost.”

Chile captain Nicolas Massu raged: “One hour-and-a-half later we still didn’t receive any apology from anyone. Not a single person asked if Cristian is okay.”

Garin continued his fury on Instagram, writing: “I still can’t believe they got us DISQUALIFIED.

“That the general referee forced me to play with dizziness and unable to see well after 2h40 min playing at high intensity.

“Years loving this sport watching millions of matches and I never saw, nor thought about living something like this.

“So sad after all the week’s effort and all the team work.

“Thanks to ITF for ZERO CONCERN FOR MY HEALTH. Thanks to all Chile. Hard moment but we keep going.”

Tennis legend Martina Navratilova shared her thoughts, saying: “I am sorry – that should be a default. Out of control. Mind you the screaming is not great either.”

Fans joked: “Tennis has become the UFC.”

Sam Prendergast insists Jack Crowley battle is ‘healthy competition’ amid comparisons with Johnny Sexton vs Ronan O’Gara

SAM PRENDERGAST reckons his rivalry with Jack Crowley is ‘healthy’.

Leinster out-half Prendergast started at No  10 in Ireland’s Six Nations win over England at No 10 on Saturday, with Munster’s Crowley on the bench.

But Prendergast said: “I think it’s quite healthy competition. Jack is a great lad and player. I’ve seen how well he’s played.”

Fans have likened the battle for the Ireland No  10 jersey to Ronan O’Gara’s fight with Johnny Sexton in the 2010s.

But Prendergast insists there are no issues between him and Crowley.

The Leinster hotshot explained: “I think we both work together, as much as people want to think we hate each other. We just work together.

“He’s playing very well and played very well when he came on against England.”

Prendergast started and had some good moments, including a mammoth kick to give Ireland the lead.

However, he missed two conversions. Crowley was introduced and added the extras twice as Ireland’s replacements finished off the game.

But interim head coach Simon Easterby praised Prendergast for his Six Nations debut display.

Easterby said: “He did a lot of really good things out there and there are things he’ll feel he can improve on.”

Rauw Alejandro reveals he almost had VERY different career before working with Shakira & JLo as he announces UK shows

HE has duetted with Shakira, Jennifer Lopez and Selena Gomez to name but a few – but if you haven’t heard of Rauw Alejandro already, you should expect to see a lot more of him.

The Puerto Rican singer is rocketing in popularity and is coming to the UK this summer for his first gig here — a decade after jacking in a flourishing football career to make it in music.

Rauw sat down with Bizarre’s Howell to talk about his journey to stardom, which includes amassing more than 20million followers online and selling millions of records around the globe.

He has released five albums in five years and worked with Pharrell Williams on his most recent, Cosa Nuestra — but he originally dreamed of becoming a footballer.

And now his idols on the pitch are fans of his.

Rauw, who will kick off his European tour with a show in London on June 17, explained: “Puerto Rico is more focused on other types of sports.

“Football was my sport since I was a kid, but I have to pay the bills.

“I have to live and it’s not enough for me.

“When I was 21, I moved to the States. I was like, man, I love this sport, but maybe it’s not for me.

“I was doing music because it was my hobby and it was my escape from my problems.

“One day, a friend of mine said, ‘Bro, all these songs that you have in your archive, put it out for the world. You have nothing to lose. Check your bank account’. So that was the moment when I switched.”

And since then, there has been no looking back.

He added: “Ten years now after that decision, it’s been the right one.

It’s crazy because I know all the players around the world.

“A lot of players write to me like, ‘Bro, I love your music. I put your music on before the game, after the game, if I lose a game . . . ’

‘Secret sauce’

“I feel that I’ve made it and I’ve been able to play in celebrity games with footballers — idols for me growing up, like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.”

I challenge you not to move your hips to the reggaeton beat of his latest single Que Pasaría which he created with Bad Bunny, who has spent two weeks at No1 in the US with his own album.

And it’s clear that Spanish language music is having a moment here like never before.

There’s something about Latin music that is special. We’ve got some secret sauce in it

Rauw

Rauw explained: “There’s something about Latin music that is special. We’ve got some secret sauce in it.

“It’s a lot of passion and romantic and energetic in a way, and puts you in a good mood.”

He has been working out every day in the lead-up to his tour and says he does so for his female fans.

Rauw — who said he’s inundated with flirty messages online “every hour” — admitted: “I’m a ladies man. I sing about sex and romance. So I have to be in good shape.”

And away from his love life, he has his work cut out for him on stage.

Describing his upcoming tour he said: “People have to dress up because we’re going to a 1970s party in New York.

“It’s like a Broadway show, West Side Story.”

Rauw will release his next album Cosa Nuesta Part II in the coming months and might just have some superstar pals join him on it.

He said: “The top of my list is still Bruno Mars. I’m a big fan of him.”

And he may well work with Madonna after she revealed she likes his songs.

Rauw said: “She’s amazing. I grew up with her music.

“I’ve seen her on stage — she is powerful.”

They say talent recognises talent, so I’m excited to see where things go for Rauw.
