Love Island fans think one of these Islanders is a moleErotemeLove Island fans think Yasmin has been planted in the villa to stir up troubleErotemeShe hasn’t been afraid to go after the other girls men – leading fans to think she is a moleErotemeFans have also claimed Yasmin’s been trying to ‘split up’ Dejon and MegEroteme
Due to her outrageous antics, fans are convinced Yasmin is a Love Island “mole” and has been put in the villa by producers to stir things up.
Taking to X, one fan vented: “Yasmin is a villain she just doesn’t give a fuck.”
Another added: “Yasmin is actually a beg AND a weirdo omg what a villain.”
Someone else fumed: “They hating Malisha when the real villain is Yasmin.”
It all kicked off after Yasmin turned to Dejon on Tuesday night’s episode, and asked: “I have a question for you, it’s a bit rogue, would you have a threesome with me and Toni?”
Dejon laughed – but was soon saved from answering as Meg called out: “Come here please!”
He joked: “You called me at a good time! Oh my god! We’ll continue that question.”
However, the flirty tone continued as she followed up with: “It was in my head, I had to say it. Intrusive thoughts, intrusive thoughts.”
Love Island 2025 full lineup
Harry Cooksley: A 30-year-old footballer with charm to spare.
Shakira Khan: A 22-year-old Manchester-based model, ready to turn heads.
Megan Moore: A payroll specialist from Southampton, looking for someone tall and stylish.

Shea Mannings: Works as a scaffolder day-to-day and plays semi-pro football on the side.
Remell Mullins: Boasts over 18million likes and 500k followers on TikTok thanks to his sizzling body transformation videos.
Harrison Solomon: Pro footballer and model entering Love Island 2025 as a bombshell.
Departures:

Sophie Lee: A model and motivational speaker who has overcome adversity after suffering life-changing burns in an accident.
Blu Chegini: A boxer with striking model looks, seeking love in the villa.
Yasmin tried to defend the comment as innocent fun, insisting: “It was just flirty banter. I think all of us talk really openly about sex and what we want to experience.”
But Meg wasn’t having it, firing back: “It just seems to be you three all the time.”
In the same episode, bombshell Yasmin revealed to some of the Islanders, including Harry and Dejon, that a man had never given her an orgasm before – which came amid another very shocking claim.

ONE of the UK’s worst rapists has been jailed for drugging and attacking women – with 24 potential victims now coming forward.
Zhenhao Zou “stupefied” his victims using vast amounts of alcohol or drugs to fulfil his depraved sexual fantasies.
PAZhenhao Zou drugged then raped his victims[/caption]
PAHe also kept creepy souvenirs from the women he attacked[/caption]
PAThe Met are appealing for more potential victims to come forward[/caption]
He then carried out horrific sex attacks, which he filmed to keep as “souvenirs” to watch back for his “own private sexual gratification”.
Zou has now been jailed for life after he wasfound guiltyof raping ten women between 2019 and 2023 in the UK and China.
During a hearing today, the court was told Zou had offered to be chemically castrated in the hope of receiving a lighter sentence.
After his conviction, the Met Police revealed Zou could have targeted at least 50 other women who are yet to be identified.
Since launching an international appeal in March this year, 24 women have got in touch to say they may have been raped by Zou.
Officers confirmed they will continue to liaise with the Crown Prosecution Services about future potential charges.
Detectives examined 1,270 separate videos along with nine million messages recovered from his devices to reveal more victims.
They – along with eight of the ten women Zou was convicted of raping – have not been identified by police.
Police released an image of jewellery and clothing that the fiend kept as twisted souvenirs in a bid to track down potential victims.
During his trial, jurors were told Zou first came to UK in 2017 to study engineering at Queen’s University in Belfast.
In 2019, he began a master’s degree at University College London before beginning a PhD there in 2021.
The court heard between 2019 and 2023, he raped two of the women in London, while the other eight were at unknown locations in China.
Haunting videos recovered by police showed victims being raped while they were unconscious or semi-conscious and slurring their words.
In one, the woman appeared to have bruising to her eye, cheek bone and above the eye brow.

Another victim, who was drugged but conscious, cried out “I don’t want” as she was attacked by Zou.
Zou claimed some of the women were “role playing” and all consented to any footage that was taken of them.
In harrowing victim impact statements, the women told how they were too terrified to confront Zou.
Recalling an attack in 2021, one said: “Stumbling out of the room I found myself in a completely unknown place… exposed and violated without my consent.
“For a long time afterwards I blamed myself, wondering if I had given him the wrong impression.
“I hated him, but I also hated myself for failing to protect my own body.”
While a second woman told the court she still wonders “why me” following her own ordeal.
In his evidence, the fiend gave a chilling insight into his warped fantasies and revealed his “favourite” type of porn involved sleeping women.
He said he preferred it when the women “appear to be still and quiet when they are having sex”.
When asked by his lawyer Mark Cotter KC if he liked women being asleep, he continued: “Yes, that’s my favourite type. But I could not find that.”
Zou told jurors he instead watched “specialist timestop” pornography.
His depraved crimes came to light in November 2023 when one brave woman – a Chinese national – reported him to the police.
She told how she was dragged into a bedroom by Zou, who made her drink vodka laced with drugs before he raped her.
Officers raided Zou’s flat in London and found a variety of date rape drugs including Ketamine, Xanax and MDMA.
They also discovered multiple 500ml bottles of Butanediol, which is made into well-known date-rape drug GHB by the body when swallowed.
Police recovered his devices, which uncovered an “unprecedented” wealth of material for them to investigate.
They found Zou was “constantly” engaged in conversations on social media sites like WeChat and Little Red Book, which led to more than nine million messages being uncovered.

MATT Williams reckons the Irish rugby public have grown “arrogant” and warned the Lions “could get beaten” as a result.
Since it is the Wallabies lying in wait for the all-star squad, there is an air of this summer’s three Tests being a straightforward task compared to taking on New Zealand or South Africa.
Andy Farrell’s best of Britain and Ireland side will be fancied to win the series 3-0Sportsfile@VMSportIEAussie Williams feels this general sense could negatively impact how the Lions perform[/caption]
Matt Williams sends a warning… don't underestimate the Wallabies!
But sporting history is littered with countless examples of upsets occurring with it only afterwards that the favourites admit complacency seeped in from fans and media alike.
Regular Virgin Media pundit Williams feels there could be another example of this in the pipeline given how this tour is being framed as a relative doddle compared to previous ones.
Though he acknowledged his rugby union in his nation remains at a low ebb, he told Off the Ball Breakfast: “Yep 100% there’s a tone of it’s only Australia.”
With a wry grin, he then added: “Keep it going guys because you’ll get beaten!
“I’ve been involved with Irish rugby for 25 years and I’ve never seen Irish rugby become so arrogant.
“We’ve seen the English be arrogant for a long, long time – 800 years even! But I’ve never seen Irish rugby like this.
“Think back to November and all of the talk was ‘Awh we should’ve beaten New Zealand, they’ve lost their aura’.
“And of course New Zealand ended up smacking our bums.”
The former Leinster and Ulster head coach then hailed the improvement Joe Schmidt has brought about since taking over the Wallabies in 2024.
Williams emphasized: “What Joe is trying to is reignite an Australian way of playing. Our voice and how we go about things, which is unique in the world.
“We lost that voice for so long and Joe deserves a lot of credit for bringing that back.”
In total there are 16 Irish players in the Lions squad. Farrell’s charges begin their 10-game slate against Argentina at the Aviva Stadium tomorrow before heading Down Under.
He is joined in the replacements by Rónan Kelleher, the only other Leinster player involved because they were involved in the URC final win over Bulls at the weekend, in which the hooker came off the bench.
There are still three Irish players in the starting XV with 2021 tourists Bundee Aki of Connacht and Munster’s Tadhg Beirne included, along with Bealham.
Aki and Bealham’s provincial teammate Mack Hansen is also included among the replacements.
Farrell has not included any Bath representatives with the side involved in the Premiership final against Leicester Tigers on Saturday.
Lions: M Smith (England), Freeman (England), Tuipulotu (Scotland), Aki (Ireland), van der Merwe (Scotland), F Smith (England), Mitchell (England), Genge (England), Cowan-Dickie (England), Bealham (Ireland), Itoje (England), Beirne (Ireland), Curry (England), Morgan (Wales), Earl (England).

A RYANAIR flight crashed into a barrier and lost a wing after landing at a Greek airport – while terrified passengers were still inside.
The Boeing 737 suffered “severe turbulence” during the flight, before those onboard heard a huge bang as the aircraft landed and collided with a barrier.

SuppliedTerrified passengers were left horrified inside the aircraft[/caption]
Flight FR6080 departing from London Stansted on Wednesday morning landed safely at Kalamata International Airport – moments before the sudden smash.
Emergency services were quickly drafted in, but petrified passengers were told to stay on the plane despite fire concerns following the wing wipeout – leaving those onboard the aircraft “baffled”.
Images obtained by The Sun show extensive damage to the Ryanair plane.
A source told The Sun: “The flight took off from London Stansted on Wednesday morning and headed for Kalamata.
“There was severe turbulence during the flight, but it managed to land on the runway at Kalamata International.
“The crew said it was going to be a bumpy landing.”
They added: “But while it was taxi-ing down the runway towards the red and white barrier at the end, the plane turned and everyone heard this loud banging sound.
“You could feel the impact.”
The wing was wiped out by the impact of the barrier crash – as “scared” passengers remained inside – under the instruction of the flight’s crew.
The source continued: “There was an announcement that everyone had to wait on the plane for the fire brigade.
“With the wing damaged the way it was, why wouldn’t you evacuate the plane first?
“Everyone was scared – it was the fact they said wait on the plane even though there was clearly a risk of fire.”
They also said there was already talk about “how weird it was that there was no signal for seatbelts while there was turbulence” on the way down.
The Sun reached out to Ryanair for comment.
It comes after Air India flight AI171 crashed shortly after take-off last Thursday in Ahmedabad with the loss of 279 lives.
The pilot was at the controls of a Boeing 787 Dreamliner – the same as tragic flight AI171 – when he was overcome by nerves.
He was in the line-up queuing to take off from Delhi airport for the 9 hours 20 minutes flight to Copenhagen.
But as the planes edged forward he decided he could not continue.
A message was received by the tower to say that a member of the crew was ill and the plane was returning to the terminal.
A new pilot was then found and the flight eventually took off, landing in Denmark at 10.31pm local time on Friday, two hours and 31 minutes late.

Hatfields boss Gareth Williams told Car Dealer: “We have no comment to make at this moment in time.”
Another senior source told Car Dealer: “I have been told locally by many staff working at Hatfields branches that the business has been bought out by Lithia.
“All staff at Hatfields had an email On Wednesday 4 June at 7:30am.
“The takeover will be complete on August 1.”
Hatfields was founded by Ernest Hatfield in 1922, and was named Jaguar’s Partner of the Year in 2022.
It operates dealerships that represent Jaguar, Land Rover and others throughout the Midlands and North West.
Hatfields would join others like Evans Halshaw, Stratstone and Jardine Motors under Lithia’s wings if the rumours prove to be true.
The Sun has also approached Lithia for comment.
It comes after three major UK car dealerships are set to close in just days as a US giant makes “drastic cutbacks”.
In March, The Sun reported that Group 1 Automotive would shut three Volkswagen Group sites.
The affected sites were Audi Approved Hyde, and Volkswagen Wirral and Cheltenham.
A spokesman for Group 1 Automotive told Car Dealer: “Due to the ongoing challenges presented by the current economic climate, we are unfortunately having to take some difficult decisions, which include the closure of our VW Wirral and Cheltenham stores, and Audi Approved Hyde.”

IF you’ve been keeping up with the goings on in the world of skincare in the last couple years, then Korean trends will certainly be on your radar.
It has been popular in the West for decades, but TikTok has taken the craze to a whole new level.

Instagram @weeghostbeautyLauren has shared her love for K-beauty at pop up shops but is taking it a step further this month[/caption]
The trending ‘glass skin’ look is perhaps why K-beauty is on every beauty fan’s radar, but it’s the quality of the products that keeps them buying.
And nobody knows this better than Korean skincare expert Lauren Miller who has been using the innovative buys for five years.
Lauren first discovered K-beauty while working in the operating theatres at a busy hospital during Covid.
The Scots mum’s skin “really suffered” from wearing PPE all day so when she stumbled across an advert for Korean products she decided to give them a go – and they have completely transformed her skin.
She told Scottish Woman Magazine: “My acne improved, my skin was softer, and my redness and irritation were gone. It changed my life, and I wouldn’t use anything else on my skin now.
“It’s almost addictive, with so many brands and products to choose from – but with ingredients to treat so many skin problems, there really is a product for everyone.”
And Lauren is now opening Scotland’s first Korean skincare store, Wee Ghost Beauty, in Glasgow later this month.
She said: “In Scotland, we can have all four seasons in one day and our skin can really suffer. I believe Korean skincare is the answer we’ve all been looking for.
I want my customers – no matter what their budget is – to be able to buy from Wee Ghost Beauty. Quality skincare should be accessible to all, and I believe that is where Korean skincare stands out from the crowd.
“Even in the less expensive brands you will still find the best ingredients and a huge range of products, so it appeals to beginners and enthusiasts of all ages and budgets.”
Korean skincare places particular emphasis on hydration, skin barrier repair, brightening, and anti-ageing.
The use of microbiome and probiotic ingredients is also popular.
Korean skincare routines can be up to 10 steps and double cleansing is always a must.
And sought-after K-beauty products often contain innovative ingredients you might not have come across before, such as snail mucin – the mucus secreted by snails.
You might be put off by the idea, but lovers of this slimy skincare craze claim products containing snail mucin leave their face glowing and hydrated.
Other ingredients you might not have seen incorporated into skincare before include ginseng and bean essence.
Wee Ghost Beauty opens at 79 West Regent Street, Glasgow, on June 28
