LOVE Island fans are convinced the Casa Amor boys told Meg about Dejon’s behaviour in unaired scenes.

Despite a couple of wobbles following the arrival of bombshells Malisha and Billykiss, Meg believed Dejon was loyal to her.

However, seeds doubting his intentions seemed to have been sown in Meg’s mind during a villa game shortly before Casa Amor when Billykiss brought up Dejon’s unwillingness to close things off with her.

Though Meg initially said there was no need to for them to do that and the other girls were just jealous, days later she was reduced to tears thinking about Dejon’s behaviour.

The dramatic emotional switch appeared to come out of the blue as she poured her heart out to Helena.

Now viewers think the new boys have told her how Dejon has really been acting, having seen some of the show before taking part themselves.

One person wrote in a fan forum: “It was a bit odd that it took casa for Meg to finally wake up and realize that Dejon has been playing with her since day 1? Like a lot of the girls warned her. I genuinely believe that the producers or the casa boys let her in on some info. And also, if Helena knew why didn’t she tell her? Lol.”

Another said: “The casa boys definitely got into her head. Ty was telling her that Dejon never tells her the full story or something like that and I’ll bet others have said things.”

A third wrote: “Probably some of the Casa boys said stuff to her about what’s been shown and people’s opinions of him on the outside.”

A fourth said: “I think she’s been told some stuff but she won’t stick to her opinion.”

Meg chose to couple up with Dejon at the very start of the series and they’ve been together ever since.

Though very flirtatious, he has remained loyal to “his Meg,” claiming the “tests” have only made them stronger as a couple.

Though some viewers feel Dejon’s game plan is to stick with Meg so he can coast to the £50k prize.

And Meg is also now doubting his intentions, telling Helena: “I just feel really upset today. I don’t know why.

“I was just talking about things with Em, and I don’t know, we just, like, certain things with me and D, like, it actually makes me realise he really doesn’t mean what he says sometimes.”

In Casa Amor, Dejon admitted he had a spark with new girl Andrada, telling her: “And I feel like the more time we spend with each other, the better things are getting.”

His eyes also lit up after Andrada made a steamy confession.

Clearly determined to turn his head for good, the newcomer opened up about her high sex drive. 

When Dejon asked about her type, Andrada said: “I have to want them three times a day… I have to.” 

Looking impressed, Dejon asked: “So you have a high sex drive?”

She said: “I do… It’s really bad.”

But Dejon remarked: “That’s not bad.”

However, he later backtracked by declining to share a bed with her out of “respect” for Meg.

Will they pick up where they left off in tonight’s recoupling?

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.

ONE in five Brits have fallen victim to a ticket scam, according to a huge study.

A poll of 2000 adults found that victims lost an average of £186 through ticket fraud, with experts creating a quiz to help concertgoers spot scams in the future.

A further 28 per cent have had a “near miss”, leaving them feeling disappointed, frustrated and angry.

And 27 per cent kept their near miss – or actual online ticketing scam – secret from other people.

To combat ticket fraud, an expert from The Society of Ticket Agents and Retailer (STAR), which counts Ticketmaster as members, has shared the top red flags to help you avoid becoming a victim.

Jonathan Brown, chief executive of the STAR, said: “Fraudsters are getting smarter, but there are ways to stay safe.

“Stick to secure, verified sellers to make sure your ticket leads to the real experience and not to disappointment.”

“Buying from a STAR member is one of the best ways to protect yourself and you’ll have access to our Alternative Dispute Resolution service if anything goes wrong.”

https://dev.oathstudio.com/ticketmaster-scam-savvy-quiz/embed.html

A spokesperson from Ticketmaster added: “Our top piece of advice when purchasing tickets is to avoid buying from social media at all costs – you never know who is on the other side of the screen.

“As demand surges for concerts, sports events and festivals, fraudsters often take advantage of that urgency, luring people in with deals that are simply too good to be true.

“Everyone deserves to enjoy their favourite events without worrying about being scammed.

“By staying vigilant, doing a quick bit of research and resisting the pressure to act fast, you can help protect yourself and others from falling victim to ticket fraud.”

The research also found that of those who have had a near-miss, 72 per cent noticed something fishy about the transaction and pulled out.

But 43 per cent were saved when their banking app suggested they check further details, and it made them think twice.

Scammers are most likely to target music concerts, followed by sporting events and festivals, according to the OnePoll.com figures.

And 24 per cent have even witnessed scam-like behaviour when trying to buy tickets to family or children’s events.

Worryingly, only 60 per cent of those polled would be confident they could spot a ticketing scam online.

And of those who have bought tickets in the past from an unofficial source, almost half (44 per cent) knew full well it wasn’t a completely safe way of doing so.

Ticketmaster’s spokesperson added: “Some scammers even try to sell you tickets before the event is on sale, remember that this will always be a fake unless it’s an official presale.

“Another tactic is sending fans a link to a replica of an official ticketing website – so go directly to the page rather than following links.”

Superintendent Amanda Wolf, head of the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau at the City of London Police said: “This summer we’re seeing all the biggest ticketed concerts and events happen, like the Oasis reunion tour, but those scrambling to buy last minute tickets have become prime targets for fraudsters.

“Remember to take a moment and Stop! Think Fraud before buying tickets through social media.

“Look out for unsolicited or unexpected messages selling sold-out tickets as it could be a fraudster.

“Stay safe and follow Action Fraud’s advice to protect yourself from fraud.”

DEAR DEIDRE: BEING compared to my girlfriends’ exes in terms of penis size makes me feel so inadequate that now, if I want sex, I pay for it.

At least prostitutes don’t judge me.

I’m 42 and single. I have no trouble attracting women, but once we go to bed together, everything goes downhill.

My penis isn’t tiny. I’ve measured it both flaccid and erect, and when I’m aroused it’s a good six inches.

But my two most recent sexual partners told me their exes were at least eight inches long. And it’s clear they preferred that.

My last girlfriend was really into me until we had sex for the first time. I couldn’t wait to take her to bed. We kissed passionately before sex and she told me how much she wanted me.

But after intercourse, she seemed to withdraw. And then she got out of bed in the middle of the night to sleep on the sofa.

The next day, she admitted I hadn’t satisfied her, and so she didn’t think we should continue to see each other.

She denied it was the size of my penis that was the problem.

But I know that isn’t true. She’d already mentioned that her ex was so big it sometimes hurt.

I think it’s a myth that size doesn’t count, but women are never honest about this.

Now I feel depressed because there’s nothing I can do to make my penis bigger.

DEIDRE SAYS: Being constantly rejected after sex must be extremely upsetting and damaging to your confidence.

But while I agree the women you’re sleeping with aren’t being honest, I don’t believe it’s in the way you think.

That’s because you’re actually slightly better endowed than the average man, whose erect penis measures between 5.1 and 5.5 inches long.

It’s statistically impossible that every one of your partners has slept with a man with an eight-inch member. Only about one in a hundred men is this big!

Perhaps the issue is more about your self-esteem, which could be affecting your performance and may be putting women off.

Next time you meet someone, resist the temptation to ask about her exes. Focus on foreplay – and read my support pack, Exciting Foreplay.

My other packs, Raising Self-esteem and on Penis Size, should also help you with your issue.

I’VE GONE OFF SEX NOW HE’S TURNED INTO A FREELOADER

DEAR DEIDRE: SINCE my boyfriend stopped paying his way, I’ve gone off sex with him.

He owes me a lot of money and barely contributes anything in rent and bills. I feel like I’ve lost respect for him.

I’m 32 and he’s 31. We’ve been a couple for four years, and living together in a flat I own for two.

Last year, I lent him £25,000 to set up a business. He is slowly paying me back.

But he’s only putting £350 a month towards our mortgage and bills, while I pay well over double that.

Our sex life has taken a dive, mainly because I don’t feel attracted to him any more. It’s been over six months since we were intimate.

I wonder if I’d be better off single as he isn’t contributing anything to my life.

DEIDRE SAYS: When finances and overall contribution are unequal it can create imbalances in a relationship.

Your boyfriend owes you a lot of money, and he’s also not pulling his weight.

This has left you feeling resentful. You’ve also lost respect for him. It’s no wonder you’re not in the mood for sex.

If you want to save your relationship, you need to have an honest conversation with him and come up with a plan so that he can pay his way.

My support pack, Standing Up For Yourself, should help you to do this.

Releasing your pent-up frustrations might kickstart your sex life.

IS SPLITTING UP RIGHT FOR US?

DEAR DEIDRE: BREAKING up with my boyfriend seemed like the right thing to do, but now I feel so awful I’m wondering if I’ve made a huge mistake.

I don’t fancy him, or even like him much any more, but we have a child together. Should I give things one more chance?

We’re both in our late thirties and have been together for ten years.

We have a son, who’s seven.

I’ve been unhappy for a long time, but the other day something just snapped in me. I asked him if he was happy and, when he said he wasn’t, and complained about the way I treat him, I said we should break up.

He agreed, but told me we would be ruining our son’s childhood and future. Since then, I’ve felt terrible. I honestly thought this was what I wanted, but now I’m not so sure.

Is it normal to have doubts?

We haven’t told our son or anyone else that we’re splitting yet, so it’s not too late to change my mind

DEIDRE SAYS: Breaking up, as the song goes, is never easy.

If you expected to feel deliriously happy, then perhaps you were fooling yourself. You’ve been together for a decade. That’s a hard habit to break.

Don’t get back together just because you’re having doubts or for your son’s sake – children are better off with happy, separated parents than in tense, unhappy homes.

Sit down together and discuss what’s best for everyone. It may be that you can make your relationship work again, but it will take effort and change from you both.

See my support pack, Looking After Your Relationship.

But if you’re sure it’s a lost cause, discuss how to split amicably, then give yourself time to grieve for the relationship.

A MAN, 24, has tragically drowned in nine inches of water in a “freak paddling pool accident”.

Roan Bloore died after falling into the water while emptying the paddling pool.

A message written by family friends on GoFundMe read: “Roan was emptying a paddling pool in our back garden when he has fallen into it and sadly drowned.

“His heart was restarted after an hour of trying by paramedics, they managed to get his heart restarted in hospital but damage had already been done due to lack of oxygen, this lead to his organs failing and he sadly passed away.

“He had no life insurance or estate but at 24 who would?

“His parents are on benefits due to medical issues and don’t have much money available for the funeral.

“They’ve applied for help from the DWP but this only covers up to £1,000.

“The price of the funeral we are wanting is only £2,250, its nothing too big.

“I know people don’t have to help but any help is appreciated more than you can imagine.”

NOVAK DJOKOVIC worryingly faceplanted the ground following a scary fall on match point against Flavio Cobolli.

The Serbian, 38, was in Wimbledon quarter-final action against the Italian on Centre Court.

Leading by two sets to one, Djokovic looked to serve out the match at 5-4 in the fourth.

At 40-30, the 24-time Grand Slam champion was wrongfooted by a Cobolli forehand.

Standing several yards behind the baseline, where the grass is still relatively slick, Djokovic slipped horribly – virtually doing the splits.

The veteran lay with his face planted on the turf for several seconds, drawing concern from the Centre Court crowd, as well as his opponent Cobolli.

Wife Jelena and son Stefan also looked deeply concerned as they watched on from Djokovic’s player box.

Thankfully, the seven-time Wimbledon champion gingerly managed to get to his feet, wiping himself down with his towel.

Djokovic then managed to win two more points to get over the line 6-7 6-2 7-5 6-4, booking a semi-final berth against Jannik Sinner in the process.

Following his win, the gracious superstar told the BBC’s Rishi Persad on court: “Huge congratulations to Flavio for an amazing tournament and a great battle today.”

Asked about his scary late fall, Djokovic said: “Well I finished the match… so.

“Nasty slip but that’s what happens when you play on the grass. I didn’t fall yet this year, it was a bit surprising!”

He then added: “It did come at an awkward moment but somehow I managed to find a big serve”

Djokovic also said that he’ll consult his physio, but that he seems okay. He then added that he’s “looking forward” to facing Sinner in the next round.

World No1 Sinner booked his place in the final four with a straight sets victory over Ben Shelton.

Speaking about the prospect of playing Djokovic, the Italian said: “Different matchup. Me and Novak, we know each other better because we played quite a lot.

“So we understand what’s working and what’s not.

“But yeah, I’ve never won against him here in Wimbledon, so it’s going to be a very, very tough challenge.”

FAMILIES whose children took their own lives after being prescribed meds linked to suicidal ideation are calling for a law change to recognise how their loved ones died, with one mum stating: “It would be vindication for Jake.”

Promising young student Jake McGill Lynch was just 14 years old when he took his life in 2013.

The youngster wanted to become a garda when he left school and suffered pre-exam anxiety before his Junior Cert — exams that he would never get the chance to sit.

Jake, from Clondalkin in Dublin, had been diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome and was linked with the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services when he was prescribed Fluoxetine for his anxiety in the run-up to his exams.

Fluoxetine is the generic name for the anti-depressant called Prozac, which can have the side effect of suicidal ideation — a side effect that is at an increased risk for under-18s.

Jake’s mother Stephanie told The Irish Sun that her son had never showed any signs of self-harm or suicidal ideation.

However, just 46 days after he started taking Prozac, he took his own life.

Stephanie said: “Jake was the most amazing little boy. He is as pure as the driven snow. He’d never kissed a girl. He’d never been to a youth club.

“He was what I call my little geeky boy. He was a dream. Super intelligent. Super kind.

“An individual who kept his friends close. He had them since he was small.

“Jake had dreams. He had plans. He wanted to become a garda. Jake had no depression.

“No history of suicidal ideation or self harm.

‘NEVER GOT TO SIT EXAM’

“He was medicated for school anxiety regarding the Junior Cert. He never got to sit that.

“Jake was everything you want in a human being. He is really missed because he is loved so much.”

Jake had written an email the day before he killed himself where he talked about being “drugged out of my mind that I’m trying to suppress all the bad feelings”.

Jake’s parents Stephanie and John faced a 15-month battle in the Coroner’s Court, which they described as combative and stacked against families.

INSURANCE IMPACT

The coroner gave an open ­verdict on Jake’s death and rejected the verdict of suicide because the teenager was not in his right mind.

However, the coroner would not elaborate on the medication’s possible involvement.

Stephanie and John were in Dail Eireann today as Sinn Fein’s Mark Ward put forward an amendment to the Coroner’s Act that would enable a verdict of “iatrogenic suicide” — ending one’s life when the primary cause is the effect of medication.

This change — dubbed Jake’s Law by Sinn Fein — would give some families closure after a death, by recording the truth behind how their loved one died.

“Jake was the most amazing little boy. He is as pure as the driven snow. He’d never kissed a girl. He’d never been to a youth club.”

It could also impact insurance payouts, as some companies do not make payments in cases of suicide.

Sinn Fein’s Padraig MacLochlainn had tried to make a similar change to the law as a Senator in 2017, but this was shot down by then Justice Minister Charlie Flanagan, who argued the verdict could be interpreted as apportioning blame on the doctor who prescribed a medicine.

‘VINDICATION FOR JAKE’

Mental Health Minister Mary Butler today told the Dail that the Government would not be standing in the way of the legislation at the moment and allowed it to move to second stage unopposed.

A decision on whether to enact the amendment will be made by the Justice Minister when the legislative change comes to Dail’s second stage.

For Jake’s family, the change would help finally record the truth about what happened to their son.

Stephanie said: “For us, this would be vindication for Jake.

“You found cause of death. It could vindicate so many people.

“The main thing I think people should take away from it is that this can come to anybody’s door.

TELLS THE TRUTH

“It has come to nearly everybody’s door in Ireland — there isn’t a family untouched by suicide, I don’t think. It is up there with cancer for me.

“We’re all about truth and this verdict, for me, tells the truth.

“I’d like your readers to know that is what it’s for. We’re not saying, ‘There’s Jake, he’s another suicide, another statistic,’ because he is not just a statistic.”

Stephanie and John were joined in the Dail today by Jim and Vera Connell, whose son Darren took his own life at the age of 17 shortly after being prescribed a medicine for acne.

Darren was on doxycycline for just two weeks before he took his life — having never shown any symptoms of self harm or suicidal ideation.

The European Medicines Agency last year launched a study to look at any potential connection between suicidal ideation and the use of doxycycline after a number of worrying reports.

FAMILY CLOSURE

However, the research found there was not enough evidence at the moment to establish a link.

Sinn Fein TD Johnny Guirke today gave an emotional contribution to the Dail debate on the proposed change to the Coroner Act.

He said: “I knew Darren. He was a great footballer. He played with my under-14s right up to minors.

“He was friends with my own son. He was looked up to by everybody.

“He was a great young fella. He probably would be in Croke Park with the Meath team next Sunday if he was still around.

“I want to say how important this bill is to families like Darren’s to give closure by having the correct verdict recorded.”

The Dail heard that Darren’s family have asked for a meeting with the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Health to discuss what happened to their son in more detail.

GEORDIE Shore star Aaron Chalmers’ ‘distressed’ son Oakley is back in hospital as his mum shared a heart-breaking update.

Influencer, Talia Oatway found fame thanks to her relationship with MTV reality star turned MMA fighter Aaron – and the pair share a son together.

Talia said that she knows he’s getting older and more aware[/caption]

Their son Oakley has Apert Syndrome, a genetic disorder that causes fusion of the skull, hands, and feet bones.

Taking to her Instagram story, Talia posted a sweet image of Oakley and penned: “Today was a really hard experience with trying to get Oakley to sleep. (In theatre)

“He started to lash out at me which is understandable as he doesn’t understand why we are here or what is about to happen at the time.

“We both got really upset and especially when the sleepy gas mask was on, he was fighting against me and the staff.

“I know he’s getting older and more aware. With Oakley having autism it makes situations more difficult.

“Next time he will need a pre-med as it was far too much for me and him to deal with.

“He is a trooper today and is resting. Waiting for antibiotics through his canula.”

Aaron and Talia welcomed Oakley into the world in February 2022.

Just a few days ago, Talia sparked concern after revealing their son couldn’t stop being sick ahead of his crucial surgery.

She also previously took to Instagram to post a proud video of her son taking his first steps and shared an update with her followers.

Alongside the clip, she wrote: “Oakley has been using a walking frame for a few months now.

“He’s had some shoes made for him as it’s impossible to get shoes that fit his feet.”

Fans rushed to comment on the upload, with one writing: “He’s a legend. Well done Oakley.”

Another said: “So emotional, what a little beauty, well done Oakley and to mummy!”

And a third added: “What an inspiration you both are.”

The former couple also share Romeo, four, and Maddox, three.

They got together in 2017 but split just months after Oakley’s birth.

MANCHESTER UNITED hope to host the 2035 women’s World Cup final in a new 100,000-seat stadium – with the help of Lord Seb Coe.

United announced plans to expand Old Trafford in March and appointed two-time Olympic gold medal runner Coe to spearhead the operation.

Man Utd have called on the help of Lord Seb Coe[/caption]

Initially, Coe led the Old Trafford Regeneration Task Force.

The group was set up to explore options for developing a new stadium and regenerating the surrounding area which also featured the Gary Neville.

But Coe will now be influential in the next stage of the project after being named as the Chair-Designate of the Mayoral Development Corporation (MDC) for the Old Trafford Regeneration project.

Coe will now play a key role in the next stage of the project as plans advance to deliver a new 100,000-seater stadium at Old Trafford.

He said in a statement: “I’m delighted that I’ve been asked to be the chair designate of the proposed Old Trafford Mayoral Development Corporation. 

“Throughout my career, I’ve seen the difference that sports-led regeneration can make in fostering strong communities and acting as a catalyst for economic growth.

“That was certainly true of the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics – and now, I believe, Greater Manchester’s moment has come. 

“Working with Trafford Council and the Mayor, there’s huge potential to bring new homes and jobs to the area around the Manchester United stadium.

“And looking ahead, I see a chance to bring the FIFA Women’s World Cup to a new Old Trafford Stadium in 2035.

“The home nations are the sole bidder, which presents a rare opportunity to bid to host the global football family”.

As a runner, Coe won four Olympic medals over 800m and 1,500m but he retired in 1990 and later moved into politics.

He also played a major part in helping London win the right to host the 2012 Olympics serving as the chairman of the campaign’s committee.

Concept images of United’s proposed new stadium have been released via Lord Norman Foster, the award-winning architect.

United said they will look for public funding for infrastructure of the £2BILLION project – but will not look for money for the stadium build.

Coe’s appointment does need to be signed off by government – but that is viewed as a formality.

United are also set to appoint a head of senior recruitment, according to The Athletic.

This newly created role will oversee the club’s senior scouts and report to director of recruitment Christopher Vivell.

BOYZONE star Keith Duffy has shared a touching tribute to his wife as she celebrated her birthday.

The singer and his wife, Lisa Smith, have been married since 1998 and they have two kids together – Jay and Mia.

Keith took to his Instagram today to share a sweet post dedicated to Lisa on her birthday.

The Dublin native shared a series of loved-up snaps of the happy couple throughout the years.

In the first picture, the pair were all dolled up for a special occasion, with Lisa looking beautiful in a blue floral dress while Keith looked sharp a cream suit.

In the next snap, they looked happy as ever posing outside a restaurant on holiday.

He then shared a glam photo of them both all dressed up again, with Lisa dazzling in a navy gown and Keith donning a slick black suit.

Lastly, the Boyzone star posted a smiling snap of them soaking up the sun at the beach.

He captioned his post: “Wishing Momma Duffy @lisaduffy14 a very happy birthday, I’m so sorry I can’t be home with you today darling.

“But I’m sure our babies @miad20002023 and @jayduffy will spoil you rotten till I get home. Lover, friend, soulmate.”

Keith’s fans and friends flocked to the comment section to send birthday wishes to Lisa and share their love for the post.

Denise said: “Aw, happy birthday Lisa. Love this Keith. Hope to see you both soon.”

Terry wrote: “Happy birthday to your wife mate, hope you both have a fantastic day.”

Another added: “Looking great. Happy birthday Lisa.”

Earlier this year, Keith made an awkward dig at Brian McFadden’s relationship history live on The Late Late Show.

Keith and former Westlife heartthrob McFadden – also known as Boyzlive – joined Patrick Kielty in the hot seat in May.

The nineties stars took a trip down memory lane to discuss their lives growing up in two of the world’s biggest boybands.

Keith confessed that he and Brian were “similar characters” within their groups adding: “We were both very excitable.”

STAR’S JAB

The former Coronation Street star joked that at the time, Westlife’s tour bus was “much more craic”.

Keith told how Boyzone had made a rule that one of their final tours would be “alcohol free”.

But, with the younger Westlife boys as their support act on the road, Keith added: “I’m thinking, these are new lads. I can teach them the ways of the road. So, I jumped on their bus.”

The hitmakers also lifted the lid on their new group, Boyzlife, and how the dynamic duo came to be.

Brian explained: “Well, actually, I was doing a gig on my own in Whelan’s in Dublin and Keith came down to see the show.

“After the show, we had a couple of pints and were catching up. Keith told me about this show that he’d written for himself, which was kind of an autobiographical show where instead of writing a book, he would tell his life story on stage.

“I thought that was a brilliant idea. So, later on that night, we said, it wouldn’t be great if we did it together.

“So, we actually would go on stage and interview each other and tell stories together about our life. And that’s kind of what Boyzlife was. It was never actually a band name. It was the name of the show we were doing.”
