LOVE Island is set for a very tense recoupling tomorrow night – and fans are already freaking out over the repercussions of Casa Amor.

This year’s Casa Amor is about to come to an epic conclusion with the bombshell recoupling teased at the end of Tuesday night’s episode.

At the end of the programme, the Islanders were seen looking incredibly serious and tense as they stood and sat around the firepit.

Helena looked tense, Harry looked worried, and Meg looked upset as the recoupling was teased.

Meg and Dejon face a particularly tense reunion after the Casa Amor segment of the the show.

The stunning couple, who have been coupled up since the start, have faced their tests – but nothing compared to Casa.

Things looked to be on the right track for the pair as Dejon opted to sleep on the day beds.

But Tuesday’s episode saw him flirt up a storm with Andrada, which left viewers baffled.

Dejon told Andrada that she was his “favourite bombshell” while also expressing how he “missed” Meg.

He also alluded to how he wants to take her back to the main villa.

Fans were confused by this and quickly took to social media.

“How can Dejon go from ‘I’m missing Meg so much’ to ‘your my favourite bombshell’?” asked one person on X.

“I don’t even care if the editing is not in his favour, because how do you go from ‘I’m really missing Meg’ to ‘I hope you come back to the villa so we can get to know eachother’ – to Andrada?” said another.

A third then wrote: “Hold up, Dejon wants to spend time with the Andrada but is also going on about missing his Meg???”

While a fourth penned: “Really missing Meg to hope you make it back into the villa?!?”

Reacting to the teaser trailer for tomorrow night’s recoupling, fans were quick to predict what will go down with Meg and Dejon after his antics.

“Meg and dejon are not recoupling,” predicted one person.

“I need Meg to recouple and Dejon come in aloneeeee,” added a second.

“Meg is gonna recouple and leave Dejon hanging,” agreed a third.

“All the boys except for Dejon will recouple,” penned a fourth.

The recoupling will air on Wednesday night, as the OG Islanders pick if they want to recouple with a Casa hunk or beauty, or remain in the couples they were in prior to Casa Amor.

Love Island will continue on Wednesday night at 9pm on ITV2.

MANILA, Philippines — Responding to the clamor from the Catholic Church and some lawmakers against the proliferation of online gambling, the head of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (Pagcor) on Tuesday said it would support moves to tighten regulations for the lucrative industry but not an outright ban. Meanwhile, the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of

MODEL Lila Moss is a Barbie girl, having inspired the first Type 1 diabetes doll.

Kate Moss’s daughter, who was diagnosed with the condition as a child, said she hoped the creation would help children feel proud of who they were.

Like Lila, her doll has a glucose monitor arm patch, an insulin pump on her leg and a bag for emergency snacks.

Lila, 22, said: “Receiving messages from people who see my patches and feel represented by me means everything to me.

“To see a Barbie that looks like me — even wearing the patches, is surreal and special.”

Lila has long been an advocate for sufferers of the disease, famously strutting down the catwalk at Milan Fashion Week in 2021 with her insulin pump on show next to her supermodel Mum.

Barbie maker Mattel teamed up with diabetes charity Breakthrough T1D to launch the doll as part of their new diversity-focused Barbie Fashionistas line, which includes Barbies representing a kaleidoscope of body types and disabilities.

Krista Berger, Senior Vice President of Barbie and Global Head of Dolls at Mattel, stressed the importance of representation: “It’s vital that children see themselves in the dolls they love.”

Over 30,000 children in the UK live with Type 1 diabetes — a lifelong autoimmune condition where the pancreas produces little or no insulin, requiring daily injections or use of insulin pumps to prevent serious health complications.

Lila’s personal Barbie reflects her personal style, dressed in a black halterneck mini dress, chunky black boots, delicate gold jewellery, and tousled blonde hair — capturing the essence of her street-chic fashion.

LOVE Island fans fear Shakira could have her heart broken after finding a connection with a Casa Amor hunk.

Tonight, the Yorkshire lass shared a passionate snog with Barnsley boy Ty, putting her in pole position ahead of villa rival Helena.

Original villa girls Shakira and Helena have become locked in another love triangle, having moved on from their battle for Harry’s affections.

Helena almost conceded defeat after Shakira and Ty locked lips for a lengthy kiss by the fire pit in full view of their co-stars.

Though it now seems to be advantage Shakira, fans are worried about Ty’s intentions.

One wrote on X: “I don’t know if I trust Ty.”

Another said: “idk if this guy likes Shakira or not.”

A third wrote: “Help I don’t trust ty.”

The previous night he shared a bed with Helena and she was left smitten with the intensity of their cuddles.

She told Emily and Meg how they held hands and enjoyed the intimacy.

Even Helena was aware that it looked like she was being “greedy” having already beaten Shakira to Harry’s heart.

She said: “I get from her side it’s like you’ve already got Harry and how you’re being greedy.”

But the outcome of tomorrow night’s recoupling is far from a foregone conclusion.

Playboy Harry hasn’t had any trouble wooing the girls so far, but his cocky approach could end up being his downfall.

With Helena out of sight, he’s been flirting heavily with Rheo.

In tonight’s episode, Harry went straight in for the kill with the dirty chat.

Rheo revealed she’s never had an orgasm through sex, to which Harry replied: “I think I could probably put that right at some point.”

Teasing sex in their future, he said: “I think we’ll maybe see sooner than you think.”

Harry’s comments left fans squirming at home, with one saying: “Harry makes my skin crawl.”

Will he get his way with Rheo, or will he hold out for Helena?

Nadiya, 35, rose to fame in 2017 when she joined the fifteenth series of the hit BBC celebrity dancing competition.

She has taken to the ballroom floor with the likes of Blue singer Lee Ryan, singer Matt Goss and 5 News host Dan Walker.

Now, the professional dancer is making the most of her time away from the BBC One talent programme after her split from fellow pro Kai Widdrington.

She posted a number of behind-the-scenes snaps of her summer holiday onto her Instagram grid page.

The media personality posed for the phone camera in a tiny polka dot bikini.

Nadiya flaunted her washboard abs as she donned a black netted sarong skirt as she went barefoot on the sand.

Her long blonde wavy locks were free to flow freely in the sea breeze against a backdrop of picturesque views.

The location tag was simply left as ‘Somewhere…’ as she played coy with a cheeky smile.

In terms of make-up, she wore just a pink gloss on the lips and black liner as she turned her stunning facial features away from the sun.

She captioned the album with a poem: “Sunlight in my hair, stories in the sand.

“The sort of warmth you carry with you, even in silence,
where the waves speak in whispers and the heart listens closely.”

She added: “A little wild. A little open. Somewhere between the sea and the sky… I started to believe in magic again.”

Her fans and fellow Strictly stars flooded the comments section with gushing compliments.

Dancing On Ice judge Oti Mabuse stated: “Omg. Stunning,” with two heart face emojis.

While a second gushed: “Absolutely gorgeous! Such a natural beauty xxx.”

“Enjoy your holiday, lovely photos,” wrote a third fan.

As someone else noted: “Great photos and looking fab.”

And a fifth user added: “Stunning photographs Nadiya.”

Joanne Cabban, the woman who lost her arm to a lion attack at a Queensland zoo[/caption]

She was flown to Brisbane’s Princess Alexandra Hospital and is believed to be in stable condition.

The victim has since been identified as Joanne Cabban, a schoolteacher from New South Wales.

She is the sister of Stephanie Robinson, who owns the zoo along with her husband Steve, news.com.au has reported.

It comes as a chilling clip has resurfaced online showing a staff member cuddling and kissing a lion at the zoo.

In the brief clip, a woman can be seen cosying up to the big cat from the other side of its cage.

But the lion bears its teeth, seemingly unenthusiastic at the encounter.

A zoo statement published on social media following this weekend’s attack says: “Inexplicably, at this stage, one animal grabbed her by one arm and caused severe damage to it.

“At no stage did this animal leave its enclosure and there was no risk at all to staff members or members of the public.

“Police and Workplace Health and Safety personnel are investigating this incident and have been onsite all morning.

“The zoo is working with them to establish how this incident occurred but the full details will not be known until [the woman] can be interviewed.”

Owner Steve Robinson has since told reporters that the incident was not the “lion’s fault”.

He added that he believes it was not “an attack” and that the lion was just playing, according to news.com.au.

“We’ve raised these lions ourselves,” he said.

“Their temperaments are excellent. We can still interact with them through the mesh of the cage.”

He added that “nothing like this has ever happened before” in the zoo’s 20 year history.

“We’ve got theories but until we get fact, I’m not going to be speculating or running with any what ifs or maybes or anything like that,” he said.

“We’re still processing in our minds and coming to grips with not just what happened but what happens next.”

MANILA, Philippines — Lawyers at the Department of Justice (DOJ) are considering filing cases of kidnapping, murder and violations of the international humanitarian law against the perpetrators behind the disappearance of 34 sabungeros or cockfighting enthusiasts, Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla said on Tuesday. “We’re rolling by the day, we’re looking at everything by the

She was spotted wearing three different looks throughout the day.

In the first outfit of the day she wore a stunning navy jacket with embroidered silver lapels and a matching mini skirt, which showed off her incredible pins.

Next she was spotted looking happy and relaxed as she left the Live with Kelly & Mark show.

For her interview with the daytime show she opted for a pair of tight jeans and an oversized t-shirt that was draped over her body.

Later Rita oozed confidence in her third outfit, which really turned heads.

Saving the best until last she wore a tiny bra top, which showed of her famously toned abs.

Rita finished off the look with a pair of blue baggy trousers.

NEW MUSIC

Rita has recently returned to the music scene with her new hit single, Heat.

The raunchy song revolves around having sex, and has gone down well with fans.

Talking about her new summer banger, the singer told The Sun: “I wanted to really celebrate my sexuality and the way I am as a woman.

“My last album was so different, it was about my love life and getting married.

“But with this next lot of music I wanted it to be so carefree and back to how I was coming up in the industry.

“I wanted to celebrate everything I have become. It’s not super deep, just fun.”

HAPPY WIFE

Rita is happily married to Hollywood director Taika Waititi and even three years after they wed, she is still in the honeymoon phase, adding: “I feel in a really great happy place right now.”

She is now turning her hand to playing Cupid with her pals so they find “the one”, telling them not to only go for “your type on paper”.

After five years, a UK tour also looks to be just around the corner.

Rita said: “My favourite thing is performing live. The fact I can still say I get to do it is a blessing. I am really lucky.

“I’m supporting Ricky Martin on tour and hopefully next year my own tour. There is a lot happening.

“I’m hitting the ground running. My time off is usually around Christmas.”

A HANDWRITTEN message in a bottle containing a “tremendous love story” was today discovered on the coast of Ireland.

The glass bottle had been travelling the Atlantic Ocean for 13 years before it was found on the shores of Co Kerry.

The message contained a number and a request to call it[/caption]

The bottle had been at sea for 13 years[/caption]

It was discovered during a beach clean up at Scraggane Bay, in the Magharees, but it originated in Canada.

The wine bottle was from a couple who had stuffed a message inside during a date on Bell Island.

The island is a popular beauty spot in the eastern region of Labrador and Newfoundland.

And the note was dated from 2012, meaning it had been at sea for well over a decade.

It would have travelled over 3,000 kilometres to reach the shores of Kerry.

At the time of setting off, Democrat Barack Obama was the President of the United States.

In the time the bottle was at sea, Obama was replaced by Donald Trump, who was preceded by Joe Biden, who was replaced by Trump once again earlier this year.

And during the 13 years, the world saw a global Covid-19 pandemic, the breakout of a war between Russia and Ukraine, and multiple conflicts in the Middle East.

Meanwhile in Canada, Prime Minister Stephen Harper was replaced by Justin Trudeau, who was subsequently replaced by Mark Carney in 2025.

The hand written message on the letter inside the bottle reads: “Anita and Brad’s day trip to Bell Island. Today, we enjoyed dinner, this bottle of wine and each other, at the edge of the island.”

‘PLEASE CALL US’

It adds, “if found please call us on” followed by a phone number.

Kate and John Gay, a Co Kerry couple, found the bottle during a beach clean up yesterday.

They opened it at a meeting held yesterday evening alongside Creative Ireland Project Maharees Heritage and Conservation group members.

The group followed the instructions on the letter and rang the number provided.

‘TREMENDOUS STORY’

It had been 4,680 days since the message had been sent.

And Kate said those who made the phone call were praying for a happy ending to Brad and Anita’s love story.

Although the phone rang multiple times, there was no answer, at which point the group sent out a Facebook post encouraging anyone who knew Brad or Anita to get in touch.

However, late last night, Anita got in touch after hearing about the story from her connections in Co Mayo.

And she confirmed that she and Brad got married in 2016 and are still together.

The couple are now living happily in Newfoundland, with the Maharees Conservation Association calling it “a tremendous story”.

THE police officer filmed kicking a man in the head during an airport brawl has told a court he acted “professionally”.

Firearms cop Zachary Marsden has admitted kicking Mohammed Fahir Amaaz, 20, while he was on the ground, last July.

PC Marsden told a jury he was trying to arrest Amaaz for headbutting another man in a cafe at Manchester Airport.

Marsden said he was aware of the “crowd dynamic” in the pay station area and wanted to remove Amaaz from the area in case of an adverse crowd reaction.

He said: “Based on my experience as a police officer, affecting an arrest in a crowd can create its own crowd dynamic risk.

“It would be better to remove him from the crowd.

“I did not want to operate within the crowd which could give them the opportunity to escalate the situation.”

The brawl, which also involved Amaaz’s brother Muhammad Amaad, 26, and two other officers was filmed and went viral on the internet.

Both brothers, from Rochdale, deny assault charges and claim they acted in self defence.

Their lawyer Imran Khan KC told Liverpool crown court Amaaz saw PC Marsden aim his Taser at his brother and may have believed it was a gun.

The trial continues.
