The former air hostess, who has been at the center of multiple love triangles whilst on the hit dating show, has left fans shocked with her villa transformation. 

In a post on TikTok one user uploaded a photo carousel of Helena’s old snaps with many quick to praise her new look while others couldn’t believe the change.

The Love Island star now sports a full head of hair extensions, glam makeup and noticeable lip filler. 

Fans rushed to the comment gushing over the snaps, one user chimed: “I gasped (shocked emoji)”

Another added: “She’s just lost loads of weight and gotten some lip filler, she always had a pretty base.”

“No way !” penned a third.

“She’s such a stunner,” a fourth replied.

The glam beauty is currently coupled up with bombshell Giorgio Russo but has now entered her second love triangle of the season after she kissed another islander. 

Helena began making moves on Harrison Solomon, 22 and was promptly branded a “sneak b***h” by her love rival Toni Laites who is coupled up with the footballer.

Helena and Harrison scooted off to the Hideaway – reserved for duos who are not coupled up – where they shared a kiss.

Shortly afterwards Toni decided to dump Harrison over his “sneaky” smooch.

Despite this it seems Helena still has unfinished business with former flame Harry Cooksley which has left his partner Shakira Khan fuming.

In a game of Snog, Marry & Pie Helena chose to snog Harry, remarking: “It’s been a while and I wanted to test the waters.”

And when it was Harry’s turn he pulls Helena in for a snog leaving Shakira open mouthed.

He openly admitted: “There’s undeniable sexual chemistry.”

Helena and Harry have had a rocky relationship whilst in the villa with Helena dumping him after he snogged bombshell Yasmin Pettet in the Hideaway. 

But, now it seems they may rekindle things after all as the temperature heats up again between the pair.

SANIA Khan came to prominence by sharing her experience of divorce online, before she was tragically murdered by her estranged husband.

With ITV’s TikTok Murder Gone Viral documenting the sickening case, here’s everything you need to know about Sania.

TikTok

Who was Sania Khan?

Sania was born in 1993 and was a first-generation child of Pakistani parents.

She grew up in Chattanooga, Tennessee and went on to double major in psychology and women’s studies at the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga.

Sania had a love of photography and decided to use her creative streak to build a career.

She married Raheel Ahmed in June 2021, after they dated for five years.

Sania filed for divorce in December of the same year.

After deciding to open up on social media about her experience with marriage and divorce, Sania quickly began to gain a far-reaching following.

She also discussed online how domestic violence and divorce are taboo subjects in the South Asian community.

Sania, who went by geminigirl_099 on TikTok, posted videos about the stigma she felt from her family after divorcing Ahmed.

She wrote in one: “You think you can hurt me? My family members told me if I left my husband I would let Shaytan win, that I dress like a prostitute and if I move back to my hometown they’ll kill themselves.”

While another post of hers read: “Going through a divorce as a South Asian Woman feels like you failed at life sometimes.”

While she remained in Chicago, her husband moved to Georgia.

What happened to Sania Khan?

Sania was found by Chicago police in July 2022, a month before her divorce was set to be finalised.

She had been in the process of moving back to Chattanooga, before she was shot in the back of the head by Raheel.

Raheel was found with a handgun and a suicide note, before later being pronounced dead at Northwestern Hospital.

A GoFundMe campaign raised over $36,000 to pay for Sania’s funeral.

On July 24 2022, a candlelight vigil was held at Chattanooga School for the Arts & Sciences.

The Sania Khan Memorial Scholarship Fund was created to support female students who are looking to pursue a fine arts degree at the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga.

STENA Line has announced a popular three-day route is being terminated – following a strategic route review.

The three-day Rosslare to Cherbourg ferry route will be brought to a halt at the end of September. 

Stena Line

The last sailing will depart Cherbourg, France on September 29 and arrive in Rosslare, Wexford on September 30.

The ferry company confirmed their customer service staff will assist those who have already booked travel after September.

And they hope to “keep any inconvenience to a minimum”.

Trade Director, Johan Edelman, said: “Our priority is, as always, the care of our people and customers. 

“We’ve already met with our colleagues and over this period of consultation we will be working with any individual affected to consider all options, including redeployment opportunities. 

“As we work through this change we will continue to support our colleagues at every stage.

“Our customer service team will be helping customers who have booked travel after September to keep any inconvenience to a minimum.”

They firm insisted they will “continue to strengthen its Irish Sea network”. 

Edelman continued: “We have recently announced investments of almost £40 million (€46.7m) in our Liverpool and Belfast terminals, as well as the upgrading of the Fishguard port infrastructure. 

“We will also be increasing capacity across the Irish Sea with two new freight vessels planned for the Belfast – Heysham route and an additional freight vessel for the Dublin – Liverpool route.”

The decision to stop the route was made in a bid to offer “efficient use of the company’s resources”.

It is not known yet whether the route closure will cause any job losses.

Edelman said: “I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank our employees, customers and delivery partners over the past 11 years. 

“Our Rosslare – Cherbourg service is one that we will always be proud of, and we will continue to deliver the same high-quality service over the coming months.”

Meanwhile, Stena Line chiefs recently announced that kids can travel for free – until January next year.

However, your trip must be booked before August 31, with the offer applying to kids aged 0 to 15.

Prices start from €175 per car, with one adult, and kids go free.

Use the offer code KIDS when prompted in the booking process online.

Stena Line has around 40 vessels running 20 routes in Northern Europe and the Mediterranean, with about 33,300 sailings taking place each year.

A MOTHER has gone viral after sharing what people are describing as the “saddest cake on the internet.”

And it’s not because of the ingredients, ridiculous price tag or the slightly lopsided icing, but instead, it is down to what it once stood for.

But now, people are hailing it the “saddest cake on the internet” for a very unexpected reason[/caption]

Just days ago, a single mum touched the hearts of millions around the globe, as she symbolised how quickly things can change, leaving many lost for words. 

Posting on social media, Brooke Steadman shared a post of just two images, which told a story in very few words.

The first wholesome snap saw Brooke holding her daughter, who she describes as her “saving grace.” 

The sweet snap was taken during golden hour, and alongside it, the mum-of-one wrote: “I work a 9–5 to provide. I do every bedtime and long night. I protect our peace. And I do it all on my own.”

But in the next image, the mood quickly shifted as the red-haired beauty uploaded an image of her gender reveal cake, which happily declared “it’s a girl.” 

The cake was sliced through the centre with two wine glasses, as per the viral trend.

But only now, the symbol of celebration feels like heartbreak, as Brooke penned: “But there used to be a time…”

While Brooke didn’t immediately confirm exactly what she meant by the subtle cake post, the implication was clear – the man who once dreamed of this future alongside her was no longer there. 

And Brooke later set the record straight, confirming that her daughter’s father walked away from their relationship, leaving both her and their toddler behind.

Brooke’s powerful TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @brooke.steadman, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly gone viral and racked up a jaw-dropping 8.4 million views. 

It’s also amassed 1.5 million likes, 3,152 comments and 28,000 shares. 

The comment section was taken aback by the gut-punch symbolism, as one user sighed: “It’s crazy how it’s so normalised for men to just be able to walk away from an entire human being they helped create…while women are left no choice but to raise a child on their own.. it happens to so many people.”

I am crying. You are doing so good and you should be so proud

TikTok user

Another added: “Oh I’m absolutely sick.” 

A third explained: “From a daughter of a single mum, she will thank you forever.” 

Whilst someone else admitted: “Just been staring at this for 40 mins.” 

Not only this, but another user gasped: “Girl I am crying. You are doing so good and you should be so proud.” 

‘I’ve moved past it’

In a follow up video, Brooke addressed the wave of support she had received after posting the short video, as she admitted: “It is the craziest feeling to post a TikTok and have thousands of people in your comment section blame your baby daddy for leaving you, or just being a terrible person. Even though they don’t know him.”

He gave me a great baby. So no hatred towards him

Brooke Steadman

Despite this, she acknowledged: “You’re welcome to not like him all you like. But in case you were curious I’ve forgiven him. I’ve moved past it.”

Her mature, somewhat cheeky response even gave her ex-partner some credit, as she added: “He was pretty, so at least there was that. He gave me a great baby. So no hatred towards him.”

Despite this, she then joked: “But if you find him on the street, [I] probably wouldn’t date him.”

A DECADE ago, Jana Hocking hit rock bottom.

She woke up with sickening shame at the memory of crying at her ex-boyfriend’s front door, begging him to come out and talk to her.

In total, she forked out over £900 to ‘cure’ her addiction to bad boys[/caption]

They had just broken up – again. Their four-year relationship had been like watching soap opera – explosive arguments galore, passionate reconciliations, cheating, two stints in prison (him, not her), and several family-led interventions begging Jana to leave.

But despite all the anger issues and insane jealousy, she loved him – madly.

However, that night was different, the Daily Mail columnist recently revealed.

Up until them, the couple’s ”usual pattern was fight, sulk, then make-up sex”.

But when she showed up to his house to repeat the same routine – one they had followed so many times – he didn’t come to the door.

Instead, she got a muffled ”f**k off” through the glass, before his mate emerged to break the news that it was officially over.

Heartbroken and humiliated, Jana called her mother, who came over and slept next to her, as she sobbed for hours on end.

While she was relieved the relationship had come to an end, she was worried for her daughter.

”The next morning, she handed me a book on limerence (an unhealthy, involuntary obsession with another person) and gently suggested I see a therapist.”

She read the book and saw the therapist – but the pain didn’t go away and she longed to see her ex-partner.

So when a pal mentioned a hypnotist who had just moved into her office building, Jana didn’t think twice.

”Surely this woman could rewire my brain to stop going for bad boys (spoiler alert: this wasn’t my first rodeo) and finally make me fall for the elusive ‘nice guy‘?” she wondered.

In total, the hypnotist reckoned Jana would need four sessions minimum, each one setting her back almost £240.

She was a broke junior producer living off instant noodles, but she was desperate.

Jana raided her savings and paid the hefty £950 upfront.

For the next month, she ‘put Jana under’ once a week, and dug through childhood memories, whilst reframing thought patterns, and implanting healthy boundaries in her brain.

But there was a plot twist – the hypnotist set the boundaries so high, that it’s now been a decade since Jana has had ”a proper boyfriend”.

Before this, she might have overlooked a few red flags. Now, one tiny whiff of toxic traits is enough for Jana to run away as fast as she can.

”I’ve become maddeningly picky. My mother calls it ‘too picky’. I call it finally having standards.”

Sadly, the hypnotist didn’t cure Jana of her attraction to bad boys – but while they still get her going, the singleton no longer dates them.

‘You up?’

Fast-forward to six months after the brutal break-up, Jana received an unexpected text from her ex-boyfriend at 2am.

”You up?” read the text to which Jana tried her hardest to ignore.

”Did the hypnotist fix you yet? Nice guys are fun lol,” he messaged almost 15 minutes later.

”Come over. I’ll behave if you do.”

Like a moth to a flame, Jana booked an Uber and drove straight to his house for one last hurrah. 

But when the red flag ex suggested getting back together the following morning, Jana didn’t feel anything – ”just closure”.

While the hypnotist may not have stopped the singleton from hopping into bed with her ”bad boy ex” she did at least stop her from committing to men like him.

However, there’s a small problem – she may have accidentally stopped her dating full-stop.

More therapy, soul-searching and even a psychic or two – Jana has since tried everything.

But a decade later, it feels like her ”forever man” is not coming after all.

”It turns out there are no quick fixes for heartbreak. No magic wands.

”Just hard lessons, a lot of unsexy self-work, and hopefully one day… a nice guy who still manages to make me feel just the right kind of dangerous.”

DUBLIN legend Paul Flynn put forward his ideal candidate for the now vacant Dublin manager job.

Dublin fell victim to a 0-23 to 0-16 loss at the hands of Tyrone to be dumped out of the All-Ireland Championship on Saturday.

Flynn would like to see Declan Darcy appointed to the role[/caption]

Following the disappointing All-Ireland quarter-final performance, Dublin manager Dessie Farrell stepped down from the role having been at the helm since 2019.

While on The Sunday Game – which you can watch back on the RTÉ Player – Paul Flynn spoke about potential replacements for Farrell.

The six-time All-Ireland winner said: “When Jim (Gavin) left, Dessie had done his apprenticeship it was ready made for him.”

“I think maybe the county board are a bit asleep at the wheel at the moment in relation to just having someone ready made to get in there.

“Obviously there’s potential candidates, Ger Brennan is doing a good job in Louth. But he’s in a current role.

“I think if I was the county board now I’d go hunt Declan Darcy and try get him back into the fold. He was phenomenal when he was with Jim for us.

“But look challenge ahead, even just trying to get squads competing at underage level. There’s a lot of work to be done at Dublin GAA.”

Darcy was a successful Gaelic footballer playing for both Leitrim and Dublin at the highest level.

Famously he captained the Leitrim team that won their second ever Connacht title in 1994 and also captained the U-21 side that won the 1991 Connacht title.

In 1998 Darcy moved to the county of his birth, Dublin where he would win a Dublin and a Leinster senior club championship with St. Brigid’s to add to his four Leitrim Senior Club championships he won with Aughawillian.

Following his retirement Darcy began to look into the world of coaching. In 2009 he joined up with former teammate Jim Gavin to coach the Dublin U-21 team.

After winning a Leinster title with the U-21s the pair linked up again in 2012, this time with the senior team.

Five league titles, seven Leinsters and six All-Ireland wins later the coaches stepped away from the team shorty after completing the famous five in a row feat.

Darcy had short stints coaching three underage sides in Clanna Gael Fontenoy and the Dublin ladies football Under-17 boss before landing a huge role in Leinster Rugby.

He was announced as the Leinster Rugby performance coach in September 2022.

He arrived in an active summer for the province as Andrew Goodman and Sean O’Brien replaced Felipe Contepomi and Denis Leamy as attack coach and contact skills coach.

Nearly three years later he still remains in the role but could be tempted to take over from former teammate Farrell.

DEADLY DESSIE

Flynn, the four time All-Star, paid homage to the departing Dublin boss who has given so much to the county as a player, coach and manager.

He said: “He is a Dublin legend. I think the real Dublin GAA people will really appreciate the job that he did.

“Not only did he win two All-Ireland’s for Dublin, he won a Minor All-Ireland and two under 21s. He cultivated the squad that we had under Jim.

“He’s a true Dublin legend. I think he will really be appreciated in time maybe some people in Dublin didn’t appreciate him.

“It’s unfounded, I think he’s been a phenomenal leader for Dublin and he’ll go down as one of the greats.

“He’s just done such a fantastic job, I just wish him well now and the whole management team will be missed they all did a great job to be fair to them.”

Tyrone legend Peter Canavan was on the panel and was also complimentary of the man who retired from inter-county football the same year as him.

The six time All-Star added: “It’s ironic his last game as a player for Dublin was against Tyrone. I played against him numerous times, he was a warrior on the pitch but a true sportsman.

“Likewise his term as a manager, I think he’s given everything to Dublin. He’s left it all on the pitch. He doesn’t owe anyone anything and Dessie will walk away with his head held very high.”
