The latest batch of singletons are currently looking for love in the ITV2 villa.

Footballer Harrison Solomon, 22, recently arrived as a bombshell – as part of a twist.

Harrison went on a date with Toni Laites and Malisha Jordan, who were both at risk of being dumped.

However, only one would be returning to the villa alongside the new hunk.

As viewers know, he selected to couple up with Toni – although fans are now questioning whether their connection is authentic.

Taking to X, one person wrote: “harrison is so faking with toni to stay in the villa #LoveIsland.”

Another added: “Toni is forcing this whole Harrison thing #LoveIsland.”

A third chimed in: “I’m not buying Toni and Harrison sorry #LoveIsland.”

While a fourth remarked: “Harrison doesn’t like Toni, he just hasn’t been paid much attention… #loveisland.”

A fifth remarked: “They deffo told Harrison to speak to Toni loooooooool I ain’t buying what is selling rn #LoveIsland.”

Ahead of Harrison’s debut, a source exclusively told The Sun: “Harrison couldn’t arrive in the villa at a better time as all the promising, early couples are looking fractured and it’s looking likely he’ll have heads swivelling.”

It comes as another villa girl found herself caught up in drama involving Harrison and Toni.

Helena Ford, 29, sat down with Harrison, to chat and a flirt in scenes recently aired.

Helena explained how she thought Toni was “marking her territory” with Harrison.

She also said that it sometimes felt like Toni didn’t like her talking to Harrison.

Harrison was stunned and intrigued as Helena spoke about the American bombshell.

The two were also among pairs to share a kiss in a game of Spin The Bottle.

Love Island airs on ITV2 and ITVX.

A LOTTO winner has defender her holiday destination after people cried “why are you not in the Maldives?”.

Olivia Love, of Glasgow, scooped £10,000-a-month for a year alongside hubby Kevin last month.

The 36-year-old’s been able to quit her job at a local supermarket, and hire a cleaner and gardener.

Thanks to her massive tax-free win, she’s also made the first steps in building her dream career as a wedding content creator. 

Since going public with her win, Olivia has been speaking out about the life-changing cash in more detail on TikTok.

And she hilariously wiped away fake tears with £20 notes in response to cruel comments from trolls.

Recently, she documented her family’s “first holiday as lottery winners” to North Wales with their four kids and Kevin’s parents.

The down-to-earth brood hired a nine-seater car for the four-and-a-half hour journey and stopped off at a service station for a McDonald’s to “fuel themselves up”.

They hired a stunning four-bedroom 17th century farmhouse for the week and spent just £2,202.06 in total including car rental, food, and accommodation.

And Olivia has defended her decision to staycation in the UK instead of splashing the cash on a long-haul flight to an exotic destination.

While enjoying the sunshine in her Welsh garden, she said: “To everyone that said ‘why aren’t you going to like the Maldives? You’ve won the lottery’. It’s like 32 degrees and I’m in North Wales. Who needs the Maldives when you have this?

“We’re in a beautiful old farmhouse. It’s just so stunning.

“[I] just wanted to take a minute to just appreciate where the hell I am.

“It’s just wild, it’s just so beautiful and warm. I didn’t need to leave the country for this.”

Her holiday clips quickly racked up 11,000 views with social media users rushing to praise her holiday destination.

One said: “It’s probably hotter there than Spain or Greece, enjoy it.”

A second wrote: “Looks lovely! Hope you had amazing break.”

Meanwhile, a third added: “We go North Wales every year!! So so so much to do.”

We told earlier how a simple email from the National Lottery team at 12.33am on May 16 changed everything for Olivia.

Before this, the mum-of-four was earning just £800-a-month working in a supermarket’s customer service kiosk.

She was on Universal Credits to subsidise her eye-watering £1,800-a-month childcare costs and “dreaded” her council tax bill coming through.

She said: “My husband and I claimed Universal Credit because we needed help with the cost of childcare.

“Now, obviously, because I’ve won £10,000 a month for a year, I’m no longer entitled to that which, you know, quite right.”

Olivia and Kevin won the second-tier prize on The National Lottery’s Set For Life on May 15 after matching five main numbers.

The winning numbers in the draw were: 03, 27, 42, 45, 46, plus Life Ball 06.

‘Set For Life’ offers a top prize of £10K a month for 30 years when the five main numbers and the Life Ball are matched.

Players can also win £10K a month for a whole year by matching the five main numbers.

A LOVE Island star has revealed the ‘raunchy’ scenes that viewers aren’t being shown on screen.

Cara De La Hoyde Massey won the hit dating show in 2016, alongside husband Nathan.

And amid the chaos of this current series, and Yasmin’s very sexual comments, OG Islanders like Cara have been saying just how much it reminds them of when they were on Love Island, nearly a decade ago. 

From chats about threesomes to secret snogs, and one boy’s confession that he’d slept with a whole women’s football team, the 2025 series has been far from dull. 

And 34-year-old Cara confessed that there will be a lot going on that we as the viewers don’t see at home. 

Speaking on behalf of Genting Casino, she said: “The things that came out in our series, I don’t even think I can say! So on this series, there must be so much more they’re saying that they’re not even showing us. 

“In fact, there are things they probably can’t show us, because it’s just a group of young people talking and having a laugh. We’d all do the same, wouldn’t we?”

Cara also spoke about the pressure the Islanders will be feeling, and how it feels like you’ve been in the villa for a lot longer than you actually have. 

She said: “It’s so hard because obviously I’ve been in there and the public haven’t been in there, so they don’t understand what it’s like. 

“Once you’re coupled up with someone, you kind of feel safe. I think this year especially, they want to be coupled up because it makes them feel safer as they’re just letting people go left, right and centre.”

She also said Meg’s behaviour towards Malisha in the Dejon love triangle “wasn’t right,” but defended her by adding: “I understand why people’s reactions are sometimes so big because you’re just in a bubble. 

“We watch the show for an hour and then go away and we have our normal life, but for everyone in there, that is literally all that consumes their day. They’ve got no contact with the outside world and can’t move away from these situations.”

And things are only about to get even more dramatic in the villa, with four new bombshells heading in and going straight for a saucy sleepover. 

Lobe Island’s four new bombshells have already left the villa in the series’ latest chaotic twist – but they’ve not gone far, and they’re not alone.

The Sun can reveal the newbies have taken four OG’s with them to the Casa Amor villa for a sleepover.

Last summer, the same twist saw Joey Essex and Grace Jackson hook up in steamy scenes – and producers are hoping for more of the same from 2025’s Islanders.

Whilst we are keeping shtum on which of the OGs are selected for the saucy stopover, we can reveal that their choices leave their partners’ losing their heads back at the main villa.

A source said: “The saucy sleepover worked brilliantly last year and bosses felt now was the perfect time to deploy the same cheeky twist.

“Dejon and Meg have just made up, Tommy and Megan and Conor and Emily are wavering, and everyone else is scrambling for a connection.

“The bombshells aren’t playing it safe though and their choices make for brilliant TV.”

NEW BOMBSHELLS

The Sun earlier revealed the four new bombshells who are fresh on Love Island

The first is Giorgio Russo, who is football champion Alessia Russo’s brother.

The half Italian hunk is known as Gio and, just like his England Women’s and Arsenal champion sis, he’s big into his fitness.

Yet his villa entrance may well mean he will miss Alessia’s stint in the Women’s Euro’s 2025, which kicks off on July 2.

The other lad is Will Means, who will be more than a rival for Gio in the gym.

He competes in Hyrox world championship races and has even done an Ironman.

The boys are joined by two stunning girls.

The Sun had already revealed that gorgeous blonde Poppy Harrison had flown out to Mallorca ready for romance, and now she’s in the villa.

She has set foot in the ITV2 matchmaking show compound after only calling time on her latest relationship last week.

Last but not least is Caprice Alexandra, who looks to be another travel bunny.

Her Instagram is filled with curvy bikini snaps from the likes of Mauritius and Morocco.

A TEENAGE victim in a wave of “syringe stabbings” at a French festival has said the attack left her feeling “sick and scared”.

Around 145 revellers, largely teen girls, are said to have been stabbed with hypodermic needles across the weekend sending dozens to hospital.

One victim – who cannot be identified for legal reasons – was pricked on the back of her left arm in central Paris at the weekend.

Aged just 15, she assaulted at the the country-wide street festival Fête de la Musique (Music Party) on Saturday night.

She told The Sun: “I was absolutely terrified.

“I felt a sharp sensation in my arm, and then realised I’d been attacked with a syringe.

“My older sister and friends got me to a hospital as quickly, but it was hours before tests could be carried out.

“Thankfully, I was given the all clear, but still felt really ill and scared.”

The stabbings happened across France with 13 jabbed in Paris after “unprecedented crowds” hit the capital, according to cops.

Disgusting calls on social media had spread before the festival calling for women to be stabbed, according to Le Monde.

Some victims were taken to hospital for toxicology tests after fears they could have been injected with a mystery poison.

French cops have arrested 12 people over the sick act but none have been been charged, a police source said.

The sick craze appears to be a revival of a horror nightclub fad where mainly male teenagers intimidated girls with alleged injections of notorious date rape drugs, such as GHB.

Investigating officers and medical experts said the syringes are in fact usually empty and simply used to strike fear into huge groups of people.

Dr. Gérald Kierzek, emergency physician and medical director of health and well-being agency Doctissimo, said the craze for “needlestick attacks in crowds made a comeback this weekend”.

He said: “In 2022, a similar movement took place in nightclubs and festivals, causing a fear of GHB attacks.”

Dr. Kierzek said the reported “pricks” were rarely made with real syringes, explaining: “They are often compasses, sewing needles, or homemade sharp objects. 

“These tools can certainly cause injury, but do not allow for effective injections or true viral transmission.”

Dr. Kierzek said it was “theoretically possible” for drugs to be injected into random strangers in crowds but unlikely.

The doctor explained: “Injecting an active substance requires precision, sufficient volume, and hygienic conditions… conditions that are difficult to achieve in a crowd or a concert hall.”

In 2021, a terrified student in Nottingham was spiked with a needle in a nightclub.

It came amid reports of other women being injected with a mystery liquid in a string of shock attacks.

University of Nottingham student Zara Owen, 19, was out with friends at Pryzm nightclub on October 11.

She said she entered the club and made her way to the bar – but that is the last thing she can remember before waking up in her bed the next day.

KATIE McCABE and her fellow footie aces linked up with an A-list pop star – with fans gushing over “a gang I wanna be part of”.

The Republic of Ireland and Arsenal star was in attendance at a Dua Lipa concert at Wembley Stadium at the weekend.

In a particularly star-studded pic, McCabe smiled alongside Beth Mead, Steph Catley, girfriend Caitlin Foord….and Dua Lipa herself.

The multi-time Grammy Award winner blew fans away at a pair of shows at Wembley before linking up with McCabe and co.

She captioned the photo alongside the Grammy Award winner by calling it a “beautiful night with the gyaldem”

Beth Mead hailed it as “The best night” while Ireland teammate Kyra Carus said: “UMM CASUALLLL”

Arsenal FC got in on the act by sharing the pic which they called: “Dua Lipa vibes ”

By and large, fans on Instagram were blown away by the line-up.

One joked: “The best singer in this picture ain’t Dua Lipa though” and a second hailed: “Now that’s a gang I wanna be a part of!”

A third said: “i think my two worlds have just merged wtaf!!!!!” and a fourth commented: “What in the multiverse”

A fifth said: “What kind of multiverse is this” and a sixth said: “I LOVE THIS CROSSOVER”

McCabe has had a busy summer both on and off the pitch.

Her trip to Wembley Stadium came after she returned home from a sun-soaked holiday to Ibiza.

McCabe and several of her Arsenal teammates went to the Spanish resort to celebrate helping the Gunners win the Champions League.

The 29-year-old shared a host of pics from the holiday to Instagram, labelling the holiday a “beautiful week with beautiful people”.

Alongside a pic of her with her beloved partner Foord, she shared pics with the likes of fellow Ireland stars Jessie Stapleton and Grace Moloney.

It was a well-earned getaway after what was a relentless and hectic end of the club and international campaign for the Dubliner.

On May 24, she and Arsenal shocked Barcelona to win the Champions League final.

The Gunners enjoyed the celebrations afterwards, with McCabe taking centre stage at the Emirates Stadium homecoming.

However, less than a week later, she was back in Ireland camp for the Nations League double header against Turkey and Slovenia.

McCabe was Player of the Match in the former, just six days after her Champions League heroics, but lashed out at the football calendar in the build-up to the latter.

The 29-year-old insisted: “It’s the whole calendar. I don’t know who’s in charge of it but it definitely needs to be looked at.

“What it will create over time, and we’ve already seen it in recent years, is burnout in players and major injuries.

“You’ve got world-class players that will be sitting out tournaments through injuries. We don’t want to see that.

“We want the best players in the world playing at tournaments on the biggest stage. I just hope it doesn’t cause too much more harm to us as players going forward.

“Like what we had to do last year, all through the summer, where you’re finishing a season and you’ve to kind of rest but kind of keep fit for the next block of games.

“It’s hard mentally and physically, from a periodisation point of view, to do that. So the timing of the fixtures needs to be looked at.”

The workload has taken its toll, with McCabe being left out of the Ireland squad for a pair of summer friendlies against the USA.

THE Gentleman cast ditched their suits for swimwear as they soaked up the sun during a sizzling break from filming the hit Netflix drama.

Stars of the show, including Theo James, Harry Goodwins, Ruby Sear and Kaya Scodelario, showed off their beach bodies as they relaxed in the sunshine between scenes.

The cast were seen relaxing in the lush garden of the Grand Hotel Majestic, nestled on the picturesque shores of Italy’s Lake Maggiore.

Soaking up the sun and sharing laughs, the actors looked in high spirits as they lounged by the water, sipped cold drinks and enjoyed the peaceful surroundings.

It was a welcome breather in between the gritty action and fast-paced drama the show is known for, with the cast making the most of their time filming in one of Italy’s most glamorous locations.

The series, which was created by Guy Ritchie, gained a cult audience when it dropped on Netflix last year.

Theo’s character Eddie unexpectedly inherited his father’s country estate.

However, he was left unaware that it was home to an underground cannabis empire.

After being sucked into the vicious world of crime, viewers watched as Theo got a taste for it all towards the end of the series, working with the ruthless Susie Glass.

During series one’s first month on the platform it clocked up a staggering 44 million viewers.

Confirming its recommission, Netflix bosses revealed a series two with eight new episodes.

Season two has officially begun filming, meaning fans will not have a long wait to see what’s next for Eddie and his family.

As they drive to expand their enterprise, the decisions Bobby is making seem to be increasingly unsound. 

Now, Eddie and Susie must decide whether to take action or risk losing it all, but unfettered ambition never ends well.

Guy Ritchie has confirmed he’s back on set for the second season of The Gentlemen, revealing: “I am delighted to return to set for season two of The Gentlemen.

“This chapter sees a deliberate expansion, both geographically and thematically, as we journey from the English countryside to the Italian lakes.

“Eddie and Susie find themselves navigating an increasingly volatile empire as they’re besieged on all fronts by an influx of enigmatic new players.

“The stakes are heightened, the power dynamics are more precarious, and I’m thrilled to be collaborating once again with this exceptional cast and crew.”

Theo James, Kaya Scodelario and Daniel Ings will reprise their roles.

The new season will also see the return of Ray Winstone, Joely Richardson, Vinnie Jones, Jasmine Blackborow, Michael Vu, Harry Goodwins, Pearce Quigley and Giancarlo Esposito.

Joining the cast for season two will be Hugh Bonneville, Benjamin Clementine, Benedetta Porcaroli, Michele Morrone, Sergio Castellitto, Amra Mallassi and Tyler Conti.

British professional boxer Chris Eubank Jr and Love Island host Maya Jama will also be making an appearance.

She will play the glamorous wife of a shady associate connected to Eddie Horniman.

There is no firm date for the new season’s launch on Netflix.

TWO apps used to watch premium TV and football matches for free on Fire Sticks have been blocked, according to users.

The pair of apps provide links to hundreds of channels from across the world, ranging from movies to sports.

It’s not clear why the two apps have been blocked[/caption]

They can’t be downloaded from Amazon’s own app store, instead people side-load them onto their Fire Stick and use a VPN to avoid detection.

The two apps in question are Flix Vision and Live NetTV.

Users have started complaining on social media that the pair no longer work, suggesting Amazon may have blocked them.

It’s not clear why at this stage.

AFTVNews suggests that the block may have come about due to concerns over alleged malware hiding on the apps.

Amazon has been approached by The Sun for comment.

The tech giant has been increasingly accused of not doing enough to prevent illegal streaming.

Earlier this year, broadcasting firm Sky hit out at Amazon for not doing enough to tackle piracy, saying that the problem is costing the industry “hundreds of millions of dollars”.

“If you speak to friends and colleagues, [or] you watch football, people will know that you can get jail-broken Fire Sticks, and you can access pirated services on Fire Sticks,” Nick Herm, chief operating officer at Sky said in March.

Herm accused Amazon in particular of not doing “enough engagement to address some of those problems, where people are buying these devices in bulk”.

He also believes that modified Fire Sticks “probably” make up “about half of the piracy” in the UK.

Amazon has previously said that it is “committed to providing customers with a high-quality streaming experience while actively promoting a streaming landscape that respects intellectual property rights and encourages the responsible consumption of content“.

Tottenham flop Clinton Njie has hit a new career low – with a Romanian club ripping up his contract.

The Cameroon striker joined Spurs from Lyon for £8.3million in 2015.

He has bounced around clubs since leaving Spurs in 2017[/caption]

However, he failed to start a single Premier League game, and remained goalless in 14 senior appearances.

Njie went on to play for Marseille, Dynamo Moscow and Turkish club Sivasspor before moving to Rapid Bucharest last September.

He signed a deal until 2026, with the Romanians announcing him in a bizarre video alongside former US president Bill Clinton.

But Njie made just a dozen appearances, scoring twice, and has not played for the capital city side since February 2.

They have now parted company with the 31-year-old, who has won 42 Cameroon caps.

Rapid issued a terse statement on social media.

They announced: “FC Rapid and Cameroonian striker Clinton Njie reached an amicable agreement for the termination of the collaboration.

“Thank you, Clinton!  Good luck in your career.”

Njie said: “I thank everyone at Rapid for this period, colleagues, staff and supporters.

“It was an intense experience, in a club with a special history and atmosphere.

“I wish the boys the best of luck next season, and I hope Rapid gets where it deserves to be.”

Rapid finished sixth in Romania‘s Liga 1. They last won the national title in 2003.

To add to Njie’s woes, a French court has ordered him to pay a car rental firm £56,000.

The trial at Aix-en-Provence heard the footballer leased a Bentley worth £275,000 in 2017, but stopped making payments when he left for Dynamo Moscow two years later.
