Love Island's Ronnie grows close to stunning influencer as they're spotted flirting after Harriett split
LOVE Island's Ronnie Vint is already growing close to a glamorous influencer just days after his split from Harriett Blackmore. The Sun can exclusively reveal Ronnie spent a night in Ibiza chatting up stunning Lauren Watson, who has 153,000 followers on Instagram. 5 5 5 He was at the launch of the Unexpected Hotel in Ibiza on Tuesday and spent most of it flirting with Lauren. An onlooker said: 'Ronnie looked really into Lauren, and certainly wasn't spending his time pining over Harriett. "He's always had an eye for the ladies, so it was no surprise that Lauren caught his attention. "They spent most of the night chatting and looked very cosy. They're also following each other on social media already.' A rep for Ronnie declined to comment. Prior to the Ibiza getaway, Ronnie and Harriett unfollowed each other on social media and deleted pictures. Yesterday we confirmed they had split up. Fans had spotted that footballer Ronnie, 28, had removed photos of Harriett, 25, from Instagram - sparking fears they had separated. But Ronnie took to his Instagram story to deny that they were on the rocks at the time, and said posts about the break-up were fake. The Love Island star shared a screengrab from an Instagram page that claimed he and Harriett had split. The post appeared to show Ronnie commenting: "Yeah it's true. Will explain my side of things later," along with the caption: "Ronnie Vint is sharing his side of that story with what happened with Harriett." Love Island fans work out 'real reason' Olivia Attwood pushed Ronnie to make Harriett his girlfriend He insisted that was simply a cruel hoax by a social media user, writing: "This is clearly a set up. Edited because we are sweet and I haven't commented a thing. Thank you." The pair had planned to move in together this month before thing took a sour turn. Harriett told The Mirror: "In June. Everything's happening at once. "We're moving up towards London, which is exciting. "It's really close to Matilda (Draper), so we'll be spending a lot of time with her and going back and forth." Last summer, the pair originally split just weeks after leaving the villa. However, viewers watched as Harriet and Ronnie rekindled their connection on Love Island: All Stars. Ronnie was an original All Stars islander and Harriett entered as a bombshell on Day 11.

Perrie Edwards reveals the extreme lengths she goes to in bid to manage her crippling panic attacks
Perrie Edwards has revealed she brings her therapist to work with her in a bid to manage the panic attacks that have plagued her for years. The former Little Mix star, 31, opened up about her mental health struggles as she was announced as the newest celebrity ambassador for the mental health charity Mind. Perrie who has been very honest about her battle with anxiety and panic attacks, has shed light on how she's learning to cope - including having her therapist on hand to help her face the symptoms in the moment. The former X Factor winner – who's previously spoken about struggling with agoraphobia and blurred vision and breathlessness during a panic attack – said her biggest breakthrough came when she stopped trying to fight the feelings and started facing them in real time. She told Metro: 'Last year, maybe in September, I started to take my therapist to work with me, which I know is a very privileged situation. I understand that not many people even have a therapist. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'So I thought, I'm going to make the most of it. I'm going to take her to work with me every day, and when I'm having the panic attack, she's going to coach me through it there and then.' She admitted: 'It's the best thing I've ever done. And I wish I did it sooner, to be honest.' Despite previously trying 'all different kinds' of therapy, Perrie confessed that the panic still hit her hard when it came out of nowhere and everything she'd been taught just 'went out the window.' Now, the BRIT Award-winning star is on a mission to help break the stigma around anxiety and wants to encourage others to get the support they need. As part of her new role with Mind, she's pushing for more access to mental health resources for everyone. not just those with the means to have support on speed dial. She added: 'I'm just trying to be at peace with my anxiety. If I can help even one person feel less alone, it's worth it.' It comes after the singer has admitted she fears she 'might die' as she opened up about her ongoing battle with panic disorders when she appeared on Alison Hammond 's Big Weekend. Perrie invited the presenter into her home and spoke openly about how anxiety has affected her everyday life. 'I've developed panic disorder' she said. 'So it's the fear of having a panic attack. A few years ago, I started suffering from severe panic attacks. 'I then developed a fear of having one again because I was like, if I'm on my own and have a panic attack, I might die, and nobody will be here to help.' She candidly added: 'That's why I'm never on my own. Never. I'm always with somebody. I don't like the feeling of feeling like I'm gonna die.' Elsewhere in the interview, Perrie revealed she wants to expand her family after welcoming a son Axel in 2021 with her partner Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Chatting about how Axel sleeps in her bed when Alex is away for work, Alison asked: 'Are you going to have another one?' To which Perrie replied: 'I'd love more. I've always wanted four but I know that's a bit excessive now because I know that we can't get in a car.' 'You just get a bigger car, don't you?' Alison responded. Perrie replied: 'I don't want to. I had a dream the other night that I was pregnant.' 'Should we go and get a pregnancy test?' Alison joked, to which Perrie said: 'Could you imagine.' Perrie recently gave an insight into her family life and revealed her son is best friends with the children of her Little Mix bandmates. She shared a sweet Instagram picture of her son hanging out with Leigh-Anne Pinnock's twin girls. Perri and her footballer fiancé Alex gushed that having Axel was 'the best thing that ever happened' to her. Leigh-Anne and her husband Andre Gray welcomed their twins, whose names have never been revealed publicly, just five days before Perrie. In the sweet image, Perrie was seen crouched on the floor cuddling Axel with Leigh-Anne next to them holding on to her two girls. The former Little Mixers beaming from ear-to-ear as their tiny tots enjoyed a play date. Axel looked adorable dressed in a mini Beşiktaş football kit - the team his father plays for. What is a panic attack? They are an exaggeration of your body's normal response to danger, stress or excitement. Symptoms can include: • A pounding or racing heartbeat • Feeling faint, dizzy or light-headed • Feeling very hot or very cold • Sweating, trembling or shaking • Nausea (feeling sick) • Pain in your chest or abdomen •Struggling to breathe or feeling like you're choking • Feeling like your legs are shaky or are turning to jelly • Feeling disconnected from your mind, body or surroundings

James Norton and Rebecca Adlington take part in 10-hour charity swim
Olympic gold medallist Rebecca Adlington and actor James Norton have taken part in a wild sea swim for a marine conservation charity. On Friday, the two were among those to take the plunge in a 10-hour endurance ocean swim at Joss Bay in Kent, to raise money for the Blue Marine Foundation, a charity committed to addressing overfishing. Ahead of the event, they shared their earliest memories of the sea and pressed the importance of allowing future generations to 'experience the magic of healthy seas'. Ms Adlington told the PA news agency: 'I've always felt a deep connection to water, so when the opportunity came up to support coastal restoration through this event with Talisker and Blue Marine Foundation, it just felt like a natural fit. 'As a swimming challenge, this one stands out because of its direct impact on protecting and preserving marine life, with £150 from every kilometre swum helping to fund essential conservation work.' The two-time gold medal swimmer added: 'I hope people see this event as more than just a challenge, it's a call to action.' A report published by Blue Marine Foundation in July 2024 noted a 92% UK reduction in seagrass meadows and a 95% decline in native oyster reefs over the last century. Happy Valley actor Norton said: 'Like everyone, I'm in awe of the ocean. It's wild, powerful, and under threat. 'Taking a stand is about protecting biodiversity and ensuring future generations can experience the magic of healthy seas.' He added that his family goes by the mantra 'you'll never regret a swim' but admitted he had never been involved with this level of endurance swimming. New government regulations came into force on Friday which give water industry regulator Ofwat the power to retrospectively prevent bonuses paid in cash, shares or long-term incentive schemes to chief executives and chief financial officers for breaches of environmental, customer service or financial standards in a given financial year. Ms Adlington did not have a direct challenge for water companies in the UK but added that the Blue Marine Foundation was committed to coastal regeneration and improving UK waters. Ahead of the event, Norton said: 'My earliest memories of the sea are going on day trips to Scarborough. 'My whole village would cram into a coach and head to the beach for a day of fish and chips, rock and candy floss.' For every kilometre swum by participants at Joss Bay between 7am and 5pm on Friday, Talisker, who are supporting the event, will donate £150 to the foundation. The company has also pledged a further £112,608 to Blue Marine Foundation through sales of a limited edition whisky.
