Love Island feud exposed as fans spot girl ‘making faces' behind rival's back
LOVE Island fans have become convinced that there's a new feud brewing between two islanders – after a girl was caught 'making faces' at another.
As the ITV2 dating series continues, tensions are beginning to flare between the islanders as they try and find their match, with Shakira having more than one clash over the series.

However, while Shakira and Toni have been accused by fans of 'bullying' Emily, others believe another girl has grown a dislike of Shakira as well.
Megan Clarke, who has been dubbed 'Irish Megan' by fans as there are currently two in the villa, has been spotted "making faces" behind Shakira's back as the game continues.
After Sunday night's episode, one fan took to Reddit and said: "Quite a few people have clocked this and I'm seeing it now after today's episode but Irish Megan has some sort of weird one-sided beef with Shakira too, it isn't just Helena.
"Whenever the boys pick Shakira in a challenge or if they compliment her she's always making a face," they add. "I think along with the other girls that she's also threatened by Shakira.
"They're both the hot brunettes of the Island and Shakira is Megan's only competition when it comes to boys in the villa, most the guys want either of them. It doesn't help that the two of them are in different cliques that clash too."
Others were quick to agree, with one saying: "Yeah, I noticed that too. Megan seriously irritated me in this episode with that face pulling when Tommy picked Shakira.
"Her double standards are INSANE. So it's okay for her to flirt with Connor? Do a sex position with Connor, but it's not okay for Tommy to say he was attracted to both her and Shakira initially in the villa????
"And then what Megan said later to someone, about having sexual feelings for Connor. But only likes Tommy for his relationship qualities."
"I'm not a megan fan but I think it's more that Shakira is the only other girl that is Tommy's "type" which means megan is more threatened by her than the other girls," defended a third.
"If you look at the unseen bits she seems closest to Shakira out of all of the girls that aren't the trio so I doubt it's personal."
Since arriving on day one of the show, Megan has been coupled up with Tommy Bradley, with the pair hitting it off straight away.
However, other boys have shown an interest in Megan, particularly Conor Phillips.
While she chose to continue her romance with Tommy, a game of spin the bottle resulted in question marks being raised.
During the game, which also was a game of truth or date, Megan was asked how she felt about Conor - prompting her to admit: "Me and Conor got on from the start and that got cut short so I feel like there's unfinished business there."
However, things got even more heated when during the game, Tommy paid attention to Shakira during some of his answers – leaving her pulling the supposed faces.
Is there trouble in paradise?
Love Island continues weekdays at 9pm on ITV2.

Forget thrillers, bring poetry to the beach — it fits in your hand luggage
Poetry isn't generally seen as holiday reading. Airport bookshops don't tend to stock the latest collections. But if you're going away exhausted and desperate for refreshment, you can't just stick to thrillers. This is the time to give poets a chance. Anthologies, in particular, are worth packing. In a wide selection, you're bound to find a handful of poems to learn and treasure. Nature Matters, a new anthology of nature poetry edited by Mona Arshi and Karen McCarthy Woolf (Faber £14.99), is intriguing. You start with Zaffar Kunial's Foxglove Country, 22 subtly beautiful lines on the word 'foxglove' ('deeper inland/ is the gulp, the gulf, the gap, the grip/ that goes before love'). You end with Jay Bernard's perfect magic spell Flowers : 'Will anybody speak of this/ the way the common does,/ the way the fearless dying leaves/ speak of the coming cold?'

Daft Punk and French house music deserve heritage status, says Macron
President Macron has called for the work of Daft Punk and other pioneers of the French electronic dance music scene to be enshrined on Unesco's register of world heritage. The funk and disco-influenced electro music known as French Touch, which emerged from the Paris club scene in the 1990s, deserves to be recognised by the UN's cultural arm as one of the 'intangible' assets it deems significant for humanity, Macron said. The president has already succeeded in having the baguette and Alpine mountain climbing elevated to the Unesco list. Musical genres already on the list include Jamaican reggae, Irish harp music, Inuit drumming and the Cuban bolero. In a radio interview at the weekend to mark France's annual Fête de la musique, Macron noted that Germany's branch of Unesco had added Berlin's 1980s techno music and dance to its national list in 2023 — although the international agency has not yet accepted it. The French 1990s version, also associated with Air and the DJs Bob Sinclar and David Guetta, was just as worthy as Germany's, Macron said. 'We're going to do that too. I love Germany — you know how pro-European I am. But we don't have to take lessons from anyone. We are the inventors of electro. We have that French Touch,' Macron told Radio Fréquence Gaie. While Macron, a pianist, is mainly known as a lover of classical music, his wife Brigitte favours French rock, electro and hip hop and recently invited performers to the Elysée Palace. On Friday night, as part of the Fête de la musique — an outdoor celebration that encourages amateurs to perform — hundreds of presidential guests danced in the palace gardens to the Avener, a deep house and electro DJ and music producer from Nice. The Avener, whose real name is Tristan Casara, closed a night that included performances by a folk orchestra from Condom, a town in southwest France, and a French-Caribbean group called Kassav'. The term 'French Touch' emerged in Paris in the early 1990s and gained international recognition later in the decade following landmark releases such as Daft Punk's 1997 album Homework and Stardust's 1998 hit Music Sounds Better with You. French Touch, which employs filter and phaser effects applied to repetitive samples from the disco era, influenced artists beyond France — including Madonna, who incorporated its sound into her 2005 album Confessions on a Dance Floor. • Spinning around: how I became a rave DJ — at 51 The genre was given prominence during the ceremonies at last year's Paris Olympic Games. At the closing ceremony, Phoenix, Air, and Kavinsky all played tracks spanning two decades of their catalogues. The Macrons' promotion of contemporary musical genres has drawn criticism from right-wing and traditionalist circles, who were also unhappy with their prominence at the Olympics. The president's suggestions for Unesco drew attacks from the same sector on social media. François Asselineau, a rightwinger who stood as a 'Frexit candidate' in the 2017 presidential election, tweeted: 'World War Three is looming, France is on the edge of bankruptcy. What does Macron do? On Radio Fréquence Gaie, he announces that he wants to inscribe French Touch music on the Unesco world heritage list.' By Will Hodgkinson, Chief Pop Critic One imagines a collective cry of 'quelle horreur' emanating from the stuffier Paris arrondissements. The country of Édith Piaf, Serge Gainsbourg and other masters of chanson, honouring music designed for dancing to while in a state of advanced chemical refreshment? Those Gauls must be crazy. Actually, the Paris-based music boom of the 1990s is a movement that has taken a few decades to shine. Typified by repetitive, frequently suppressed beats, strong influences from classic funk, disco and even rock, and treated vocals that bring a mood of robotic dissonance, French Touch was a hugely innovative style that set the template for modern dance music. The prime movers were Daft Punk, aka Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, teenagers in robot masks from Paris's smart 17th arrondissement. They combined a punky, DIY spirit with a bricolage approach that saw them take elements from deeply unfashionable artists — Jean-Michel Jarre, new age flute maestro Gheorghe Zamfir, even Barry Manilow was fair game — and incorporate them into their own sound. These days, a rewriting of pop's taste rules is commonplace. Back in the Nineties, it was revolutionary. That is a key aspect of French Touch: eclecticism. Sébastien Tellier brought symphonic classicism to the dance floor with his 2004 classic La Ritournelle, Justice are a pair of DJs who would rather have been rock stars. Cassius took influence from American hip-hop. Air made the gentlest dance music imaginable on their 1998 easy listening masterpiece Moon Safari. French Touch formed during a period in the early Nineties when most of the key players lived in or around Montmartre, had little money, and felt they were missing out on the more vibrant nightclub culture of London, Berlin and New York. Perhaps that's why they weren't subject to the conformity of taste that tends to beset fashionable scenes, and why they forged an ambition to represent France, dismissed for so long by the British as a musical disaster zone, on the world stage. The result was a sound that shaped dance music — and deserves to be recognised as a phenomenon of cultural and historic significance.
