ITV reality star reveals he's engaged to stunning model girlfriend as he proposes during romantic getaway
Kavos Weekender star Ethan Aveiro has got engaged to model partner Natalie Taylor after two years together.
Ethan, who was a rep on the ITV2 show alongside David Potts in 2023, proposed to his girlfriend during a romantic holiday in Crete.
The couple, who have a million followers on TikTok, shared their happy news in a very romantic video on Tuesday.
In the clip, Natalie showed off her incredible figure in a white mesh dress, while Ethan opted for a cream co-ord for the special occasion.
The reality star secretly filmed the surprise proposal and explained: 'It's the 10th of June 2025.

'It's currently half six, and if Nat gets the timings right she'll be engaged in half an hour.'
A montage of romantic photos then flashed up with Alex Warren's song Ordinary playing over the top.
It cut to a shocked Natalie walking out, with Ethan getting down on one knee and popping the question.
As a woman played the violin in the background, Natalie was seen nodding before Ethan put the ring on her finger and they shared a kiss.
Natalie showcased the diamond ring on several occasions, including putting it towards the camera in one clip.
Fans and celebrity pals rushed to the comment section to congratulate the loved-up couple.
The pair met in 2023 after Ethan found fame on Kavos Weekender.
Following the series, ITV decided to 'cancel' the Weekender franchise ahead of the return of Big Brother that same year.
The wild series, which has been running for 10 years, followed holiday reps and a group of young adults in some of Europe's most renowned party destinations.
Boozy partygoers jetted off to the likes of Ibiza, Magaluf and Kavos over the past decade and took part in the series.
Weekender has produced a number of popular reality stars including David Potts and Jordan Davies, who are said to be 'gutted' by the news.
An insider told The Sun: 'The cast were recently informed that planned filming later this year has been cancelled and the show won't be coming back. They're all gutted as many of them have been on it for years and it's always been a popular format.
'ITV2 have had to make some difficult decisions with the return of Big Brother taking up a big portion of the schedule later in the year, and it looks like the Weekender series is one of those casualties...
'Obviously in telly land shows can always be resurrected, so it's not necessarily gone forever, but for the foreseeable future it's off the cards.'
For series one to three, Weekender was based in Magaluf at the Lively Hotel before moving to Ibiza for the fourth series in 2015 until 2020.
Following the coronavirus pandemic, the ITV2 show relocated for the tenth series to the Morfeas Hotel in Kavos.
The show followed two different sets of young people aged between 18 and 24 enjoying boozy nights and for some it was their first holiday without their parents.

I'm a plus-sized Love Island fan – the show's latest line up of skinny stars is another GUT PUNCH to us curvy girls
I'VE never been slim. In fact, I've been chubby most of my life. Now in my late twenties, I'm a size 16, which is supposedly the average size of women in the UK. 9 9 9 9 But if this is the average dress size in the United Kingdom, why is this not represented in television programmes we watch? The number one prime example of a television show that has failed to represent normal bodies, and continues to lack in this department, is Love Island. I am a massive Love Island fan, though my passion for it has dwindled over the years - but there has always been one thing about the show that has really irked me. Sure, the red flags from the contestants get on my nerves, as do the love triangles, but it's the lack of representation of normal and bigger bodies that grates on me and concerns me the most. Each year, the Islanders are unveiled, and each year so many of us mid-size and plus-size girls wait with bated breath that maybe, just maybe a more attainable body type might be shown. But when the gorgeous girls are unveiled, our hopes are dashed in one fell swoop. Incredibly glamorous with toned thighs, flat stomachs, perfectly symmetrical facial features, long flowing hair and golden tans - the girls who appear on Love Island year after year tick the boxes of all of the above. And when the stunningly beautiful young women, usually in their early twenties, are introduced to us, we are further instilled with a beauty ideal that is unattainable for so many. Sitting there in my size 16 leopard print pyjamas when watching the hit dating-reality show, with no makeup and a pale complexion as I watch slender, tanned, gorgeous women strut around in skimpy bikinis? Yeah, it can feel like a gut punch. 'WHY DON'T YOU LOSE WEIGHT, THEN?' Some of you are probably thinking "go on a diet then" or "go to the gym" or "why not try Ozempic?" - but this isn't about me, or my health (which is fine, thanks for your concern), or what you think I should do... Watch the awkward Love Island moment that 'proves' two girls are feuding, say fans This is about media representation of body types and how thinness is superior over everything else in the world. Being thin is admired and aspired to, being thin is what women long to be, and with this translated in reality shows, TV and the media - young children are growing up with warped perceptions of their bodies. Children are - and have long been - striving to look like the stars they see when they switch on the telly. So, when different body types aren't represented, they're instantly deemed as "bad" and "unattractive". The 5 Best Body Positive Influencers To Follow @ _nelly_london - Nelly has been on a journey with breast corrective surgery and has also shared her experience with eating disorders, her honesty and openness makes her a great follow. @ lottiedryna - She regularly shares content on living with IBS and finds bloat-friendly outfits to share with her followers. @ stephanieyeboah - Stephanie Yeboah's body positive content has the most incredible message - everyone is worthy of being loved, plus she has the best fashion inspo going. @ isabelladavis6 - Bella's content spans more than just body image and is ideal for women wanting a community of women supporting women. @ jessontheplussize - She advocates for women wearing what they want no matter their body shape. Okay, sure, so that means obesity will lessen if everyone strives to be thin from a young age, right? THE IMPLICATIONS - EXPLORED Wrong. Because this is where disordered eating, body dysmorphia and a whole host of other nasties come into play. I'm not blaming Love Island for promoting a largely unattainable beauty ideal, though, because this started way, way back in cartoons, 90s music videos and noughties chick flicks - but that's for another time. Nor am I saying or demanding that the show signs up obese contestants immediately, but some variation of body type would be nice, right? When women are already battling with themselves over whether or not they should wear a bikini on the beach, Love Island comes along each summer and further instils why they SHOULDN'T wear the bikini - and this needs to stop. 9 9 9 When tuning into the villa of love, where are the size 12s with wider hips? What about the size 14s with small boobs and thicker thighs? Or how about the size 16s with cellulite and big bums? IS IT REALLY A GOOD IDEA? That all being said, and although I am a huge advocate for different body types going into the villa, do I really think it would be a good idea? Probably not. Even the most beautiful girls who appear on the show can get trolled over their appearance, so imagine what this would be like for heavier or curvier women? Constant yapping about how they're "too fat" or how they're "so unhealthy". Rude messages about their "jiggling bodies" and constant questions over how "anyone" could possibly find them attractive. Trolls are relentless, and with bigger bodies on display, I would fear that the mental health of many would be harmed. But which is worse? Women getting trolled because they're not living up to societal expectations and beauty ideals after years of battling negative body image issues... or young girls growing up trying to reach a largely unattainable beauty ideal that could be detrimental to their mental health and wellbeing? 9

Love Island viewers slam ‘mean girl' after she makes very rude comment about new bombshell
LOVE Island viewers have slammed a 'mean girl' on the show, after she made a very rude comment about the new bombshell. It came after three new bombshells entered the show, during the lads' night out. 6 6 6 The boys had gathered together to enjoy some beers away from the villa, while the girls secretly watched on a huge screen in the garden, without their knowledge. Midway through, three bombshells - Emily, Malisha and Yasmin - crash the boys' night and waste no time in getting to know the group. And as they got to know the men, OG Islander Meg has been slammed by Love Island fans for her reaction. As bombshell Malisha got to know the boys, Meg was heard calling her a 'b****,' which has sparked a big reaction on social media. One person wrote: 'Meg isn't all that to be calling Malisha a b**** she needs to pipe tf down with that attitude I can't lie.' Someone else added: 'Meg is crazy , calling Malisha a b**** unprovoked.' A third person penned: 'meg gives mean girl i'm sorry,' and a fourth echoed: 'Meg is a mean girl. Sorry.' It comes after some viewers accused Meg of faking her feelings towards Dejon. Ever since they first coupled up on Monday night, fans have been convinced that Meg is faking her feelings for the hunky lad. Love Island fans called for 'misogynistic' star to be axed after slamming girl over threesome revelation Dejon and Megan were coupled up during the launch show, and have remained together ever since. However, during a recent recoupling, fans were left unconvinced (once again) of the blonde beauty's true feelings for her man. Although Meg still chose to couple up with Dejon, fans thought her speech wasn't genuine. Love Island 2025 full lineup Harry Cooksley: A 30-year-old footballer with charm to spare. Sophie Lee: A model and motivational speaker who has overcome adversity after suffering life-changing burns in an accident. Shakira Khan: A 22-year-old Manchester-based model, ready to turn heads.

He was released with no further action taken and denies any wrongdoing. They also think her body language was "awkward" and a sure sign she's just not that into him. Dejon and Megan were coupled up during the launch show, and have remained together ever since. However, during last night's recoupling, fans were left unconvinced (once again) of the blonde beauty's true feelings for her man. Although Meg still chose to couple up with Dejon, fans thought her speech wasn't genuine. They also think her body language during last night's recoupling was "awkward" and a sure sign she's just not that into him. This isn't the first time that fans have been unconvinced of Meg's feelings for Dejon - in fact it's been happening a lot since they first coupled up. Their first kiss was also slammed by viewers for being "painfully awkward". 6 6 6

Huge Irish actor emerges as James Bond villain frontrunner as race to crown new 007 heats up
A HUGE Irish actor has today emerged as the frontrunner to play the next James Bond villain. Ever since Daniel Craig left the famous franchise the rumour mill has been whirring as to who will take on the iconic 007 gig - but now fans want to know who will play the next Bond baddie. 5 5 5 Now, an actor who was previously in the running to play James Bond, is being tipped to now play the iconic villain role. According to the bookies Peaky Blinders actor Cillian Murphy is the current favourite to be named as the next 007 baddie. He is leading the pack with odds of 9/2. The Irish actor - best known for playing Thomas Shelby - previously said he was "too old" to play the famous spy. But thanks to being at the peak of his career, the Oppenheimer star could be the next Bond villian. Bookmaker expert Jake Ashton said: 'The villain role in Bond movies is just as iconic as Bond himself. "With Cillian Murphy at the height of his powers and trusted by major directors, he's a natural favourite.' RACE FOR BOND Meanwhile, the race for James Bond is heating up. Stars including Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Theo James, Henry Cavill, and Tom Hardy, have all been strongly tipped to replace Daniel Craig as the Secret Service agent. The Sun exclusively told how Aaron had been formally offered the role of the Brit spy last year. Brit acting legend admits he wants to play James Bond saying 'the world's gone crazy' if Amazon casts a US star for 007 This came after we first reported the Marvel movie star had emerged as a surprise frontrunner three years ago. The Sun previously revealed the handsome actor was in the running for the job after secretly screen testing for Bond movie supremo Barbara Broccoli at Pinewood Studios. A source previously told us: ' Bond is Aaron's job, should he wish to accept it. "The formal offer is on the table and they are waiting to hear back." When asked previously whether he would step into Bond's shoes, Aaron said: 'I find it charming and wonderful that people see me in that role. "I take it as a great compliment.' 5 5 BRIT BOND It's also been confirmed that Bond will still be a British man despite being sold to 'woke' Hollywood streaming site Amazon. Before giving up ownership of the popular film franchise, 007's stewards Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson insisted the spy would retain his nationality and gender. Barbara, who took over the Bond brand from company Eon Productions alongside Mr Wilson in 1995, made the arrangement before she agreed to sell the rights to Amazon in a £770million deal. Insiders have hit back at fears the streaming giant - owned by Jeff Bezos - will turn Bond 'woke'. An insider told the Mail on Sunday: 'Amazon is committed to keeping the spirit of Bond alive and that means he has to be British or from the Commonwealth - and he has to be male.' Half-siblings Barbara and Michael took over the Bond franchise from their father and stepfather Albert "Cubby" Broccoli - who bought the film rights from Bond creator Ian Fleming in 1961. Since then there have been 25 movies - where Bond defeats villains bent on destruction, all while drinking martinis and seducing women. Timeline of James Bond actors Over the years there have been seven actors who have played 007. The first ever James Bond film was in 1962, and this is who has played the lead role over the years: Sean Connery - The late star was the first ever actor to play Bond, and reprised the role for seven movies. George Lazenby - The star only played Bond once, but was the youngest actor to ever play the spy. Roger Moore - The late movie star spent 12 years making seven films in the famous franchise. Timothy Dalton - The smooth actor took over from Roger Moore and appeared in The Living Daylights and Licence to Kill. Pierce Brosnan - The handsome star played Bond for four movies from 1995 to 2002. Daniel Craig - The British star was the first blonde James Bond and the sixth actor to win the role in 2005.
