Love Island star Yasmin suffers heartbreak just days after leaving villa
Love Island star Yasmin found love with now-boyfriend Jamie and they finished third on the ITV2 reality show but she has been dealt with heartbreak just days later Love Island's Yasmin Pettet has been dealt with heartbreak just days after leaving the villa. The reality star, 24, made it to the final of the latest series of the ITV2 reality dating show, and finished in third place with now-boyfriend Jamie Rhodes but just days after the programme drew to a close, she has revealed that her cat Miaow Miaow passed away while she was filming. On Wednesday, she wrote on a black background on her Instagram story: "As I've spoken about her on the show I'm sure a lot of you will know I have a cat called miaow miaow who's been by my side for 11 years now. When I was filming Love Island I had a bad gut feeling something was off and when my mum and sister came into the villa I asked them and still felt like something was off." Revealing that her family chose not to tell of her of the tragedy at the time and she was informed by her sister once filming had finished, she added: "Rightfully they didn't tell me because I was still in the villa but after the final I called my sister and she told me that miaow miaow had cancer and died whilst I was away filming Love Island." It comes after Love Island fans fume as third place couple announced as Yas and Jamie. The commercial banking executive assured her fans that she was trying to keep up with her social media as much as possible but also explained to her near-350,000 followers that she needs time to deal with the 'heartbreak' she has had to endure. She added: "I'm trying to be as active as I can on socials, but am taking time for myself to process this heartbreak., RIP to my beautiful baby girl, you were so loved and will always be in my soul." Yasmin's feline friend had been mentioned several times during her time in the Love Island villa, and her fans flooded social media as they sent her their sympathy. Many had been moved to tears by the news, and one admitted: "Yasmin sharing the news that her cat passed away whilst in the villa is actually the most gut-wrenching thing I could imagine and my heart is breaking for her imagine being so excited to see her miaow miaow and her baby isn't there anymore." Clearly shocked at the news after the cat had been a topic of conversation during the Meet the Family segment on the show, one said: "I'm crying cos she straight away asked her mum and sister how Miaow miaow was when they visited the villa and they had to lieeeeeeeee," whilst another viewer said: "Nooo Yasmins cat Miaow Miaow died while she was in the villa and she was talking about how excited she was for Jamie to meet her." Another fan wrote: "Not the icon miaow miaow passing away. It was Yasmin's cat from love island that died while she was in the villa." Despite the sad news, Yasmin's first post upon exiting the villa spoke of her positive experience on the show, and she thanked some of her co-stars throughout her time in the competition. She wrote: "My love island journey has been crazy to say the least but I really wouldn't have been able to do it without my Jamie, Toni and Shakira. I feel so grateful and blessed and can't wait to see what the future holds." When she and her significant other were announced as the third place couple, were not overly impressed that they had finished behind Harry and Shakira before Cach and Toni claimed the £50,000 prize. One user said on X/ Twitter: "Not my winners third," while another person: "Harry sneaking to top 2 over yas and jamie someone hand me a gun." One disappointed fan commented: "I'm lowkey shocked yas and jamie are 3rd." "Yas and Jamie 3rd place???? Can the UK do anything right," one said and one posted: "I wasn't expecting yas and jamie as 3rd actually." Meanwhile, Angel and Ty were announced as the fourth place couple. The two are now 'exclusive', with Ty said: "It's definitely going in the right direction," before adding he was looking forward to the outside world with her.

Jack P Shepherd's wife Hanni strips down to bridal bikini on romantic sun-soaked honeymoon
JACK P Shepherd's wife Hanni wowed as she stripped off to a bridal bikini on their honeymoon. Coronation Street star Jack, 37, tied the knot with Hanni in a gorgeous ceremony at Manchester Cathedral. 3 3 Having jetted off to the Amalfi Coast for their honeymoon, Hanni showed off her amazing figure. She wore sunglasses and a straw bucket hat while turning and smiling at her new husband as he filmed her. Hanni also posted a snap of herself wearing a black bikini with a black crochet two piece over the top, offering a glimpse of her enviable physique. The couple also enjoyed a romantic meal with a stunning view in front of them. In particular, Hanni looked pretty in a floral print dress with a cowl neckline. She enjoyed a glass of wine while admiring the view, her dark hair pulled back in an elegant bun. They then settled down to watch a performance by Richard Galliano. Jack wrote: "This time last week we were getting married, now we're watching Richard Galliano in Ravello overlooking the sea." The posts come after it was revealed how Jack's ex really felt about their nuptials. Insiders say that the David Platt actor's ex and mother of his two children, Lauren Shippey, was less than impressed by the whole affair, which has been compared to a royal wedding. Jack P Sheherd's new wife Hanni wows in white bikini on luxury honeymoon after his ex's reaction to his big day revealed An insider told The Sun: 'Lauren can't help but raise eyebrows about the whole thing. "She has known Jack for a very long time and has two children with him, so she knows him very well. 'The wedding is not what she or anyone really expected, and the whole pomp and grandeur has left people scratching their heads. 'Her friends have been mocking him for acting like royalty, and she can see why. 'People seem to forget that Lauren went through a lot when she was with Jack - a secret love child and public fallouts over seeing the kids. 'She knows the real Jack.' Before the David Platt actor's romance with Hanni, he was engaged to childhood sweetheart Lauren. The pair were just 14 when they started dating, and they were together for 15 years before calling it quits.

First edition of The Hobbit sells for a ‘record-breaking' £43,000
A rare first edition of JRR Tolkien's The Hobbit that was found during a house clearance has sold at auction for a 'record-breaking' £43,000. Bought by a private collector in the UK, the book is one of 1,500 original copies of the seminal fantasy novel that were published in 1937. Of those, only 'a few hundred are believed to still remain', according to the auction house Auctioneum, which discovered the novel without a dust cover on a bookcase at a home in Bristol. Bidders from around the world drove the price up by more than four times what the auction house expected. Caitlin Riley, Auctioneum's rare books specialist, said: 'It's a wonderful result, for a very special book.' Riley added: 'Nobody knew it was there. It was just a run-of-the-mill bookcase. It was clearly an early Hobbit at first glance, so I just pulled it out and began to flick through it, never expecting it to be a true first edition.' The copy is bound in light green cloth and features rare black-and-white illustrations by Tolkien, who created his Middle-earth universe while a professor at the University of Oxford. The book was passed down in the family library of Hubert Priestley, a botanist connected to the university and the brother of the Antarctic explorer and geologist, Sir Raymond Edward Priestley. 'It is likely that both men knew each other,' according to Auctioneum, which said Priestley and Tolkien shared mutual correspondence with author CS Lewis, who was also at Oxford. The Hobbit, which was followed by the epic series The Lord of the Rings, has sold more than 100m copies worldwide and was adapted into a film trilogy in the 2000s. A first edition of The Hobbit with a handwritten note by Tolkien in Elvish, a family of fictional languages, sold for £137,000 at Sotheby's in 2015.
