Love Island fans left in shock as 'hypocritical' Harry confesses to having an orgy with an entire women's football team
Love Island fans were left in shock during Monday's show when 'hypocritical' Harry confessed to having an orgy with an entire women's football team. Viewers saw the return of the Got The Receipts challenge that sees contestants slide down a conveyor belt, swipe their card and pick up a receipt, which reveals a fact about an Islander of the opposite sex. They then have to decide who they think the fact is about and kiss their chosen person, before finding out if they got it right. One receipt read: 'This boy has had an orgy with an entire women's football team.' The culprit was revealed to be Harry, with the girls exclaiming: 'It's Harry! I'm not sure we should be clapping for that.' Viewers at home were equally as shocked at the confession and slammed his 'double standards' on X. They shared: 'Harry is just a big gigantic red flag!!!'; 'And if I say Harry made that up because I can't see 11 women sleeping with him'; 'Harry is such a hypocrite?? Judging Helena for being a 'party girl' yet he has had an orgy with an entire football team?? What else is harry hiding? He is 10x worse yet degrading Helena?? The men this year are horrible'; '"The whole women's team" ok Harry someone's telling fibs'; 'Harry's acting like this and he's…thirty?'; 'Love Island just shows the double standards women face on a daily basis. Harry was judging Helena for being a bit freaky meanwhile he's slept with a whole football team.' The challenge took a disastrous turn as the boys cooked up an outrageous game plan which instantly backfired. Ben thought that Helena was the girl that was caught with handcuffs in her case while travelling, and Conor though that Toni picked up the phone while getting down and dirty because of a job. However, three of the boys decided to play their own game within the game. The rest of the group had no idea that Harry, Dejon, and Shea had got together and agreed that they would lock lips with the girl they fancied, rather than who they though the fact was about. Viewers at home were equally as shocked at the confession and slammed Harry's 'double standards' on X But later on in the episode their secret plan was revealed after Tommy pointed out that they all kissed someone that they were attracted to. Harry told him: 'We were all like, boys lets just forget the question and just say who you wanna kiss - so Shea was like I wanna kiss Megan, when he read it out, me and D said, "That's Megan!"' Tommy replied: 'Oh my God, f****ng hell! What do you think will happen tonight then? That will all come out?' The landscape gardener then decided to share the information with his girl Megan. She confessed: 'We f***ing knew it!' Tommy continued: 'Shea said, "When it's my turn say Megan" - I think that's out of order. I don't like confrontation, but I will stand up for what's right.'

KSI HUMBLED by UFC legend as YouTuber is forced to tap in just 17 SECONDS during grappling match
KSI was forced to tap out after just 17 seconds during a recent challenge with UFC fighter Demetrius Johnson. The YouTuber, who has also fought in a number of boxing bouts, set himself a target of lasting one minute in a grappling match with the former UFC flyweight champion. KSI started the contest on top of Johnson, seemingly in an advantageous position. However, he was beaten comfortably by the MMA man, an arm-lock forcing KSI to tap out just with just 17 seconds gone on the timer. 'He put up a wager, he put up a challenge,' explained Johnson. 'KSI does not grapple, he's more of a boxer. — ً. (@C0MB4TT) June 16, 2025 KSI last took to the ring for a boxing bout when he lost to pro fighter Tommy Fury back in 2023 'So I am always down for a challenge, especially someone who doesn't grapple as much. 'I am 145 pounds, he's 210. You guys might say he ain't 260, I understand that but we're gonna get a little bit of a grapple on and see if he can survive for one minute against me on the ground.' He did not. The pair exchanged high fives before starting the clock, Johnson quickly getting off the ground and flipping KSI onto his back. Johnson first went for the leg but decided on the YouTuber's arm, warning him the time to tap out would come soon. KSI quickly realised he was in trouble and wisely submitted. 'Oh my god,' he said after tapping out. 'Holy sh*t.' Johnson last fought in the UFC back in 2018. He lost his flyweight title to Henry Cejudo after a record 11 championship defences. Johnson was subsequently traded to the ONE Championship where he fought until his retirement in 2024. After rising to YouTube fame, KSI turned his hand to boxing, infamously fighting fellow streamer Logan Paul on two occasions. One was a draw, the other a KSI victory. In 2023, KSI lost to boxer and former Love Island star Tommy Fury. That was his last fight to date after a number of attempts to get back in the ring were cancelled.

Read on to see what's written in the stars for you today. ♈ ARIES March 21 to April 20 Welcome to Mars all-star day. If you've been waiting for a green light to push forward at work, your planet ruler reminds you that the control is ultimately yours and you can make your own decisions. Fitness that is fun can feel great, but make sure the end goal is ambitious enough for you. 2 ♉ TAURUS April 21 to May 21 So many creative fires leap into life as the warrior planet shifts signs. You know your capabilities as you push yourself to the limits and beyond. The right people will be watching, but make sure you recognise your own talents. Venus makes a formal message zing with hidden meanings. Get all the latest Taurus horoscope new s including your weekly and monthly predictions ♊ GEMINI May 22 to June 21 You've allowed so much leeway at home, or in a long-term work or social group, but now it's time to re- establish some limits. If you sense you've pushed too far, you can say so. Your love profile thrives on mystery, but remember the fine line between tantalising teasing and frustrating confusion. ♋ CANCER June 22 to July 22 Everything you sense was left unsaid between two important individuals or groups can come into the open now, thanks to Mars' movement. You can be forceful without being rude – so make a special effort to really understand where opponents, and even allies, are coming from. ♌ LEO July 23 to August 23 Spending can feel harder to control with the new fire in your chart – but you also have a bold new sense of being able to let certain things go. So you buy well, and buy only once, rather than making mistakes. Your new energy in love does very well directed at a set of promises that may have lost their shine. ♍ VIRGO August 24 to September 22 You will start a period of Mars mentorship that puts your own desires front and centre.

New passion can start where a pathway ends. Get all the latest Virgo horoscope news including your weekly and monthly predictions ♎ LIBRA September 23 to October 23 Asking for exactly what you need – from more freedom to some time alone – is easier with Mars on board, but you also have a little less tact as a result of this planet position, so do monitor this.

Making a solo task into a team effort can speed success. ♏ SCORPIO October 24 to November 22 Mercury can show you a simpler way to reach the same destination – if you allow yourself to let a travel plan open up to change. In every part of your life today, sticking to set schemes out of stubbornness can leave you stranded. When you are flexible and accept and act on feedback, so much can change.

It may not always be easy to find, but it will be so worthwhile. Get all the latest Sagittarius horoscope news including your weekly and monthly predictions ♑ CAPRICORN December 22 to January 20 The key change Mars brings to your chart is movement. Rather than standing still, make an effort to push forward – in health, career and passion, plus any other aspect of life that really matters to you. The important thing is to be truthful about where you really want to go – and how you could get there. Get all the latest Capricorn horoscope news including your weekly and monthly predictions 2 ♒ AQUARIUS January 21 to February 18 The more you try to play it cool, the more deep feelings could break through your mask – especially jealousy. So if there is a chat you know you need to have with a partner, or anyone else you have started to see differently, the time to do it is now – before negative feelings get stronger. Get all the latest Aquarius horoscope news including your weekly and monthly predictions ♓ PISCES February 19 to March 20 You love and value true equality. With planet Mars now in your negotiations and teamwork sector, you can see this is your time to stand up and take the lead, especially at home. Where strong words are needed, you can provide. But do leave space on your schedule for some unexpected 'K' loving.
