LOVE Island star Yasmin Pettet's mum claimed the final result was fixed - and show bosses have hit back. Yasmin and villa partner Jamie Rhodes placed third in the gripping live finale. 3 Yasmin and Jamie placed third in the Love Island final Credit: ITV 3 Yasmin entered as a bombshell - and soon became a fan favourite Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 3 Her mum Mitra shared her thoughts on a TikTok livestream Credit: Tiktok Toni Laites and Cach Mercer were announced as the winners of Love Island 2025. During the finale, Yasmin's twin sister Zara and mum Mitra hosted a TikTok livestream. Speaking in the clip, Mitra said: "What you don't understand is this is not a paid vote. "If it's not a paid vote, you cannot see the results. That means they can say whatever they want. "Do you understand? For you to see the result - a correct result that people vote - you have to pay cash. "Because this is free voting, they decide." Mitra referenced Yasmin and Dejon writing each other's names on their boards during a villa game. The Islanders were asked who they'd couple up with if their actual partner wasn't in the villa. She added: "I always knew after that episode that Yasmin's not going to win - because of the way they edited it." The Sun has approached ITV for comment. Maya Jama says she 'blacked out' during Love Island final as she praises 'most dramatic series yet' However, ITV have refuted Mitra's claims by releasing the finale's voting percentages. Winners Toni and Cach secured an impressive 33.5% of the audience's support. Shakira and Harry drew a sizeable 26.2% of the votes, while Yas and Jamie were not far behind taking 22% on the nose. Aesthetics practitioner Angel, 26, only made her debut on July 17, but managed to secure an impressive 18.3% of the overall voting audience with Casa Amor boy Ty. As for Yasmin, she entered the villa on Day 5 alongside fellow bombshells Emily and Malisha. She then explored connections with villa boys Shea, Conor, Harry and Ben. Yasmin met Jamie during Casa Amor - and their bond continued into the final. Love Island airs on ITV2 and ITVX.

Ed Sheeran shocks fans with surprise Fleadh Cheoil appearance in Co Wexford as star belts out hits for punters
ED Sheeran made a surprise appearance at the Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann in Wexford today. The star belted out hits including Shape of You in The Sky and The Ground pub, which was packed with punters. 4 Ed performed a number of trad tunes Credit: Mark Surrdige 4 The star was joined by members of Irish bands Biird and Amble Credit: Mark Surrdige 4 Ed played a surprise set at the Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann in Wexford Credit: Instagram/Theskyandtheground Ed, 34, who was joined by members of Irish bands Biird and Amble, also performed a number of trad tunes. Ed's late gran Nancy Mulligan hailed from Gorey, Co Wexford. And the singer used to visit Wexford multiple times a year to spend time with family and friends as a child. Ed told The Louis Theroux Podcast: "We'd spend all of our holidays in Ireland. My first musical experiences were in Ireland. I grew up with trad music in the house.' Caolán Barron, from the Barron family run pub, said: "We're delighted to welcome Wexford-man Ed Sheeran to The Sky & The Ground during The Fleadh Cheoil 2025. "We've the spare room made up for him, and my mother has made him a chicken curry in case he needs feeding and all thanks to our closer partner Guinness for making it possible.' Ed's latest album, 'Play' is set to be released on September 12. It explores new musical ground through collaboration with producers and musicians from around the world. And it is also inspired by Ed's exposure to Indian and Persian musical cultures and his connections to the Irish folk tradition. Speaking about the forthcoming album, Ed said: 'Play was an album that was made as a direct response to the darkest period of my life. Ginger-haired pop megastar Ed Sheeran 'caused earthquake' after thousands of fans jumped to hit songs at packed concert "Coming out of all of that I just wanted to create joy and technicolour, and explore cultures in the countries I was touring. "I made this record all over the world, finished it in Goa, India, and had some of the most fun, explorative creative days of my life. "It's a real rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish, it encapsulates everything that I love about music, and the fun in it, but also where I am in life as a human, a partner, a father." He continued: "Going into this album campaign I said to myself 'I just want everything I do to be fun and playful' - so that's why we are building pubs for folk jams, doing gigs on open top buses and singing in pink cowboy hats on bars. 'SAVOUR THE MOMENTS' "The older I get the more I just want to enjoy things, and savour the moments that are mad and chaotic. "You can preorder 'Play' now, many many more playful things to come before it's out x.'
