It came moments after he'd assured Helena he'd 'binned off' Angel to focus on their romance.
And
When Yas tried to pull him for a chat afterwards to explain how she felt, Dejon coldly replied: 'Sorry, I'm going to have to decline.'
However he appeared to have a change of heart and was later seen telling her: 'I was just joking, but if you took it offensively I apologise.'

And fans have had enough. Writing on social media, one said: 'Dejon is one of the worst islanders to enter this villa.
'The gaslighting, the manipulation, the deflection, the lack of accountability and the bullying. It's been hard to watch.'
Another said: 'Harry giving googly eyes to Angel in front of Helena is so disrespectful. What is wrong with these men?'
Someone else wrote: 'Harry's the devil you know, Dejon is the devil you don't.'

My awkward moment with ballsy Suranne Jones explains why she, Keeley Hawes & top female stars have ditched the BBC & ITV

AFTER three guys' brains are blown out, another bloke's throat is ripped open with a crowbar before a fifth is despatched by a knife to the eyesocket - all at the hands of a shadowy executioner played, unbelievably, by Keeley Hawes. That's just the first three, breathtaking minutes of her new Prime Video thriller The Assassin, in the latest example of a top British actress shifting to the streamers - and not giving a damn about the fact they forged their careers on the likes of ITV and BBC. Advertisement 6 Suranne Jones at the National Television Awards in 2018 where my question received a frosty response Credit: Getty 6 Suranne in the new Netflix show Hostage, which drops next month Credit: NETFLIX It comes as no surprise to me just how gutsy and determined they are because, as TV Editor, I've met virtually all of them while reporting on hundreds of dramas over the years - one particular brush with one of these ballsy a-listers is still burned in my memory. Standing on a stage with around 100 people watching on she said: "Because I'd have to ask him what he got paid and I just can't do that." Advertisement Without realising it I impulsively flashed her an expression which said: "Well, you probably could, couldn't you?" And Suranne could have just left the little interaction there. Except - and I absolutely love her for this - she didn't. Frightened dormouse "Well, you pull a face," she snapped back, with the brassiness of her former Corrie character Karen McDonald, "but I just can't can I?" At that point the whole room went quiet, she fixed me with a glare, I stared back like a frightened dormouse and the whole room - including her husband Laurence Akers - glared at me for what felt like an hour (it was probably about ten seconds.) Only one of Keeley's knives in the eyeballs would have felt less painful. Now, an average star probably wouldn't have publicly hit back at me like that, but then Suranne isn't your average star. Like Advertisement Which is why, just like Keeley, she's also about to launch her own drama with a streaming giant. Which is quite a leap from playing a Corrie barmaid on ITV. But it's the same leap, with the same streamer, that's been made by 6 Sarah Lancashire in the hit BBC series Happy Valley Credit: BBC Sarah is another one I've done interviews with where, if you dare ask a stupid question, she'll stop you in your tracks and tell you it's a stupid question. And why shouldn't she? She's Sarah Lancashire. She can do that. It only makes me respect her more. Advertisement The list of daring defectors doesn't stop there. Meanwhile the likes of Sheridan Smith, Katherine Kelly and Gemma Arterton, who've all been increasingly dipping their toes in the streamers' waters. 6 Keeley in ITV's The Durrells Credit: ITV 6 And in her gritty new Amazon Prime role in the drama The Assassin Credit: Prime / TNI Though none of them can quite compare with Advertisement Over the past three years she has made seven dramas, four of which have been for non-terrestrial services. As well as The Assassin there was Scoop on Netflix, Orphan Black: Echoes on US cable channel AMC and Sky's supernatural thriller, The Midwich Cuckoos. Before too long there'll be a tipping point where we'll almost only ever see these hugely popular actresses on the streamers - and there's only one way that the likes of BBC, ITV and Channel 4 can stop the rot. The majority of these household names had their big breaks on the terrestrial channels. But these hugely successful women want control by being made exec producers. They want good money (just like the men). And they want to cherry pick daring shows which will provide them with a global audience. The cash-strapped terrestrials will struggle to give them all of that. For us viewers, there's some comfort in the fact that they won't abandon the holy trinity of TV overnight, and we'll still see them pop up here and there on regular telly for a while longer. Advertisement 6 Suranne fired back when I asked her about equal pay for women stars Credit: GETTY Plus, this isn't a fait accomplis. What the execs at the Beeb and commercial channels do need to do is radically change what roles they offer these stars. They need to quit their obsession with conventional period dramas and route one crime thrillers and turn twee Keeley into a killer, or It isn't just about money (though, admittedly, that does help) it's more about giving these stars roles the chance to spread their wings as producers and as performers. But, based on my experiences of these amazing women, they're going to have to grow some sizable kahunas to do it. Advertisement

Read more on Love Island Megan was then in talks with bosses to appear as a bombshell during All Stars season two but talks fell through after she got into a new relationship. But things turned sour for her earlier this year, with the star announcing she had ended her relationship after fearing for her life. She said she had been a victim of domestic abuse for a third time, accusing her unnamed partner of "coercive control and emotional abuse" and said she had been made to "feel worthless". Writing in an Instagram post, Megan told how she'd given her boyfriend thousands of pounds which she claims was spent on escorts and luxury hotels . Most read in News TV She wrote: "I was shamed for my work and silenced for my success. "And like many others, I confused control for passion, and cruelty for love. I dropped charges I shouldn't have." The statement continued: "It finally ended when I feared for my life simply because I wanted to go paddleboarding with two lovely older women while he was working. "That moment shook me to my core. I'd gone all the way to Scotland to prove my loyalty — and still, I was the enemy in his eyes. I've made excuses in the past, blaming my own high standards or strong will, but this time, I won't. There's no excuse for violence. None." Megan said she hopes other women reading the post in similar situations can find the strength to leave their abusive partners. The media personality also offered to work with women's and domestic abuse charities to champion their work.

Every 30 seconds the police receive a call for help relating to domestic abuse. In December, during an interview with Paul C Brunson, Megan opened up about her harrowing past. She revealed she is a survivor of repeated cases of domestic abuse, including at the hands of an ex boyfriend who viciously assaulted her before threatening to kill her on the side of a motorway. The Essex beauty, who found fame in 2018, fell pregnant years before Love Island by an older lover after he removed his condom without her consent, also known as stealthing. Following a termination, on the journey home from the clinic, Megan, 30, says her partner suddenly 'switched' and became violently abusive. SCARED FOR HER LIFE Continuing her recollection, Megan revealed how her ex threatened to murder her before giving her 'ten seconds to run' to safety. She revealed: 'We're on a motorway, cars are speeding past at 70mph. "I thought, even if I try (to run) it's just going to anger him more because he's definitely going to catch me, so I just stood there frozen ." The star then confessed she did her 'best acting' to persuade the man to 'calm down' before finally dropping her home. But later, the 'nightmare' continued when the boyfriend arrived at Megan's parents' home armed with a crowbar. I thought he'd literally kill me, the way he was. He was acting literally psychotic."

Bravely, Megan later told the police of her ordeal and subsequently testified against her ex in a crown court trial where he was sentenced to a month and a half in prison. 4 Megan was tipped to appear on Love Island All Stars but then talks fell through Credit: Splash 4 Megan recently admitted she had been a victim of domestic abuse for a third time Credit: Splash
