As the pair got to know each other, Connor's lack of relationships raised alarms for Helena and viewers watching. Connor confessed: "To be honest, yeah, I've only had one girlfriend." Helena asked: "How long was that?" Connor replied: "I'd say, like, eight weeks." Helena couldn't resist laughing in his face, then asking: "How did it last eight weeks?" He added: "We were seeing each other for a while, but she was only my girlfriend for eight weeks. "And I think it's been two years since then, and I've grown a lot. So yeah, I feel like I'm kind of a bit ready now." But fans think this is a major red flag and it sparked a frenzy on X (formerly Twitter) as one said: "EIGHT WEEKS?? Oh Connor". Another added: "Only my girlfriend for 8 weeks". Love Island's TWO hunky new bombshells REVEALED A third penned: "Babe that does not count as a relationship #loveisland". Also in the episode, Conor's said he is looking for "someone who is really sure of themselves, ambitious, a bit of a go-getter and good craic. I like dark eyes and I don't mind a dominant woman". When it comes to turn offs, he added: "Being too needy, or needing to do everything together. "I like someone to be independent and do their own thing and then we come together and do our thing." However, Connor broke the show rules before he even entered the villa, after he'd revealed he sought advice from past winner Greg O'Shea. Islanders are forbidden from revealing their involvement in the series before it starts. Fellow Irish rugby player Greg, 30, won series five alongside Amber Gill. Conor shared: "I know Greg through rugby circles so I spoke to him about going on Love Island. "He just said 'be yourself, it's a really really really cool experience that not many people get. "So enjoy it and yeah take it day by day and if you can be yourself you can't really go too far wrong'. "So that's my plan. He was like 'my advice might be a bit different from others because I won'." He added: "I'm 25 and I've only had one relationship and it wasn't very long. "So I feel like I'm maybe doing something wrong or maybe I'm not in the right places. "So, hopefully this is the right place, and it should be, you know, because you're in a lovely villa surrounded by beautiful people, so I'm hoping that this is the one." 5 Connor is currently coupled up with blonde beauty Helena Credit: ITV 5 Conor's said he is looking for "someone who is really sure of themselves, ambitious, a bit of a go-getter and good craic" Credit: ITV

Loose Women star on 'worst thing' about ITV chat show - branding it 'ludicrous'
Carol McGiffin was one of Loose Women's original panellists, having first appeared on the series in 2000 before she quit in 2023 after she claimed she was 'unhappy' with her contract Loose Women's Carol McGiffin has lifted the lid on what she says was the worst part of working on the ITV talk show. The no-nonsense presenter, 65, was one of the show's original panellists, having first appeared on the series in 2000 before she left in 2023 after she claimed she was 'unhappy' with her contract. Carol, who was once married to TFI star, Chris Evans, was part of the Loose Women line-up for 20 years, on and off, and has now said that the show's 'strict dress' code left her 'exhausted'. Claiming show bosses had "ludicrous policies" for the ladies, she said: "I did Loose Women for almost 20 years and the mandated dress codes used to exhaust me." Speaking to Best magazine, she continued: "We went from wearing our own clothes to being bought stuff to adhere to ludicrous wardrobe policies like, 'No arms on show,' presumably because our ageing biceps were morphing into bingo wings, which the (male) boss at the time had decided were offensive. "Another female (!) boss once ordered all the women to wear high heels as well. I always loathed being 'dressed' or 'styled' as they preferred to call it." Carol also blasted ITV for getting rid of outfits that had "mostly" only been worn once by the presenters. She said: "You always had to be co-ordinated up to the eyeballs in nice slacks, wrap dresses or boiler suits. "It used to make me shudder, nearly as much as the insane amount of waste on unimaginable amounts of clothes that had mostly only been worn once." Carol first joined Loose Women in 2000 and remained on the show until 2013, and returned in 2018. Five years later she left the panel, claiming she was left 'upset' after being 'forced' into the decision due to being unhappy with her contract, which she claimed was "totally unjust and unworkable". Prior to Carol's departure, a disagreement is said to have broken out between the presenter and bosses at ITV over free speech and expression. During an interview with TNT talk radio, Carol said: "I always look back at when I started working in television and radio as the good old days because they were much less policed, I suppose. Much less restricted and it was a freer place to be. "When I look back at the old Loose Womens I used to do from 2000 all the way until I left in 2013, they're completely different. There is so much offence. People take so much offence at so much and they never used to." Tensions reportedly began to grow between Carol and her employer over comments she made in suggestion that the news organisation had been 'brainwashing' the public over the risks of coronavirus. The panellist also suggested that Matt Hancock attempted to import Covid patients to the UK from France to fill empty hospital beds as the pandemic was in full swing. In 2023, Carol confirmed that she would be parting ways with the ITV show after a two-month absence and insisted she was "upset" to leave.
