Emotions were running high on the night and viewers originally believed she was weeping over her friends' success.
But last night Yasmin revealed her beloved pet cat Miaow Miaow died while she was in the villa and fans think she might have learned the news during the finale.
Yasmin explained she had a gut feeling something wasn't right while she was in the villa.
And her mum, Mitra, and sister, Zara, told her the white lie that "everything was fine" when they visited as part of the the Meet The Parents episode.
But people are now speculating the sad news somehow got to Yasmin before filming wrapped on Monday night.
One wrote on Facebook: "I bet that's why she was crying in the background."
Another said: "Maybe that's why she was crying during the final as well."
The reality star spoke lovingly about her cat numerous times in the villa.
Her partner Jamie even gifted her a ring with a paw on it because he knew she loved her cat so much.
Announcing Miaow Miaow's death, Yasmin wrote on Instagram: "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."
She continued: "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."
Yasmin explained she was doing her best to maintain a visible presence online in light of the news, but it was proving hard.
She said: "I'm trying to be as active as I can be 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 returned to social media yesterday to thank fans for supporting her on the show.
She said: "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."
Jamie, who affectionately describes Yasmin as having 'black cat energy', made his feelings toward her, writing: "Absolutely smashed it, wouldn't want to do the journey with anyone else."
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 approached ITV for comment.
ITV later released the finale's voting percentages, as they do each year.
Winners Toni and Cach secured an impressive 33.5 percent of the audience's support.
Shakira and Harry drew a sizeable 26.2 percent of the votes, while Yas and Jamie were not far behind taking 22 percent.
Aesthetics practitioner Angel, 26, only made her debut on July 17, and managed to secure 18.3 percent of the overall voting audience with Casa Amor boy Ty.

As Vick Hope and Calvin Harris surprise fans with graphic post-labour placenta picture - the celebs who are turning their afterbirth into artwork, pills
recently surprised fans when he shared a very graphic picture of wife Vick Hope's placenta amid their son's birth announcement on Instagram. The British DJ welcomed his first child with his wife, BBC Radio 1 host Vick Hope, 35, on July 20 and the couple announced the arrival of their firstborn, son Micah, on Instagram on Monday. While fans rushed to the comments section to congratulate the pair, two snaps included a graphic photograph of Vick's placenta and another image of it chopped up to be dried and later turned into pills. But Vick is far from the first celebrity to make use of her placenta after giving birth. Although doctors and medical experts generally do not recommend eating it whether raw, cooked, or in pill form - that hasn't stopped many stars. While fans rushed to the comments section to congratulate the pair, two snaps caught people off guard - including a graphic photograph of Vick's placenta and an image of it chopped up to be dried and later turned into pills Kim Kardashian In 2015, Kim Kardashian wrote on her website that she had had the placenta of her second child, son Saint, made into capsules to ward off PND. She said: 'So, I'm really not this holistic person or someone who would have ever considered eating my placenta,' admitted Kim on her website 'And when I say 'eat my placenta,' I mean that I'm having it freeze-dried and made into a pill form – not actually fry it like a steak and eat it (which some people do, BTW).' Millie Mackintosh Mother-of-two Millie Mackintosh previously revealed she had her placenta made into pills and believes it 'did help'. 'I know they're not proven [to have any health benefits] but I've spoken to other mums who've had the same as me – the first time they were very weepy and upset and emotionally up and down, yo-yoing a lot in the first weeks, and they tried the placenta pills and found it helped them to feel more stable,' she told PA. 'I tried it this time – different companies do it, they come and collect [the placenta] straight after birth and it gets air-dried and then made into tablets. 'You can have it made into gummies, you can even put it into skin care! But I have to say, I think it did help.' The former Made In Chelsea star is mother to Sienna, five, and Aurelia, three, with her husband Hugo Taylor. Rochelle Humes Rochelle previously posted an image featuring a framed umbilical cord shaped into the word 'love' alongside a bottle of placenta capsules after she welcomed her daughter Valentina, eight Rochelle previously posted an image featuring a framed umbilical cord shaped into the word 'love' alongside a bottle of placenta capsules after she welcomed her daughter Valentina, eight. Her caption read: 'After being very curious I took the plunge, so excited to feel the so much Danielle @placentaplus.' Along with Valentina, Rochelle and her husband Marvin Humes are also parents to daughter Alaia-Mai, 12, and son Blake, four. Coleen Rooney On 25 January 2016, shortly after giving birth to her third son Kit, Coleen tweeted a snapshot of her placenta capsules and wrote: 'Looking forward to starting my capsules @placentaplus1 …. Thank you xx'. The WAG later discussed eating the capsules with the Daily Mirror and even claimed they helped 'stabilise' her weight after giving birth. 'They had a slightly metallic taste and they definitely made me feel energised,' she said. I felt full of very positive energy and it helped with a number of pregnancy symptoms such as the produce of milk. 'I slept really well and they helped to stabilise my weight after having Kit.' Mandy Moore Mandy Moore had placenta pills made following the birth of her second son Oscar, two. The This is Us actress took to her Instagram Stories and shared a photo of the capsules in a bottle with text reading: 'Made by you for you... filled with your placenta and a whole lot of love'. Mandy also had her placenta encapsulated after the birth of her first son Gus, four. Chrissy Teigen Chrissy Teigen revealed she ate her placenta after welcoming her second child Miles with husband John Legend. While most other stars turned theirs into capsules, Chrissy appears to have simply cooked hers. While being interviewed on CBS This Morning, journalist Rita Braver expressed scepticism about the practice. 'Really? That's not a normal thing? I'm in L.A., it's very normal. They grill it here. You can try some of mine after,' she said. Kourtney Kardashian Kim isn't the only Kardashian sister to try placenta pills as her older sister Kourtney also endorses the practice. After the birth of her third child Reign in 2015, the reality star took to Instagram and told fans the pills had changed her life. ' pills! No joke...I will be sad when my placenta pills run out. They are life changing!' she wrote. Hilary Duff Hilary Duff had a 'natural drug-free' birth when she gave birth to her daughter Banks, six, with her husband Matthew Koma in 2018. During an appearance on Dr. Elliot Berlin's Informed Pregnancy podcast, the actress revealed she had her placenta turned into a smoothie. 'It was the most delightful smoothie I've ever had,' she said. 'I haven't had a smoothie that delightful since I was 10. It was calorie-filled with juice and fruit and everything delicious. Katherine Heigl Katherine Heigl worked with a homeopath throughout her pregnancy with son Joshua, now 8, and has her placenta encapsulated after his birth. Speaking to PEOPLE about it, she said: 'They told me that another mother down the hall had a company that freeze dries pills. 'This guy came, he was a total cowboy: Cowboy hat, cowboy boots … and a bag of placenta! He took it to his wife who freeze-dried it and turned it into pills.'

I played The Traitors Live Experience - there was treachery, back-stabbing and it was absolute chaos
I've lost count of how many times I've been asked if a story I've written is true. 'I don't believe it. Did that really happen? That can't be the full story?' friends will exclaim as they desperately dig for more showbiz gossip. It's a question I find endlessly frustrating. Obviously for legal reasons I couldn't publish a story I know to be inaccurate, but on a moral front - do my friends really think I could lie that easily? As it turns out, they might have a point, as I found out when I played The Traitors Live Experience. The new immersive game mimics the hit BBC show, with a group of up to 14 players tasked with playing either with - or against - each other to make it to the grand final. I wasn't sure what to expect when I signed up for the experience, but as a superfan of the TV show, I had high hopes for what would entail. Luckily, I wasn't let down, with my night blindfolded in a London basement surrounded by strangers, everything I could have hoped for. Prior to the game beginning, the players - in this case, fellow journalists and their plus ones - were given a form to fill out which asked if we would prefer to play as a Traitor or a Faithful. Emboldened by a pre-game cocktail at the venue's aptly named Cloak & Dagger bar, and keen not to leave my fate in the hands of journos from rival publications, I apprehensively stated I would like to be a Traitor. It was then that we were all led down into the basement and into a room that looked just like the famous Round Table on the show. Having taken our seats we were introduced to our host for the evening - a tartan-clad woman with a playful yet steely demeanour that would've made Claudia Winkleman proud. After a brief video message from Claudia herself, the game began and it was time to learn if we were to be Traitors or Faithfuls. The first task was to go around the room, state our names and give one reason why we would make a good Faithful - which resulted in pretty much everyone claiming they were a bad liar. Once we all had a chance to suss out our fellow players it was time to put on our blindfolds and learn our fates - were we to be Traitors or were we to be Faithfuls? Sitting in silence, the host set about circling us like a vulture over a carcass as she tapped the shoulders of the chosen Traitors. With anticipation at an all time high it felt like the selection process went on forever, and I'd begun to concede that I would be playing as a Faithful, until I felt a firm hand on my shoulder. Instantly, a shiver went up my spine and I regretted making my choice - I'm a blabbermouth by nature - I knew I'd end up talking myself into trouble. But there was no time to try and quickly think of tactics because our host informed us that it was time for the Traitors to learn each other's identities. The blindfolds that we had to remove to see each other were in fact chunky goggles, and naively, before putting on the goggles I had removed my glasses and left them on the table. So trying to remove those and retrieve my spectacles in silence, while my fellow players were sat inches away and listening for any sign of movement, proved to be a challenge. I quickly locked eyes with the Traitors in the room - two men. One of whom was the PR who had informed me earlier that evening that he'd played the game before and was murdered in the first round. The other had taken so long to remove his goggles that I didn't initially realise that he was even a Traitor. It wasn't boding well so far. Yet there was no time to dwell on the threat of potential banishment as after all removing our blindfolds and giving each other another once over, it was time to embark on the first mission. I won't give away what we had to do - but there was mass confusion and a lot of trial and error before we finally got it right. Then came time for the first murder. Back on came the bulky goggles before I and my fellow Traitors attempted to take them off quietly and pick who to murder. At this point there were no tactics involved in our choice, so we just went for someone who was in our eyeline to be the sacrificial lamb. Then came the moment I'd been dreading - the first banishment. Still reeling from the murder, the group began to debate who could have been behind it. While I was safe, one of my fellow Traitors had been busted for making too much noise. He was sat far away from me and I didn't want to raise too much suspicion so I didn't defend him. Although I didn't vote for him either. As the votes were cast on whiteboards, it soon became clear he was the hot favourite to be banished and was ousted from the game in a win for the Faithfuls. While I felt bad for him, I was pleased that I'd managed to avoid detection and nobody suspected me. They had, however, suspected the other remaining Traitor. Emboldened, we pressed on with the next tricky challenge, before again deciding who to murder and then who to banish (another innocent Faithful). The cycle continued and I began to get cocky. There had still been no eyes on me and I had even managed to get rid of a Faithful by convincing the others his reaction to a murder was strangely over the top. Ultimately, he was banished for being a nice guy. At one point in the experience there were a few players who needed the toilet and they were led off in a group as the rest of us played on. Knowing the group who nipped out were all Faithful did cause a slight panic - was this part of a tactical game play so they could have a discussion away from the Traitors? Or was it simply the signs of a weak pelvic floor? To this day, I'll never know. But either way, once they returned my luck changed. My plus one at the event - a friend I have known since childhood - suddenly and unprovoked publicly cast her suspicion on me. She had heard me rustling during one of the murders. The jig was up. Before the game began, the host had warned us that while emotions could be heightened during the game, we should be mindful not to take anything personally. Was that warning really necessary I thought? But now I could see why, I felt like I'd been thrown under the bus by my best friend. Yes by all means she was a Faithful and I was a Traitor so we were on opposing sides, but somehow I still felt betrayed - nearly two decades of friendship at risk all because she'd heard me fiddling with my blindfold. Looking back, I can see I was being a tad dramatic. But that really is the nature of the game. Within the two hours of playing you are sucked completely into the experience and suddenly the perfectly pleasant people around you become enemies. Perhaps then, it was the right time for me to be banished. With suspicion on me, I panicked, and as I predicted - I put my foot in it by labouring my protestations of innocence. While there were a handful who still believed me, ultimately my time in the game had come to an end and I was banished from the group. I was still pleased with myself for making it halfway through the game, and high on adrenaline I bizarrely curtsied as I declared I was a Traitor - the spirit of Paul Gorton lives on. Having been banished from the Round Table room, I headed up the stairs to be reunited with the other players who had left the game. While it was a tad awkward to be sitting in a room full of people I had a hand in murdering, I ordered a glass of Pinot and settled in to watch the rest of the game unfold from a TV screen. The remaining players were not just being filmed for our entertainment but also so they could 'communicate' with us. During challenges, the dead and the banished could offer guidance on the challenges by providing them with clues. The game concludes in a different location - a replica of the iconic Traitors' turret - with the final players given one final challenge before voting whether or not to end the game. By this point, all the Traitors had been banished and only the Faithful remained. Yet they were all still paranoid and kept voting out innocent Faithfuls - my friend included - until three players remained and ended the game victorious. While I later congratulated my friend for making it so far, I will admit that part of me was pleased that she didn't win the game. I was clearly still bitter about her voting me out. So, given the rollercoaster of emotions I experienced in the space of just two hours, I can see why the contestants on the show fall to pieces within a day. I enjoyed my time as a Traitor but there's no way I could have kept it up for longer than an hour. Guess I really am a Faithful at heart after all.

Myleene Klass's ex husband hits back after cheating claim and says he's banned from seeing his daughters
MYLEENE Klass' former husband has hit back at the popstar and broadcaster and claimed he's been banned from seeing his kids. It comes after the Hear'say hitmaker, 47, candidly opened up on her former husband Graham Quinn's alleged "cheating" with a fellow celebrity. 6 6 6 During a recent episode of Paul Carrick Brunson 's We Need To Talk podcast, Myleene told how she walked in on her then partner, 51, and another woman unzipping each other's clothes at her birthday party. The Pure and Simple hitmaker — who wouldn't divulge the female's name but said she built her career off a 'family brand' — revealed: 'I walked in on him with a famous person on my birthday on a balcony. It was in my house." Now Graham, with whom she shares two daughters, has clapped back. Pals of the music manager have suggested she is a "vindictive bully." A source told MailOnline: "He thinks she's a bully. "They believe it was especially 'vindictive and calculated' of Myleene to launch the bombshell broadside on what she would have known was the week of Graham's 51st birthday." The Saturdays hitmaker Rochelle Humes recently posted a snap showing Graham on their family holiday to Ibiza. PARENTING CLASH scooped her accolade services to women's health - for have resurfaced. In lines contained in a historic chat with Fathers4Justice, which have only recently resurfaced, the security manager said Myleene had "actively denied" him access to his two kids. Watch the awkward moment feuding stars Myleene Klass and Frankie Bridge come face to face on live TV He suggested he was "banging his head against a brick wall" in his attempts for access. In the piece Graham, who is based in Ibiza, wrote: "I haven't seen my kids in years. "The only exception is when Myleene begrudgingly met me in a car park off the North Circular Road in 2014. "She lowered the window about three inches and I could see the girls in the back. That was it. "I've thrown so much more money at it [trying to see his daughters] and I can't afford much more. "I've spent £20,000 and am probably further away from them now than I've ever been. "It's like banging my head against a brick wall. "I've missed so many birthdays and Christmas days. I'll never get that back." Graham, who married Myleene in 2011 and was with the star until their split in 2013, also opened up on the impact on his mental health. He told how he was depressed "for years" and sought counselling daily. In his piece, he added: "I've tried to get Myleene to see the light, but she's not interested. "She knows how much I love those girls and that it's destroying me, but she doesn't care – she's got them all to herself and loves it. "I don't even know where they live any more. I can't see them and I can't speak to them on the phone. I'm blocked on Twitter and Instagram, so can't see photos of them." Myleene's rep had no comment when approached. CHEAT CLAIMS Graham and Myleene met when he worked as a security guard for Myleene's pop group. They had what was described as a "private, intimate" wedding in Norwich where just 16 family and friends were invited. In the recent podcast, Myleene recently opened up on the infidelity claims. She explained of Graham and the unnamed famous face: "It was my party. "They weren't having sex, but they were unzipping each other. '[They said] 'It's not what you think', but it is what I think. It's the first thing they both said." Talking of her reaction she told MAFS expert Paul: "I kicked everybody out of the party, including his mum and dad. They went back to Ireland. 'And his dad said, 'He doesn't get it from me'. I was like, 'OK'. I just remember that being quite a weird thing to say.' Myleene admitted she struggled to see the woman continuing as normal after the run-in, explaining: 'I've made peace with that situation now. 'But for a long time, it was very difficult to see their life . . . Not that I would wish that on a family. I don't know, I feel conflicted. 'But my life literally just broke apart very, very publicly. 'And their life, they've managed to continue building a family brand on it and it felt so difficult for a long time. This is the person I caught him with.' 6 6 6
