Love Island fans call for Megan to be sent home as they brand her a 'gaslighter' and 'the biggest villain in the villa' as she secretly kisses Conor after leaving Tommy in tears

Love Island viewers have slammed Megan Forte Clarke as 'the biggest villain in that villa' for secretly kissing Conor Phillips, after leaving Tommy Bradley in tears on Tuesday's episode.
The 24-year-old chose to recouple with Tommy, 22, during Monday's instalment, but has continued to explore a romantic connection with fellow Irish native, Conor, 23.
And things came to head on Tuesday night, as she and Tommy became embroiled in a row over her flirtation with Conor that left him crying, while she kissed the rugby player on the terrace.
Things kicked off between Megan and Tommy, after Shakira, 22, spilled the beans to Harry, 30, about what Megan had told her about her developing connection with Conor.
Shakira told the gold trader: 'With Conor there's sexual chemistry there, maybe not with Tommy but it's growing… she [Megan] said maybe if they would've been coupled up from day one it would've been a bit different…'
Harry was quick to relay the information to Tommy, who angrily confronted Conor, saying: 'I just think you've been a little bit disrespectful in how you've gone about it'.
However, Conor hit back: 'I don't need to ask your permission before I go in to ask someone who's single where their heads at.'
Tommy later asked Megan about what Harry had told him, asking: 'Apparently you were saying you've got way more sexual chemistry with Conor and the thought of a recoupling with him made you buzzing?'
But Megan quickly denied the claims and became furious as she accused Tommy of believing Harry's word over her own.
She fumed: 'What? No! There is more sexual tension with Conor because I've not explored anything with him… why the f**k would you believe what Harry said?'
She later raged at Harry, demanding he 'stop getting involved' and the disagreement continued into the nighttime, resulting in Tommy leaving to sleep separately.
Tensions were still high the following morning, with a brokenhearted Tommy admitting he wanted to 'sit in the corner and do nothing all day', before breaking down in tears and being consoled by Ben and Harry.
But far from being moved by Tommy's emotional reaction, Megan claimed that she was less keen on him and took to opportunity to develop her romance with Conor further.
As Tommy watched, the pair headed to the terrace, where Conor cheekily asked: 'If there was a recoupling right now, who would you recouple with?'

Megan shockingly confessed: 'Yesterday it would've been Tommy but I'm raging with him, so today it's you.'
Sneaking a look to check no one could see them, she then urged Conor to kiss her and the pair shared a passionate smooch, which she rated an '11 out of 10'.
Watching the explosive scenes, fans were left fuming at Megan's actions, accusing her of 'gaslighting' Tommy, by downplaying her flirtatious behaviour with Conor and demanding she 'pack her bags and go home'.
Viewers took to social media to slam her as a 'villain' and a 'hypocrite', after she previously criticised other contestants for exploring multiple connections and accused her of using the argument with Tommy as an 'excuse' to pursue Conor.
They raged: 'Megan might actually be one of the biggest gaslighters we've ever seen on love island'; 'not Megan kissing Connor 10 minutes after being told about Tommy crying ☠️'.
'Megan is gaslighting the hell out of Tommy & that's why she's the biggest villain in that villa!! No accountability just blaming others!'; '
'And they say men are always the game players! Started drama with Tommy for an excuse so kissing Connor can be justified get her out'; 'Conor and Megan should couple up so we can kick them out. I'm sick of both of them'.
'Pack your bags Megan I am personally booking your flight back to Ireland'; 'Megan you spent the last 2 weeks preaching about respect and you do Tommy like that after being told he was crying earlier in the day??? WILD'.
'I tried to support my Irish queen but I simply cannot do this anymore, Megan please leave'; 'I hate Megan for making Tommy cry, I hate her more because she's making me side with a man. He deserves so much better, she's treating him like a mug'.
'she's defo using this to push tommy away to get with conor she's such a gaslighter'; 'SO MEGAN HEARS TOMMY HAS BEEN CRYING, SHOWS ABSOLUTELY NO REACTION TO THAT AND THEN GOES AND KISSES CONOR TWICE??'
'Megan's gone for the tactic of picking a fight so she can justify kissing Connor later'; 'didn't megan give s**t to Yasmin for kissing harry in secret and what has she done today ?? Circle of life'.
'Megan really chose the same morning she found out Tommy was crying over her to kiss Connor on the terrace'; 'So Megan pretended to be angry the whole time just to do…THAT?'
'so Megan blatantly gaslit Tommy, picked a fight with him, and then used that as her 'excuse' to go and do what she wanted… WE SEE YOU!!'; 'can both conor and megan just pack their bags and go home already'.
'Megan is truly a villain because how have you got me feeling sorry for TOMMY?!'; 'Megan has attacked other women for exploring, made me feel bad for a man ANDDD gone and kissed Conor. She's really pmo'.
'is this the same Megan that attacked Malisha & Yasmin for exploring connections whilst she's exploring Connor infront of Tommys face??'; 'Megan going to using this as a way and reason to leave Tommy'.
'Watching Tommy get completely gaslighted by Megan'; 'Can't believe Megan has gone from my favourite to least favourite in one episode, she needs to go.'
'Megan trying to flip it on Tommy so that she has a reason to crack on with Connor lol, you ain't slick babe'; 'Hopefully Megan tells Tommy about the kiss as she's so open, honest and respectful'.

True to life or not, F1 movie draws on decades of drama

LONDON, June 25 (Reuters) - The racing scenes in Brad Pitt's new F1 movie are impressively authentic but the filmmakers have also made much of how the sport's past is woven into the plot -- with a hefty slice of Hollywood artistic licence. "We just drew from history. A little this, a little that, then we had Lewis Hamilton keep us straight," commented Pitt at a New York premiere ahead of this week's general release in cinemas. Apple's senior vice-president of services Eddy Cue, a lifelong Formula One fan and Ferrari board member, told reporters after a media screening that "there's not a single event in here... that hasn't happened in a real race." That does not mean, of course, that such events could still happen now or that they served as anything more than inspiration. The Apple Original Films blockbuster -- with scenes shot during grand prix weekends -- is a redemption story, with Pitt playing ageing driver Sonny Hayes on an unlikely comeback alongside a young hotshot at a struggling team. Seven-times world champion Hamilton provided advice and is credited as a co-producer on a movie scripted for audiences unfamiliar with the sport. Pitt's age -- 61 in real life -- has been called out as unrealistic for a driver in the modern era but as Hamilton, 40, said when filming started in 2023: "Brad looks like he's ageing backwards." The oldest current F1 driver is Spaniard Fernando Alonso who will be 44 next month but in the 1950s, when physical demands were less but dangers greater, Philippe Etancelin and Louis Chiron raced at 55. Luigi Fagioli was a winner at 53. F1 comebacks also tend to follow short absences nowadays, one or two years at most, but it was not ever thus. Dutch driver Jan Lammers raced from 1979-82 and was out for more than a decade -- when he won Le Mans and raced at Daytona -- before returning in 1992. Italian Luca Badoer also had 10 years between races before a short-lived comeback in 2009. Drivers have indeed gone from last to first in barely believable circumstances, made winning strategy calls and taken triumphs with unsung teams that would not normally be considered contenders. The 2011 Canadian Grand Prix lasted more than four hours, featured six safety car deployments and was won by Jenson Button who at one point was at the back of the field and had two collisions including one with McLaren teammate Hamilton. Button made five pitstops, plus a drive-through penalty, and picked up a puncture in a race halted for two hours. Hayes' backstory is of racing Ayrton Senna before suffering a crash so violent he was flung from the car still attached to his seat. That is modelled on Northern Ireland's Martin Donnelly who crashed at Jerez in practice for the 1990 Spanish Grand Prix and was left inert in the middle of the track. He survived, miraculously, but there was to be no F1 comeback. Drivers have escaped blazing crashes, Frenchman Romain Grosjean after his car erupted in a fireball at the 2020 Bahrain Grand Prix while Niki Lauda suffered serious burns in a 1976 Nuerburgring crash. The Austrian returned to racing six weeks later. There are nods to the Crashgate scandal, when Brazilian Nelson Piquet Jr crashed deliberately at the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix and triggered a safety car that helped teammate Alonso win. A female technical director? Not yet, but women have run teams and work as strategists, race engineers and pitlane mechanics -- although the movie is far from realistic in that regard. For F1 fans of a certain age there is the 'Easter egg' of a glimpse of the Monza banking in homage to 1966 movie 'Grand Prix'. F1 director Joseph Kosinski said that classic, and Steve McQueen's 1971 movie 'Le Mans', were his touchstones. "Those movies are now almost 60 years old but you can still watch them and still marvel at the cinematography and the feeling of being there," he said. "The whole practical nature of this film was inspired by those classics".

Channing Tatum's girlfriend Inka Williams shares rare couple photo as they enjoy romantic getaway on luxury yacht

Channing Tatum and his girlfriend Inka Williams are enjoying a romantic getaway in Europe. And on Tuesday, the 25-year-old Australian model shared a rare photo of her beau to Instagram as they sailed around on a luxury yacht. In the image, Inka placed her hand on Channing's shoulder while he relaxed on the boat's deck. The Magic Mike star, 45, appeared deep in thought as he looked out at the ocean water. Channing and Inka had kept their budding romance relatively low-key, until the model broke her silence with a sweet Instagram post in April. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The Balinese-raised beauty posted a tribute to celebrate the actor's 45th birthday. 'Happy life to the handsomest, kindest, funniest, stoopidest, most gorgeous human ever,' Inka wrote. 'Merci for making life beautiful and fun. Jtm trop fort,' she added, which is French slang for 'I love you.' Born in Melbourne and raised in Bali, Inka juggles a thriving modelling career with running her own fashion label, She Is I. Reflecting on her upbringing, she told By Charlotte that life on the island shaped her into a 'very compassionate person.' 'I feel so connected to the culture and energy of this island. It's so sacred and deep,' she said. 'I think that's reflected in my day-to-day life and way of living.' She also credited early modelling experiences with helping her 'build resilience and strength.' Channing was first linked to the Australian beauty in January following his split from ex-fiancée Zoë Kravitz in October 2024. The veteran actor was first linked to the Australian beauty in January following his split from ex-fiancee Zoë Kravitz in October 2024 A source told People the couple are 'seeing' each other on romantic terms. 'They met through friends. She's great. She's young, but seems older,' the insider said. 'Channing's doing well. [Inka] makes him happy. He's reuniting with Zoë later this spring for another movie project. 'It shouldn't be too awkward - they ended things on okay terms,' they added. Channing and Zoe, 35, were romantically involved for three years and engaged for one before they called off the wedding at the end of October. The split was a particular shock for the couple, as they had not only gotten engaged, but Channing had been spotted with fresh ink of Zoë's initials on the back of his hand in September The former couple were last pictured together on Channing's Instagram page in a post from September 3, which showed Zoë apparently snoozing on her then-fiancé's shirtless chest as he snapped a selfie of the two.
