She has even been accused of telling Tak she "wished he died" after he had a minor prang in his car. In a lengthly statement on Instagram, Tak has broken his silence on the situation which he says occurred after he spent one night with her. read more on love island He told his fans: "First I would love to say thank you for the love and support I've received, really appreciate the ones who reached out to check in on me and make sure I'm doing okay. "I'm not going to feed into this behaviour, the people who know me know that I'm not capable of such things. "All of this will be dealt with accordingly and by the proper authorities as she has made some pretty serious and false allegations. "Harassment, bullying, public safety and defamation of character are serious offences and should not be taken lightly. Most read in Love Island "And to all the people that enable this behaviour making fake accounts to give her false information and formulate scenarios that never occurred, it's worth taking a long look in the mirror before contributing to the defamation of someone's character." Tak appeared in the 2022 series of Love Island Australia. Love Island UK left looking tame as Aussie contestants boast about 'pounding' on the show Before entering the villa, he spoke proudly of his "strong morals". He lasted 22 days on the show. Now working as a rapper and model, Tak is believed to have hooked up with the female influencer on Hinge for a date last week. The woman later posted a video on social media claiming he had been speaking to other women behind her back. "I am crashing out because a man has been deceiving me and about 500 other women," she ranted. The influencer, who is also Australian, also made a string of other allegations before they were delated. Fans have been left shocked by the situation and have given their opinions on Reddit. One said: "This is all because he met her 3 days ago. She's already obsessed with him when he only spoke to her as a general and didn't promise her kids, marriage etc. crazy." Another added: "I feel like this level of crashout would be warranted to some extent if they were in a committed relationship, but based on what he said it sounds like she's the only person he's met off hinge." And a third said: "Idgaf [I don't give a f***] about hook ups btw but agree he's allowed to say he's not keen to continue things with her without her losing her mind like this. Hopefully the police help him." 4 Tak appeared on Love Island Australia in 2022 Credit: Nine 4 The former security guard is said to have met the woman on Hinge Credit: Instagram

Watch: Hungry elephant causes chaos in shop snack raid
A hungry elephant raided a shop in Thailand looking for snacks. We've all been there before: feeling peckish while watching TV and realising that there were no snacks in the pantry, meaning you have to throw the Crocs into sports mode and head to the shop. However, one shop in Thailand got a bit more than they bargained for when an elephant got the munchies and headed inside, looking for some snacks. @nbcnews An #elephant caused chaos in a grocery store in #Thailand when it walked in and began to help itself to snacks. ♬ original sound – nbcnews The huge male elephant, named Plai Biang Lek, briefly stopped in front of the shop near the Khao Yai National Park, before deciding to head in, calmly stopping in front of the till and chomping away at the snacks. The elephant was unfazed by the nearby park workers who were trying to get him out, eventually leaving with a bag of snacks in his trunk. Miraculously, no one was injured when the elephant came in, and there was no damage to the shop bar a few mud tracks and a little damage to the ceiling. A video of the elephant shopping was posted to social media, with the shop's owner Kamploy Kakaew saying that he ate about nine bags of sweet rice crackers, a sandwich and dried bananas that she had bought that morning. A hungry elephant raided a shop in Thailand looking for snacks. Pic: TikTok Hilariously, the 30-year-old elephant is known to the area, and has entered people's homes looking for food before — with this being the first time he entered a shop looking for food. Danai Sookkanthachat, a volunteer in the park, told AP 'After he left the shop, he went on to open a bedroom window of another house.' Mr Sookkanthachat added that while he was seeing wild elephants from the park have been ransacking kitchens for years, but he has started seeing the elephants going in to more random places in search of food. The elephant has been known to raid homes before, but this is the first time he entered a shop. Pic: TikTok An estimated 4,000 elephants are wild in Thailand, according to the Thai Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation.
