Love Island fury as couple are brutally axed from the villa after ‘leaked' video ‘spoils' the result for fans

FANS were left furious that a 'leaked' video correctly revealed who was dumped from the Love Island villa. In Thursday night's episode, an entertaining Talent Show performance from the stars ended on a low when a text reveals: 'Islanders. The public have been voting for their favourite couple.

But fans were disappointed the result was already out there when a viral TikTok showed a clip of the boys filming final week promo scenes outside the Mallorca villa. Blu was notably absent from the video - leading many to assume he had already been kicked out. One fan complained: "I doubt you care but, @ITV & @LoveIsland I'm annoyed that who was getting dumped got leaked earlier today. Grrr!" READ MORE ON LOVE ISLAND In the video, Harry, Dejon, Conor, Cash, Ty and Jamie could be seen strutting down the road as they were surrounded by camera crew.

One wrote: "I mean I knew Blu and Helena were gonna go but thanks for confirming it." Most read in Love Island l media with messages of concern about his supposed "harassment" and insisted they will contact the broadcasting watchdog.

I visited UK's largest Viking festival with fierce battle re-enactments, fire dancing and walking on hot coals

WITH an almighty roar, a war-painted Viking swings an axe above his head and a shield maiden takes the ultimate test of courage – shattering an arrow with her neck. Meanwhile, several people are preparing to march across hot coals to show their allegiance to Odin and the Norse gods.

For the weekend they have shed the shackles of normal life to become Viking warriors. Medical researcher Andy Thurstan, 48, told The Sun: 'I saw the festival online and thought it looked like great fun. One thing led to another and suddenly I'm here in full Viking dress wearing proper Icelandic sheep's wool around my neck. 'It's a nice escape from normal life, and despite the reputation of Northmen, everyone is really friendly.' Advertisement READ MORE ON VIKINGS Welcome to the UK's largest Viking festival, Valhalla, now in its fifth year, which attracts 5,000 people to ­Drummer Down Farm in Basingstoke, Hants, for a weekend of boozing, fight ­training and connecting with the old Norse gods. Andy and pal Ken Hurley, 42, a caterer from Cheshire, have driven down for the 72-hour event, which offers everything from fierce battle reenactments to willow weaving. The pair amble off to get themselves some mead, with wooden axes attached to their backs and swords strapped to their hips. 'The bones are from a KFC we had a few weeks ago' While some attendees used Vinted and the internet to get costumes, other raiders have made them by hand.

The curse of the Herefordshire Hoard - £12m of Viking gold Among the latter camp are Simon Jones and Helen Jones, both 54, who have upped the ante for their third year at the historical extravaganza. Simon, from Bath, said: 'We've made our costumes. Some of the bones Helen is wearing are from a KFC we had a few weeks ago. Can't waste anything! 'Coming here is such a great ­experience. As a kid I used to go to Durdle Door Beach to make massive fires and cook meat. Advertisement 'Here we can do that again with the loveliest people. 'Plus I can wave my axe when I want more ale during the feast.' On Friday, the Vikings were ­welcomed with a special ceremony in the woodlands where all the different Norse gods blessed the festival. As the chanting started and the drums began to beat, the wind picked up suddenly and a Northman dropped to one knee to propose.

Looking forward to the ­evening's festivities are sisters Debbie Burns, 34, and Vicki Hayes, 36, who are wearing hand-made feather headdresses that make them look like ancient priestesses. Mental health worker Debbie, from Battle, East Sussex, told The Sun: 'This is my first time at the festival in this little fantasy world and I'm loving it. 'We've had our runes read and every single stall we've been to is really passionate about the craft they are showcasing or teaching. 'It's a weekend where you can just lose yourself.' Advertisement Support worker Vicki has met up with a friend she made here last year, Portuguese bar worker Adriana Ribeiro, 35. She said: 'It's so lovely that you make friends that you can meet up with year after year and it never feels like any time has passed.' Just behind the ladies, a queue is forming for the To the right, screams ring out as wannabe Vikings hurl an axe at a target with all the strength they can muster. Many miss the target, and those that hit it struggle to throw it hard enough for it to stay embedded. Advertisement But the main attraction for many who have flown or driven to the event is the firewalking session, which trains participants to place their bare feet on hot coals. John Young, 56, is a fifth-generation Northumbria farmer who discovered firewalking at a low point in his life — and claims it helped him heal. Now, as an instructor, he brings the skill to other people to help them overcome their fears. Before being able to walk the ­burning embers, those taking part are taught how to break an arrow by just stepping forward. Advertisement The bolt is placed tip first into the participant's neck, the end held in place with a wooden board. The ­warrior then takes two breaths and on the third steps forward ­causing the arrow to shatter. 'It's a chance to let go of the modern world' Income recovery specialist Chrissie Blomley, 35, from Eastleigh, said: 'I didn't think I'd be able to do it. 'But I told myself 'f*** it' and stepped forward. 'Valhalla has been the best day out I've ever been on. It's so refreshing to see people being themselves. I've made friends for life today.' Advertisement Fellow arrow-breaker Lee Byrne, 52, from Gosport, Hants, said: 'You can feel the pressure from the tip of the arrow in your neck, but snapping it feels amazing when you take that step forward.' Once the bolt has been shattered, it is time to trot over the glowing coals — and many people who walked the fire claimed they barely felt the heat. For those who aren't ready to put their life — or their feet — on the line, they can watch others show off in the battle re-enactments which take place in the main arena. 8 Support worker Vicki, pictured right, has met up with a friend she made last year, Portuguese bar worker Adriana Ribeiro, pictured centre.

We went on what we thought was a normal cruise but were surrounded by swingers trying to have sex with us, it was awful

A WOMAN who thought she was going on a romantic cruise with her partner was left stunned after she realised what was really going on. Robyn-Jay was looking forward to her 10-day cruise, but that excitement quickly faded when she realised many of the holiday makers were swingers. 2 Robyn-Jay and her partner, William, were approached by swingers on the trip Credit: 2 Robyn-Jay said she would never go on a cruise again after her experience Credit: Taking to That's when things began to take a turn and as they decided to sit in a booth and people watch when a man came up to them to ask if they "wanted a third", Robyn-Jay claimed. But the strange encounters didn't end there, as on the second night Robyn-Jay claimed a woman called their room and tried to hook up with the couple, despite having never met them before. According to Robyn-Jay, the woman needed to know their room number, which they didn't share, to be able to call, which made the couple feel uneasy. READ MORE ON CRUISES The pair said they could also hear couples from other rooms on the ship shouting at each other from their balconies. "It's not that they were friends, they were trying to arrange hook ups," she said in the viral video. But it was what allegedly happened next that drew the line for the holidaymaker. She explained that one night she got all dressed up to enjoy some of the entertainment the cruise put on. Most read in Fabulous After finding a quiet place to sit with her partner, Robyn-Jay claimed she noticed a man sat at another tabled was staring at her. "This was something different, this was a whole other level. I felt so uncomfortable in my skin, it really gives you that horrible feeling inside," she said. Terrified sprinting tourists are LEFT BEHIND after cruise ship flees Hawaii tsunami as Brit reveals mad dash to escape That's when the man, who was sat with his wife, allegedly bent down to try and look up Robyn-Jay's skirt. She went on to explain that her partner, William, soon noticed and called the man out on his behaviour before he got up and left with his wife. The holidaymaker went on to claim that she even saw an older man act inappropriately towards a young girl on the ship and he was overly touchy with her. "I just really think [cruises are] a place for a bit of lawlessness and I think people go there knowing that and I honestly dread to think what goes on in the eyes of other people," she said. After sharing her experience, people chimed in to share their experiences on cruise ships, and many thought Robyn-Jay got unlucky. "I've just been on a Marella Cruise and never experienced anything like this," one person said. And a second agreed: "Been on a few cruises - not my experience," they commented on the video. "This could have happened absolutely anywhere, it's not because you were on a cruise. It's also completely common knowledge that cruises are swinger's paradise," someone else wrote. And someone who claimed to work for a cruise company added: "This is a well known thing on some cruise ships. "Unfortunately you have experienced some awful behaviour and some people should understand that not everyone's a swinger. Not all cruise lines behave like this." Pros and cons of going on a cruise ship Whether you're considering a long holiday, working remotely or even living on board a cruise ship for a few months or years, here are the pros and cons from a former cruise shipper. Pros Travel the world, learn and experience new cultures Meet new people Don't have to think or worry about room cleaning, or food Cons Internet connection can be painfully slow and expensive Limited luggage allowance so have to wear the same clothes on rotation Having no control of where the ship would go next and the possibility of visiting the same ports Having the same onboard entertainment, on-demand movies, and little choice of TV channels No fresh newspapers or new books unless someone adds them to the library Relatively the same food week after week unless major menu changes occur seasonally. Occasional rough seas, bad weather and viral outbreaks while inboard.
