Celebs Go Dating viewers spot forgotten Love Island star on E4 show
A forgotten Love Island star has made a surprise appearance on Celebs Go Dating. The Channel 4 series returned to screens on Sunday night, and one celebrities such as Kerry Katona, S Club singer Jon Lee and Celebrity Big Brother's Donna Preston are seen looking for love.
And after the first episode went out towards the end of the weekend, it has become apparent that one former Love Island star who made a shock cameo was none other than Jazmine Nichol. The night club manager, who hails from Newcastle, appeared in the Casa Amor section of the ITV2 dating series back in 2022. She arrived in the villa on day 27 in that series, and was dumped four days later.
But she returned to screens once more and is seen strutting onto the set wearing a black dress and heels as she sat down to chat with Too Hot To Handle's Louis Russell. After revealing to him that she's from Newcastle, he said: "I've been there a couple of times," and she quipped: "Well, you've not seen me."
However, it seems as if things do not go anywhere between the any of them, as Louis recently made a public appearance with his new girlfriend Huda Mustafa and they held hands at a film premiere in Los Angeles. The couple have also developed a following for themselves on TikTok in recent months.
For the first time ever in this series, the celebrities are jetting off to Ibiza to gon dates with who they think is their perfect match. At one point, Louis headed off to the sunny island with Olivia Hawkins, who also found fame on Love Island in series nine and then returned for the second outing of the All Stars spin-off last year.
Meanwhile, fans of Love Island may remember that Jazmine's time on the ITV2 show was short-lived. Andrew Le Page did try to make things work with her before he coupled up with now ex-girlfriend Tasha Ghouri. And even though Andrew and Tasha, who has gone onto a huge television career with Strictly Come Dancing and Celeb SAS, dated for more than a year after the series ended, Jazmine insisted that she had a 'connection' with him.
During an chat with Murad Merali on YouTube, she said: "I did have a connection with someone and that person was Andrew. All the girls knew, from the second we walked in, that he was the one that initially pulled me for a chat." Jazmine claims she and Andrew were "going for chats all the time" prior to the estate agent hooking up with Coco, but Love Island bosses didn't "show in the challenge that I was the only person that he went and kissed."
"He kissed me and Cheyanne [Kerr] and said: 'Yous are my top two'. Coco was never mentioned," Jazmine revealed to the blogger. went on to claim that the other boys told her they wouldn't get to know her because "you're for Andrew", and how everyone around her "painted that i was going to come out with a boyfriend".
After forging a bond with Andrew - who was coupled up with Tasha prior to Casa Amor - Jazmine pulled him for a chat to share her feelings, where he told her he was going to sleep on the day bed but said she was closest to during her time on the show - kissed Andrew when they were out together on the terrace.
"There was no indication of Coco - she was never mentioned," Jazmine said at the time, before recalling how she had opened up to Coco about her feelings for Andrew.

In Flight star Stuart Martin's life off screen with Rivals actress wife
Stuart Martin is back on our screens tonight in the gritty drama In Flight but away from the world of TV, he has a happy family with an actress who starred in Rivals last year Stuart Martin is back on our screens tonight in the gritty drama In Flight. The actor, 39, stars as menacing gang leader Cormac in the new Channel 4 drama, who coerces flight attendant Jo Conran (Katherine Kelly) into using her job to repeatedly struggle drugs, in order to save the life of her son, who is currently behind bars for a murder he claims he did not commit. The TV star has actually been something of a mainstay on screens for well over a decade, having initially played guest roles in shows such as Taggart in 2009 and a handful of episodes of the now-defunct Scottish soap River City. In 2014, he starred as Lannister Soldier in an episode of the HBO series Game of Thrones and then landed the more regular role of PC Tony Forbes in Babylon. From 2017 until 2019, he appeared in all 24 episodes of Jamestown as Silas Sharrow, and then landed what is possibly his most famous role as Detective Inspector William Wellington on Miss Scarlett and the Duke. He played this part from 2020 until 2024, at which point the series continued on without him. On film, he has starred in both instalments of the space opera franchise Rebel Moon alongside the likes of Djimon Hounsou and Sofia Boutella. But away from his life on screen, Stuart is married to actress Lisa McGrillis. They celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary together, and are parents to Josh, eight, as well as four-year-old Cleo. Lisa has also starred in a number of television favourites, having first risen to prominence with her role as Vicki Pearson on the sitcom Hebburn alongside Chris Ramsey. Following that, she achieved further acclaim for her role as Sergeant Rachel Coles on Inspector George Gently, and was seen on the BBC drama series from 2014 until 2017. Since 2022, she has held the main role of Courtney on Avoidance, but last year she starred as Valerie Jones on the smash-hit Disney+ comedy drama that was based on the book by Jilly Cooper and also featured the likes of Emily Atack, Danny Dyer and David Tennant. Lisa met her husband at the National Theatre's bar more than a decade ago, but admitted that she became a 'nervous wreck' when their first child came along. She told The Sunday Post: "I was so busy for the first seven or eight months of my son's life and by the end I was a nervous wreck, so jittery and tired. The two things don't align – family life and filming. I look in the mirror and I've gone from looking like a spring chicken five years ago to a shrivelled old shoe." The couple often wow followers with their social media presence as they attend glamorous showbiz events together. In 2023, when Stuart starred in Rebel Moon, Lisa took to Instagram to write: "What a feast for your eyes, very proud of my action hero husband," and emblazoned her gushing post with several heart emojis. More recently, the couple attended the Mediterrane Film Festival together, and shared a loved-up picture from the red carpet. Lisa captioned that post: "Thank you for the most beautiful evening celebrating film and the rich culture of Malta, what a stunning evening that was." And the post did not go unnoticed by their celebrity friends, as her Rivals co-star Emily Atack wrote: "I can't quite handle how ft you both are," whilst Emmerdale actress Chelsea Halfpenny simply wrote: "Hotties," and left behind a heart emoji to boot. During the COVID-19 lockdowns, Stuart admitted that a lot of work 'suddenly went off the table' as the pandemic took hold but even though he thought it was a 'worrying and upsetting time for everyone' in his industry, but found comfort in being able to spend time with his family. He told the Scotsman at the time: "Usually you're going 'right, up in the morning, got to do this!, and you're distracted. Now, you're really spending that time with each other. And the community stuff that's coming out of it is lovely. There could definitely be a re-set for us all after this." At the same time, he admitted: "I'd have to say my wife and lad. But if I can have another? Actually no, I'm not sure I could live locked in a house for two months with anyone else. Or they could live with me. I'll stick with my lockdowns. I wouldn't inflict that on anyone, alive or dead." In Flight comprises six hour-long episodes, with the first set to air on Channel 4 on Tuesday, 12 August at 9pm. For viewers so taken in by the series, all episodes are available to view on the online streaming service on Tuesday or if episodes will be broadcast weekly on the channel. Alongside Katherine, who is perhaps best known for her portrayal of diamond-in-the-rough Becky Granger on Coronation Street but has starred in a string of dramas since them, Stuart also features alongside Ashley Thomas, also known by his stage name Bashy. He plays will play customs officer Dom Delaney, Jo's ex, in the thrilling drama. Some might recognise Ashley as Jermaine Newton from Top Boy. His acting credits include appearances in Black Mirror, Great Expectations, and The Serpent Queen. Completing the In Flight ensemble are Bronagh Waugh playing Melanie, Harry Cadby as Sonny, Corinna Brown portraying Kayla, and Ambreen Razia in the role of Zara.

Strictly Come Dancing star in hospital after horror during rehearsals
A Strictly Come Dancing star was taken to hospital after suffering a fall during rehearsals for the upcoming series of the BBC show. Strictly Come Dancing professional Nadiya Bychkova was rushed to hospital following a horrific tumble during training sessions. The dancer was rehearsing in north London on Tuesday afternoon when she suffered a painful injury that left her in considerable discomfort. Paramedics were summoned over concerns about her back injury. An insider revealed: "It looked pretty nasty and no-one was taking any chances. The Strictly crew rushed into action and she was stretchered out." A source close to Strictly said: "As a precaution, following a fall during rehearsals, Nadiya was taken to hospital for checks and is receiving full support from medical and welfare teams. Rehearsals continue and the Strictly team are in close contact with Nadiya.", reports the Mirror. A London Ambulance Service spokesperson said: "We were called at 12:37pm on Tuesday 12 August to reports of an incident at Regent's Park Road, NW1. We sent an ambulance crew to the scene and treated one person before taking them to hospital". Nadiya, 35, underwent several hours of medical examinations but it's believed she has now been discharged from hospital. The incident unfolds as fresh Strictly celebrities were revealed yesterday, featuring a YouTube personality, an EastEnders star and a Love Island champion amongst the initial group of participants. Podcast presenter and YouTube personality George Clarke was confirmed as the sixth famous participant. Clarke, also known as George Clarkey, revealed: "Never thought I'd say this ... but I'm doing Strictly! Honestly, I've got no idea what I'm doing but I'm excited to get stuck in ... and potentially fall over a fair bit." This follows EastEnders star Balvinder Sopal's announcement as a contestant during a live segment from Albert Square on ITV's Good Morning Britain (GMB). She revealed that "being on Strictly is a dream that I held on to, with no proof that it would ever happen". The remaining celebrities confirmed for the competition include Love Island champion Dani Dyer, Gladiators favourite Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, Doctor Who star Alex Kingston and ex-footballer Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. During her appearance on The One Show following her announcement, Dyer, daughter of actor Danny Dyer, expressed: "It's such a fun magical show - to be asked to do it is such an honour. I just can't wait to be able to wear (the costumes) - it's going to be so much fun." Former Chelsea striker Hasselbaink commented: "I'm a father of only girls and Strictly is a part of our home life - I like the show. Let's have a go." Kingston, who cut short her Italian holiday to chat with presenters Alex Scott and Roman Kemp, quipped: "I was super excited but now I'm terrified." Aikines-Aryeetey, recognised as Nitro on the revamped Gladiators, took part in last year's Strictly Christmas Special and explained his Monday decision to return as "so nice I just had to do it twice". In July, the BBC revealed that two "incredible" new professional dancers, Alexis Warr from the US and Australian Julian Caillon, would be joining the show. Presenters Daly and Winkleman will be back, alongside judges Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke and Shirley Ballas. Strictly is set to return to BBC One and BBC iPlayer this coming September.
