"I mean, it's a really big one, 52 and all," Alison jested as Dermot chimed in with: "Lovely thing is, you're just right behind me."

Love Island fans fuming as favourite brutally dumped from villa in unfair twist
A Love Island favourite was dumped from the villa during tonight's episode in yet another brutal twist - but fans have been left fuming the bombshell had been sent packing early This year's Love Island is one of the most brutal series yet - with twists coming left right and centre. Tonight another shock twist saw the third dumping of the series following a savage twist. Last night, fans watched on as the Islanders engaged in yet another recoupling, where the power was in the hands of the boys. Bombshells Toni and Malisha were left single and were told their fate would be in the hands of new bombshell Harrison. They both headed out for a date with the 22-year-old bombshell, but he was only able to pick one to return. In tonight's episode it was revealed that Harrison decided to bring Toni back - meaning Malisha was sent packing. However, fans had branded the twist "unfair" as Harrison and Toni had common ground in the fact that they both lived in America. Toni is currently residing in Las Vegas, while Harrison, from Derby, lives in Miami. That's not all - the two also shared a connection as they discovered that they attended the same colleague in the States. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan penned: "TONI AND HARRISON ARE FROM THE SAME AREA AS WELL? THIS IS SO F******G UNFAIR AND IM SO PISSED #loveisland," as another penned: "This is so unfair he will obviously choose Toni." Fans were left gutted when they realised Malisha had been dumped as Harrison walked in with Toni. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan penned: "Malisha deserved better!! #LoveIsland". Another echoed: "MY MALISHA DESERVED TO STAY #loveisland," while a third disappointed fan said: "I need Toni to stay, but also Malisha doesn't deserve to go home. A fourth called on the producers to bring the star back, writing: "They need to bring Malisha back!!" Malisha's shock exit comes just days after her arrival. She arrived alongside bombshells Emily and Yasmin, as they gate crashed the boys' night, unaware that the girls were watching. She chose to go on a date with Dejon, which Meg wasn't best pleased with. The pair continued to have some heated conversations in the villa, and at one point it looked like Dejon's head could be turned. However, he chose to stick in his original couple, as last night he said he wanted to couple up with "my Meg" as the Islanders gathered around the firepit.

Sabrina Carpenter considers new concert rule that would ‘piss off fans'
Sabrina Carpenter is considering a new rule for her concerts that she knows will 'piss off' fans. As the 26-year-old singer gears up to release her provocative new album Man's Best Friend, she's not just fending off backlash over the racy cover art, she's also weighing making a major change at her shows. The Espresso hitmaker recently sparked intense online debate after unveiling the artwork for Man's Best Friend, out August 29. In one of the images shared to Instagram, Carpenter kneels in a black minidress and heels, lifting a hand toward a man's trouser leg as he looms above her, gripping a fistful of her hair. A second image zooms in on a dog collar bearing the album's title. The photos split fans, with some hailing the bold visuals and tongue-in-cheek satire, while others called them 'disturbing' and 'uncomfortable.' Now, as speculation swirls that her sharp new single Manchild may be aimed at ex-boyfriend Barry Keoghan, Carpenter is contemplating another headline-grabbing move: banning phones at her shows. 'This will honestly piss off my fans, but absolutely,' she said of the idea of requiring phones to be locked in pouches, a tactic used by artists like Bob Dylan, Adele, and Madonna to help fans stay more present at concerts. 'Because I went to see Silk Sonic in Vegas, and they locked my phone. I've never had a better experience at a concert. I genuinely felt like I was back in the Seventies' she told Rolling Stone. 'Genuinely felt like I was there. Everyone's singing, dancing, looking at each other, and laughing. It really, really just felt so beautiful.' Carpenter, who came of age during the iPhone era, admits the omnipresence of phones at concerts feels normal but less than ideal. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video 'I can't blame people for wanting to have memories. But depending on how long I want to be touring, and what age I am, girl, take those phones away. You cannot zoom in on my face. Right now, my skin is soft and supple. It's fine. Do not zoom in on me when I'm 80 years old up there.' More Trending Sabrina has had a more tense relationship with her fans than usual recently, as many posted critiques of the new album cover. S She hit back recently after a Twitter user questioned whether she has 'a personality outside of sex'. Without skipping a beat, she quoted the post to add: 'Girl yes and it is goooooood.'

Jeff Brazier recalls son Freddie's 'challenging' diagnosis at age 10
Jeff Brazier has opened up about his son Freddie's ADHD diagnosis, as he spoke to families and those diagnosed with the disorder on The One Show Jeff Brazier made a heartfelt appearance on The One Show this Wednesday, opening up about his personal experiences with ADHD as he met individuals living with the condition. The familiar face from This Morning engaged with families to understand the impact of ADHD on their lives. Nicky Campbell, who found out he had ADHD at the age of around 60, was also featured in the enlightening segment. Before meeting a mother and her ADHD-diagnosed daughter, Jeff shared insights into his own son Freddie's early diagnosis. "My son was diagnosed with ADHD at 10 years old. School was really challenging," Jeff admitted. "But, his diagnosis helped me understand better that he needed support." In a candid conversation with a guest, Jeff reminisced about how someone once described Freddie, now 20, with a memorable analogy. "My son was described, compassionately, as a Ferrari engine in the chassis of a Mini," he chuckled, finding common ground with the guest's experience. Jeff, also dad to 22 year old Bobby, previously discussed Freddie's ADHD when they both took part in Celebrity Race Across the World, reports Wales Online. On the BBC programme, Jeff expressed his unwavering belief in his son's potential: "I couldn't hazard a guess on how Fred's mind works but I know he's going to do something amazing in his lifetime. "We need the pioneers, we need the people that give a completely different opinion. That's what Fred's role is gonna be. And I see it. I've always seen it and I look forward to him realising it, one day it's all gonna click and fall into place." Freddie recently disclosed his Bipolar Disorder diagnosis. In a TikTok video discussing his mental health, the 20 year old shared his epilepsy experiences and offered advice. "Just coming on to say that seizures - or any illness - shouldn't be made a joke or something to laugh about," he advised viewers. Freddie then confessed: "Me myself, I suffer from serious mental health, and I've got ADHD and bipolar. And it's not nice when people want to belittle you or talk down on you because of it."
