Love Island announce two new boys as heartbroken star sent home in huge twist
Love Island have announced two new singletons for this series. The new season kicked off on Monday, but this year's singles haven't had the chance to get comfortable in their couples, as ITV producers quickly started sending in bombshells left, right, and centre. The girls were the first to come under fire as American pool party waitress Antonia Laites entered the villa and immediately stole Shakira's man.
This left her vulnerable to being dumped from the island, so she soon had to start chatting up the other girls' partners in a last-ditch attempt to save herself before the next firepit ceremony. However, now it is the men on the show who have had the pressure put on them as two new bombshells have entered the villa and are ready to crack on with their girls, following the devastating dumping of Sophie Lee.
Here is what we know about the new lads...
Shea, 25, from Bristol, said he is looking for someone bubbly, who's got "that spark". Unlike some of the other boys in the villa, this one is not looking to mess around. Shea wants to find a good girl with a "nice personality" to get serious with. It's also very important to him that she will be understanding of the important role his young son plays in his life.
The scaffolder, who admits he spends most mornings in the gym, added: "I am ready again to look for something more serious. I'm 25 now, so I want to be settling down and have someone always by my side."
Although Shea is looking for a wifey, his single days are not far behind him. When asked what he would be the boss of, he didn't hesitate to say "pulling girls". The cheeky gym buff added: "I'm confident to go up and introduce myself and say, 'You look beautiful', to get a conversation flowing."
Essex-based content creator Remell, 24, wants to meet someone who is "bubbly, confident, ambitious and fun". He admitted he easily gets bored of being with the same person, so girls on the island better look out, because his head might be quickly turned.
Remell joked that a film based on his love life up until now would be called "Once a Player, Not Always a Player", adding: "I'm the CEO of flirting. Sometimes it's just unintentional." The self improvement guru also opened up about his high standards, saying he needs a woman who can "stimulate him mentally" and his biggest ick is someone with no ambition or goals. He shared: "If I can't talk to a woman and pick her brain, have some discussion, that's a huge turn off for me as where are we going to be going?"
The two new boys were introduced to the villa moments after the other Islanders were left devastated by Sophie's exit. The motivational speaker from Manchester was axed from the show after Shakira decided to steal her man in order to remain in the villa, so the bombshells have got some cheering up to do.

American 'mind blown' over key difference after visiting Tesco store in UK
American mum Paige Wester, who is now living in England, has gone viral after demonstrating just how different the US and UK are when it comes to certain supermarket items An American mum residing in the UK was left utterly baffled after comparing a Tesco store to supermarkets in the US. Across the pond, you'll find super-sized bottles of milk, an insane range of crisp (or should we say chips?!) flavours - and even entire aisles dedicated to ranch dressing. For us Brits, roaming around a Walmart and stacking up on never-seen-before sweets and chocolates is actually pretty fun, and perhaps it's the same for Americans shopping at Tesco or Sainbsury's for the first-ever time. Paige Wester, who is a mum to a toddler and expecting her second child, recently took to TikTok to reveal one key difference she spotted in supermarkets since arriving in England. And no, it isn't Yorkshire Tea... READ MORE: Martin Lewis MSE names 5 major banks paying bonus over £175 including Nationwide "I will never get over how inexpensive baby items are here," the mum said in the now-viral video. "Let me just show you how cheap baby products actually are." Paige compares a pack of 60 Tesco-owned nappies (which she refers to as diapers) for £6.50, while a more premium band costs £5.50 for a 44-pack. In the US, a 56-pack of Huggies Little Movers nappies at Walmart costs $28.22 (which works out at around £20.71). "Like that is so cheap," she added. "Just a single pack of wipes is 55p." Again, in the US a similar product costs around $3 (£2.22) which is more than four times the price. "Now we're going to go to the baby formula because this will actually blow your mind," Paige said, pointing to a large tub of Kendamil formula. "This brand in America I think is like $35 and here it's £12..." "Now I'm going to show you like toddler snacks, pouches, and all that stuff. I love this Ella's Kitchen brand and for just one pouch it's £1.30. Baby food is just 80p per jar. Let me preface this with the fact that I'm in Tesco right now, which is very similar to an American grocery store - but you can definitely get all of these baby items a lot cheaper somewhere else if you wanted." Lastly, the mum hailed how children's medicine is 'super cheap' in the UK compared to across the pond. "Calpol is only £3.15," she said. "Obviously some of the 'boujier' brands are a little bit more expensive but it's not bad. A baby should not break the bank - period!"

"I just moved here with my British hubby to start a family and just know this was the right decision - it feels so validating," one person hailed. Another agreed, commenting: "As a Brit I honestly almost cried when I ran out of nappies on my last day in the USA and had to buy them," while a third added: "I couldn't believe when I went to Target and saw a tub of Kendamil was $30." However, many viewers rightfully pointed out that average salaries in the US tend to be higher than in the UK. According to reports, the median weekly earnings of the nation's 122.1 million full-time wage and salary workers in the US was $1,118 in the third quarter of 2023. In the UK, this was just £682.

Shocking moment Love Island star Shakira brands new bombshell Yasmin a 't***' as tensions flare while they secretly watch the boys flirt with THREE new girls
The Love Island girls were thrown into a frenzy on Friday night as tensions flared while they watched the boys meet the series' three latest bombshells. After Blu Chegini became the second islander to be dumped from the Majorca villa, the newly-coupled-up boys and single man Shea Mannings were afforded a boys' night away. But after the six lads started discussing their new romances, they were interrupted by three new girls - teaching assistant Malisha, 24, commercial banking executive Yasmin, 24, and insurance development executive Emily, 24. In another major shock, the girls back in the villa were watching exactly what the boys were getting up to on a secret camera for the first time in Love Island history. Unaware the girls were watching on, the bombshells didn't shy away from flirting with the boys, and Yasmin even had some choice words about some of the existing couples - prompting a fuming reaction back in the villa. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Making her opinions clear, Yasmin insisted it was 'bulls***' that American Islander Toni would consider a move to the UK, before saying Ben 'crawled back' to Shakira and criticising Tommy for being 'too comfortable' with Meg. And the girls were unimpressed with her brazen remarks as Shakira shockingly branded her a 't***' while Meg also referred to one of the bombshells as a 'b***h' as tensions flared before they even met the newbies. Making their bombshell arrival, 'serial flirter' Emily sat down herself next to Conor, while Malisha was next to Dejon and Yasmin sat by Tommy as they wasted no time getting to know the boys. 'Tell us what your situation is in the villa at the moment,' Yasmin said. With the lads blissfully ignorant of the fact they are being watched, they didn't hold back with their answers, leaving the ladies back in the villa in shock. As the conversation moved on to Conor, he answered: 'I'm talking to Toni, she's American, I know that's a bit of a thing but she said she'd be happy to come (to Ireland).' Holding nothing back, Yasmin responded: 'Bull****,' much to the dismay of the girls back in the villa. Things went from bad to worse for Toni as Conor later admitted that Emily is exactly his type. The conversation then moved on to Ben, who explained that after a couple of days away from Shakira, they had coupled up once again - with Yasmin cheekily quipping: 'Oh so you went crawling back to her did you?' Moments later, Yasmin turned her attention to Tommy, who is currently coupled up with Irish girl Meg. 'I'm not singling you out when I say this, but do you think you're too comfortable with Meg at the moment?' the 24-year-old asked. The question prompted an angry response from Shakira watching on poolside, who cried: 'You know what, I was all for being nice to the bombshells but she seems like a bit of a t***!' The bombshells' flirty exchange with the lads also saw Dejon and Tommy - who seem happily coupled up - admit the new girls have 'made things interesting' before the three new girls picked a boy each to have a 'private chat' with. Yasmin chose Harry, who has ruffled feathers since entering the villa on day one, with Emily taking Irishman Conor and Malisha choosing Dejon as the episode reached its climax. Before series 12 began on Monday, ITV producers promised the most dramatic series yet. After Sophie Lee became the first islander to be dumped from the villa, new lads Remell and Shea became this series' first male bombshells. Newbie Shea Mannings and Blu Chegini were left single and a shock text revealed that they would have to pick which of them would go home in a show first Remell, who quickly found a spark with Scottish girl Alima, raised eyebrows moments after his arrival as he shockingly admitted to bedding five girls in one night. It came before Blu Chegini became the first boy to be dumped after brutally being voted off by his castmates. He and Shea had been left single after the latest recoupling, with a shock text revealing they would have to pick which of them would go home in a show first. With the pair left fuming, Blu was quick to state, 'I ain't f***ing leaving', with Shea also making it clear he wasn't willing to leave, before they forced their co-stars to make the call. However after giving the vote up to their fellow islanders, Blu ultimately received the fewest votes and left the villa. Love Island next airs on Sunday June 16 at 9pm on ITVX and ITV2. Sophie Lee NAME: Sophie Lee AGE: 29 FROM: Manchester OCCUPATION: Motivational Speaker and Author WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? Someone who is fun, spontaneous, who has a lot of jokes and who is attentive.

Someone who is beautiful on the inside and out, looks after themselves and is healthy CLAIM TO FAME? My dad being an ex-professional footballer. I've met all kinds of famous people through him.

NAME: Megan Moore AGE: 25 FROM: Southampton OCCUPATION: Payroll specialist WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? I'd like to meet someone who is tall, with a nice tan, nice eyes and a nice smile. He needs to have a good fashion sense and a really good, funny personality that I can get on with HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR LOVE LIFE? Bankrupt, right now.

You know when you just look at a guy and they have that Disney prince look to them? That's it WOULD MAYA HIRE YOU FOR YOUR FLIRTING SKILLS? I think she'd hire me because I'm a good flirt. I always ask guys on a night out to guess which country I'm originally from. If they get it right, they can get my number. But they never guess correctly so it works really well if you don't want to give a guy your number. I'm originally from Guinea Bissau. If they're close and I really fancy them, I'll give them my number anyway. NAME: Ben Holbrough AGE: 23 FROM: Gloucester OCCUPATION: Private Hire Taxi driver WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?

That's exactly why I'm here. NAME: Helena Ford AGE: 29 FROM: London OCCUPATION: Cabin Crew WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? Somebody funny or Northern.

I don't mind scrawny, or a bit of a 'dad bod'. I'm 5ft1 so any height really. CLAIM TO FAME? Me and my friends made a Derry Girls TikTok for Halloween and it went a bit viral around Brighton.

Someone who is family oriented, has a lot of love to give and a lot of love to receive. Personality goes a long way. WOULD MAYA HIRE YOU FOR YOUR FLIRTING SKILLS?

NAME: Shakira Khan AGE: 26 FROM: London OCCUPATION: Construction Project Manager WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? Someone who is tall, charming, witty, with big arms, a good smile and just really funny. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR LOVE LIFE? Booming, but they're all frogs. It's a busy love life but I've not found 'the husband', I'm looking for 'the one'. I'm looking for the ring.

I like dark eyes and I don't mind a dominant woman. WOULD MAYA HIRE YOU FOR YOUR FLIRTING SKILLS? Definitely hire. I ask girls if they want to go halves on a baby. It doesn't work, but it gets them laughing. It's an ice-breaker, not a serious question of course! NAME: Toni Laites AGE: 24 FROM: Connecticut OCCUPATION: Las Vegas Pool Cabana Server WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? I'm looking for darker hair, definitely muscular but not too muscular. Super fit. Clean hair cut. Someone that can make me laugh - I'm super outgoing. And someone that's quite active. Maybe one day we could start our own family together. I WANT TO DATE A BRITISH GUY BECAUSE... I've lived in three different states and I'm still single. It's time to try something new! I have some British friends and they're pretty charming. I think all Americans love a good accent. British men are just more polite, with better manners. NAME: Kyle Ashman AGE: 23 FROM: Stafford OCCUPATION: Water operative WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? Someone that's fun, confident and just themselves. WOULD MAYA HIRE YOU FOR YOUR FLIRTING SKILLS? I'd say I'd be hired. I just go with it, find something to compliment a girl on and go from there.

I'm such an angelic sleeper. NAME: Yasmin Pettet AGE: 24 FROM: London OCCUPATION: Commercial Banking Executive WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?

Kerry Katona found love on Celebs Go Dating after heartbreak as age gap shared
Former Atomic Kitten singer Kerry Katona, 44, confirmed her break-up from Ryan Mahoney, 36, in November last year but it's claimed she's now found love again Kerry Katona had reportedly found love on Celebs Go Dating after her split from ex Ryan Mahoney last year. The former Atomic Kitten singer, 44, confirmed her break-up from Ryan, 36, in November last year. He then moved out of their shared house, bringing to an end their six-year romance. After her split, she enjoyed a holiday in Thailand, where she said she had experienced a "real spiritual awakening". She recently said about her single life: "I'm not heartbroken anymore and feel like I know that Ryan wasn't the one for me." And now, it has been reported she has moved on with a personal trainer, Paolo Margaglione. According to reports, Paolo is 33 and "neither of them is bothered by the age-gap" "Kerry looks better than most women half her age at the moment, and is young at heart," a source told The Sun. "Paolo thinks she's super sexy and has told all his mates that he is the lucky one. "Meanwhile, Kerry loves the fact that she has a younger man again." The Mirror have reached out to Kerry's reps for comment. According to his social media page, Paolo is a father of two who works as an online personal trainer. After her holiday in Thailand, Kerry revealed to New Magazine: "I'm now working on creating my own relaxation package here at The Beach Samui Hotel, where people will be able to book a week-long holiday. "I'm a single woman and am in the best relationship of my life, which is with myself. I know people do things like dry January and diets, but I don't drink much anyway and like to work on myself every day, so I'm not into any of that." Earlier in the year, Kerry hinted that the split wasn't just due to a 'breach of trust' as she seemingly revealed there to be more behind their decision. Taking to Instagram, she shared a cryptic video, stating that people shouldn't settle for another individual who makes you "guess where you stand with them." The TikTok clip, originally posted by American date and relationship coach Natalie Bell, hints at relationships being one sided. In the clip, Natalie said: "I hope you never settle for somebody who makes you guess where you stand with them. I hope you find somebody who never makes you question your worth, or wonder if you're asking for too much, and who never makes you feel like they're half in, half out. "I hope you find somebody whose actions are match up with their words. Who makes you feel like love isn't just a guessing game or a battle? You have to continue to fight to be chosen. I hope they not only treasure you when things are going well, and it's easy to love each other. I hope they choose to charter you even when life gets hard. "I hope you get to be with somebody who makes you feel like you're their favourite thing. I hope you never have to sit awake at night overanalysing, overthinking, and ruminating over something that they said."
