Toni had her head turned by Harrison but he then dumped her for Casa Amor's Lauren before quitting the show.
Toni then rekindled her romance with Cach before going on to win the series and scooping a prize fund of £50k.
The pair have been attached at the hip since leaving the villa but Toni has now revealed that she's leaving the UK very soon.
She admitted that her Visa has come to an end and she'll be heading home to Los Vegas.
A fan asked during a Q&A if she will be staying in the UK, to which Toni replied: "They're not letting me. I'll be in Las Vegas for a week, I don't want to be there at all."
She then turned to Cach and affectionately said: "I'm going to miss this."
They were joined by co-star Jamie Rhodes, who asked if Cach had been to Vegas yet.
Cach replied: "Toni hasn't left my side since coming out of the villa," as the US star echoed: "Cach hasn't left my side since we've left the villa."
But fans fear the couple won't last the distance as they prepare to be separated.
One wrote: "In six months time we are going to see statements of them separating...," while a second added: "Facts."

SPLASHING OUT
Ahead of their show victory, Toni and Cach spoke to former Islanders and Aftersun hosts Indiyah Polack and Amy Hart.
When asked what they'd spend the £50k on, Cash replied: 'I've already got what I want, money's just a bonus.'
And Toni shared exciting holiday plans, adding: 'I'll take my mum on vacation, as well. After ours, of course…'
After weeks of coupling up, dumpings, texts and triangles, the series came to a close with a battle between Toni & Cach, Shakira Khan & Harry Cooksley, Angel Swift & Ty Isherwood and Yasmin Pettet & Jamie Rhodes.
However, it was the show's first American bombshell Toni and dancer Cach who got the most votes from fans after their rollercoaster journey on the show.
Thrilled fans praised the result, with one saying: "I actually feel like I've won the World Cup. This is actually everything to me!"
Just a few weeks ago, Toni split from Cach to rekindle with her old flame Harrison - not knowing he had been intimate with Casa Amor's Lauren.
After just one day, he U-turned yet again - and ended up leaving the villa when Lauren was voted out.
Despite Cach breaking down in tears over the embarrassment of his public split from Toni, he forgave her.
They started up their relationship once again and on their final night in the villa said "I love you".
Before his arrival in the villa, Cach appeared on Are You The One? UK, which aired back in 2022 on MTV.
He was 20 years old at the time and competed under his full name, Cacharel.

Meredith Kercher's family lawyer slams 'disrespectful' Amanda Knox after new series
Amanda Knox has executive-produced a new series based on her life and the aftermath of the 2007 murder of Meredith Kercher, and the British student's family lawyer has hit out Meredith Kercher's family solicitor has delivered a scathing attack on Amanda Knox after the launch of a new series exploring the fallout from the 2007 killing and subsequent trial. The 38 year old has executive-produced K. J. Steinberg's eight-part Hulu series, The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox, which draws heavily from her autobiography. Grace Van Patten portrays Amanda in the drama. Following the programme's New York debut on Tuesday, where the cleared American was pictured beaming on the red carpet beside Monica Lewinsky, Kercher family barrister Francesco Maresca has struck back, telling The Mirror, "The important thing is that Amanda Knox clearly wants this case to continue. "It would be nice and dignified to watch a program or TV show where everything is reconstructed, remembering the life and smile of poor Meredith.", reports the Mirror US. Mr Maresca continued, "Instead, once again, we have to witness an attempt to reshuffle the cards, and where the trailer states, 'Amanda fights tirelessly to prove her innocence and regain her freedom.' Once again, the focus is on Knox." When the programme was initially revealed last year, Meredith's sister, Stephanie, remarked, "It is difficult to understand how this serves any purpose." At the time, Maresca described Amanda's ventures centring on Meredith's killing and the media frenzy that ensued as continuing to be "inappropriate and disrespectful towards the memory of Meredith," alleging the Perugia proceedings had become a means for her to profit from her infamy. "Ms. Knox, after so many years, should respect the silence and memory," he said, as filming took place in the same Italian town where the 21 year old was killed. In November 2007, Leeds University student Meredith was sexually assaulted, before having her throat slashed and stabbed 47 times while studying in Perugia. Meredith's flatmate, Amanda, and her then-boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, were initially found guilty of her murder alongside Rudy Guede. The accusations sparked a media frenzy as she was branded 'Foxy Knoxy' by journalists. The pair were convicted in 2009 but were released following an appeal two years later. Their conviction was restored in 2014 but overturned by Italy's highest court in March 2015. The mum-of-two has since profited from her ordeal by penning a book, producing a Netflix documentary, hosting multiple podcasts, and delivering various speaking engagements, including some in Italy. Despite opposition from Perugia residents and those connected to Meredith, she continued with the series, with Monica Lewinsky serving as executive producer. Their bond began in 2017 at a speaking event two years after Amanda was cleared, and has since evolved into a working relationship. This week, ahead of the 20th August premiere, the Seattle native also discussed explaining the case to her 4 year old daughter, Eureka, telling her: "It's very simple. When Mommy was young, Mommy went to Italy, and she made friends and she had fun, but then someone hurt her friend, and the police thought Mommy hurt her friend, and so they put Mommy in jail. "Mommy was in jail for a long time, and she was very sad. But then one day, Mommy proved that she was innocent, and she got to go home, and then she met your daddy and had you and lived happily ever after." Critics argue the new series and Amanda's ongoing public accounts represent a relentless bid to profit from a tragedy in which she played a peripheral role, rather than genuine soul-searching. Others have questioned whether such programmes serve any function beyond self-promotion, highlighting the ongoing anguish for Meredith's family and the sensationalising of revisiting the extensively covered case. The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox is streaming on Hulu.

OnlyFans tennis star claps back at haters with another raunchy post after US Open match got cancelled
American tennis player and OnlyFans star Sachia Vickery has clapped back at haters with a raunchy post on her Instagram. The 30-year-old, currently ranked No. 559 in the world, has faced backlash from fans after revealing she had joined adult content site OnlyFans earlier this year. For $12.99 a month, subscribers have access to 'the content too spicy for Instagram,' according to Vickery's OnlyFans bio. She also charges men $1,000 to date her. Vickery has since faced harsh criticism from traditional tennis fans, who have brutally torn into her over the decision, but now the American has hit back. Taking to her Instagram story on Wednesday, Vickery shared a video of herself in a bikini with the caption: 'Imagine hating me and I'm in my room like this everyday'. The following post on her Instagram story appeared to promote her OnlyFans page. The American, ranked No. 559, played her first match since February on Tuesday when she beat Anastasiya Soboleva in the first round of US Open qualifying. However, Vickery has discovered more lucrative means of keeping herself busy over the past few months - and they don't require her to swing a racket. Her OnlyFans platform teases her 'longest shower vid yet,' strip teases and 'spicier' pictures, while also asking her fans to rate her 'riding skills' as she shares risque videos and saucy snaps. Vickery has banked just over $2million throughout her 14-year career on the court. Outside of the sport, she demands a $1,000 deposit fee just to date her. 'I no longer date for free due to the behavior of men I now require a pre-date deposit send me 1,000 and we can make it happen my cashapp is $Sachiavick,' she told her 39,4000 followers during an Instagram Q&A session earlier this week. While Vickery's move may have sent ripples through the tennis world, she has no regrets. She previously revealed that she's always seen herself as something of a revolutionary. 'I've always pushed boundaries,' she said on the Black Spin Global podcast earlier this year. 'I've always been outspoken about racial hate I get online, bodyshaming. I'm very open about a lot of stuff. 'I'm still playing tennis, my career is still going but I also want to do things outside of tennis. I'm starting to explore more opportunities on social media.' 'Obviously there are levels to OnlyFans, you have athletes like Nick [Kyrgios] and Alex [Muller] who are going to be posting tennis content for the most part and then you have the other complete extreme, which I'm not. I'm in that middle gap,' she added. 'I set it up in January and it just took off. Being a tennis player definitely helped my marketing. I'm at a stage where I don't do the absolute most on there but I'm comfortable as I need to be. I'm doing really well. 'Obviously, I'm going to get some negative feedback but that's just normal. Whatever you do in life there's always going to be some criticism. If I was doing nothing I'd be getting criticism, so I might as well get on the platform and make money while I'm at it.' Yet as she stepped onto the Grand Slam stage in Flushing Meadows again this week, Vickery once again hit back at her critics. 'I'm very open-minded and I don't care what people think of me … it's also the easiest money I've ever made and I enjoy doing it,' said Vickery when asked about balancing the two entirely different worlds together in an Instagram Q&A session. 'I will never talk s*** about girls on OnlyFans ever again for the rest of my life. Because the amount I made on there in my first two days, I am overwhelmed. I am just shook really.' Vickery, whose father Rawle is a former soccer player and brother Dominque Mitchell played football at South Carolina State, turned professional in 2011 after training with USTA and Mouratoglou Academy in France. But her career peaked back in 2018, when she managed a career-high ranking of World No 73. Now, the Florida native has slumped to No 559, without a single victory to her name. She failed to qualify for the Australian Open in January, stumbling in the third round of qualifying, and skipped Roland Garros and Wimbledon all together. However, she appears to save her best performances for the US Open with her best Grand Slam record coming in New York. She's made the second round of the tournament four times. Vickery is far from the first tennis player to have flirted with an alternate career on the x-rated website to fund their tennis ambitions. The sport's renowned babd boy, Nick Kyrgios, raised eyebrows earlier this year when he signed onto a saucy OnlyFans collaboration after his breakup from longtime girlfriend Costeen Hatzi. Kyrgios, who publicly split from his girlfriend of four years in March, hosted a new reality series for OnlyFans TV alongside adult entertainers Sophie Stonehouse and Rachel Starr in June. Titled Smash City, the series saw OnlyFans creators, including Vickery, battle it out on the pickle ball court to win $20,000. Kyrgios first joined OnlyFans in 2023, revealing in a statement that he wanted fans to see 'all different sides' of him after an injury saw him sidelined from his sport.

Canada's first cat museum coming to Montreal: pop-up exhibit launches next month
Cat lovers, unite! On the heels of the city's neighbourhood cat tours, Montreal will officially be home to Canada's first cat museum: Le Miaousée. Le Miaousée celebrates the role of cats in society while promoting compassion, education, and community action to improve feline welfare. Through pop-up events across Montreal, the organization aims to bring together cat lovers, artists, historians, and rescue organizations to share stories, art, and experiences that strengthen the human-cat connection. A permanent space is planned for 2026, featuring educational and engaging exhibits on feline history, and culture. Le Miaousée was founded by friends Aqeela Nahani and Lynn van der Valk, who met at work five years ago and quickly bonded over a shared love of cats—and a good internet meme. That mutual passion sparked the idea for a space celebrating feline culture and community. Expect a cozy lounge with five (or more!) adoptable rescue cats and a flexible event space for workshops, talks, and community gatherings. A curated cat-themed boutique showcasing locally made art, gifts, and products that support the mission. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Le Miaousée - Montréal Cat Museum (@mtlcatmuseum) When does Le Miaousée open? From September 12 to 28, Le Miaousée will host Miaoutréal: The History of Montreal's Cats at 215 Rue de Castelnau Est—a pop-up exhibit a few blocks from Jarry Park and Jean Talon Market that brings its vision to life. Visitors can explore two immersive rooms of history, art, and rescue stories, designed to evoke the charm of Montreal's iconic back alleys. Highlights include family-friendly activities, a weekend market by Réseau Secours Animal, and a boutique featuring locally made treasures—a purr-fect preview of what's to come when the permanent museum opens in 2026. Where is the Le Miaousée pop-up? The exhibition runs September 12–28 at 215 Rue de Castelnau East, and the venue for the permanent museum (opening in 2026) is yet to be revealed.
