The reality star spoke lovingly about her cat numerous times in the villa, but while she was on the show Miaow Miaow died from cancer, aged 11. 1 Announcing the news on Instagram tonight, Yasmin wrote: "As I've spoken about her on the show I'm sure a lot of you will know I have a cat called miaow miaow who's been by my side for 11 years now. "When I was filming Love Island I had a bad gut feeling something was off and when my mum and sister came into the villa I asked them and still felt like something was off. "Rightfully they didn't tell me because I was still in the villa but after the final I called my sister and she told me that miaow miaow had cancer and died whilst I was away filming Love Island." Yasmin explained she was doing her best to be visible online in the whirlwind aftermath on the show, but it is proving hard.

Call The Midwife star Helen George goes public with new boyfriend Dan Innes at Good Night, Oscar press night - after meeting 'on notorious celebrity dating app'
Helen George and her new boyfriend Dan Innes made their first public appearance as a couple while attending the Good Night, Oscar press night at London's Barbican Theatre on Wednesday evening. The Call the Midwife star, 41, was hand-in-hand with Dan, who is 10 years her senior - as they ventured out in the English capital, four months after confirming the romance. Helen looked incredible in a black lace minidress with a plunging neckline and delicate lace detailing after arriving to watch the new play, which includes former Will & Grace star Sean Hayes among its cast. She elevated her height with a pair of pointed black court heels and toted her essentials in a stud-embellished black clutch. Meanwhile, Dan looked dapper in a grey suit teamed with a light blue shirt as he beamed alongside the actress. The divorced father-of-two looked smitten, unable to take his eyes off Helen as the couple made their way into the venue. Also spotted at the star-studded event were Bruno Tonioli, Edgar Wright, Vanessa Feltz, Simon Callow, Laura Carmichael, and Richard E. Grant. TV favourite Bruno, 69, made a bold statement in a black paisley print shirt, which he wore open for a relaxed look. Actor Richard, 68, opted for a smart-casual style in a black blazer, white shirt, and black pinstripe trousers. Laura, 39, looked effortlessly chic in a flowing black dress with off-the-shoulder straps. Vanessa, 63, turned heads in a vibrant yellow floral lace dress as she smiled for the cameras. Director Edgar, 51, kept it classic in a black three-piece suit as he arrived at the theatre. The newest play to hit Broadway stars Will & Grace alum Sean Hayes, and was written by Doug Wright and directed by Lisa Peterson. The play takes place in 1958, and follows the character and star, Oscar Levant, who appears on a late-night talk show hosted by the character of Jack Paar. According to the official website, the premise follows Oscar, who 'will prove just that when he appears live on national TV in an episode that Paar's audience—and the rest of America—won't soon forget.' Helen's outing comes after she shared loved-up Instagram snaps of the pair earlier this year. The Call The Midwife star confirmed her romance with Dan is going from strength to strength after they spent Easter together. Helen reportedly started dating Dan in January. It is believed they met on celebrity dating app Raya. The pair looked happier than ever as they posed arm in arm for a photo with friends, before sharing several snaps with her children on holiday. She captioned her post: 'A beautiful start to spring. Waters near and far.. from The Thames to Tenerife. Easter moments with friends, family and finally some vitamin D (and Rosé)' Helen shares two daughters, Wren Ivy and Lark, with her ex-partner of seven years, Jack Ashton, whom she split from in 2023. The actress was previously linked with her Call The Midwife co-star Olly Rix, who played her onscreen husband Matthew Aylward. They reportedly grew close following splits from their respective long-term partners. Olly had separated from his make-up artist girlfriend Natasha Fagri, whom he had been dating since 2016. In November 2023, she was snapped leaving Olly's home, which sparked rumours of a growing connection between the pair - but they have since unfollowed each other on Instagram. However, Helen and Olly drifted apart, and after joining Raya in a bid to find love, she is now dating the property marketing agency boss. According to Dan's LinkedIn profile, he has worked in real estate for more than 25 years, and his specialist skill is that 'he sees the bigger property picture - which now activity embraces technology'. Dan split up from the mother of his two children, who are 14 and 12, Kate Wetten, in 2016. They married in 2008.

For the BBC to survive it must radically change its culture… from top to bottom
Beeb's mess WHAT a sorry mess the BBC has now got itself into. Nothing sums up its self-inflicted plight more than deciding to last night broadcast MasterChef featuring Gregg Wallace and John Torode. 1 After some frantic editing, they stripped the show of all 'jokes' — but still managed to put two stars who were sacked in disgrace just two weeks ago on screen 100 times. Little wonder Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy refused to watch. Meanwhile, as we report today, the probe into allegations of a toxic culture at BBC Breakfast is set to be widened. And the furore over the Corporation's broadcasting of an antisemitic rant by the rapper Bob Vylan continues. It's deeply disturbing that Beeb bosses have been unable to convince Ms Nandy the scandal could not be repeated. From Strictly to Huw Edwards, Auntie lurches from one fiasco to another — with angry viewers fobbed off with that tired old excuse about 'lessons being learned'. This matters because licence-fee payers are forced by law to fund the Corporation — and so have little option but to suck up the mayhem and mismanagement. For the BBC to survive, it must radically change its culture….from top to bottom. Sinking plans LABOUR has unveiled a raft of policies this week aimed at stopping the boats. Each shallow gimmick has already quickly unravelled. John Torode sacked by BBC after being accused of using N-word while singing along to Kanye West song Gold Digger How can ministers catch the people-smugglers 'illegally' advertising crossings on social media given they mostly operate from abroad? How will prosecutors identify those committing a 'criminal offence' by causing overcrowding on the dinghies? Is it the first person on the boat . . . or should it be the last? Labour's one-in-one-out deal with France also looks doomed already as migrants can use human rights laws to fight deportation — while the French have power of veto over any swap. Certainly, the migrants — who arrived by the boatload again yesterday — aren't taking any notice. Kinnock knock DESPERATE patients trapped on endless NHS lists are increasingly turning to private healthcare to get treatment. Many are not rich but use hard-earned savings to do so. Former Labour leader Neil Kinnock — on a massive EU pension and no stranger to paying privately himself — now says they should cough up VAT, too.
