Love Island's Shakira calls Harry a 'cockroach' after rollercoaster romance
Love Island only just ended on Monday night, with Toni and Cach coming out on top as winners after a tough few weeks. Shakira and Harry were runners-up and Yas and Jamie came in third place, much to the delight of fans at home who insisted they 'voted for the right people'.
Shakira and Harry had a tumultuous time in the villa, with the two gravitating towards each other before his head was turned by Helena. However, they soon found their way back to each other and quickly became a fan-favourite couple despite his 'bad boy' antics that resulted in many rows.
While he insisted he would gladly move to Burnley to be with the gorgeous star, some fear their romance might already be on the rocks after she shared a snap of Harry as a cockroach. It comes after reports of all the celebrities rumoured to be joining BBC Strictly Come Dancing 2025.
On her Instagram Stories, she re-posted a meme made by Love Island, which featured two cartoon cockroaches with Harrison ad Harry's heads superimposed onto it, with a first prize medal on Harrison and a second place medal on Harry.
The edit comes after Shakira cried about them in an emotional moment in the villa. The moment was shared in the same cockroach post and saw her in tears as she yelled out: "That absolute little ant. Like, he stood up there a f***ing cockroach and cockroach number two's stood next to him," referring to Harry.
Shakira shared the picture of the cockroaches and joked: "Second place suits you." In the original post, which was shared two weeks ago, fans rushed to side with Shakira.
"We are with you Shakira," one person wrote, and another posted: "Toni and Shakira are the best couple in there." One fan commented: "I wish she knew how loved she is on the outside!!!!"
During the live final, host Maya Jama wasted no time in telling runners-up Shakira and Harry what she really thought of their romance.
The presenter gave her true thoughts on the pair, having called out Harry for his behaviour towards Helena and others in a previous episode.
Harry shared his shock though, as Maya admitted this time it felt different between them. Having seen clips of them together for the final week and the final day, she said watching them she could see it was genuine.
She shared: "Well you both look very happy with each other. It's nice to see you two together in the final.
"You both look really... I dunno. The last couple of days I've been watching you like, this is cute. This is cute."

I love my husband but he's terrible in bed, I can't stop cheating on him as it's like I have a housemate, not a husband
The woman insisted she still loves her husband and has no feelings for her fling OH NO I love my husband but he's terrible in bed, I can't stop cheating on him as it's like I have a housemate, not a husband A WOMAN has left people divided after she revealed she can't stop cheating on her husband. Despite being married for 10 years, the woman admitted sex was never a huge part of their relationship, and when they did get down to business it was never great.

"We get along super well, rarely fight, and genuinely enjoy each other's company. It's pretty in the sex department," she confessed. "Neither of us were very experienced when we got married, and everything else was so good we didn't spend much time developing that part of our relationship," she added. Since the couple, now both 31, put more effort into their careers their sex life got even worse and it got to the point they hadn't had sex in two years.

"He swears he's in love with me, not gay (I asked), and not interested in someone else (also asked), but he just has no interest in sex," the woman noted. Although she claimed to genuinely love him, the relationship felt more like best friends and roommates than a romantic partnership, she said. Then, the woman ended up sleeping with a co-worker and couldn't get enough, so went back again and again. She said there was no romantic feelings involved but plenty of physical attraction - and the sex was better than anything she ever imagined. She asked fellow Reddit users what she should do about the situation.

But people didn't give her much sympathy, and one person slammed: "Bullsh*t. You don't love your husband if you can't stop cheating. That is such a bullsh*t thing to say. Leave him so he can find someone better." A second commented: "If you truly love your husband then you can find a way to stop cheating. "I'm not trying to be judgmental but look it from a different perspective. How would you feel if you were terrible at sex and your husband cheated on you?" And another wrote: "Should you have cheated? No. However, I don't think you're a terrible person. "You addressed the issue of your sex life with your husband and he said he just wasn't interested. That's not selfish - you have needs. Sex and intimacy is important in a relationship. "You need to tell him though and do what is best for both of you." Why do people cheat? Four red flags your partner is cheating Private Investigator Aaron Bond from BondRees revealed four warning signs your partner might be cheating. They start to take their phone everywhere with them In close relationships, it's normal to know each other's passwords and use each other's phones, if their phone habits change then they may be hiding something. Aaron says: "If your partner starts changing their passwords, starts taking their phone everywhere with them, even around the house or they become defensive when you ask to use their phone it could be a sign of them not being faithful." "You should also look at how they place their phone down when not in use. If they face the phone with the screen facing down, then they could be hiding something." They start telling you less about their day When partners cheat they can start to avoid you, this could be down to them feeling guilty or because it makes it easier for them to lie to you. "If you feel like your partner has suddenly begun to avoid you and they don't want to do things with you any more or they stop telling you about their day then this is another red flag." "Partners often avoid their spouses or tell them less about their day because cheating can be tough, remembering all of your lies is impossible and it's an easy way to get caught out," says Aaron. Their libido changes Your partner's libido can change for a range of reasons so it may not be a sure sign of cheating but it can be a red flag according to Aaron. Aaron says: "Cheaters often have less sex at home because they are cheating, but on occasions, they may also have more sex at home, this is because they feel guilty and use this increase in sex to hide their cheating. You may also find that your partner will start to introduce new things into your sex life that weren't there before." They become negative towards you Cheaters know that cheating is wrong and to them, it will feel good, this can cause tension and anxiety within themselves which they will need to justify. "To get rid of the tension they feel inside they will try to convince themselves that you are the problem and they will become critical of you out of nowhere. Maybe you haven't walked the dog that day, put the dishes away or read a book to your children before bedtime. A small problem like this can now feel like a big deal and if you experience this your partner could be cheating," warns Aaron. People cheat for a variety of complex and often overlapping reasons— emotional, psychological, situational, or even cultural. Whilst there are many cheating red flags to look out for, the most common reasons for someone cheating are: Unmet emotional needs They feel neglected, unappreciated, or unloved in their current relationship. Cheating can be a way of getting validation, attention or intimacy they feel is currently missing. Opportunity and temptation Sometimes it's less about deep unhappiness and more about acting on impulse, seizing an opportunity, or the lack of self-control and boundaries. Boredom or desire for novelty Long-term relationships can lose excitement, combined with a craving for newness, thrill, or variety. Several men have revealed the real reason they cheated on their partners, and it wasn't because they were bored. Ego and insecurity

Love Island's Meg reignites biggest ever villa feud with sly comments after bullying row
LOVE Island star Meg Moore left fans raging with some sly comments - proving the show's biggest ever divide is still rumbling on. The most recent series of Love Island saw the villa play host the worst ever divide among Islanders, with the girls split into two camps. 3 3 Meg 's team included Helena Ford and Megan Forte Clarke, while finalists Shakira Khan, Yasmin Pettet and Toni Laites kept their distance from the girls. But Meg, 25, also faced fierce competition from the revolving door of latecomers, as boyfriend Dejon Noel-Williams went on a number of dates. Speaking in a new interview with Dejon, 26, Meg was asked about Movie Night and the moment his connection with bombshell Andrada Pop was revealed. She said: ' Movie Night was the worst night in the villa for me. I had a few of the girls on me, and obviously the Andrada situation. 'At the end of the day, we're in Love Island for the experience. People are tested. The past is the past.' And Meg couldn't resist a dig at the ex-Islanders who returned to dump her and Dejon from the villa. She said: 'The girls that had been flirting and been on dates with D, we always knew they were sending us home - and there were quite a few of them up there!' But fans were quick to respond when a clip of the chat was shared on social media. One wrote: "The girls didn't just flirt with Dejon, he flirted back." And another said: "Always blaming then girls and never her man. This is why I don't like Mug." Love Island fans spot Shakira's 'smug' reaction as Meg and Dejon come under fire - did you? The show was previously hit by more than 9,000 Ofcom complaints after furious viewers hit out over the treatment of Shakira Khan in the villa. Meg and Shakira, 22, clashed several times, but it was during a challenge which saw the Islanders share brutal opinions about each other when things came to a head between the girls. After Meg accused Shakira of talking about her and Dejon behind their backs, she fired back: 'I don't know why you keep acting like we're the best of mates in here. "From day one, you were very standoffish with any girl that was posed as a threat.' Meg responded: 'You won't be my friend on the outside.' But Shakira fired back: 'I will never speak to you on the outside. I honestly can't stand you sometimes.' LOVE ISLAND VOTING PERCENTAGES TONI and Cach won the Love Island 2025 final - yet what were the exact voting percentages? Las Vegas waitress Toni Laites and professional dancer Cach Mercer went head-to-head with OG islanders Shakira Khan and Harry Cooksley in a nail-biting finale. However, Toni and Cach were triumphant and won the summer series after surviving a love triangle just two weeks before the final. A results table shared on Love Island's Instagram account this afternoon showed Toni and Cach were the runaway winners on the night, taking over a third of the votes, with 33.5% of viewers backing them for the crown. However, Shakira and Harry drew a sizeable 26.2% of the votes, and Yas and Jamie were not far behind taking 22% on the nose. Aesthetics practitioner Angel, 26, only made her debut on July 17, but managed to secure an impressive 18.3% of the overall voting audience with Casa Amor boy Ty.

Love Island star reveals he nearly QUIT show after feeling ‘lost and confused' by bombshell rows
A LOVE Island star has revealed that nearly quit the show after feeling 'lost and confused' by bombshell rows. Meg and Dejon were brutally dumped from the Love Island villa, when a group of 18 ex-Islanders were brought back to the villa to make their decision. 4 4 Meg and Dejon were an original couple, with the pair having first coupled up on day one of the hit series. The couple had a steady yet rocky time in the villa, with their relationship tested several time when Dejon wanted to get to know other women - and fans had their fair share to say about the romance. Now, the reality star has revealed how he nearly quit the show, after feeling 'lost and confused.' Talking to the Mail, Dejon said: 'As the show went on, I felt very lost. I felt very confused. I wanted to go home, really and truly, many times especially when me and Meg were really good and I knew she was for me and I was 100 per cent sure that we would work on the outside world, I wanted to go home. 'The viewers will have seen me joking around but they won't have seen that I have feelings, I have a lot of feelings, but it's hard for me to show them.' The 26-year-old continued: 'I usually deal with my feelings alone and I would cry alone in my room or by myself but when you're on TV and you're feeling upset and you know the whole nation is watching you but not only that, I'm living with people and there was no place to be by yourself and let things out. 'Harry really helped me with that, Meg, and Helena, she was going through her struggles, and that broke my heart, I had a lot of empathy, and I definitely feel I am a very empathetic person; I can definitely feel other people's pain.' The semi-pro footballer also spoke about his and Meg's negative experience coming out of the villa, revealing why they turned the comments off on their social media. 'I was away for altogether 10 weeks from the beginning to basically the end. I was in a bubble with no phone and not knowing what was happening on the outside world. Watch the moment Maya Jama takes savage swipe at another girl after Meg and Dejon miss out on Love Island final 'The first thing that I did when I got my phone back was speak to my friends and family, but my phone was flooded with backlash and hateful messages. 'It got so bad that me and Meg have both decided to turn the comments off, the messages we have both received are no good for our mental health. 'Everyone is coming for me online. I've had everything, death threats, racist comments, hateful comments, I've had everything you could think of.' After leaving the villa, Meg and Dejon and revealed their plan to 'prove everyone wrong'.

'A lot of the Islanders saw how genuine we were and I have no doubt it will be like that with our families. 'After that, hopefully we can move in together as I can't imagine not living with her.' 4 4
