Axed Love Island star insists she was ‘robbed' on national TV after controversial exit
A LOVE Island star has claimed she was "robbed" of her chance at finding romance on the ITV2 series. The influencer, 29, spoke out on spin-off show Aftersun after being given the boot on a savage day two twist. 6 6 Former fire breather and dancer Sophie Lee, who was left scarred for life following a terrifying accident, saw her Love Island journey end after Shakira Khan, 22, chose her partner Harry Cooksley, 30, to re-couple up with. She broke her silence on her shock villa departure last week yet, in a chat with Love Island host Maya Jama, 30, on Aftersun, jokingly hinted at some discontent. She joked that her "bed was still warm at home" following her speedy show stint and, as Maya asked if it was a shock, she replied: "I feel like you don't expect anything. "The best outcome is not to attach yourself to anything. "I went in there to enjoy the whole experience, so if anything, everyone was really sad. "And I was like 'why is everyone sad?'." Maya then asked Sophie about the public response towards her and she said: "Yeah, it's been such an overwhelming response of love and support. The influencer previously broke her silence on her two-day villa stint and said of her antics: "I just was myself, fully. My silly, wonderful and little bit cautious (but that's just me) self." She added of former show partner Harry - who stood up to show his interest in Shakira: "As long as he's happy. First person dumped from Love Island revealed "I know for me, what I make of my life is down to me. "I don't regret anything I've done. I did everything that I wanted to do. And summer's not over!" Her speedy show stint was a knock on effect of American Toni's arrival in the Mallorca villa on day one. Yet Sophie has no bad blood with the bombshell arrival. She added of her experience: "It's Love Island - even the people that think they're safe aren't! If you've not mixed and mingled, or you've mixed and mingled too much… all of a sudden you might not have a strong connection and you could leave. 'Basically, you can't be a slow burner and you can't be a fast runner… in this case you've got 24 hours. What are you going to do? 'Toni is SO sweet, though.' Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX. 6 6 6

Who is Love Island 2025 bombshell Malisha Jordan
LOVE Island has been a bombshell bonanza in 2025, with yet another trio of sexy singletons sauntering onto the show on a freaky Friday the 13th. One of the new girls causing palpitations in paradise is Malisha Jordan — here's everything we know about her. 4 4 4 During the instalment of Love Island on Friday, June 13, 2025, as the boys were discussing their current pairings, the girls were less than impressed by what they were hearing. But the surprises didn't stop there — all of a sudden THREE brand new female bombshells dropped on the famous villa. Emily Moran, Malisha Jordan and Yasmin Pettet crashed the boys' party and didn't waste any time getting to know them. When Megan spotted the troublesome trio, she screamed: 'There's three of them!' A stunned Meg exclaimed: 'You're joking!' Harry propositioned the new bombshells: 'Are you coming back with us?' Malisha repled: 'Of course I am!' Yasmin then asked the boys: 'Tell us what your situation is in the villa at the moment?' While the boys filled the bombshell beauties in on their statuses, they were blissfully unaware that everything they said was watched by the girls. And the boys didn't hold back with their responses, making it a Friday the 13th to remember on Love Island … Love Island fans slam Meg for 'trying to be iconic' as she furiously confronts rival and villa descends into chaos Who is Malisha Jordan? Malisha Jordan is a teaching assistant from Broxbourne, Hertfordshire, who entered Love Island 2025 as a bombshell. The 24-year-old has only 15 photos on her Instagram profile — stunning snaps showing her travels abroad from destinations including Italy, Egypt, Dubai and and Marrakesh. As of June 16, 2025, she has just under 3,000 followers on the platform, but that number is sure to rise during her time o the show. Malisha's requirements for a perfect match are rather specific: "A tall, dark, handsome man. He has to be very tall. I'm 5ft7/ 5ft8. I want to be able to wear heels and feel feminine. I want to find a man. Actually, I want to find a husband, that's what I want to find Malisha Jordan "He has to be funny, but not too funny — I have to be the funniest. "I want someone that's caring and a bit loving, but then I like someone that can give me a bit of rude banter. I like to be a bit cheeky." But it doesn't end there, as she continued: "I like nice teeth. "I've said it already, but I really like someone funny. 4 "Someone who's calm, but not too nonchalant. Someone that's really loving and is all about me. "They need to know what they want. I like a determined man who is like 'I want you and I'm coming for you'." On the other end of the spectrum, she has more than one biggest ick: "Bad hygiene and snoring. I'm such an angelic sleeper." And she has no qualms about stealing another Islander's boy: "If I want it, I'm going to get it. I always get what I want. "I'm an only child, so of course I'm going to get what I want. I'm in there for myself. "I want to find a man. Actually, I want to find a husband, that's what I want to find." LOVE ISLAND CONTINUES TONIGHT AT 9PM ON ITV2 AND ITVX.

Sam Thompson was seen departing the Soccer Aid party with sports presenter Jolie Sharpe, following England's loss on Sunday. The charity match at Old Trafford saw rapper Big Zuu score the winning goal at Soccer Aid to handing the World XI a 4-5 win, with a whopping £15M raised for Unicef. And after narrowly avoiding ex Zara McDermott's new man Louis Tomlinson on the pitch, Sam, 32, let his hair down and celebrated the charity game. He and Jolie, 23, - who looked glam in a white ruffled mini skirt and denim jacket - were pictured leaving the hotel entrance. The I'm A Celebrity star cut a casual figure in a dark grey co-ord and white T-shirt, teamed with trendy trainers.

Jolie has her own marketing agency called JGS Live. Her marketing agency is an official partner of TikTok specialising in live selling, has worked with British Airways, Chelsea Football Club and The Economist. Sam and Louis, 33, who played on the English squad reportedly held a 'peace dinner' before the match to 'ease awkwardness' over Louis dating Sam's ex Zara, 28. Despite the loss both appeared in high spirits despite the loss as they and their teammates were greeted with cheers from waiting fans at the hotel. During the game the pair managed to avoid an awkward on pitch run-in amid their tangled love lives. Sam, who had been forced to pull out of playing after he suffered a string of injuries, including a calf injury, after his 260-mile challenge, made a surprise last minute appearance during the final moments of the game. He was called onto the pitch, only after Louis had left, meaning they avoided coming face-to-face in front of the huge crowd. The pair's dinner reportedly took place at Champneys in Tring, Herts with their other teammates in a bid to keep the peace ahead of the big game. A source told The Sun: 'There is no beef between the pair and they're both going to ensure their love lives don't distract from such a big charity spectacle. 'They are fully aware that their every move is being scrutinised and they've broken bread with their teammates, so it'll be smooth sailing on the day.' Instead of playing the game, Sam been helping from the sidelines as a coach after getting injured. Opening up about his injury, he spoke to This Morning hosts Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary. He said: 'I'm still very sore, still got the torn calf, however I am here at Soccer Aid HQ and it does not get better than this. 'We've still got the management team of England, we've got Vicky McClure, Tyson Fury, who's stepping into some new shoes and Harry Redknapp...' He continued: 'But also because I'm not going to be able to run around, you've also got me, part of the management team. Come on baby!' Late last year Sam split with former Love Island star Zara after five years together. It was then revealed in March how Zara had moved on with former One Direction singer Louis.

I'm really looking forward to playing alongside Wayne Rooney, Tyson Fury's the manager. I can't wait'. Pete joked: 'I mean that's gonna be f****** amazing. Make sure you get him on side though because you may need him in your corner in case you fall out with anyone. Not that you will but just in case there's any rivalries or anything. 'You know, you have to train together and it's a lot, you know when you're kind of in close quarters with someone like that. All sorts gets brought up. Anyway...'
