DUMPED Love Island star Martin Entian has made light of his awkward kiss that was "so bad people called Ofcom".

Love Island fans claimed they were "traumatised" by watching the pair crack on together, with Martin asking for permission before going in for the smooch.
He later told her that it was "a good kiss" as they finally broke away.
Now he's been dumped from the villa – and has his phone back – it seems that Martin is determined to make light of the situation.
In a TikTok set to the viral "Jet2 Holiday" sound clip, Martin can be seen awkwardly sipping on a matcha iced latte as it plays out.
He captioned the clip: "Currently reading 'how to kiss for beginners'."
Followers couldn't help but share their thoughts on the kiss once again, with one noting: "Couldn't concentrate on the show properly for like five minutes after it happened," which Martin liked.
Another appreciated him taking the critique on the chin, saying: "You're my new fave for seeing the funny side FAIR PLAY KING".
"If it's any consolation at least you know now," said a third. "I feel like not being told whatsoever but everyone knowing would be worse."
"You being able to joke about this is very attractive," said a fourth.
Sadly Martin and Billykiss's kiss wasn't a sign of a lasting connection, and Martin was dumped from the villa shortly after as a result of the Casa Amor twist.
Furious Love Island stars 'calling Ofcom' after 'most awkward kiss of all time' saying 'I'm traumatised'
With Billykiss choosing Boris instead of him, Martin was left single and therefore dumped from the villa.
Though it probably was for the best given the drama that's played out in the days since.
Viewers are up in arms over the way Harrison has been treating Toni and Lauren – with Harrison coupled with Lauren and, despite reassuring her things were safe, has continued to try and pursue Toni.
But with major twists set to come to light and a brutal dumping on the way, it won't be long until the truth is sure to come to light.

Love Island star Yasmin Pettet is left heartbroken as she reveals her beloved cat Miaow Miaow has died following cancer battle
Love Island finalist Yasmin Pettet has revealed her beloved cat Miaow Miaow has sadly died from cancer. The reality star, 24, often spoke lovingly about her pet during her time in the villa, but heartbreakingly, Miaow Miaow passed away from cancer at the age of 11 while Yasmin was still filming the show. Announcing the news on Instagram on Wednesday evening, 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. She continued: '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. 'I'm trying to be as active as I can be on socials but am taking time for myself to process this heartbreak. She concluded the heartbreaking post: 'RIP to my beautiful baby girl, you were so loved and will always be in my soul.' Yasmin, who came in third place with her partner Jamie Rhodes, 26, returned to social media earlier today to thank fans for their support throughout her journey. She said: 'My love island journey has been crazy to say the least but I really wouldn't have been able to do it without my Jamie, Toni and Shakira. 'I feel so grateful and blessed and can't wait to see what the future holds.' Jamie, who affectionately describes Yasmin as having 'black cat energy', praised her now that they're back home, writing: 'Absolutely smashed it, wouldn't want to do the journey with anyone else.' It comes after ITV released the voting breakdown for the final, confirming it was the closest result in the show's history. In total, Toni and Cach received 33.5% of the vote, with Shakira Khan and Harry Cooksley taking 26.2% - showing the result was a close call. Yasmin and Jamie came third with 22% and Angel Swift and Ty Isherwood placed fourth with 18.3%. Toni and Cach won despite the bookies' odds revealing it was Harry and Shakira in the running to win, just hours ahead of the live final. And fans seemed delighted with the decision as they took to Twitter to wish the couple congratulations. They penned: 'Justice served well done Toni & Cach .. what a gentleman man he is'; 'Congratulations Toni and cach. First American and she won. Iconic moves'; 'a bombshell + a casa boy winning love island - iconic!'; 'Love island didn't disappoint with Cach & Toni winning'; 'Toni was her true authentic self'; 'Amazing winners - hats off to the producers for an elite season of #loveisland'. But it looks like Toni and Cach may be spending even more time together in front of the camera, as ITV are reportedly planning to offer the couple a spin-off show chronicling their long-distance relationship, according to The Sun.

Oasis short story inspired by the band ahead of Murrayfield gig
Author Paul Cuddihy As Oasis come to Edinburgh as part of their reunion tour, Paul Cuddihy's short story Married With Children charts a life in parallel with the band and a friendship that can't live forever.

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... My daughter was born on August 29th, 1994, the same day that Definitely Maybe was released. It was Martin who informed me when I phoned to tell him my news. 'Have you listened to it yet?' 'I've been a bit tied up here, Martin.' Oasis on tour in Cardiff 'It's incredible. You'll love it.' I stared at the stack of coins on top of the phone. I still had plenty of people to call after Martin, who was now giving me a track by track review of the album. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'They're both doing well,' I said, cutting across his description of Cigarettes and Alcohol. 'Who is?' 'Lauren and the baby.' 'Oh right. Great. That's great.' 'She's called Erin.' 'Who is?' 'The baby. My daughter. Erin.' 'Cool name.' 'Thanks.' There was a pause, a moment of silence where it felt our paths were about to diverge. I didn't think that at the time, though. Only much later. 'We'll have to wet the baby's head,' Martin said. 'I'll need to see how long they're keeping Lauren in for. It was a C-section she had.' 'I've no idea what that means, mate.' I started to explain but realised it would just be a jumble of words he'd instantly forget. 'I'll call you later,' I said. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'No problem… and if you get a chance, have a listen to that album.' 'Definitely.' 'Maybe!' he said, gleefully accepting the punchline set-up. I fed more coins into the phone and dialled the number. I'd already called Lauren's parents and they were coming up to visit in the afternoon. My mum answered. 'Hi granny,' I said. 'Oh, Kevin,' she said and started crying. My dad's voice took over, wavering but still able to form words as I told him the news and he fumbled about in search of the right questions to ask, the ones my mum would have instinctively known. 'They're still just babies themselves,' she said through her sobs. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad We were both just nineteen, Lauren and I, so maybe she was right, but it didn't matter anyway. My mum had said she thought students were supposed to be smart when I told her Lauren was pregnant. Lauren was too scared to come with me, which I understood as I had been terrified when we'd told her parents. Her dad glared at me but didn't say anything before walking outside to pace up and down the garden in the rain. Her mum went into the kitchen to put the kettle on, leaving us with an embarrassed silence we didn't know how to fill. Two years later, Oasis were playing at Loch Lomond. Martin was getting tickets for both gigs. I couldn't go. 'Surely you can make one of the nights?' he said. 'Money's a bit tight just now with Lauren off work after having Roisin.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'Don't worry about that. I'll get the tickets. Whatever night suits.' 'And it's not really fair on Lauren, leaving her on her own with the kids.' 'It's only one night.' 'I know, but…' 'I'll speak to her if you want. I'm sure she won't mind.' 'No.' It wasn't just about the money, although there was the ticket and the travel and the booze, and I'd feel guilty about spending it. I wasn't a charity case either. I knew Lauren wouldn't mind. If I mentioned it to her, she'd tell me to go. The truth was, I didn't want to. I wanted to come home from work and hold my baby daughter, still almost fresh out of the wrapper, as Erin clambered up on to the couch, kissing and cuddling her sister while I cautioned her to be gentle. I didn't know how to explain that to Martin. 'Sorry, mate,' I said. 'You don't know what you're missing.' I finished the song and propped my guitar against the side of the chair. 'Does that sound okay?' 'What's a wonderwall anyway?' asked Lauren. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad I started laughing, and Roisin did, too, just as she copied everything we said or did. I'd already been warned on countless occasions about swearing in front of her. Erin didn't glance up from the book she was reading. 'What's so funny?' said Lauren. 'It's a line from a song. The one that Travis sing.' 'I thought that was about the rain.' 'No, that's a different song. This one's called Writing To Reach You and it's got that line in it about a wonderwall.' 'So what is it then?' 'It's just a word.' 'Is it a real word?' 'I don't know.' 'It doesn't sound real to me.' 'Well, neither does supercalifragilisticexpialidocious but you sing that all the time to the girls.' Lauren shrugged, her hands caressing the large bump that would soon become another daughter. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'Mummy, sing it. Sing the fragidocious song,' Roisin said, tugging at Lauren's skirt. I loved and hated Wonderwall in equal measure. No, that's not true. It was my favourite Oasis song. When I first heard it on the radio, I couldn't believe how good it sounded and hoped the DJ felt the same, so much so that he might immediately play it again. He didn't. It made me want to pick up a guitar. I knew I was too old and too married with children to become a rock star, but learning a few chords meant I could start a singsong at a party. In this case, it was Martin's engagement party, and he'd asked me to play a few songs with him. I would be Noel to his Liam, with him taking centre-stage, which was fine by me since it was his night – along with Katie, his fiancée, of course – and Oasis were his band much more than they were mine. And even though I loved the song, it also reminded me of the Oasis gig that Martin finally managed to drag me along to in December 1997, with the aid of a free ticket and some coaxing from Lauren. It was an early Christmas present slipped into a card that she got Erin to give me, knowing I was less likely to say anything in front of our daughter. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'I don't want to hear any moaning. You're going with Martin and that's it. Merry Christmas.' It was after they had finished Wonderwall that the band stormed off stage, claiming one of them had been hit with a bottle. 'More like a feather,' I said on the bus home. Martin wasn't so bothered. He had a ticket for their second Glasgow gig the following night, but this was my first experience of seeing the band, and it had lasted all of about fifty minutes. 'See after that farce, I'd close the curtains if Oasis were playing in my back garden,' I said. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The house was filled with the noise of teenage girls, speaking in a language I didn't understand and at a pitch that made me worried my ears might start bleeding. It was Erin's birthday. Fifteen years gone in the blink of an eye. There were six of them heading to the local Italian restaurant. I had booked the table and was the taxi service, but we wouldn't be there. It was a brief taste of independence and impending adulthood for them, although I was picking up the bill as well. Then it was back to our house to disrupt the peace again. Roisin wasn't bothered about not being invited – we'd enjoyed a family celebration the night before – but Anna sulked because she was only nine and idolised her oldest sister. She'd already invited herself into Erin's bedroom when the party girls returned home. 'Did you see they've split up,' Lauren said as I waited at the foot of the stairs for the stampede of teenagers. 'So I heard.' 'It's really sad.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'I know, but I don't think they were getting on for a while, so maybe it's for the best.' 'It's still sad, though.' 'These things happen… and they'll probably get back together again at some point anyway.' 'Do you think so? Katie seems pretty adamant.' 'What about?' 'The split.' 'But they're brothers, so I'm sure they'll kiss and make up.' 'What are you talking about?' 'Oasis splitting up. What are you talking about?' 'Katie and Martin.' 'They're splitting up?' 'Yes!' 'How do you know that?' 'Katie put a post out on Facebook about it.' I sent Martin a text message. It had been a while since we'd spoken or met up, and it was easier just to type 'Hope you're doing okay' than call him. I hoped his reply might be a song lyric and tried to guess what he'd choose. Would he not be looking back in anger, or was it getting better, man! Maybe I could tell him to stop crying his heart out and he'd tell me he was feeling supersonic. 'Fine, thanks', he eventually replied a couple of hours later. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad However, the years which had drifted by were instantly forgotten, the distance between us contracting too, as we slipped back into the easy rhythm of friendship as if it had only been the previous week we'd got together. We sat in my back garden now, jackets on and wearing woolly hats. We were too old for bucket hats, I said. I nursed a half-drunk pint of Guinness while Martin stared at his full glass while taking frequent sips of the water Lauren had brought out for him. She hugged him gently, as if she was worried she might break him. 'I'll leave you two boys alone,' she said. 'No, grab a seat and sit with us,' Martin said. She didn't protest or insist on heading back into the house. The small speaker sat on the table and I linked it to my phone via Bluetooth. 'What do you want to listen to?' I said. 'Let me guess… Oasis!' said Lauren. 'As long as it's not Live Forever.' 'Oh, Martin,' Lauren said. She stretched an arm across the table and he held her hand. Her thumb stroked the back of his hand, soothing him, telling him how she felt, how we both felt. It was my favourite touch, if it was possible to have such a thing. Lauren's hand in mine. Ever since I had held it as we walked through the local park in the midst of our first date. It always just felt right. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'You do realise you two have lasted longer than Oasis,' Martin said. There was no jealousy in his voice, though, not even after two failed marriages and a son who was now an adult he never saw. No one thought we would last. Not our parents, or our friends. Maybe not even us, although there was never any time to stop and think about it, submerged as we were in nappies and bottles and sleep deprivation. Our babies were all grown up now and having babies of their own. When Erin told us she was pregnant, I joked that I was too young to be a granddad, but our tears, Lauren's and mine, were joyful ones. 'I've got two tickets for Murrayfield,' he said. 'I want you to have them.' 'Are they spare ones?' 'No.' Lauren started crying. 'It's fine, Lauren. Don't be sad. Honestly, it's kept me going this past year, the thrill of getting them and then thinking about the gig and trying to guess the set list. I'm sure it'll be amazing' 'But you might still make it,' I said. 'I won't.' 'But how do you know?' 'I just do.' 'I don't know what to say.' 'Say you'll take the tickets.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'I told you before, I'd close the curtains if they were playing in my back garden.' 'You can go with Lauren.' She made a face. 'Take Erin then. It's near when her birthday is.' 'You remember her birthday?' 'She's the same age as Definitely Maybe. How could I forget that?' He closed his eyes as Noel's voice filled the evening air, singing Half The World Away. I could have done the same and let my thoughts drift to wherever they chose to go, but instead I watched Martin. It wasn't that I wanted to commit this image to memory – I preferred to remember a younger and happier face – but I knew there wouldn't be many other chances just to look at him, words of love permanently lodged in my throat because that's not how we ever spoke to each other. 'Remember that time I snogged Caroline Aherne in a Manchester nightclub,' he said. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad We both started laughing. I hadn't been there, of course, another trip to an Oasis gig I missed. 'How could I forget? You mention it every time you hear that song.' 'It's a great song.' 'A great TV show.' 'It was a great kiss, too.'

Love Island star Yasmin suffers heartbreak just days after leaving villa
Love Island star Yasmin found love with now-boyfriend Jamie and they finished third on the ITV2 reality show but she has been dealt with heartbreak just days later Love Island's Yasmin Pettet has been dealt with heartbreak just days after leaving the villa. The reality star, 24, made it to the final of the latest series of the ITV2 reality dating show, and finished in third place with now-boyfriend Jamie Rhodes but just days after the programme drew to a close, she has revealed that her cat Miaow Miaow passed away while she was filming. On Wednesday, she wrote on a black background on her Instagram story: "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." Revealing that her family chose not to tell of her of the tragedy at the time and she was informed by her sister once filming had finished, she added: "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." It comes after Love Island fans fume as third place couple announced as Yas and Jamie. The commercial banking executive assured her fans that she was trying to keep up with her social media as much as possible but also explained to her near-350,000 followers that she needs time to deal with the 'heartbreak' she has had to endure. She added: "I'm trying to be as active as I can on socials, but am taking time for myself to process this heartbreak., RIP to my beautiful baby girl, you were so loved and will always be in my soul." Yasmin's feline friend had been mentioned several times during her time in the Love Island villa, and her fans flooded social media as they sent her their sympathy. Many had been moved to tears by the news, and one admitted: "Yasmin sharing the news that her cat passed away whilst in the villa is actually the most gut-wrenching thing I could imagine and my heart is breaking for her imagine being so excited to see her miaow miaow and her baby isn't there anymore." Clearly shocked at the news after the cat had been a topic of conversation during the Meet the Family segment on the show, one said: "I'm crying cos she straight away asked her mum and sister how Miaow miaow was when they visited the villa and they had to lieeeeeeeee," whilst another viewer said: "Nooo Yasmins cat Miaow Miaow died while she was in the villa and she was talking about how excited she was for Jamie to meet her." Another fan wrote: "Not the icon miaow miaow passing away. It was Yasmin's cat from love island that died while she was in the villa." Despite the sad news, Yasmin's first post upon exiting the villa spoke of her positive experience on the show, and she thanked some of her co-stars throughout her time in the competition. She wrote: "My love island journey has been crazy to say the least but I really wouldn't have been able to do it without my Jamie, Toni and Shakira. I feel so grateful and blessed and can't wait to see what the future holds." When she and her significant other were announced as the third place couple, were not overly impressed that they had finished behind Harry and Shakira before Cach and Toni claimed the £50,000 prize. One user said on X/ Twitter: "Not my winners third," while another person: "Harry sneaking to top 2 over yas and jamie someone hand me a gun." One disappointed fan commented: "I'm lowkey shocked yas and jamie are 3rd." "Yas and Jamie 3rd place???? Can the UK do anything right," one said and one posted: "I wasn't expecting yas and jamie as 3rd actually." Meanwhile, Angel and Ty were announced as the fourth place couple. The two are now 'exclusive', with Ty said: "It's definitely going in the right direction," before adding he was looking forward to the outside world with her.
