Love Island's first couples revealed after twist
Love Island has started with a twist, with the first couples decided in a dating app game and one contestant losing her partner after just a few hours. The ITV show has returned for its summer series, with 12 new singles moving into the villa as they try and find love. It got under way on Monday, 9 June and included the first coupling, but instead of the girls or boys picking based on appearances, host Maya Jama told the girls they would have to choose their first partners based on their dating profiles. 'This year things are slightly different," she said. "You've told me what your type on paper is, but does that match your ideal man in reality?' As the girls lined up by the pool, Jama explained: 'In front of you there are six love hearts and each boy has given me their dating profile which is written on each of these hearts - shall we have a look at what these boys have to offer?' The girls then had to decide who they wanted to couple up based on brief details like each man's name, age and a job, plus a little snippet such as: 'I like to play hard and work harder! I love to play so I work very hard." After reading them all, Jama told them to race to whichever heart they liked the look of, before the men were revealed. So who picked who? Meg and Dejon Meg has been single for over four years, sharing: "I don't date, I don't even know when my last kiss was." However, she didn't seem to be too sure when she first met Dejon, a personal trainer from London. Meg picked Dejon's heart but when she first saw him she admitted she was only "50/50" on whether he was her type. She later explained it was because Dejon had said he liked to party and she thought that sounded as if he wasn't looking to settle down. Dejon, who described himself as "definitely competitive", said that after they cleared that up he was feeling "positive" and was "excited" about what was to come. By night time, they were saying they were "up to 100". Helena and Conor Helena and Conor got off to a rocky start, after she said one thing that gave her the "ick" was rugby and he turned out to be a pro rugby player. The Islander had previously said she been single all her life and that her type was "somebody that can make me laugh", but that she didn't want a rugby player. But when she was beaten to the other hearts she ended up with Conor, who described himself as being a "bit arrogant, bit cocky". However, they later went off for a chat and Conor surprised Helena, who decided he was more fun to talk to than she'd thought he'd be. Sophie and Harry Commodities trader and semi pro footballer Harry said he was "delighted" when he saw Sophie, an author and motivational speaker, and loved that she was wearing red. Sophie - who made it clear she was "looking for a husband" - revealed she liked the look of Harry on paper and the pair got straight into a serious chat, with Sophie opening up about having once been injured in a fire and how she wanted a serious romance. Harry also hinted that he was looking for a real relationship, saying he was a "hopeless romantic". Read more: Love Island Who is Love Island host Maya Jama?

He also explained that he didn't like dating apps and preferred to do things face to face. "I like to go up to girls in person in the gym and say, 'How are you doing?'" he said. Megan and Tommy Megan said she was looking to find "the guy of my dreams", saying he had to be in the villa "because he's nowhere else apparently". And she got off to a good start when she picked landscape gardener Tommy, with the pair bonding over their Sicilian heritage. Tommy shared that he got plenty of attention from women in his normal life and completely backed himself when it came to the opposite sex - although any girlfriend might need the seal of approval from his mum. If she didn't approve, it could be "a dealbreaker", he said. Energy broker Megan made it clear she was up for a challenge, saying she was "so competitive". She was also looking forward to dating in person as she was "sick" of apps. Alima and Blu Alima and Blu suggested they weren't each other's types but agreed to stay open as they got to know each other. Born in London but raised in Spain, Blu said in his video interview: "Out of 10 I'd give myself a 9.5. For it to give a 10 I'd have to have my trousers off." But Alima didn't seem too impressed and complained that he'd been rude when he commented on how beautiful all the girls were when it was her who had chosen him. Shakira and Ben Shakira said she was on Love Island to find her Prince Charming, but made it clear that looks weren't everything and that he had 'got to have the chat'. When it was time to run for the hearts the children's entertainer made a beeline for the one saying Ben, who was a taxi driver with the slogan: 'No I'm not a catfish.' He told how he was always coming across 'fit' girls but that he hadn't been that lucky when it came to love himself. 'My love life is a shambles, social media has ruined everything,' he confessed. Bombshell twist There was a huge shock in store for Shakira and Ben when Jama appeared at the end of the episode and brought with her a bombshell. Toni had travelled from the US, admitting she was "tired of American boys", and Jama told her she could pick any one of the boys to couple up with. She chose Ben, leaving Shakira single and in danger of being dumped from the island. But Jama threw her a lifeline, telling her she now has 24 hours to make a connection with one of the boys. If she fails, she faces being sent packing. Love Island continues on ITV2 at 9pm on Tuesday, 10 June.

Lili Reinhart's queer indie series, 'Hal & Harper,' is hitting MUBI this fall
Sapphics, are you paying attention? You are going to want to know this: A new independent streaming series starring Lili Reinhart and Cooper Raiff is headed our way! On Monday, Deadline broke the news that streaming service MUBI acquired the rights to Hal & Harper, an eight-episode show centered around the titular codependent siblings, played by Reinhart and Raiff. Raiff also created, wrote, and directed the show. The series premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, earning rave reviews from viewers who appreciated both the heart and the comedy at the core of the show. Notably, both Reinhart and Raiff also play the much younger versions of themselves in childhood flashbacks, adding a Pen15-like quality to those sequences. If that wasn't enough to have us looking forward to Hal & Harper, it's also got a stacked cast that includes some queer faves. Mark Ruffalo plays their father, Betty Gilpin plays his girlfriend, and Bottoms' Havana Rose Liu plays the girl Hal is interested in. Oh, and did we mention Harper has a girlfriend? The Sex Lives of College Girls star Alyah Chanelle Scott tackles that role, while Addison Timlin plays the coworker Harper is crushing on. MUBI has had a hand in distributing several well-received queer films in recent years, including Shiva Baby, Knife + Heart, and Benedetta. Hal & Harper is one of a few series they have coming up, with the acquisition being praised by those hoping independent TV is a viable way forward. "MUBI is the perfect home for our very specific family show. They're a singular platform that understands the art they're putting out," Raiff told Deadline. "I am in awe of what they've done recently, and am excited to be a part of the family." And if you're still on the fence about the whole thing, we'll just leave this here: — (@) Hal & Harper will premiere on MUBI sometime this fall.
