Love Island fans convinced Ben doesn't fancy stunning American bombshell Toni as they spot giveaway sign

Love Island anchor Maya Jama, 30, delivered a huge bombshell when she entered the villa for a second time in episode one.
Her bombshell was that a bombshell was arriving.
Glam girl Toni, 24 - who is the first ever late show arrival from the United States - then arrived.
The couples were left stunned as Las Vegas pool cabana server Toni said: "Good Evening UK! Surprise!"
They quickly worked out she is American and on being the first American bombshell Toni says: "Lucky girl, aren't I?"
Maya then explained that Toni was to immediately steal a boy.
Toni then opted for Ben, 23, meaning Shakira was left single and vulnerable.
Yet viewers aren't convinced it's a winning match.
One took to X to write: "Ben doesn't fancy that girl btw."
Another mused: "Ben doesn't even look like he wants to be there. This season is about to be a mess."
A third then added: "Ben did not want to be picked."
It remains to be seen what the taxi driver's next move is - and if he will take the time to get to know Toni, who recently revealed her crippling health battle.
NEXT STEPS
During Monday's episode, Maya then revealed that Burnley lass Shakira is now single.
Maya clarified the brunette beauty wouldn't be dumped from the villa immediately, but instead had 24 hours to graft and steal a boy from someone else.
She isn't allowed to take Ben back from Antonia, and if she doesn't get chosen, she'll be packing her bags.
But if she does get selected in the next re-coupling round, another girl will be going home.
Leaving the group with that cliffhanger, Maya then suggested that the girls keep their "boys very close".
The show's six couples with Shakira single are now Toni and Ben, Meg and Dejon, Sophie and Harry, Helena and Conor, Alima and Blu, and Megan and Tommy.
Yet it might not look good for Shakira, who entered the villa first alongside Meg Moore, 25.
She promptly offended swathes of viewers as she made a stark comment about 9-5 jobs.

Bryan Cranston opens up about his nepo baby daughter and her breakout role in The Pitt
Bryan Cranston was quite the proud dad while showering praise on his only daughter Taylor Dearden and her work on the Max medical drama The Pitt. Dearden, 32, is the only child of the Breaking Bad star, 69, and his wife of over 35 years, actress Robin Dearden. Taylor made her acting debut as a 'Sad Faced Girl' on an episode of her father's hit TV series, though she has made her own way ever since. After starring in a few short films, she played McKenzie on the web series 10 Ways to Get Rejected, along with Sweet/Vicious and Netflix 's American Vandal. She has most recently had roles in a pair of Apple TV Plus projects - For All Mankind and The Last Thing She Told Me. Taylor can currently be seen as Dr. Melissa King on The Pitt, with her father praising his only child during a red carpet appearance at the Tribeca Film Festival (via MSN). 'There is nothing that's more gratifying than when your kid receives praise. Nothing. No one could say anything to me that's better than that,' Cranston said. 'Her mom and I are just over the moon with her her work on it. She's a very hard working person, she grew up in it,' he added. 'So, it's in her bones. She's in it for the right reasons and she loves it,' he said, when he was asked about any advice he may have passed down along the way. 'Because I'm her dad, she picks up advice hopefully by the way I behave in this business and navigate my way through,' Cranston said. 'I don't ever say, "Now, young lady, here's some advice I'm going to give you." Kids don't want to hear that,' he joked. Dearden could be a candidate to land a Best Supporting Actress nomination when the Emmy nods are revealed next month. Taylor revealed in an interview with Gold Derby last month that it was, 'really trippy,' to still be filming the show while it was airing, a rarity for most streaming shows. 'We'd get texts from people saying like ah that one thing that happened and I'm like still at work going, 'No I just did something else.' Her character is neurodivergent second-year resident, and the actress herself is neurodivergent, adding it always 'bugged' her the way these characters are often portrayed. 'There is a show that will not be mentioned that I saw and I was like wow they're really trying to play autism there in a very unflattering light,' Rearden added. 'It's just I think what's frustrating is it is this idea of robots as opposed to humans and people who have a lot of things going on and yeah I mean it tends to be very one note and I'm I'm hoping that I'm doing a good job,' she said. The Pitt wrapped up its 15-episode first season in April, averaging over 10 million global viewers per episode, with a second season already ordered.

Major EastEnders star is 'revealed as new landlady at the Queen Vic' after owners Linda and Elaine put iconic pub up for sale
Albert Square's next landlady at the Queen Vic pub has been revealed after owners Linda Carter and her mum Elaine Peacock were forced to put it up for sale. Leopard print-loving loudmouth Kat Moon, played by Jessie Wallace, is set to take over the EastEnders pub in her third time working behind the bar. She previously worked at the boozer alongside ex-husband Alfie Moon from 2010 to 2013. A source told The Sun: 'This will be Kat's third time working in the Queen Vic, but this will be her first time at the helm. 'It's a full-circle moment for the character, as when she first moved on to Albert Square in 2000, Kat gained employment as a barmaid at the pub. Then, ten years on, she helped Alfie. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'But now she's going to be the sole licensee of the boozer and it will kick-start a whole new chapter for the pub.' Kat has already been part of the soap's biggest storylines, including Alfie's prostate cancer battle and a failed marriage to Phil Mitchell. Kat's new job comes as she has tied the knot with Alfie (Shane Richie) for the third time this week — more than two decades after first saying 'I do'. The sale of the boozer comes after it blew up in February, claiming the lives of Martin Fowler (James Bye) and killer accountant Reiss Colwell (Jonny Freeman). MailOnline have contacted EastEnders' representatives for comment. In another major shake-up, Bobby Brazier is leaving his role on EastEnders after three years. The actor, 22, joined the soap in 2022 as Freddy Slater and even won the National Television Award for Rising Star for his work on the show. But Bobby has been inundated with other offers since taking part on Strictly Come Dancing in 2023. A source told The Sun: 'This will be Kat's third time working in the Queen Vic, but this will be her first time at the helm. It's a full-circle moment for the character, as when she first moved on to Albert Square in 2000, Kat gained employment as a barmaid at the pub' According to The Sun, the actor will leave Albert Square later this year. An EastEnders spokeswoman said: 'We can confirm that Bobby Brazier will be leaving EastEnders, and we wish him all the best for the future.' A source added: 'Bosses had a meeting with Bobby only recently as they had a plan in mind for a storyline, and it just so happened that Bobby was also thinking that now was the right time to look for other opportunities outside the show. 'The timing of the decision worked for both, but his final scenes are not for a while yet. The character has had a great run, but the time is now right for Bobby to look for other opportunities, and for EastEnders to wave goodbye to Freddie Slater.'

Twix ad banned in UK for encouraging unsafe driving
A TV ad for chocolate bar Twix has been banned for encouraging unsafe advert shows a man with flowing hair involved in a car chase and crash that results in his and an identical, caramel-coloured car sandwiched on top of each other, like a complaints issued against the advert said it encouraged dangerous driving and was who own Twix, argued that the ad had a "cinematic presentation" and was set in a "world that was absurd, fantastical and removed from reality", which Clearcast, the non-governmental organisation that approves adverts before broadcast, echoed. But the watchdog the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) ruled the ad "must not appear again" in its current form because it "condoned unsafe driving".While the ASA acknowledged that the stunt performed highlighted the fantastical nature of the advert, it took issue with the first half of the video that showed driving "that appeared likely to breach the legal requirements of the Highway Code".It said there was an "emphasis on speed" including with "fast paced beat and music" in the car chase, noting the "visible skid marks" left on the defended the advert, saying "the cars were shot driving at lawful speeds and any emulation would only reflect the legal and safe driving presented".The sweet giant, who also own M&Ms, Celebrations and Maltesers, added that Twix is known for its absurd and playful humour, which was reflected in the final scene shows a Twix bar falling through the sunroofs of the two cars, before they drive off - still attached - and with the tagline "two is more than one".For its part, Clearcast told the ASA that the style of the video made it clear it wasn't meant to be emulated nor did it suggest "safe driving was boring."In the ASA's ruling, it said it told Mars "not to condone or encourage irresponsible driving that was likely to breach the legal requirements of the Highway Code in their ads."
