Love Island fans accuse Dejon of 'planning to win £50k' as he asks Meg to be his girlfriend just weeks before the final
The couple have been through their fair share of rocky patches, with Dejon getting to know multiple girls throughout their relationship and in Casa Amor.
In recent weeks, the pair have gone from strength to strength after the personal trainer finally put his flirty antics behind him and stuck by 'his Meg'.
But some viewers still believe Dejon is not showing his true colours, going as far as accusing him of 'planning to win the £50,000 prize' if they're crowned the winners.
During the episode, Dejon bagged the prime opportunity to make things official with Meg as they were whisked off on on a romantic first date away from the villa.
Sitting against a perfect sunset backdrop, the footballer sealed the deal and asked her to be his girlfriend.
Viewers on X accused Dejon of plotting to win the show, having popped the question just weeks before the finale.
Comments read: 'They are acting like they've just announced an engagement',
'I'm sorry I DO NOT BUY IT. Dejon didn't give Meg a hug yesterday when she asked for one to cheer her up.
'He said he couldn't be arsed and now he's asked to be boyfriend/girlfriend?!?! #LoveIsland #LoveIslandUK',
'Toni and Shakira are speaking for all of us',
'Whatever Dejon and Meg are selling, I am not buying - this whole relationship is a scam',
'Meg announcing her & Dejon are official was giving this except no one likes Meg enough to tell her that Dejon is messing her about',
'Idk why people are calling toni and shakira mean girls. They just said they are happy for meg but all it is is that they can see through dejon's game. Asked to be exclusive 2 days ago nd now bf and gf. PLEASEEE #LoveIsland #LoveIslandUK',

Forget Disney: 24 real-life fairytale castles in the UK and Europe you can stay in
Disney theme park castles not quite enchanting enough for you? If you're craving a more intense storybook vibe, then check into one of these real-life fairytale European castles. They're steeped in history and some are former homes of kings, queens and knights. And you can spend the night in them all. There's one in France that inspired Disney's Sleeping Beauty, an English castle that King Henry VI stayed in and a 13th-century Tuscany tower that Dante called home. They're all unique, but with one thing in common — pinch-me-I'm-dreaming fantasyland looks. Château de Rouffillac, Sarlat-la-canéda, Dordogne Valley, France Even in the Dordogne, the "Valley of 1001 Castles", swoonworthy Château de Rouffillac is a standout structure. The 12th-century hilltop castle, remodeled in the 19th century, evokes storybook scenes with its fantasyland facade and majestic interiors. The pick of the rooms is a royal suite featuring its own turret, a sitting area "with magnificent views" and stained-glass windows. From $17,000 for up to 20 people. Visit Chateau de Menthon, Annecy, France Chateau de Menthon is said to have been the inspiration for Disney's Sleeping Beauty, and while you can't stay in the castle itself, you can spend the night in a cottage within the grounds. The 12th-century castle has belonged to the same family, the Menthons, for 23 known generations. What was once an austere fortress was transformed at the end of the 19th century by the great-grandfather of the current owners, René de Menthon. The cottage offers views of Lake Annecy and four suites. Rooms from $530. Visit This former 13th-century Knights Templar military fortress, nestled amid vineyards in a part of the Occitanie region of France known as "Little Tuscany", is now an exceptional place to stay, with guestrooms furnished in 17th-century style. Visit Occitanie remarks that a "meticulous restoration" of the property was carried out in the 1960s by the painter Bernard Bistes that "transformed the castle into a true work of art". This 13th-century chateau, located in the Malbec wine growing area between Bordeaux and Toulouse, is described by Visit Occitanie as a "sacred jewel". Hyperbole? The pictures suggest it would be the crowning glory of any European vacation with a fairytale angle. The château overlooks the river Lot from a vertiginous cliff, with Visit Occitanie adding: "It is the perfect destination for a timeless break in the heart of nature. 'A majestic site steeped in history, Château de Mercuès invites you on a unique journey to the heart of France's great Malbec wines." Château d'Ouchy, Lausanne, Switzerland Switzerland is famous for its chocolate, watches and mountains, but is also home to a few eye-catching historical chateaux, such as this one, which is about as striking as they come. Standing proud on the banks of Lake Geneva like a pop-up storybook castle, 49-room neo-Gothic Chateau d'Ouchy is festooned with luxurious touches and amenities, including a tree-shaded outdoor pool and sauna. And it's rich in history, beginning life as a single tower in 1177. It was built by Bishop Landri de Durnes, explains Small Luxury Hotels, and a century later, the structure was transformed and fortifications added to provide safe housing for the bishops of Lausanne. Today, it's safe housing for travelers who like the finer things in life. With an Alpine view. Rooms from $340. Visit Cap Rocat, Mallorca, Spain What was once a 19th-century fortress built to defend the Bay of Palma, is now a romantic small hotel. Though the building's past is very much interwoven with its present-day purpose as a luxurious bolthole. There's a drawbridge, suites in former shooting buttresses and while there's no dungeon, there is a spa that's been dug 40 feet underground in the fortress's protected rock. Castle Elvira, Trepuzzi, Italy No, you're not dreaming. This fantasy-like Italian castle is perfectly real. Small Luxury Hotels boasts that it's "both rustic and luxurious, magical but equipped with discreet modern technology". It's not cheap, but they say you get what you pay for, and here, it's seemingly a slice of heaven (with hand-carved Carrara marble bathtubs and a pool). The hotel, which dates to the late 1800s, is located just 10 minutes away from the picturesque city of Lecce, sometimes referred to as "the Florence of the south". Al Jafar, Paceco, Sicily, Italy This property would please any self-respecting royal. It comes with views of the sea, the Aegadian Islands and the village of Erice, has a swimming pool in an ancient walled garden and "furnishings and fittings of the highest standard", according to which offers stays here. The firm explains that Al Jafar has been in the family of the present owners since 1335, with a 1990 restoration project ensuring that "each stone, parapet and crenelation lives on to tell its story". In 2014, the Sicilian Regional Department of Cultural and Environmental Heritage listed Moorish Al Jafar as a "building of historical, artistic and architectural importance". Al Jafar villa sleeps eight, with stays from $8,000 a week. Visit Castello di Caprarica, Tricase, Puglia, Italy Castello di Caprarica, built in 1524, comes with dramatic 20-foot-high fortified walls, four storybook towers and lashings of luxury. There's a 14-meter pool, "richly appointed" reception rooms and an al fresco dining terrace. The Thinking Traveller says: "The castle's history is reflected in its enduring stone walls and historic interiors, preserved with care to maintain its authentic character while providing every modern amenity." Castello di Caprarica villa sleeps 22, stays from $10,700 a week. Visit Reschio Hotel, Umbria, Italy It's history with a wow factor. This social-media-igniting castle, nestled amid the rolling green hills of Umbria, has a tower dating back to the year 900 AD. And within, the jewel in the crown of Reschio's room offering —a two-bedroom $4,820-a-night suite spread over five floors with its own terrace. The rest of the hotel, with its vintage furniture, original stonework and inviting pool, is also impressive. Porciano Castle, Tuscany, Italy Follow in the footsteps of Dante with a stay in this incredible 12th-century Tuscan castle, a spellbinding feature of the Casentino Valley that oozes history. The Italian poet, writer, and philosopher is said to have stayed in the tower while in exile from his native Florence for failing to pay a fine in 1302. The story goes that guards at the castle saw soldiers coming up the road to arrest him and gave him warning. Dante left the castle and made his way down the road in disguise. He passed the soldiers en route and when asked by them whether Dante was at the castle, he cleverly replied, "He was there when I left!" Inside, guests will discover original fireplaces and exposed beams. Plus a few mod cons. For example, the tower has an elevator and Wi-Fi. Sleeps nine. Rooms from $1,877. Visit Morfae Castle, Fife, Dundee, Scotland Morfae Castle, a short drive from St. Andrews, has been the historic home of the Earls of Dundee since the 18th century. And what a home. Today, guests can enjoy 1,500 acres of private estate land featuring a private beach, a walled and a wild garden, an outdoor pool and a tennis court. And inside, says there are rooms "straight out of Cluedo", from a billiards room to a ballroom. Sleeps up to 36. Three-night breaks from $20,000. Visit Inverlochy Castle, Fort William, Scotland This Scottish castle hotel has it all — a magnificent setting (Ben Nevis is the backdrop and there's a loch out front), a notable restaurant run by Albert and Michel Roux Jr and more luxury than you can shake a jousting lance at. During a trip to Balmoral in 1873, Queen Victoria spent a week at Inverlochy sketching and painting, and she wrote in her diaries: "I never saw a lovelier or more romantic spot." Kilmartin Castle, Argyll, Scotland Kilmartin Castle was built in 1550 during the legendary reign of Mary Queen of Scots and in 2025 is one of Scotland's most sought-after castle stays. This is a truly authentic rental, with uneven stone floors and doors chunky enough to withstand a battering ram. But luxury abounds. There are rain showers, standalone copper tubs and sofas so comfy you'll struggle to get up from them (the author speaks from experience). Once you do and you head out, there are breathtaking surrounding landscapes to explore. This 12th-century coastal castle offers a luxurious stay for a prince or princess and their friends in six bedrooms. And there's plenty to explore outside of the cosy interior — 186 miles of National Park coast path, stunning beaches, the wildlife-rich islands of Ramsey, Skomer and Skokholm, and Britain's smallest city, St Davids, which is just seven miles away. Stays from $325. Visit Amberley Castle, West Sussex, England Amberley Castle is so authentic guests might be forgiven for thinking that they really have stepped back in time. The 900-year-old castle is completely enclosed by a 60-foot-high curtain wall, and on the inside are suits of armour, barrel-vaulted ceilings and roaring log fires. Famous guests? Just a few. Amberley Castle has been used exclusively by royalty, politicians and VIPs throughout its history — Henry VIII visited the site in 1526, whilst Queen Elizabeth II visited as a teenager in the 1940s. Bamburgh Castle, Northumberland, England Bamburgh Castle is one of England's best preserved historic sites, with a history dating back over 1,400 years. It was a Norman stronghold and home to a succession of kings from Henry VI to James I. Guests can immerse themselves in the history of the castle with a stay in Neville Tower or The Clock Tower, and enjoy privileged access to the castle grounds once visitors have left. Linking the castle's restored medieval curtain wall to a vast 13th-century tower and turret, The Clock Tower has been transformed into a unique apartment that sleeps five. Neville Tower, meanwhile, set into the cross wall between the East and West Wards, offers views through its mullioned windows of the castle grounds and the North Sea beyond. Peckforton Castle, Cheshire, England Built in 1851 by politician John Tollemache as a palatial fortified home, Peckforton Castle quickly caught the attention of English Heritage, which deemed it a building of exceptional interest and importance. The images show that the organization was spot on. This exquisite castle looks like it's been warped out of a Disney movie. To add to the fantasyland vibe, entrance is through a portcullis and guests can stay in four-poster bedrooms. Rooms from $170. Visit Falkensteiner Schlosshotel Velden, Austria Falkensteiner Schlosshotel Velden is a showstopper. The 16th-century castle hotel boasts beautiful gardens, 105 elegant rooms and suites and views of 10-mile-long Lake Wörth. Guests have access to a private beach club with a freshwater pool and private access to said lake. The hotel has its own marina and guided tours in a V8 motorboat with in-house captain Roberto are available. And after a hard day's, er, cruising, guests can relax in a 3,600-square-meter spa, which boasts a whirlpool, gemstone steam bath, Finnish sauna, panoramic garden sauna, infrared cabin and a dedicated spa cinema. Rooms from $444. Visit Schlosshotel Kronberg, near Frankfurt, Germany Imposing Schlosshotel Kronberg was built in 1893 and was home to Empress Victoria Friedrich. Today, says Small Luxury Hotels, which offers the property in its portfolio, "guests [are] surrounded by many of the empress's original antiques and paintings". Stroll the corridors and you'll discover paintings by Rubens, Titian and Gainsborough, along with gilded Venetian mirrors, antique bronzes and stained-glass windows. And you'll fall asleep beneath chandeliers and amid intricate wallpaper. This enchanting 13th-century chateau, once a home for the Knights of Otocec, is situated on an island in Slovenia's Krka River and blends Gothic Renaissance charm with elegant modern luxury. There are 16 rooms, including "Royal Suites" with river views, lush gardens and a restaurant featuring fresh ingredients from its organic garden. Burned down during the Second World War, it has risen from the ashes in style. From $100,000 a week for 32 people. Visit Kronovall Castle, Skane County, Sweden Kronovall Castle, an hour's drive from the city of Malmo, dates back to 1760, but was rebuilt in the French Baroque style in the 19th century. It's hard to disagree that the renovation was an eye-catching one. A stay here is luxurious, but authentic — much of the castle remains as it was in days gone by, so many of the rooms don't have adjacent bathrooms, although you can book other rooms elsewhere on the estate that do. Rooms from $195. Visit Xara Palace, Malta Step back in time and live the life of a 17th-century Mediterranean aristocrat with a stay at Xara Palace. Inside, you'll be in a world of vaulted ceilings, antique stonework and period furnishings. And outside, the fairytale life continues, as the property is the only hotel located in Mdina, Malta's ancient capital and one of Europe's best-preserved medieval cities. Rooms from $260. Visit Château d'Urspelt, Luxembourg This castle in the heart of the Eislek region, about an hour's drive north of Luxembourg city, dates back to the 18th century and was used as a command post and field hospital during the Second World War. It lay abandoned following the liberation of Luxembourg until 2005, when entrepreneur Freddy Lodomez set about restoring it to its former glory. Today, it's a distinguished 57-room hotel with a Nuxe Spa wellness area. Rooms from $200.

Sommeliers and wine experts reveal the best Whispering Angel rosé alternatives
Cited as boosting the worldwide rosé market, Whispering Angel has won itself a loyal legion of sippers, thanks to attractive marketing, subtle flavouring and A-lister approval. Produced deep in Provence, the coveted pale vino became the most talked-about tipple of 2021 after Adele told US Vogue that her supermarket runs during lockdown consisted of ketchup and the cult wine. 'Whispering Angel turned me into a barking dog. It did not make me whisper,' said the singer when referring to her favourite plonk. A blend of cinsaut, grenache and vermentino grapes, the wine is loved for being very pale and very dry, with subtle flavours of orange, red fruits and a little dried herbs and spice. But with a price tag of £25, it's one of the more upmarket rosés on store shelves. True to form, supermarkets like Aldi and Asda have been quick to develop alternatives that don't merely nod to the OG but appear carbon copy (the former boasts a similarly italicised label while the latter is wryly called Screaming Devil). Elsewhere, sommeliers namecheck Miravel and Leoube (both cost less than £18) while wine enthusiasts on TikTok love M&S's la balconne and Lidl's breath of paradise bottle. 'Whispering Angel is a great wine, as is its more refined offering,' says wine writer Katie Brook. 'But are we paying for quality or a name?' In a bid to help you keep costs down ahead of your next summertime soirée or wine-fueled dinner party, I went to the experts. I asked them to share their favourite affordable alternatives to Whispering Angel. What to look for in a Whispering Angel alternative "I always recommend looking to the regions in and around Whispering Angel's home, the southern French Mediterranean region of Provence – so look for labels that say Languedoc, Pays D'Oc, IGP Méditerranée or Corsica,' says The Independent 's weekly wine columnist, Rosamund Hall. By looking in these regions, 'you'll find wines made using similar grapes. They'll have a familiar appearance and taste: delicate pale dusty-pinks with aromas of fresh summer berried fruits, hints of orange zest, and of course a beautiful, uplifting acidity', she explains. Lucy Hitchcock, the wine enthusiast behind the @Partnerinwineuk social media account, explains: 'The peculiar thing is, a lot of the Whispering Angel 'dupes' that are popping up now, are actually Sainte Victoire Cotes du Provence rosés.' This region has recently become the first 'cru' of Côtes de Provence, noted for its distinctive terroir. 'Sainte Victoire is a very specific quality area of Côtes de Provence, with a specific microclimate producing beautifully balanced grapes,' Hitchcock adds. For those looking for a swap-out Provencial rosé, Emilee Tombs, wine writer and assistant travel editor at The Independent, suggests the Loire Valley. 'While it might not offer better value, rosé wines from this area of northwest France have a similar dry, crisp style with red fruit and citrus notes.' Meet the experts Lucy Hitchcock is the wine enthusiast behind the @Partnerinwineuk social media account. She has nearly 100k on Instagram and 65k on TikTok, with her reviews of Aldi or M&S bottles regularly going viral. Emilee Tombs is assistant travel editor at The Independent and holds a WSET Level 3 Award in Wines from the Wine and Spirits Education Trust. She has written for a number of wine publications, from Noble Rot to Ocado Life magazine. Katie Brook is a journalist with a specialism in wine and a decade of experience as a wine reviewer. She is the founder of Run To Wine, a London- and Surrey-based running club that ends its sessions with a wine tasting. Rosamund Hall is a writer, presenter and columnist specialising in wine and spirits. She is The Independent 's weekly wine columnist with 'The Wine Down' and writer of the best rosé wines. Tom Gilbey started winemaking at age 23, then became an importer, wine merchant, and advisor. He shares his recommendations on his website, as well as to his 666k followers on Instagram and 218k on TikTok, aiming to demystify the world of wine.
