Love Island fans accuse Dejon of 'planning to win £50k' as he asks Meg to be his girlfriend just weeks before the final

Daily Mail​21-07-2025
Love Island fans were not best pleased when Dejon Noel Williams asked Meg Moore to be his girlfriend during Monday night's episode.
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',

Terminally-ill woman plans solo round-the-world sailing voyage

A terminally-ill woman is planning on competing in a solo round-the-world sailing voyage. Jazz Turner, 27, lives with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, a debilitating genetic condition that affects connective tissue. She wants to take part in next year's Royal Western Yacht Club of England's WorldStar challenge, which would make her the first female, disabled sailor to complete such a feat. Ms Turner, from Seaford, East Sussex, was diagnosed with the illness, which causes fainting and seizures, when she was 18. Due to complications, doctors have told her that her condition is now terminal. 'As my condition has progressed, the one thing I made sure of was that I never stopped sailing,' she said. Next year's challenge follows her recent circumnavigation of the UK and Ireland, known as Project Fear, but she now needs to secure the right boat and sponsorship to carry her around the globe. 'I've always been drawn to challenges that push me to my edge,' she said. 'Project Fear was born off the back of the announcement of the WorldStar 2026. I face many a 'no' in my life, I do my best to turn them into 'yes'. 'The right partnership could turn this vision into reality. 'Whether it's a boat owner willing to lend their yacht or sponsors eager to back a remarkable human and sporting story, I'm inviting them to join me on this journey.' The WorldStar 2026 leaves Plymouth in September next year and tests sailors to circle the globe without outside assistance or stops. Adrian Gray, commodore of the Royal Western Yacht Club, said: 'Jazz is the epitome of why we created this Corinthian-style race. 'This is a race for sailors, run by sailors and the only one of its style in the UK. 'When we initially reached out to Jazz and she told us her 'Project Fear' campaign, a solo, non-stop, unassisted circumnavigation of the UK and Ireland, was started following our announcement of the WorldStar, we knew we wanted to help Jazz fulfil her life's dream.'

I won a life-changing £10,000 on bingo but lost the whole lot in just SECONDS – despite prize being genuine

GALA Bingo players have been left devastated after winning big - only for the company to refuse to payout due to a 'technical glitch'. More than 1,200 players played for over £1.6 million on Tuesday night, with many winning up to £20,000 thinking their 'lucky day had finally come'. 4 4 But representatives for the firm informed the winners that the game had "malfunctioned", meaning they could not access their winnings. Pensioner Jill Douthwaite, 72, who won £2,700 on the online game, said a live chat agent confirmed the money won was genuine. For Jill, who lives 'hand to mouth', the money would have meant her dog got the eye operation it needed. But she was ultimately left disappointed when she was told the money would not be coming through. She told The Sun: "I was so relieved when I won because I thought I could spend £500 to save my dog's eyesight. 'We're a family who can't afford to go on holidays and we've been struck with a lot of bad luck in the past too. 'My daughter even phoned her dad to say she could repay his loan for the car, but then she had to go back on her word because Gala Bingo did.' Fiona Ure, from Scotland, missed out on £9.6k because of the technical glitch. The 58-year-old told The Sun: 'I did think, at first, this was too good to be true. "But I was reassured by their very own chat agent.' Ure, who is unemployed due to disabilities, said she felt 'deflated' and had 'zero hope' that the gambling giant will 'right their wrongs'. She added: 'I think they won't do anything. 'They've issued this technical error, and I feel like that's them admitting they won't be sending the money out. 'I've been a loyal customer for 15 years, but don't think I'll ever bet with them again.' Gala Bingo sent a message to customers informing them they would not receive their winnings, but would be refunded what they spent on Bingo Tickets. The firm says the technical glitch happened on Monday night, causing chaos for around two hours. It has contacted the Gambling Commission over the incident. A Gala Bingo spokesperson said: "We apologise to customers for a technical error which occurred during our Summer Nights Bingo promotion for a short period of time, resulting in all players receiving incorrect payouts. "Our customer Terms and Conditions clearly state that in the event of a malfunction, winnings can be voided. "Affected players have been contacted directly with a gesture of goodwill."

Moment boozy Jet2 passengers are hauled off flight for VAPING after plane was forced to turn back one hour into flight

THIS is the moment two yobs sparked an emergency at 30,000ft after vaping in their seats. Families were devastated as the boozed-up thugs rowed with cabin crew and ignored demands from the cockpit to stop smoking. 3 3 There was anger and disbelief at no-frills carrier Jet2 that the two men were 'drunk as skunks' at take-off and allowed on-board. Passengers told The Sun they were knocking back alcohol after the scheduled 5.55am departure was delayed. One of the nicked hooligans was later alleged to be found carrying cocaine and MDMA. An emergency was declared one hour into Jet2's Flight 1577 to Heraklion in Crete on Tuesday morning. The pilots declared an emergency and returned to Stansted airport where police waited to seize the two men. Footage obtained by The Sun shows the moment officers entered the twin-jet Airbus A321 at 9.36am to wild cheers from the rest of the exasperated passengers. Boos can be heard ringing out the cabin and one fed-up woman shouts at the hooligans, one of whom is weaning a back-to-front black baseball cap: 'Get off!' A male passenger bellows, 'Loser!', then adds of the duo: 'F****** b***ends!' Another flyer screams: 'Do not get on a flight if you cannot control your drink!' She adds: 'We love you police - thank you!' Acknowledging the no-frills airline's catchphrase, ' Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday' following the ad campaign starring pop star Jess Glynne, she then quipped: '...And if you want to take a Jet2 holiday!' A source told The Sun: 'Passengers were livid. Everyone was looking forward to the start of the holiday. "The worst scenario is having to turn around and return to the UK after an hour into the flight. 'But there was also anger that the two men were allowed on board, clearly drunk. 'It's ridiculous that they could be so boozed-up so early. The flight was meant to go before 6am but was delayed for over an hour. "That clearly gave these thugs more time to knock back the hard stuff. 'There were lots of kids on the plane and the airline should not allow these lunatics to spoil hard earned holidays.' 'EVERYONE WAS DISTRAUGHT' A passenger added: 'On the flight the duo were so obnoxious. They began vaping, then kicked off when told to stop smoking. 'They couldn't understand or care just how dangerous it was for everyone on the plane. 'The pilots were told what was going on and a cockpit announcement warned that if the pair didn't stop vaping the flight would have to return to the UK. 'The drunk pair ignored the threat and continued being rude to the crew, so we had to return to Stansted. Everyone was distraught and families were a little frightened. It is very unnerving. 'When the police boarded the plane on landing there were cheers for the officers, and abuse for the yobs. I hope they get the book thrown at them. They should be locked up and banned from flying in future.' The gutted holidaymakers were forced to wait until a later service could take them on the four-hour journey to Greece yesterday evening. Jet2 gave passengers a £10 voucher to be redeemed in WHSmith at Stansted. A passenger blasted: 'The guys were so obviously drunk before boarding. They should not have been on the plane. The whole thing could have been avoided if Jet2 had done their job. 'Everyone was furious. Some passengers were only going to Crete for a few days and it took a big chunk out of their holiday. It was such a frustrating experience.' Jet2 is the UK's third biggest scheduled airline offering package and charter flights and based at Leeds Bradford airport. The carrier is the largest tour operator in the UK ahead of Tui. THUG ARRESTED An Essex Police spokesman told The Sun: 'We were called at around 8.40am on Tuesday 5 August to reports of a disruptive passenger on board a flight bound for Greece. 'Officers were alerted to the flight's imminent return to Stansted Airport and detained two passengers for searches. 'One was arrested and taken into custody after a quantity of suspected Class A drugs was found. 'A man, aged in his 20s, from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, remains in custody for questioning.' The second passenger was detained by cops for a stop and search after leaving the aircraft but not arrested. LIFETIME BAN Last night Jet2 broke their silence to reveal they'd issued a passenger with a life ban. The branded the behaviour "disgraceful" and "aggressive". An airline spokesperson said: "We can confirm that a customer has been issued with a lifetime ban following a catalogue of disgraceful and aggressive behaviour, which led to flight LS1577 from London Stansted to Crete Heraklion having to return to Stansted so that police could offload them. "We would like to thank the police and our crew for their handling of this difficult situation. "As a family friendly airline, we take a zero-tolerance approach to disruptive passenger behaviour and we will fully support the authorities with any subsequent investigation, including prosecutions and pursuing civil proceedings if necessary."
