Love Island host takes brutal swipe at Harry and says he ‘held Shakira back' from winning show
A LOVE Island host has taken a swipe at Harry and says he 'held Shakira back' from winning the show. Last night viewers watched as Toni Laites and Cach Mercer won the latest series of the ITV2 reality show. Advertisement 5 Love Island host Sam has taken a swipe at Harry and says he 'held Shakira back' from winning the show Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 5 The couple came in second place with some fans speculating that Harry 'held Shakira back' Credit: Shutterstock Editorial After weeks of drama in the villa, the series came to a close yesterday with a battle between Toni & Cach, Shakira Khan & Harry Cooksley, Angel Swift & Ty Isherwood and Yasmin Pettet & Jamie Rhodes. Many fans thought Shakira had it in the bag, but after Harry's villa antics some viewers speculated that the pair wouldn't win because of him. This is a sentiment that Aftersun host Sam Thompson appeared to agree with. 'Shakira was slightly held back by Harry yeah, but do you know what he had a bit of a personality transplant at the end. Advertisement 'Now, I think he's madly in love with her and that won't change. They'll come out and he'll see how well she's doing and probably even more in love with her.' Sam, who spoke to The Sun on behalf of M&Ms Couch Confessions, added: 'I think they'll go strong for a while. 'She could've won it, but I think Toni and Cach are amazing.' The 33-year-old threw his full support behind winners Toni and Cach, adding: 'I loved his tears. I know it sounds weird but I love that he showed that emotion. Advertisement 'He also would never look at her when talking to her, which I found so interesting. I think he's really shy, but I think that's really endearing and you can tell he's just a nice guy. Sam Thompson 'shoots his shot' and hit on Olivia Attwood's MARRIED sister says Pete Wicks - after his date with influencer is revealed 'It's good to see nice guys do well who don't start as the OG's. He doesn't have to be the life of the party, and he wasn't the most entertaining person in the world, but he was just a lovely guy.' Sam, who listed Love Island as his favourite TV show ever, also spoke about the divide between the girls in the villa. Millions of viewers watched the likes of Toni Laites and Shakira Khan clash with Helena and Meg Moore. Advertisement Things got especially heated when Harry Cooksley's head was turned back to Shakira after he made his partnership with Helena 'exclusive'. Sharing his thoughts on the matter, Sam told us: 'You're going to get all of that happening. 'I went into the house a few days ago and it's small. You're on top of each other and you know how it is, they'll get out and all be best of pals. 'They'll have a WhatsApp group, someone will leave it first, but they're all pals.' Advertisement The Aftersun star wasn't too sure which couple will be the first to split, but was adamant that Yasmin was his favourite Islander of the series. He continued: 'Do you think it'll be Meg and Dejon? I do think they've got something to prove now. I don't think they'll break up any time soon. 'And I think we've got some really strong couples. Yas had an amazing story arc, at the start she was risque and I love now that we've seen a little bit of warmth and heart. 'She was my favourite Islander.' Advertisement On the topic of TV, Sam was chatting to The Sun about all things telly while enjoying some M&M'S, to launch Couch Confessions, a playful new pop-up experience coming to Battersea on 5th August, built around Britain's funniest (and most relatable) TV-watching habits. He opened up on his own TV watching habits, saying: 'I'm a pauser, I'm a talker, I'm a sub-titler, I'm a tea maker, I'm a fiddler.' The 33-year-old also said he was keen to buy a slanket, which boasts the unique features arm holes, foot pockets, and areas for snacks, so he could share it with his cats. Asked if his best mate Pete Wicks would be accompanying him in the slanket, Sam was quick to say: 'I'm not sharing it with anyone at the moment, it'll just be me and my cats in the slanket.'

The real haunted castle in Offaly behind Wednesday's new season
If the walls of Charleville Castle could talk, they'd probably start with a dramatic 'Boo!' Nestled in the heart of County Offaly, the 18th-century castle has long had a reputation for being one of Ireland's most haunted spots. Flickering lights, phantom footsteps, and the mischievous spirit of a little girl named Harriet have given visitors chills for years. Now, the castle is about to get a whole new generation of spooks, thanks to Netflix's Wednesday. If the walls of Charleville Castle could talk, they'd probably start with a dramatic 'Boo!' Pic: Netflix Season two of the delightfully macabre series, which drops tomorrow, filmed key scenes at Charleville, making it officially the only place in Ireland where you might trip over both a ghost and a member of the Addams family in the same hallway. Offering a look into the ghostly goings on via their website, the team at Charleville House wrote: 'The castle is reputed to be haunted by a little girl named Harriet, youngest daughter of the third Earl of Charleville, who died tragically in the main staircase of the building at the age of 8 in April 1861. 'Her presence in the castle has been reported many times by many different people… Singing in the middle of the night, laughing, screams, etc…Some people think they have caught her on their cameras as they can see shadows or mists on the pictures they took within the castle…' Nestled in the heart of County Offaly, the 18th-century castle has long had a reputation for being one of Ireland's most haunted spots. Flickering lights, phantom footsteps, and the mischievous spirit of a little girl named Harriet have given visitors chills for Charleville Castle Others have famously seen the little girl wearing a blue and white dress, with golden curls and blue ribbons in her hair. The castle has been extensively investigated by numerous paranormal investigators and psychics from around the world, having been featured on Living TV's Most Haunted and ABC Family's Scariest Places On Earth, as well as on Ghost Hunters International. Previously speaking to Newstalk, events coordinator at Charleville Castle, Terri Dale-Kearney spoke of the tragic story and the one room that still gives her chills. Now, the castle is about to get a whole new generation of spooks, thanks to Netflix's Wednesday. Pic: Vlad Cioplea/Netflix 'Our resident ghost is Harriet – she's an eight-year-old little girl,' she began. 'She fell just behind where we are standing, and broke her neck and her back – unfortunately, it's very tragic. 'She has been here for years; I've been here for almost 20 years, and I have had more than a few experiences I think at the hands of her trickery and her playing.' So, whether you're a thrill-seeker hoping to glimpse Harriet skipping through the corridors or just a Wednesday fan eager to spot some familiar spots on screen, Charleville Castle is ready for its close-up, and maybe a few cold spots. Wednesday Season Two Part 1 lands on Netflix on August 6 with Part 2 premiering on September 3 .
