"He was gutted because he feels like there is still unfinished
business
between the two of them.
"While they aren't
dating
anymore, he thinks she's an amazing girl and they ended on good terms.
"It's weird for anyone though knowing your ex is about to go on Love Island and could fall for someone else on TV.'

The dancer, from
Manchester, was performing with flaming props when the
left her fighting for her life.
The air-con in the venue was too powerful and blasted a fireball back at her, causing her face and chest to 'go up in flames'.
Sophie told Fabulous Digital: 'The air-con was too strong so when I blew the fire out it blew back to me. It set me on fire. I just remember being in so much pain, I blacked out for a little bit. It's crazy.
'It happened in front of everyone and I had to get on with it as professionally and quickly as I could. As soon as I got into the ambulance, I was in bits."
Sophie spent a month in intensive care in America by herself, while receiving treatment for the burns.

Love Island star Helena Ford appears to take a swipe at rivals as show feud explodes
LOVE Island's Helena Ford may have sent a subtle dig at her fellow reality TV stars just weeks after leaving the Spanish villa. Helena was in a relationship with Harry Cooksley for much of this year's Love Island series, until he decided to recouple with Shakira Khan and would go on to be runners-up. 5 Love Island star Helena Ford appears to take a swipe at some of her show rivals Credit: @helenaforddd / TikTok 5 She seemed to poke fun at Shakira, Yasmin and Toni Credit: @helenaforddd / TikTok 5 Helena was dumped by Harry who moved on with Shakira Credit: @helenaforddd / TikTok 5 Shakira, Toni and Yasmin said they made good friends in the villa Credit: Shutterstock Editorial The blonde bombshell posted a video to TikTok showing her sitting in a hairdressers' chair, with her hair full of foils and it eventually cut to the final result. But it was in the voiceover to which Helena mimed to, that she may have taken a swipe at her fellow contestants, Shakira, Toni Laites and Yasmin Pettet. The audio was a clip from an interview with actress Ariana Greenblatt, who played the 'mean girl' daughter in the Barbie movie. Ariana says: "Whatever, we all know blondes have more fun, because their bleach is in their hair, let's talk about it." Helena's use of the audio could be seen as a dig to Shakira, Toni and Yasmin, who were often billed as the being given the 'mean girls' edit during this series of Love Island. Her TikTok also coincided with the release of an i-D Magazine feature interview with the three Islanders where they talked about feeling grateful they could represent brunettes and in Shakira's case, the South Asian community. "What have I signed up for?" Shakira said in the i-D interview. 'Everyone's gonna love the blonde hair, blue-eyed girls, we see year in year out on Love Island. I thought, based on initial attraction, it wasn't going to go well for me, but I was pleasantly surprised.' Shakira, Toni and Yasmin also addressed the ongoing feuds and rivalries in the villa describing at "classic High School behaviour". 'We felt that massively in the changing room, the snickers, the whispers, the dirty look," Shakira said. "When you come around the corner and they stop talking, you feel isolated, it feels frosty, really tense, and it's not nice. "It wasn't a bad edit; we tried to fix it, but that was our experience, we lived it.' Despite having a rocky relationship with some of their co-stars, the trio stuck together and gracefully took on every obstacle thrown at them. Toni won the series alongside Cach and scooped a prize of £50k, while Shakira and Harry and Yas and Jamie are also going strong. Despite each bagging themselves a new fella, they have proudly said that the real prize is the friendships they made.

Chaser Darragh Ennis wants to bring back popular RTE quiz show
Darragh Ennis, star of the popular quiz show – The Chase, has said he would love to bring back a popular show that kept 90s kids entertained after school and ran for seven series. The show in question is Blackboard Jungle, and was hosted by Ray D'arcy on RTE 2 Television. It featured two teams of students from rival secondary schools pitted against one another Speaking to 'Off The Ball's' podcast on Newstalk, The Chaser said that while he didn't go on the programme himself, he has a couple of friends who did, and he would love to revisit it. Darragh Ennis. Pic: ITV 'I didn't (go on it). I have a couple of friends who did. I think we should revive that, and they should have me as host,' he stated. 'I think that would be brilliant. So RTE, listen to me. It would be brilliant. All you need is a minibus. 'I would absolutely love it to come back. I think it would be great. And I genuinely, all joking aside, I'd love to do something like that. I'd love to host it. I think it was a great show.' Shaun 'The Barrister' Wallace, Darragh 'The Menace' Ennis, Anne 'The Governess' Hegerty, Paul 'The Sinnerman' Sinha, Jenny 'The Vixen' Ryan and Mark 'The Beast' Labbett. Pic: ITV Last January, Darragh revealed that he was taking a break from filming The Chase, after his father passed away from dementia in July 2024. Fans of the show would have noticed his absence, but he said he didn't realise how he was grieving the loss of his dad, but really he was 'broken inside.' The Chaser, nicknamed 'The Menace', spoke to Loose Women panellists Ruth Langsford, Judi Love, Sally Dynevor, and Kelle Bryan, on the popular chat show back in January and said 'On the Chase, there is a two-minute gap right at the end – the last thing we do is really, really high pressure, just by nature.' 'Normally when I start making mistakes, naturally I'd be able to handle it. I'd just plant my feet in my head psychologically and go, 'I made a mistake' and keep going.' Ennis said the impact of his father's death saw him become 'stressed and camera shy' while 'the pressure overwhelmed him completely'. After this, he said the show's producers offered him time off as well as counselling to deal with his loss.
