Love Island star ‘gives away' she's signed up for All Stars after split from boyfriend and abuse accusations
LOVE Island beauty Belle Hassan has dropped a major hint she's signed up for All Stars following her split from her rugby player ex-boyfriend.
Belle split from Scotland international Luke Crosbie, 28, in February and claimed she was the victim of emotional abuse.

In a Q&A with fans on Instagram last night, she revealed she can't say much for "legal reasons" but insisted she's never been so happy to be single.
Having 'rediscovered' herself, Belle appeared to confirm a return to Love Island in the New Year.
When a fan asked if she was doing All Stars, she replied with a selfie and a large side eye emoji suggesting wheels are in motion behind the scenes.
Earlier this year, the makeup artist, 27, told fans she'd experienced six weeks of alleged emotional abuse that left her feeling at an all time low.
A source told The Sun at the time: " Belle is no longer with Luke.
"She's back in London while she processes everything that has happened recently and is focusing on her wellbeing after the split."
When a fan asked how she was, Belle wrote: "I'm probably at the lowest point I've been in my life and I genuinely don't know how to pull myself out.
"I can't even pull myself out of bed, and have been like this for about 6 weeks, when I tell you emotional abuse is no joke I mean it!
"I wouldn't wish what has been done to me on my worst enemy.
"For the first time in my life I've been faced with a situation I have no idea how to deal with and I know usually it's me on here giving all the advice but I don't wanna sit here and lie and say I know I'll be fine because this time I'm not sure if I will be.
"I can promise I am trying my best to get better but this one's gna be a process."
The pair became an item late in 2023 just as Belle, who previously dated Anton Danyluk, was asked to sign up for Love Island All Stars.
She called Luke a "gift from the universe" and said: 'He ticks every checklist I have, he's completely my type to a T, personality, looks everything."
Londoner Belle relocated to Edinburgh to live with the sports star and opened a beauty salon in the city.
Luke previously praised Belle for supporting his career and shared details of winning her hardman actor dad Tamer's approval.
He told us: 'She's starting to realise how sore you are after the games!
'She's got a big job keeping me fed but she's doing a good job so far.

'She loves rugby now and her dad loves it as well, and her mum, so they're big supporters.
'I get along well with her dad. He's a tough man, like!
'One of the first times I met him he wanted to make sure I could protect his daughter so it turned into a little sparring match at Christmas. I passed the test!
'You wouldn't hear the end of that if I'd knocked him out!"

Sleep Token: So, there are no hard-rock headliners any more? Nobody told this lot
The rise of Sleep Token has been one of the biggest and most curious success stories of modern rock. The brainchild of masked, anonymous frontman Vessel, with a band of equally enigmatic, numbered musicians, the British collective have turned the art of tease and mystery into a genuine phenomenon that, apparently, has yet to find a roof. They don't give interviews, and what few vague insights they did offer the press in the earliest days comes to about 1,000 words in total. What they do communicate to fans is usually in symbols, or cryptic clues in artwork and lyrics. For 2021's This Place Will Become Your Tomb album, the numbers referenced turned out to be coordinates to places such as the Mariana Trench and Point Nemo, the most remote place on Earth. For all this apparent attempt to shun human contact, they've been greatly rewarded. Their fans are legion, poring endlessly over the band's lore and lyrics, selling out two nights – 'rituals', in Sleep Token parlance – at the O2 in December almost instantly. Last month's fourth album, Even in Arcadia, a genre-crossing mix of heavy, downtuned metal, R'n'B, dreamy pop and vibey electronic washes – went straight to number one in the UK and America, setting records for most vinyl sales for hard rock in the modern era, as well as netting the highest weekly streams. Drummer II will even perform at Black Sabbath's final show in July. On Saturday night, they hit yet another high water mark, headlining the iconic Download Festival at Britain's spiritual home of rock, Donington Park. Where Friday's headliners Green Day gave a masterclass in gigantic stadium rock, Sleep Token deal in something to rival the theatrical bombast and enormous production values of Beyoncé or Lady Gaga. If rock doesn't produce headliners any more, nobody told this lot. Their staging – revealed by a curtain drop that looked perilously close to going wrong – took the form of a massive, multi-level, structure tying in with Even in Arcadia's gardeny artwork, featuring cliffs, ornate archways, a massive doorway, and the band's logo sigil in a dazzling array of lights. Petals rained down non-stop from the roof during the heavy opener Look to Windward, while during Emergence, an actual waterfall began to cascade down the craggy backdrop, fuelled by apparently 60 tonnes of liquid contained in the stage roof. Then there's Vessel himself, cutting a sort of kabuki figure, pacing slowly across the stage in an ornate, armoured robe, with his shredded chest and arms blacked out. He's a curious fellow, leaving most of the grandstanding to his more extrovert bandmates. But this just makes him all the more compelling, even if the recent Top 10 single Caramel finds him declaring, 'This stage is a prison, a beautiful nightmare'. As with the music, his vocals aren't always standard rock fare. Often, he sounds like an otherworldly version of Sam Smith, laced with emotion and frailty when he isn't screaming to the heaviest bits. That they can pull of a show of such magnitude is impressive enough. That they can manage it with their mystique only growing in allure speaks to a band completely assured in what they do. As statements go, it's about the only thing Sleep Token have ever not been coy or ambiguous about. No further dates

Moment 'feral' Brit tries to provoke another passenger on chaotic flight to Ibiza
A 'feral' Brit has been captured attempting to provoke another passenger on a chaotic 'flight from hell' to Ibiza. The altercation reportedly occurred on Jet2 flight LS1181 from Birmingham on Friday after the pilot delayed takeoff by around two-and-a-half hours. Originally scheduled to depart at 6.15pm, holidaymakers were not allowed on board until around 7pm only to be told that there would be further delays. One passenger who witnessed the incident unfold says it was at this point that the flight began to go 'feral'. CJ Edwards posted on TikTok to explain that the passenger, who can be seen in footage wearing a green outfit, decided to drink a bottle of vodka in '10 seconds', resulting in him later screaming in the faces of flight attendants. He was also seen throwing items of clothing at another passenger in the video, which raised tensions before others on board stepped in. Mr Edwards said: 'People were drinking and doing all sorts, and what I want to say is that it wasn't just him. 'There were a lot of things going on. There was a fight on the plane, someone got slapped, someone was sick in the aisles. My friend had sick on his shoe. People were passing drinks over each other. CJ Edwards posted on TikTok to explain that the passenger, who can be seen in footage wearing a green outfit, decided to drink a bottle of vodka in 'ten seconds', resulting in him later screaming in the faces of flight attendants 'There was a lot going on. So when we got on the flight and told we can't move, the guy took his bottle of Ciroc out that he'd got from duty free and, I'm not lying, he's guzzled it down in about 10 seconds.' Mr Edwards said it was at that point he knew he didn't want to be 'anywhere near' the man and moved to the back of the plane to sit with a friend. Despite the pre-flight chaos, Mr Edwards said the plane eventually took off - which flight records say was at 8.44pm - but that that there was a strong amount of turbulence. 'And when it's doing all of this in the air the man is standing up,' he continued. 'He's doing the most. He was coming to the back of the plane where I was, trying to get some drink off people and talk to some guys. 'When the air hostess told him to sit down he's looked in her face and said 'But who are you? Who are you to tell me to sit down?'. 'After all that when we're trying to land he's standing up again. He's in the aisles, moving through. People are trying to get him to sit down and he's not doing it. 'The pilot is on the microphone saying 'to the guy standing up, please sit down'. 'I think the person he was with as well that he ended up slapping them but I'm not too sure. It was the flight from hell.' When returning home after spending 24 hours in Ibiza, Mr Edwards said he saw the man who apologised and blamed his behaviour on frustration at the flight being delayed. He added: 'When I was getting my flight back today I saw him and he was like 'bro I'm so sorry, I was frustrated because I was trying to do 24 hours and my time was delayed'. 'I was just thinking 'your time was delayed like everyone else's, big man'.'

King Charles and Prince Louis's special bond: How cheeky seven-year-old channelled his doting grandfather on the Trooping the Colour balcony
The sweet bond between King Charles and his grandson Prince Louis was once again on show on Saturday as the royals took to the balcony to watch the flyover during Trooping the Colour. While the monarch, 76, is a grandfather of five, it's believed he has a particularly special bond with the Prince and Princess of Wales 's youngest son. And the youngster seemed keen to emulate his grandfather during yesterday's festivities, with video footage from the event showing Louis appearing to copy the way the senior royal was waving while watching the flypast. Lip reader Juliet Sullivan told FEMAIL that His Majesty had a sweet interchange with Louis at one point on the balcony, ensuring he didn't miss out on the action by telling him: 'Louis! Look! The fighter jets!' Meanwhile, adorable video clips and photos show the seven-year-old waving at the crowd in tandem with his beloved Grandpa Wales. The sweet bond between the two royals has long been celebrated by royal watchers. On April 23, 2020 - during lockdown - Clarence House posted a touching picture of Charles hugging his grandson to mark his second birthday. And it appears that King Charles shares one of his special passions with young Louis - it was recently revealed that the soon-to-be-seven-year-old shares his grandpa's love of art. In February, the Princess of Wales shared portraits created by her three children as part of her early years work encouraging parents to draw with their children. And while fans quickly noticed the sheer artistic talent of George who created a line-drawn portrait of his mother sitting in an armchair, it was Louis's attention to detail that wowed. His drawing, which appeared to be drawn in red crayon, featured a beauty spot above his mother's lip on the left side. For more than 50 years, King Charles has used any spare moment he has to create watercolour paintings – some of which have been displayed in exhibitions in London and Australia. He has frequently been seen whipping out his paintbrushes while in Klosters, Switzerland during his family skiing holidays. Previously the chairman of the Royal Collection Trust, Charles has seemingly passed this passion on to young Louis. But the pair are connected not only by their shared interests but their names. Born in 1948, Charles was christened Charles Philip Arthur George. Born 70 years later in 2018, Prince Louis's full name is Louis Arthur Charles. Aside from the obvious use of Charles as a middle name, the name Louis is thought to be a tribute to the King's beloved uncle, Louis Mountbatten, who was assassinated by the IRA in 1979. Although it is normal for senior royals to name their children after other members of the family, it seems Charles is a particularly deserving grandfather. When Prince George was born in 2013, Charles spoke of how 'overjoyed' he was to have become a grandfather. He explained: 'Grandparenthood is a unique moment in anyone's life, as countless kind people have told me in recent months, so I am enormously proud and happy to be a grandfather for the first time.' In a touching tribute to his first grandson, Charles planted trees at Balmoral and called it Prince George's Wood. During a 2018 interview for Prince, Son & Heir – Charles at 70, Queen Camilla said of her husband: 'He will get down on his knees and crawl about with them for hours, you know making funny noises and laughing and my grandchildren adore him, absolutely adore him.' She continued: 'He reads Harry Potter, and he can do all the different voices, and I think children really appreciate that.' In agreement, William described Charles as a 'brilliant grandfather' – although he wished he could spend more time with the grandchildren. Catherine shared a portrait created by Prince Louis as part of her early years work encouraging parents to draw with their children. Fans were wowed by the young prince's attention to detail in including his mother's beauty spot - suggesting he shares an interest in art with Charles 'It's something I'm working more heavily on, put it that way,' William said. 'I think he does have time for it, but I would like him to have more time with the children. 'I think he's… now he's reached his 70th year it's a perfect time to consolidate a little bit because as most families would do, you are worried about having them around and making sure their health's okay. And he's the fittest man I know but equally I want him to be fit until he's 95. 'So, having more time with him at home would be lovely, and being able to you know, play with the grandchildren. 'Because when he's there, he's brilliant. But we need him there as much as possible.' In 2022, the late Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee Celebrations, provided a sweet example of Louis and Charles enjoying each other's company. While watching the Pageant, the young prince showcased an array of amusing expressions as he sat next to his mother Catherine, then-Duchess of Cambridge, in the Royal Box. He was seen clenching his fists, sticking out his tongue, waving his arms in the air, putting his hands over his mother's mouth and standing on his seat for a better view of the spectacle. The restless four-year-old soon became bored with the seating arrangement and asked his father Prince William for 'Pa' indicating he wanted to see his grandfather. When the youngster grew restless during the 2022 celebrations, he sat on his grandfather's knee The restless then-four-year-old appeared to be enjoying himself as he sat beside his grandparents Speaking to MailOnline, expert lipreader Juliet Sullivan revealed William leaned across Camilla to ask Charles: 'Grandpa, can Louis sit on your knee?' to which he replied 'of course'. Catherine stroked Louis's shoulder before he got out of his seat and walked to his left towards his grandfather. The four-year-old prince then sat on Charles's lap who rocked him from side to side, making for some adorable family photos. One royal fan tweeted: 'Prince Charles and Prince Louis have the best bond.' 'Lovely to see Prince Charles in grandpa mode with Prince Louis today!,' wrote another.
