Coronation Street fans 'rumble' who had Logan 'killed' after brutal exit
Coronation Street fans think they know what really happened to Logan Radcliffe and who had him 'attacked' amid speculation he's been killed off after his exit aired Logan in Coronation Street was feared dead on Friday night, after he was seemingly attacked before an exit was confirmed. The baddie appeared to have said too much to Carla Connor during a prison visit, and soon a cellmate warned him he'd been a bit too chatty. Logan looked terrified as he pleaded his innocence, and the cell door closed indicating an attack was about to happen. It comes as Logan actor Harry Lowbridge announced his exit from the show, revealing his final scenes had been filmed and aired. With that, fans were convinced this confirmed that Logan was dead after whatever happened in the cell, with someone organising him being silenced after his comments about a mystery person called Tia Wardley. Carla had been desperate for answers on what happened to her partner Lisa Swain's late wife Becky Swain. Lisa was struggling to move forward, not knowing for sure if Becky was in trouble before her death and why she was killed in a hit and run. As Carla visited Logan for answers about Becky, he demanded £10,000 for information he may have. He then let slip a name, Tia Wardley, while no context was given about who they were or how it was linked to Becky. It was enough to land Logan in trouble with a cellmate over a "mutual friend" he'd upset though, with him clearly needing to be silenced. After the episode ended, actor Harry took to Instagram to announce his exit from the show. Confirming his final scenes had now aired, the ones with the random cellmate, he confirmed post-attack he would not be seen again. With that, fans were convinced Logan was now dead. So was Logan killed for saying too much and who would want him silenced? Who was this mutual friend the cellmate knew, and how are they linked to the Becky plot and the mystery Tia? Viewers think there could be a twist and that the person wanting Logan dead could be none other than former show villain Harvey Gaskell. Others think it's DI Costello or even Lisa's therapist Floyd, given they are keen for Lisa to stop looking into what happened to Becky. Lisa herself was also named as a surprise culprit, while Becky and Tia were also tipped by fans to be the "mutual friend". Taking to social media one fan said: "Lisa definitely had Logan killed in prison." Another fan said: "So that mutual friend? Costello? Kit? Tia? Or Becky herself?" A third fan posted: "Best guess at the moment is Costello or Floyd." A further theory read: "Was the killer sent by Costello?" as another asked: "Harvey???" Another fan commented: "It's ether Costello or Kit got Logan attacked inside."

Love Island's Giorgio reveals secret connection to show finalist as he makes brutal decision
LOVE Island's Giorgio has revealed his secret connection to a current show star. In last night's episode of the hit ITV2 series, ex-Islanders returned to the villa to make a shock decision which led to a dramatic dumping. 5 5 18 former Islanders from this series of the hit show made epic comebacks to boot out one couple and in turn decide the final four couples.

Gio revealed that he had a prior connection to one of the girls in the couples. That girl was Angel. He said how he knew her from the outside and that she had dated a friend of his. Gio then went on to say that he was choosing to vote Angel and Ty as the least compatible couple. Fans were quick to call out how Gio mentioned his connection to Angel, with many baffled by the revelation. "Gio knows Angel??" asked one. Love Island fans work out real reason Dejon apologised for his behaviour with 'pr speech' during very awkward Aftersun "Not Gio calling Angel her full name," said another. "I need to know the gio angel story like there is something more to that, surely…?" asked a third. A fourth then pressed: "So I want to know the Tea between angel and Gio's friend ??" "Gio seems like a honest guy so what's the tea that he knows about Angel. Maybe Ty is not her type," speculated a fifth. Love Island winners - where they are now EVERY year Love Island opens its doors to more sexy Islanders who are hoping for a holiday romance that could turn into more. Here we take you through all of the Love Island winners so far and what their relationship statuses are now: 2025 - The second series of All Stars saw Gabby Allen and Case O'Gorman scoop the crown.

STATUS: Still together. 2015 - Despite poor Jess Hayes being Max Morley's second choice on the show, they did win - but they didn't last as a couple. STATUS: Broken up. A sixth chimed in: "With the way Gio was giving that unnecessary background information on Angel you'd think he was going to save her, very weird." "Gio definitely knows something we don't know about Angel. Same way Ronnie didn't buy Matilda," added a seventh. While an eighth quizzed: "I still don't understand what Angel dating a friend of Gio's had to do with her compatibility with Ty?" As a result of the ex-Islanders' vote, one couple got brutally dumped. And that couple was Meg and Dejon. In tonight's final, the remaining couples will go up against one another for a £50K cash prize and the title of Love Island 2025 winners. The remaining couples are: Toni & Cach; Shakira & Harry; Angel & Ty; and Yasmin & Jamie. 5 5

In a crowded field, Stuart Broad has emerged as Sky Cricket's new all-rounder
An excellent day's cricket that could and maybe should have been a stone-cold classic, superbly covered on Sky Sports, and it fell to the channel's emerging star man Stuart Broad to ask the question that fans were all thinking on Sunday evening when he wondered: 'Still 20 minutes away from possible start time, everyone has their sunglasses on at the train station. Felt the supporters deserved to see a finish to that Test Match today. Felt a lazy decision to call it off at 6pm in my opinion. I wonder who makes it?' Broad was right to query whether the umpires and ground staff could have done more, nailing the key moment of the evening's narrative, and with an eye for the provocative as well: further evidence that he is shaping up to be the complete all-rounder in his media career in a way he once, briefly and thrillingly, threatened to be on the field of play. As long as Varun Aaron doesn't reinvent himself as a TV critic, there seems to be no stopping Broad's frictionless glide towards cricket media world domination. It is to the credit of Sky Cricket head honcho Bryan Henderson and the team that, even in the strongest talent line-up in British sports broadcasting, Broad is already a standout. They had identified Broad while he was still playing, they blooded him during some lower-profile matches with an arm-around-the-shoulder approach and have developed him. It is clear Broad himself has the brains, ego and work ethic to want to get seriously good on the TV. He is also adept at the social media and not shy of putting himself about a bit, be it doing a book called, natch, Broadly Speaking (interested), running upmarket pubs (sure, why not) and flogging his own-label South African rosé (perhaps not). He is already holding his own against quality technical analysts like Ricky Ponting, Nasser Hussain and Michael Atherton, and is also charismatic and telegenic enough to do the more knockabout features as well. There was a fun segment on Sunday lunchtime where Hussain and Broad went around the home dressing room at the Oval, with Broad offering countless little nuggets about which players sit where, who are the biggest bat-chuckers and so on. He pointed out a poster the players attach to the wall to make sure they always feel they are the owners of the space, the home side. 'We take this poster around everywhere… I say we. The team,' said Broad, and then caught himself again when he began to say: 'We have to make – England have to make…' "Stokesy is the messiest by a country mile, Rooty is the tidiest" 😅 Stuart Broad and Nasser Hussain show us round the England dressing room at The Oval! — Sky Sports Cricket (@SkyCricket) August 2, 2025 That said, he doesn't strike you as one of these former players who remains stuck, unable to move onto the next stage of his life, hanging around the dressing room literally or metaphorically like a sad-case sports Fonzie. He is still clearly personally and sportingly close to the current men in the arena but shrewd enough, outwardly anyway, not to seem like he's pining too much for his era, the in-my-day trap that has ensnared many a former great and made them a commentary box bore. Based on what he has said during this series, the telly role has been the ideal soft landing: 'I have walked into a new changing room,' he said of the Sky Studio. 'I am getting into a new groove, improving. I don't miss being in there [the England camp] but I wish everyone the best of luck.' This superb Test match has had a bittersweet flavour because of the celebration and memorial for Graham Thorpe and while his suicide, as all are, sounds like it was multifactorial and complex, cricket lovers might have found themselves ruminating about the huge and distressing changes that these former playing greats have to go through when they are ejected from the only life they have known: being a person, sadly, turning out to be even harder than being a Test cricketer. Sky, as it has done with issues of racism in cricket, leaned into the Thorpe moment with compassion, finesse and heart. Its cricket coverage remains the gold standard and, for this viewer at least, a more enticing proposition for a day's watching than the £185 ticket price for the Saturday at Lord's. A 39th Test match for Joe Root 🙌✨ 🎙️ "A truly magnificent cricketer in the form of his life" — Sky Sports Cricket (@SkyCricket) August 3, 2025 We will no doubt be seeing a lot more of Broad. And, as Atherton reported from the Oval, not just UK viewers: 'A piece of news from Australia that seems to have gone down like a bucket of sick with the locals', that Broad has signed up to commentate for that country's Channel Seven during the Ashes. Atherton reminded Broad that the Brisbane Courier Mail
