Fans Are in Awe After Discovering a Certain 'Love Island: USA' Cast Member Is Actually in a Boy Band
If you have been keeping up with season 7 of Love Island: USA, it's no surprise that the men — Charlie Georgiou, Austin Shepard, Taylor Williams, Ace Green, Jeremiah Brown and Nic Vansteenberghe — are some serious hunks, but based on a bit of social media sleuthing, it looks like one individual is much more than meets the eye: Charlie.
Charlie — the 27-year-old actor from the United Kingdom — entered the villa on day two, quickly exploring a connection with Chelley Bissainthe, but ultimately failing to find sparks. Lucky for the British bombshell, he found said sparks with a late arrival, Hannah Fields, instead, coupling up with the blonde beauty at the re-coupling ceremony on day six.
Outside of the villa, though, Charlie is an actor and a singer/songwriter, sharing a great deal of his music — which he performs with his "cousin and longterm collaborator" — via social media.
"Had a blast getting to share the stage with my cousin & longterm collaborator @Charlie Georgio on our Leicester to London tour 🖤🤘🏼🇨🇾" Charlie's cousin, Harri Georgio, captioned a TikTok video on May 18, 2024.
Even earlier than that, HQ Familia shared a TikTok video on June 24, 2022, which featured Charlie, Harri and a guitarist named Matt Bury performing their tune, "Broken Dreams." "Have you listened to Broken dreams yet?👁 @Charlie Georgio@harrigeorgio@Matt Bury Guitar#studio#fyp#JDSummerDrip#musictok," the caption reads.
Needless to say, Love Island: USA fans had a field day when these videos surfaced on social media. One fan wrote, "He has so much lore I love him," while another added, "This is so random lmfao 😭"
Others praised "Broken Dreams," admitting that they actually like Charlie's music. One shared that the song "lowkey slaps," while another gushed, "why is it lowkey good 😭" and a third admitted, "Honestly kinda boppin ngl lmfao it's catchy 😂😂"
Could a Love Island: USA talent show be in the cards this season? Tune into brand new episodes of Love Island: USA season 7 every day (except Wednesdays) via Peacock to find out for yourself.
If I had to guess, Charlie has it in the bag!

On a spirited Saturday, the Newport Jazz Festival defies labels
Other sets, too, fell squarely inside the jazz firmament. Trumpeter Terence Blanchard (whom McBride called a 'big brother') led his band through an atmospheric set on the Quad Stage inside the Fort Adams walls, drawing on his long track record as a composer for film and television. The young British saxophonist Nubya Garcia brought her big, Sonny Rollins-inspired tone and songs from her second album, 'Odyssey,' to the main stage. And the wonderfully inventive drummer Marcus Gilmore led a band in tribute to his late grandfather, the Boston-born Advertisement That ad-hoc band featured a quartet of ringers, led by alto saxophonist Kenny Garrett and supported by two Berklee College of Music faculty members, the pianist Danilo Pérez and bassist John Patitucci.

Rich Fury/Courtesy of the Newport Jazz Festival But the congenial crowd also heard plenty of sounds that stretched the boundaries of 'traditional' jazz. There was experimental chill-out music, Quiet Storm-style neo-soul, a banging DJ set from a descendant of jazz royalty, and a 75-minute finale from headliner Janelle Monáe that was heavy on the funk. Perhaps the most welcome surprise came from the Fleck, Castañeda, Sánchez Trio, which combined the virtuosic banjo playing of the restless bluegrass mainstay Béla Fleck with the superb drummer Antonio Sánchez, and the Colombian harpist Edmar Castañeda. Castañeda was a revelation. Attacking his instrument with flair and aggression, he's surely been called 'the Jimi Hendrix of the harp' elsewhere. The group call themselves the BEATrio, Sánchez explained, after their respective first-name initials. McBride and Newport Festivals Foundation executive director Jay Sweet have taken plenty of steps to acknowledge the listening habits of the younger cohort of their Newport fan base. Some in attendance seemed eager to see the mononymous Willow, the daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. Anchoring the last set on the Quad Stage, she and her ferocious, mostly women band tapped into '90s nostalgia and the singer's vocal range and dexterity on her latest tracks, including 'home' (co-written with Jon Batiste) and 'symptom of life.' Willow performs on Saturday at the Newport Jazz Festival. Rich Fury/Courtesy of the Newport Jazz Festiva Wearing headphones, the young British rap/R&B singer Samm Henshaw acknowledged that he hadn't performed live in a while. 'So you're all very scary to me right now,' he joked before teeing up some new songs with the crowd-pleasing 'How Does It Feel?,' his 2018 breakthrough. Other relative newcomers included KNOWER, an experimental mashup led by a punky frontwoman (Genevieve Artadi) and a drummer (Louis Cole) who drives the band from drum-and-bass to prog metal, and Rich Ruth, the full-band project of Nashvillean multi-instrumentalist Michael Ruth. Their unusual blend, including xylophone, violin, and baritone sax, resulted in an impressionistic, spacey-slash-spiritual sound that hit a sweet spot around midday. Advertisement The jazz royalty previously mentioned was Flying Lotus, the alter ego of DJ-producer Steven Ellison, who is the grandnephew of Alice Coltrane. FlyLo, as he's known, alternated between deafening video-game glitchery and rump-shaking classics (P-Funk, Kool & the Gang, an isolated guitar rhythm that sounded like KC and the Sunshine Band) at the Fort Stage. 'I don't know if you can tell,' he boomed from atop his perch. 'I'm trying to get you all to dance.' Flying Lotus, the grandnephew of Alice Coltrane, appears at the Fort Stage of the Newport Jazz Festival on Saturday. Rich Fury/Courtesy of the Newport JAzz It worked for him. Monáe, in the day's final slot on the main stage, had to work hard to keep the crowd from streaming toward the lines for the buses and water ferries. Fronting a dapper big band, she leaned into her defiant persona (on recent tracks 'Float' and 'Champagne [expletive]') before shouting out musical greats, from Prince, Nina Simone, and Miles Davis, to Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Bits of reggae, electronica, and James Brown surfaced in her music before an inevitable encore of 'Tightrope,' her biggest hit. Fitting for the setting, she wrapped up with 'Come Alive (War of the Roses),' a song that borrows from the Cab Calloway, call-and-response era of big band jazz. 'Categorize me, I defy every label,' she'd rapped earlier in the set, on 'Q.U.E.E.N.' They could have used that as the day's tagline.

King Charles speaks out after departure of longtime royal companion after 14 years of service
King Charles and his royal staffers have bid farewell to a longtime companion that had worked for the Firm for 14 years. Tyrone, a 19-year-old Windsor Grey horse, spent last week serving His Majesty for a final time — prompting Buckingham Palace to issue a touching statement in light of his retirement. 'After 14 years of noble service with the Royal Mews, we are celebrating Tyrone and wishing him a happy retirement,' the palace wrote on X. 5 King Charles and his royal staffers have bid farewell to a longtime companion that had worked for the Firm for 14 years.

Tyrone, who stands at 16 hands (or 6 feet tall), was described as a 'gentle and dependable giant' in the palace's poignant farewell message. He has now been reunited with his 26-year-old father, Storm, and 20-year-old sister, Meg — both of whom had served the royal family. 5 Tyrone, a 19-year-old Windsor Grey horse, spent last week serving His Majesty for a final time.

He was later trusted with pulling the Gold State Coach for Their Majesties' return journey. The following summer, Tyrone led Princess Catherine and her three children in the Glass State Coach during the Trooping the Colour ceremony. The horse's service kickstarted in 2012 when he pulled the late Queen Elizabeth II's carriage. He later drew Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's royal carriage during their 2018 wedding procession. 5 Tyrone, who stands at 16 hands (or 6 feet tall), was described as a 'gentle and dependable giant' in the palace's poignant farewell message. Instagram/@theroyalfamily As an official 'wheeler,' Tyrone was expected to undertake heavy pulling work while remaining on his best behavior in front of large masses of people. The Windsor Grey has long been preferred by the British royals since Queen Victoria's era, and have attended some of the most important dates in the royal calendar over the decades.
