Love Island shake up as couple SPLITS, four islanders head to the Hideaway and bombshells cause chaos in villa
LOVE Island is in a big shake up, as a couple splits, four islanders head to the Hideaway and bombshells cause chaos in the villa. It's only t he third night, but it seems things are about to heat up even more on the summer series of Love Island. 6 6 6 But first, a split hits the villa as Ben and Toni fail to achieve a romantic spark, with him even saying she's 'given him the ick.' It all occurs after Sophie Lee leaves the villa, leading American bombshell Toni to say to the Islanders: 'Boys, it's your turn, just saying - I don't think you're gonna be safe.' Ben, who is coupled up with Toni after she stole him from Shakira, then says: 'Are you saying me in particular?' To which Toni replies: 'No it's about boys, not everything is about you.' Ben then storms off, which raises a lot of eyebrows, as Meg later tells him: 'That was a bit much…I don't get what she said that was really offensive?' Ben explains that he 'got the ick,' after Toni told him: 'Not everything is about you.' Toni ends up catching wind of the conversation, and questions Ben, asking: 'I've heard from people you said I'm giving you the ick?' As things cool off between Toni and Ben, it looks like he's still got his mind set on Shakira, as he pulls her for a chat in the 'no invite needed' Hideaway wanting to let her know what he's thinking. He ends up admitting to the brunette beauty that he likes her, but she says he 'needs training.' And they're not the only two Islanders who head to the Hideaway in the upcoming episode. Helena and Harry head to the Hideaway for a chat, making jokes about what the Hideaway has to offer. Helena tells him the rules of the private area saying: 'At night time you can sleep in the bed with someone you're not in a couple with.' Harry laughs: 'So there might be a bit of corridor creeping tonight.' Harry and Shakira later debrief about the chat, with the footballer admitting he and Helena like a flirt. He says: 'Yeah, she is…we flirt, I think you know and that's ok.' Shakira replies of Helena's flirting efforts: 'Fair play girl.' And then just to keep viewers on their toes even more, two new male bombshells enter the villa. Semi-pro footballer Shea Mannings and fitness influencer Remell Mullins will be seen on screen tonight, and they mean business. They greet the girls by the firepit, as the boys watch on from the terrace. And they girls fill them in on their current couples. Toni asks them: 'So what's your plan coming in here?' Remell teases: 'I'm not gonna say too much about myself because I've got to ease in where I'm at…' Alima jokes: 'We'll see!' Harry notices Remell taking a liking to Alima saying: 'He's on Alima!' They then invite the boys down to meet the new bombshells and it's time for the first game - dares in a box. But while the bombshells cause a stir, something else causes an even bigger one, as an unexpected couple head into the Hideaway later that evening. Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX 6 6 6

Amy Childs poses in a brown cut-out swimsuit while Lauren Goodger sports a stylish cover up as they film new series of TOWIE in Portugal
Amy Childs and looked incredible as they filmed the new series of TOWIE in Portugal on Tuesday. The Only Way Is Essex stars Amy, 34, and Lauren, 38, were two of just eight stars who filmed the very first episode of the show in 2010. Amy made a return to the show in 2021 and Lauren followed suit last year, joining her as they both navigate the constructed reality programme as mothers. She slipped into a racy brown cut out swimsuit and mesh green cover up as she enjoyed the sunshine, while Lauren sported a multi-coloured cover up. The cast are currently in Portugal to film the upcoming series, which marks the 15 anniversary of the show. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Last month Amy revealed the real reason behind her extreme weight loss after calling off her wedding to her fiancé Billy Delbosq. Addressing the weight loss and cruel trolling she's received as a result of the weight loss in an emotional interview with OK! Magazine she said: 'I'm going through so much at the minute that the weight has fallen off me. 'I worry about my mum constantly. She's very emotional – she thinks she's going to have another heart attack.' 'People think I'm not eating, but I do eat. To be honest, I do feel better when I'm a bit heavier than I am at the moment. There's so much going on at the minute – it's the result of pure stress. We're also having renovations done in the midst of parenting four kids.' Amy added: 'But I'm strong, I've been in this industry for 15 years. I've had lots of people concerned about me, which I completely understand, but yes, people can be so quick to judge.' Amy also explained how she once tried using weight-loss injections 18 months ago, but it made her 'so ill she threw up three or four times'. However the star appeared in good spirits as she commenced filming and enjoyed lunch with the cast. TOWIE - which is one of ITVX's most streamed titles with 66million streams in the last 12 months - is back with the brand new series airing on ITV2 and ITVX later this year. Lauren revealed last month that she is having her 'heavy' breast implants removed and can't wait to go back to a 'natural look'. She admitted her breast were 'perfect' before although now they simply 'make her look big' while opening up about her breast-reduction journey on Instagram on Monday. She wrote in the lengthy caption: '11 years ago I had a breast augmentation, one of the things I regret later in life. 'I had the perfect boobs .. they have been great over the years but since being a mum and breastfeeding for 1 year they have now changed and I've always found they make me look bigger! 'Also they are heavy and I don't like the idea of an implant being in me all these years and I miss my old boob so much.. so after looking around I've found someone that I feel really keen with having my consultation with @marksolomos 'This is a HUGE step for me I've wanted to have them removed for so long but suffering with serve anxiety surgery is the last thing I can do ! So it's early stages but I am bringing you a long with me! 'I'm terrified but also for health reasons I'm having implants removed and bring back more to my normal self wanting to reverse everything back to natural.'
