Love Island's Jacques O'Neill posts snap from hospital amid worrying 'setback'
Jacques O'Neill has opened up from a hospital bed and said he found himself in a 'dark place' after Love Island but that 'every setback' has taught him 'something valuable' Gemma Owen's ex Jacques O'Neill has opened up about his dream of being back in the rugby league while he was sitting in a hospital bed, three years after he followed Gemma into the Love Island villa. Jacques told his followers that, after going on Love Island, he found himself in a 'dark place' but that 'every setback' has taught him 'something valuable'. Jacques shared a photo of himself from the hospital bed with a smile on his face and his thumb up. He reflected on his life in a lengthy caption, as he wrote: "Operation done.. Just as I was starting to get my confidence back and enjoy rugby league again, it's taken away, but that's life." The former Love Island star admitted that he has been 'stupidly' chasing a life that wasn't the right fit for him, but that he is getting back on track. Jacques said: "Four years I stupidly had out the game, being an idiot chasing a life that wasn't for me. The result of that was that I ended up in a pretty dark place and losing myself.' The 26-year-old continued: "I was putting off returning to play because of the comments from others saying I had no chance to play again, saying \he's had too long out' etc, comments about where I was at mentally & physically. "The truth is, I doubted myself too. At first I didn't think I would have ever been able to play again the state I got myself in to. "I remember the first couple of months back driving home from training questioning myself if I still had it in me or not but as soon as I got a good team behind me, got rid of all distractions my mindset started to change.' He continued: "Even though my first season back hasn't gone to plan, I'm grateful for the life lessons I've had the last few years. Every setback has taught me something valuable. It's built me up. Not just as a player, but as a person. I'll be back hungrier than ever." Although Jacques entered the villa after his ex-girlfriend Gemma Owen, the pair had no desire to rekindle their romance, and Jacques coupled up with Paige Thorne. Jacques then decided to call it quits on the villa life after Paige started getting to know bombshell Adam Collard. It was an emotional goodbye, and the islanders were sad to see him go, even Luca Bish, who was coupled up with Gemma at the time. Jacques, who boasts 1.1 million followers on Instagram, regularly keeps his followers up to date on what he is up to, including going on holiday, nights out and workouts.

Gogglebox's Mary Killen admits she's addicted to vaping
Gogglebox fan favourite Mary Killen has revealed that she's become 'addicted' to vaping in her 60s, despite having never smoked a cigarette - as she reveals her plans to quit Googlebox fan favourite Mary Killen has revealed she's become addicted to vaping, despite never having smoked cigarettes. The star rose to fame in 2015 on Channel 4's Gogglebox as she and her husband Giles have the nation in hysterics every week as they sit down to watch the latest TV shows. Despite knowing the ins and outs on their thoughts on the latest episode of Love Island, fans aren't privvy to much of the Gogglebox stars' personal life. However, Mary has now opened up about an addiction she just can't shift - vaping. Mary, who says she was never interested in cigarettes, revealed that she picked the habit up two years ago, when her friends son, James, 22, offered her a puff of his Juul. "I loved inhaling the odourless air and blowing it out again. It just looked so chic and felt cooling in the palm of the hand," Mary wrote in her column for MailOnline. James allowed Mary to keep the vape, and she later found herself buying replacement pods when it ran out. "I reasoned that it would be good if I were to appear to have at least one addiction. "I would be 'levelling myself down', so to speak, in a way that could make me more socially acceptable in drinking circles," she wrote. However, her habit doesn't come cheap, as she explained in her column that she "wastes about £14 a week on four Juul replacement pods." She then questioned how to break the expensive habit, which she also admits self-pitying and argumentative when she runs out. Mary admitted she'd "probably kill or be killed by my family members," if she tried to go cold turkey - revealing that she was going to sign up to a course to help people quit vaping. It's not the only revelation Mary has made in her column. Recently, she told viewers about her controversial sleeping arrangements, telling fans she and Giles allowed the dogs on the bed. Mary and Giles met when they were both 21 years old while Giles was studying at Wimbledon Art School and Mary was working as a model. The pair have been blissfully married for over 30 years, most of which time they have spent living at their cottage in Wiltshire. The stars share two grownup children who prefer to stay out of the limelight. However, it was actually one of Giles' daughters that were originally due to appear on the show with her dad before she backed out at the last minute. After a lengthy phone call to producers, Giles managed to convince Mary to join the show - and the two have become fan favourites ever since their arrival. Little more is known about Mary and Giles' daughters however it has been revealed that they are both grown and no longer live at home with their parents.

Iron Maiden's insanely good Run For Your Lives Tour is a hit-packed metal masterclass with mind blowing visuals
METAL greats Iron Maiden have clocked up half a century of heavy-duty music — but still play like rockers a quarter their age. They kicked off the UK leg of their Run For Your Lives world tour on Saturday to mark the band 's 50th anniversary. 9 9 At one point, guitarist Janick Gers — who is two years off 70 — had his foot up on an amp that was higher than his shoulder. Then he was spinning the guitar around his neck before pointing it towards the sold-out crowd at Birmingham 's Utilita Arena like a weapon, as bassist Steve Harris provided rhythmic perfection next to him. Eddie, the band's mascot, also put in a shift and was stalking across the stage left, right and centre as the metallers thrashed through their 17-song set. Ahead of the shows, frontman Bruce Dickinson promised fans the concerts would 'put a smile on your face and a cheer in your throat'. And Maiden did that in spades. As I stood shoulder-to-shoulder with head-banging fans of all ages, a shirtless man ran from the sound deck towards the front of the stage and screamed: 'I would die for metal.' And I don't doubt it, as the band whipped the crowd further into a frenzy with tracks including Wrathchild, Number Of The Beast, Powerslave and Two Minutes To Midnight. The set list is packed with proper treats for Maiden fans. The band kicked off the show with Murders In The Rue Morgue, then later played Killers — tracks they haven't performed live since their Ed Hunter Tour 26 years ago. Visually, the show was among the most impressive I've seen recently, opening with the backdrop of the old East London streets some of them grew up in. Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson, 66, comes 13th in elite fencing tournament… only losing to Olympic gold medallist Classics such as Run To The Hills had the crowd screaming so loudly their energy seemed to push the band on more. Bruce then dressed as a prisoner sprinting up a staircase, running from a ghost, while Hallowed Be Thy Name played. Epics such as Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son and Rime Of The Ancient Mariner showcased the group's musicianship, before they kicked off the first song of the encore, Aces High. There were mind-blowing visuals of Spitfire battles blasting around behind them. Vocally, Bruce was on fire. 9 9 And given he barely stood still, the show was a masterclass for rising stars who can only dream of emulating the energy and talent he has perfected on stage over the decades. As well as roaring rock, the band made a point of paying tribute to their longtime drummer Nicko McBrain, who retired from touring in December. And they took the opportunity to introduce new man Simon Dawson, who thrashed the skins so hard from start to finish I'm amazed he didn't break his kit. Every show on Iron Maiden's UK and Ireland run is sold out, with the band selling just over a million tickets for the European leg. If you're lucky enough to have a seat at one of the shows, strap yourselves in and get ready for the ride of your life. It is insanely good. DANNY IN THE WIGHT MOOD FRESH from his honeymoon in Greece, The Script's Danny O'Donoghue was still on cloud nine ahead of the group's performance at the Isle of Wight Festival. He said of his romantic getaway with wife Anais Naing: 'I'm blessed. I'm a big history buff and it was gorgeous. 9 'If I wasn't in the band, I'd be trying to be travelling around anyway.' In our exclusive backstage chat, Danny also said his new sober lifestyle had helped him become a better musician, adding: 'I used to get so nervous at festivals. 'There were just so many famous people around and I thought if I got drunk, I'd find some courage. But that never happened. 'I'd have a few beers and l go into myself and want to leg it from the festival. "Although I've made these changes, very few others have, so I still find people I know asleep under tables at these things.' They were joined at the festival by acts including Stereophonics, Busted, Razorlight, Amy Macdonald and Sting – who was spotted jumping on the ferry with punters to get to the island. Last night, Justin Timberlake, Jess Glynne, Texas and Olly Murs rounded off an epic event. SAM NAN ZOMBIE FILM HELP ACTOR Sam Locke's nan was the secret weapon for helping him get a role in Danny Boyle's brilliant new film, 28 Years Later. He makes his big-screen debut in the zombie horror. 9 The Welshman popped in to see his grandparents when the call came to shoot an audition tape, and they sprung into action. Sam said: 'My nan read in for the roles. 'I was sitting with my grandfather and he was telling me, 'If you don't get the role, don't be disheartened'. 'About ten minutes afterwards my agent rang with the confirmation. 'There was a lot of excitement.' Sam revealed he had to be at peak fitness to take on the walking dead, and said: 'Luckily, I'm quite active anyway. 'But we had a week of stunt training and that pretty much trained our endurance. 'It helped us gel together." MILEY POPS UP IN SHOP MILEY CYRUS thrilled fans when she made a surprise appearance at an East London record store. She was joined by Naomi Campbell at the Rough Trade shop. They popped in to sign copies of their single, Every Girl You've Ever Loved, on Saturday. For one night only this Friday, fans can see Miley 's film Something Beautiful, which accompanies her album of the same name, when it hits cinemas. I can reveal she blew the budget on the wardrobe for the production, in which she wears a total of 17 outfits. The film includes videos for every track, along with a cameo by Naomi. Their song has given pals a laugh, as Naomi says the line: 'She never wears a watch, still she's never late' – but the model is notoriously never on time. CHARLI'S DUA DUET DUA LIPA delighted fans at the second night of her Wembley gig by bringing out Charli XCX. Dressed in a white lace bodysuit, Dua beamed as she performed her guest's party track, 360. 9 Meanwhile, Charli kept things more simple with a white top, tiny shorts and sunglasses. Bizarre exclusively revealed last week that Charli was being lined up for a special appearance. Our Jack was in the crowd and he says it was the highlight of the night. After a short break, Dua will play two gigs at Anfield in Liverpool later this week. Meanwhile, Charli headlines The Other Stage at Glastonbury this weekend. TYLA looked sensational on the red carpet ahead of her hosting duties during the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards in LA. The South African singer who will bring her show to the All Points East festival in London in August, fronted the ceremony, where Sabrina Carpenter was the big winner. 9 She took Favourite Song for Taste, Favourite Female Breakout Artist and Favourite Album for Short n' Sweet. Sabrina acknowledged her risque image while accepting the awards in a video message. The chart-topper, who has come under fire for her raunchy outfits and lyrics, said: 'I've always wanted one of these ever since I was a little girl. 'This is so special to me and I just can't thank each and every one of you enough for voting. 'I will continue to make these clean versions of these songs for you.'
