DUMPED Love Island star Blu has taken one final swipe at Shea after butting heads over who would leave.

The girls made their decisions one by one, until only Shea and Blu remained.
Dejon then received a text which read: "Blue and Shea, you are now single.
"Between you both you should now decided who should stay and who should go."
But both lads were determined to stay and refused to back down.
Blu confidently said: "I ain't f****** leaving," as Shea echoed: "I ain't either."
The Sun then revealed that the pair got into a war of words, with this seen in Friday night's episode before the Islanders were tasked with deciding on who would be dumped from the Island.
Blu was chosen to pack his bags and leave, with him now breaking his silence on what he really thinks about the man who won over the Islanders and was picked to stay.
In his exit Q&A, Blu seemingly took one final swipe at Shea.
"We asked them [the Islanders] for their point of view as we were both really stubborn in that situation.
"We weren't going to budge, so we had to get them to make the decision," he explained.

Then, taking a subtle swipe at Shea, Blu said: "I felt like I had a stronger bond with everyone in there, obviously I'd been there a bit longer.
"I was constantly trying to make a connection and exploring everyone.
"I was making moves as quickly as I could, as opposed to Shea who was a bit more laid back," he slammed.
Blu went on: "Everyone had their own thoughts.
"But listen, someone's got to go at the end of the day.
"The way it went was better than I thought it would have gone; I had some nice things said about me and that meant a lot to me."
The Sun revealed yesterday that Blu and Shea got into a rather tense war of words in the most savage dumping twist ever, before the scenes aired last night.
A villa source told The Sun: 'Things get very heated between Blu and Shea after the savage twist that they have to decide between them who will go.
'Viewers will see it play out in tonight's episode but it's really tense.
'Neither of them wants to back down and while it doesn't get physical, they get into a real war of words and some of the things they said to each other were brutal.
'Neither boy wanted to leave and it's pretty explosive telly.
'Emotions were very high as they have both spent months trying to land their spot on the show, so neither one was going to back down easily.'

Mariah Carey praised for 'best live vocals in years' at Capital's Summertime Ball amid claims she 'isn't singing' on new single and has been 'replaced by AI'
Mariah Carey has been praised by fans as she performed her biggest hits at Wembley Arena on Sunday for Capital's Summertime Ball. The music legend, 56, was one of the headline acts for this year's concert and didn't disappoint. Appearing on stage, Mariah showed off her incredible physique in a figure-hugging black mini playsuit with black tights. Mariah closed the ball, and kicked off her setlist with her 1995 hit Fantasy, before Emotions and Hero. The diva then serenaded the crowd with Always Be My Baby as well as Type Dangerous, Touch My Body and It's Like That. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The All I Want For Christmas singer brought the Summertime Ball to a close with her 2005 single We Belong Together. Reacting to her live performance, Mariah was showered in praise by fans who claimed it was her 'best vocals in years'. Taking to social media, one concert-goer said: 'Mariah at the #SummerTimeBall - best live vocals from her in years…and hit after hit after hit. Bring on Brighton Pride.' A second posted: 'Mariah killed it at the #Summertimeball looking and sounding incredible.' While a third enthusiastic fan wrote: 'MARIAH F****** CAREY What a performance! Omg! NO ONE can say s**t! That voice is HEALTHY, confidence is BACK, and baby that mic was ON!' It comes after fans had claimed Mariah had been 'replaced by AI'. She returned to the music scene with a new rap single last week called Type Dangerous, but a lot of fans have pointed out that Mimi sounds different compared to before. 'Is it just me or it doesn't sound like Mariah at all,' asked one confused listener. 'Is it just me or does Mariah's new song sound like a JLo song? Also… she sounds nothing like herself, the overproduction is weird. Doesn't sound like her even a little,' wrote another. A third wrote, 'Now who is singing bc that doesn't sound like Mariah.' However, other fans argued that the talented vocalist was just using a different style of singing. It comes after Mariah left some of her Australian fans confused after appearing disinterested as she sat down for an interview with The Project. The pop diva gave a series of short answers, sometimes uttering single word reposes in a bored monotone while speaking with host Georgie Tunny. When asked how she handles criticism, Mariah replied simply: 'By not coping is what I do.' After a pause she continued: 'I mean, just don't pay attention to it, you know? And everybody else goes through it, so... whatever.' The singer was also asked what she'd like on her tour rider for her upcoming Aussie tour, to which Mariah oddly replied in deadpan: 'A kangaroo.'

Virgin Island staff 'hit with strict bedroom ban' behind the scenes of Channel 4's raunchy TV hit
It might have been all about first-time thrills on screen, but behind the cameras of Virgin Island, things were far less steamy. While the series followed 12 virgins hoping to ditch their inexperience on national telly, it has been claimed that those working behind the scenes - including intimacy coaches Danielle Harel and Celeste Hirschman - were slapped with a strict sex ban. A source told The Sun: 'Location shoots like this are usually a hotbed for hook-ups. But Virgin Island was no fun for anyone except the virgins. 'Production wanted to make them feel comfortable and unintimidated. 'This sort of crew sex ban is unheard of in the TV world, but is very responsible of Channel 4.' MailOnline has contact Channel 4 for comment. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. It comes after the controversial show broke streaming records and sparked swathes of complaints with its unflinching on-screen romps. The groundbreaking Channel 4 show hit screens in May and saw 12 adults embark on a journey of self discovery and openness to intimacy. Lead by sexologists Dr Danielle Harel and Celeste Hirschman and their team, they guided the group of virgins, aged between 22 and 30, on a unique course. The six-part series quickly became one of the most talked-about programmes of the year and broke records for the broadcaster. Packed with shocking scenes and emotional moments, the series was the biggest streaming hit across scripted and unscripted shows this year for Channel 4. During its first 28 days, Virgin Island's episode one became the most watched show for those aged 16-34 on Channel 4 in 2025. The controversial show attracted a whopping 1.4million viewers per episode on average. Now, it has been confirmed that Virgin Island has been recommissioned for a second series. TV boss Jonah Weston said: 'It's been such a thrill to watch this show catch fire. 'This is a live issue among young people, and from the brave cast to our wonderful experts I don't think I've ever worked on anything quite so bold, warm and well-intentioned. 'Watch out for season 2 which will be bigger and bolder than ever!' While Dave, who lost his virginity on the island to surrogate partner Kat, has urged people to apply. He said: 'I had an amazing time on the Island, and I'm truly thankful for the time I spent there. 'Anyone who has watched the show will have seen how much my confidence grew over the course of the series, and I can't speak highly enough of the experts and production team for making us feel so safe and secure. 'I was lucky enough to achieve the ultimate aim of the series whilst on the Island, and I can't wait to see the next group of participants go on the same journey – I would wholly encourage anyone with enough courage and resilience to apply, it's completely changed my life.' However, the record-breaking show has been hit with controversy too and faced plenty of complaints from viewers. Some felt uncomfortable by the intimate scenes between surrogates and the contributors being broadcast so openly. Before it even hit screens last month some telly watchers were shocked by the concept alone and accused Channel 4 of 'scraping the barrel'. When Dave lost his virginity on the programme those watching at home were delighted for him, but were surprised to see such an intimate moment play out on screen. Sharing their thoughts, viewers said: 'Probably the most uncomfortable viewing. Only lasted 20mins and had to turn it off, felt like I was watching a love cult in action. 'Virgin Island is a hideous concept for a TV show. Why would you agree to go on it, to get exploited, even if you're getting paid!?'; 'Well guys, that's the end of #VirginIsland, it's been... weird.'; 'That Virgin Island is one disgustingly difficult watch man Jesus Christ'; 'Is anyone else watching Virgin Island on Channel 4? I find it so bizarre everyone is so vulnerable and it's just a bit strange..'

Fern Britton's wholesome new life by the sea: How TV star has rebuilt herself as a successful author, shed five stone and embraced a healthy routine in Cornwall as her ex husband Phil Vickery cuts ties after painful end to their 20-year marriage
Fern Britton has undergone quite the life transformation since moving permanently into her Cornish holiday home in Padstow five years ago. Now, favouring a wholesome life by the sea, the TV presenter turned author, 67, spends her days writing novels and working out in her home gym, accompanied by her pet cats Dr Iain Mackerel and Barbara. Following the breakdown of her 20-year marriage in 2020, her life changed dramatically when her ex husband Phil Vickery abruptly cut all contact after the death of both her parents. Fern admitted to experiencing a 'catalogue of difficulty' in the events that followed but has now found peace within her new lifestyle and routine. After 'getting her life back on track' she is now a Sunday Times bestselling author and is an incredible 5 stone down after cutting out sugar from her diet and taking part in 6am gym classes. 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. Novels Fern has long enjoyed storytelling, releasing her first novel New Beginnings 2011, two years after leaving This Morning. But since Covid she has been prolific in her writing, penning Daughters Of Cornwall in 2020 and The Good Servant two years later, with the hotly-anticipated A Cornish Legacy set for release in June. The Sunday Times bestselling author recently took to Instagram to reveal the cover of her new book, which promises another historical adventure on the south-west coastline. In a caption, Fern excitedly announced: 'Hello everyone! I'm delighted to share the cover of my new novel, A Cornish Legacy, out in hardback, eBook and audio in June. 'Enter Wilder Hoo House and discover its secrets! 'Nestled against the rugged Atlantic coast of Cornwall comes a heart-warming story of new beginnings and finding home where you least expect it… 'You can pre-order A Cornish Legacy with the link in my bio! Love, Fern. x #ACornishLegacy' She was soon flooded by encouraging comments from fans of her 10 previous novels, with some gushing about the 'beautiful' cover and anticipating a 'bestseller'. Of her latest book, the star told Femail: 'The headline is, 'A woman who has lost everything is left a house that is falling down. Can they save each other?' I was telling a friend this the other day and she said, 'That's your life.' I went, 'Oh yeah!'' The latest effort comes after she penned The Older I Get…: How I Repowered My Life in November, detailing how she navigated the challenges that had come her way in recent years. The book marked an opportunity to get a lot of her chest after a nightmare three-year spell which included the deaths of both her parents. The TV star lost her mother Ruth in April 2018 before her dad Tony, an actor in films such as The Day Of The Jackal, also passed at the end of the following year. She said last year: 'Looking back I was in a very bad place and gradually I started to pull myself out of it.' Weight loss journey Fern has also been moving on from hard times by working out in her home gym and showing off the incredible results on social media. This week she finally revealed the two life-changing things she has done to lose five stone in weight. The TV presenter has long been open about her weight struggles, having fluctuated between a size 22 and a size 12 over the years. Fern, who insists she has lost weight 'naturally' and without any Ozempic, said all she has done is cut-out sugar from her diet and do 6am gym classes as well as couch to 5K. She told Woman&Home magazine: 'People often wonder when you've lost lots of weight whether you've done it naturally. And I can look at you and say, "Yes, I have"'. Fern reflected on the powerful moment she decided to take back control of her health. She added: 'I had my shoulder replacement 18 months ago, and two-and-a-half years ago, when I saw the surgeon, he said, "I'm going to totally replace your shoulder, I'll see you in a year." 'I thought, "I need to get my life back on track. I need to stop smoking, stop drinking, get eating under control and stop lying in bed feeling sorry for myself". 'So I started the Couch to 5k, took about 80 per cent of the sugar out of my life and started to think about what I was eating, which I had never done before.' Amid her new 'fitness regime', Fern looks to have changed one of her bedrooms into a home gym as a number of different weights sat on the floor in front of her. In a video from January, Fern revealed she was started a new fitness regime which includes running, cycling, walking and lifting weights. She said: 'I've started running again and gone back to couch to 5K. 'New year, new fitness regime. Later on in the year I'll be walking a small leg of the south west coast parts which will take about a week to do. 'I'll be meeting my friend, who will be doing the whole 360 miles of coast, but I'm in training doing some walks throughout the week and wearing a rucksack with some weight in it and wearing my boots to wear them in. 'I shall start running again, two or three times a week and I'm going to start cycling again and will do some weights to get my arms and shoulder a bit stronger again.' Fern has had an amazing journey with her weight, undergoing a gastric band procedure back in 2006 which saw her go from a size 22 to 12 having shed five stone. She has continued to slim down since with her dedication to working out in her home gym, taking on the Couch to 5k challenge which led to her becoming a regular runner and cutting out one hugely-unhealthy habit. Fern looked incredible on This Morning in 2024 (pictured, left) showing off her weight loss, having worked hard in the gym over the last few years (pictured, right: Fern in 2022) Following Couch to 5k, the author stuck to running three times a week for around 45 minutes each time and also loves a bike ride She is also a fan of bike rides, yoga and long walks. Following Couch to 5k, the author stuck to running three times a week for around 45 minutes each time. Once given the OK to lift weights again following a shoulder injury, the presenter said she was also keen to get back to the gym. To improve her diet, she began eating more protein and vegetables, choosing healthier options over unhealthy snacks. She acknowledged the benefit, saying previously: 'I once again found the feeling of satiety. 'The thing in your brain that tells you that you are full. I'd been first class at overriding that for quite a while.' Fern added: 'If we can manage to consume a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins and healthy fats, while minimising processed foods, sugars and excessive salt, we'll be doing ourselves a real favour in the long term.' Late last year the presenter opened up about lockdown when some traumatic events led to her overhauling her lifestyle. Fern previously revealed she soon found herself struggling to find the point of getting out of bed and began smoking, drinking and eating badly. The star then noticed the physical side effects starting to have an effect on her health as she realised she had gained weight and was having problems breathing. She added: 'Looking back I was in a very bad place and gradually I started to pull myself out of it.' Fern even revealed that one night it all came to a head as she decided to quit smoking after too many cigarettes led to her pulling over mid car ride to throw up in a field. She now has regular therapy sessions and is exercising again. Family Fern was left devastated after she and Phil broke up following 22 years of marriage in 2020, with ensuing Covid lockdowns only accentuating her loneliness. The television presenter became divorced from the TV chef, 64, in 2020 after two decades together. The split followed the deaths of Fern's parents, which reportedly caused the pair to realise that they had to 'follow their own paths'. Now in a new interview, Fern has said that Phil stopped talking to her after her mum died. Previously they were reported to have maintained a 'basic' level of communication after they split. In an interview with Yours magazine, Fern admitted: 'He hasn't spoken to me for six years now. As soon as my mum died, he stopped talking to me.' A representative for Phil has been contacted by MailOnline for comment. The Celebrity Big Brother 2024 contestant insists she tries 'very hard' to not 'bad-mouth' Phil for the sake of their 23-year-old daughter Winnie. Fern shares twin sons Harry and Jack, 31, and daughter Grace, 27, from her first marriage, to Clive Jones, and daughter Winnie with ex Phil. She said: 'Winnie adores him. I'm not going to bad-mouth him in front of her; at least, I try very hard not to. I was the child of divorced parents and my mum never bad-mouthed my father.' During an appearance on James Martin 's Saturday Kitchen recently Fern said that 'life is good' as being a single woman meant there was now nobody there to judge her. She revealed: 'I can sit down in the morning and watch all the daytime television I like. No one's going to judge me for it, I don't have to get dressed up and made up.' A few weeks prior, the happy trio were together once more and all flashed beaming smiles as they posed for a picture She went on: 'I am my own boss now, which is great, in every sense, my life my work, everything, I'm my own boss and I'm enjoying that.' The former This Morning star is now kept company by her two cats Barbara and Dr Iain Mackerel, posting loveable pics of the pair to her Instagram - whenever they can sit still, that is. In a recent snap, Dr Iain could be seen taking a morning nap after a busy night, stretching out on the sofa much to the delight of Fern's Instagram followers. She captioned the post: 'Dr Iain Mackerel has been on a late shift and just come home for a hearty breakfast and snooze. He says Hi ! X' Barbara meanwhile can often be spotted underneath the couch or by the fireplace, in what is clearly a very cosy environment at the Britton household. Last year Fern, who also shares twins Harry and Jack, 29, and Grace, 26, with first husband Clive Jones, admitted she 'lost herself' and struggled to cope after her divorce from Phil. Speaking on Morning Live, Fern said: 'The last seven years have been tricky. I lost my parents, I got divorced, the pandemic, and then I kind of lost myself.' She continued: 'I really wasn't coping well with that stuff - I was eating too much, I wasn't exercising. 'Not doing very well. And then I thought, I've really got to get the power back in me, and then I had the thought of this word - repowering.' Opening up on her dating life, Fern added: 'We've got the power. You look back and when you were younger, everything was fun. It was proper stuff - now it's all swiping, and I hate it, and I'm not going to do that. 'It was such a fun time going to parties, and you were excited to meet strangers. I don't want to meet strangers anymore, I don't want to be invited to huge parties.' Fern also receives regular visits from her daughters Winnie and Grace, heading to Looe for some lunch earlier this month and posting an adorable snap of them all together. A few weeks prior, the happy trio were together once more and all flashed beaming smiles as they posed for a picture.
