Love Island viewers praise Yasmin Pettet and her 'messy' antics as they vow to keep her in the villa so she can keep making great TV
Love Island viewers have heaped praise on Yasmin Pettet as they vow to keep her in the villa so she can keep making great TV.
The bombshell, 24, has been causing quite the stir in the villa as she has not held back when exploring her connections with Harry Cooksley and Dejon Noel Williams while coupled up with Shea Mannings.
And one of her most recent antics involved getting close to Harry, who is coupled up with Helena Ford, in the Hideaway which involved a very steamy display from the pair.
While chatting to one another, Yasmin said: 'I'm just waiting for you to just shut the f**k up and kiss me' to which Harry replied, 'really? come here then'.
And ITV viewers have loved watching her antics in recent days as they flocked to social media to praise her for entertaining them.

One penned: 'Is Helena fr? Yasmin has shown more entertainment in 1 day that you have in the past 4 days. #LoveIslandUK #loveisland'
'Sorry but Harry and Yasmin are literal demons. They are made for one another. #LoveIsland'
'Yasmin is such good tv. we acc have to keep her here #LoveIsland'
'it's def just sexual attraction with yasmin and what's his name but as long as it bothers helena keep it going #loveisland'
It wasn't the first time Yasmin had locked lips with Harry and other boys in the villa.
Islanders got stuck into a game of Beer Pong on Wednesday's episode which involved them guessing who made certain comments pulled out of a box.
Despite being coupled up with Shea, Yasmin kissed two other boys during the course of the game - leaving him not best pleased during tonight's instalment.

When she pulled him for a chat around the fire pit to check in, he said: 'You made me look like a mug.'
Yasmin replied: 'Yeah, that wasn't my intention, it was just a game that I felt everyone else was playing way too safe.'
He was also not too happy with the lads - who he heard laughing as he headed over to talk to Yasmin about what happened.
As Dejon - who Yasmin kissed during beer pong - admitted he laughed at his expense, Shea said: 'I've been made to look like a bit of a mug and I'm hearing laughing…
'Have some class, I thought we was all boys.'
But Dejon was not laughing for long as there was trouble in paradise for him too.
He faced his own tough conversation with Meg, who he has been paired with since the launch show.
He told her: 'You blow my mind, I'm so confused… your dare was get in a sex position. You could have picked me and you picked Harrison...'
Of her choice to select the new bombshell boy instead, Meg replied: 'I can pick Harrison because it's a joke.'
And she later added: 'You told me I'm your number one priority… I don't know where I go from here. I'm taking a big step back.'
Love Island fans were left cringing over a toe-curling chat between Dejon Noel-Williams, Toni Laites and Yasmin Pettet, as talk in the villa once again turned to a threesome during Wednesday's episode.
While the ITV2 show is known for its racy moments, this exchanged proved too much for some fans, who admitted they were 'uncomfortable' about the chat.
Despite the fact that Dejon's partner Meg Moore had already been left upset by Yasmin and Toni's previous threesome chat, the conversation returned to the topic in Wednesday's episode.
Toni made a jaw-dropping confession about enjoying a threesome with a 'p**n star and an NFL player,' leading Dejon to say: 'You know what really gets me going? It's simple but kissing, that really gets me going.
'I love talking, you know when someone's talking dirty to me, I love that.'
Yasmin admitted: 'It comes out in the heat of the moment. You're in the right place my friend, this is a safe space!' leading Dejon to declare he 'just loved sex.'
As Yasmin cheekily said: 'You are good-looking! We were already in your head honey!' Dejon admitted he needed to leave the conversation.
The racy chat left some fans with a toe-curling reaction, with comments including: 'This conversation between Toni, Yasmin and Dejon is making me extremely uncomfortable;'
'Yasmin, Toni and Dejon are unreal. I can't believe my ears;'
'Omggg I can't do this Dejon x Toni x Tasmin convo, how did I use to watch Love Island season 2/3 with a straight face at like the age of 10;'
'Toni and Yasmin are on the wrong show. They need to go on Temptation Island or Too Hot To Handle.'

Despite the fact that Dejon's partner Meg Moore had already been left upset by previous threesome chat, the conversation returned to the topic in Wednesday's episode
Chat of the threesome had already annoyed Meg the previous day, so she was visibly furious when she learned from Dejon that Toni and Yasmin had once again broached the topic.
While Toni was quick to state there was no real chance of them having a 'f*****g threesome,' Meg hit back: 'It's just a respect thing.'
Toni noted that the issue was something Meg needed to discuss with Dejon, but she was quick to end the chat.
Yasmin noted that Dejon 'hadn't done anything wrong,' and insisted he had been 'so open and so honest' during their exchange.
Viewers seem to take Yasmin's side, with some calling out Meg for holding 'conferences' with Dejon each and every episode.
Love Island continues on Thursday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

OCCUPATION: Las Vegas Pool Cabana Server
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? I'm looking for darker hair, definitely muscular but not too muscular. Super fit. Clean hair cut. Someone that can make me laugh - I'm super outgoing. And someone that's quite active. Maybe one day we could start our own family together.
I WANT TO DATE A BRITISH GUY BECAUSE... I've lived in three different states and I'm still single. It's time to try something new! I have some British friends and they're pretty charming. I think all Americans love a good accent. British men are just more polite, with better manners.

AGE: 22
OCCUPATION: US college soccer player and student
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? Personality is a big thing, so it depends who I vibe with in there.
WHAT'S YOUR BIGGEST ICK? I don't like it when girls have celebrity crushes. If I'm with a girl I want them to have eyes for me, not talking about another guy when we're watching a film, ha!

Sophie Monk's husband Josh Gross reveals what it's REALLY like to be married to one of Australia's most famous women
Sophie Monk 's husband Josh Gross has opened up about what life is really like when your partner is one of the most recognisable faces in the country. The American-born tech entrepreneur, who married the Love Island host in 2022, told Daily Mail Australia he's happily embraced life in the background – swapping boardrooms for beach shoots and robotics for red carpets. 'I feel like the luckiest guy in the world. One minute I'm working from home, next I'm on the Gold Coast filming a movie or in Spain filming Love Island,' Josh began. 'Life with Soph is never dull and I wouldn't change a thing.' Josh, who met Sophie on a long-haul flight from Europe to Australia in 2018, said the transition into fame-by-association wasn't something he planned. 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. 'I don't really live my life in the spotlight. That's the beauty of being behind the camera. I've always liked it that way, supporting from the background and capturing the moments,' he said. While he prefers to stay out of the spotlight, Josh has unwittingly become a familiar face on red carpets and social media – often spotted snapping glamorous photos of his famous wife. 'Sophie is incredibly beautiful and photogenic, so if the photo isn't great, it's on me,' he quipped. 'She's got a sixth sense for her best side, and I've got a mental checklist every time I pull out the phone. Lighting matters – golden hour is magic,' he said. 'Don't be afraid to crouch, climb or contort to get the shot. With the right phone camera, you can nail it on the first try – and rack up serious brownie points too.' He also revealed a little known fact about his reality TV star wife. 'What you see is what you get with Soph... I think she's a lot funnier than what people realise. She's my best friend and we laugh a lot,' Josh said. Despite the scrutiny that often comes with dating a celebrity, Josh says the public have only ever shown warmth towards Sophie – and to him by extension. While he prefers to stay out of the spotlight, Josh has unwittingly become a familiar face on red carpets and social media – often spotted snapping glamorous photos of his famous wife Sophie and Joshua wed in a private ceremony at their Central Coast, NSW home in 2022. Speaking to Stellar Magazine, Sophie called the small wedding 'beautiful and relaxed'. She added that she chose to have a wedding at home to keep things 'stress-free' while Joshua called their private home 'our sanctuary' and was glad to make wedding memories that will last a lifetime there. Another reason they chose to have a wedding on their own was because Sophie was happy to keep the guest list to a bare minimum. 'We figured, if you don't invite one person, then no-one could get upset,' she told Stellar. She designed her own dress, and gave J'Aton Couture just two weeks to create it based off her own sketches. The couple first met on a flight from Europe to Australia in August 2018 and shared a kiss after enjoying 'three champagnes' in business class.

Naga Munchetty seen arriving at BBC studios after allegations she BULLIED a junior staffer & ‘made an off-air sex jibe'
PRESENTER Naga Munchetty has been seen arriving at the BBC studios this morning following allegations she bullied a junior staffer. The star, 50, was reprimanded by bosses over two incidents in a three-year period - including for allegations she made an off-air sex jibe. 5 5 5 Today, Naga was seen opting for the backdoor as she arrived at the BBC Breakfast studio in Salford, Manchester, this morning for her regular slot. The star, who has been a staple on the broadcaster's flagship breakfast show since 2010, has found her self at the centre of a toxicity row. On top of the alleged tensions between presenters, the show's editor Richard Frediani has now taken leave amid separate bullying claims. Just this week, Naga was revealed to have been spoken to by bosses over two separate incidents in three years. The star is said to have used a crude slang term for a sex act during an off-air break on a BBC Radio 5 Live show — before asking a colleague if they had done it. The alleged remark stunned the studio and led to Naga being hauled before bosses. She was reprimanded by a senior producer but no formal action was taken. The comment became widely known at 5 Live, with one source describing the 2022 incident as: 'Crass, inappropriate and wildly unprofessional. The person felt embarrassed.' The Sun also revealed today that on BBC Breakfast last year, Naga was rapped for the alleged bullying of a woman, who was the most junior staffer on the show. As part of the bullying behaviour, the star is said to have falsely accused her of stealing, which led to a closed-door showdown. The source said: 'It was humiliating. There was no evidence, no apology. The woman left not long after, completely demoralised.' Another insider added: 'That wasn't an isolated incident. It really is the tip of the iceberg.' Naga is the first female presenter to be caught up in the series of scandals which have gripped the Beeb. Strictly's Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima had to leave over bullying claims, and Wynne Evans quit the live tour over the word 'spitroast', which can be a sexual reference. But the BBC is now facing questions of double standards. A Breakfast insider said: 'If a male presenter made a sexual comment like that or falsely accused someone of theft, he'd be out the door. But with Naga, it gets brushed off.' 5 5 A BBC spokesperson said: 'While we do not comment on individual cases, we take all complaints about conduct at work extremely seriously.' Breakfast is already in turmoil amid claims of a 'deeply divided workplace' and off-air tensions between Naga and co-host Charlie Stayt. The flagship show's editor Richard Frediani is at the centre of a formal bullying investigation, as we revealed on Monday. Yesterday, it was confirmed the BBC was conducting an internal review into his behaviour and general allegations of toxicity on the show. An internal email was sent to the BBC Breakfast team thanking them for their 'professionalism' as they continue their work amid the row.

Kelly's other tips include:Put a wristband with your mobile number on your child's wrist (or pick one up from the kidzfield)Create a meeting point in each spaceTake ear defenders for childrenAvoid big acts on small stages as crowds are overwhelming. If you go, stay at the back where there is space to danceSee as much as possible with your children. Kidzfield, Greenpeace, Glastonbury-on-sea, circus and theatreExplore the South-East corner during the day – there's lots of great stuff to see there and you'll avoid the crowds.

"When Lexi was tiny she loved being in the carrier and we could just take her everywhere with us - even dancing," she said a solid pushchair is also a must and that the festival's Little Kids R&R tent is "amazing" as it has facilities for children and babies with bottle cleaning, sterilising and baby changing. Melissa's other tips include:Let the kids explore - there's so much for all the senses with the Kidzfield, circus, theatre and cabaret and "the pier is like another world"Take snacks - lots of snacks!

Vicky's tips include: Be flexible - you never know when children may have a meltdown or need the looTake food, snacks and easy breakfast things - we took porridge pots which means they started the day with full belliesIf you want to see bands, take games, sticker books and colouring books so the children have something for when they get boredAnd, she said, see the festival through your children's eyes. Her four-year-old daughter watched the Foo Fighters and Guns N' Roses and now wants to join the rock band at school and play the drums. "It inspires them to do things they wouldn't do otherwise," Vicky added.
