The star wrote at the time: "I've struggled to find the words or even choose the pictures for this.

Love Island fans divided as two Islanders axed including 'winner'
Megan Forte Clarke and Remell Mullins were asked to leave the Island tonight after viewers voted for their favourite stars and they came in at the bottom of the list Love Island viewers have been left divided after a dramatic elimination saw two islanders dumped from the villa tonight (June 27), including one half of a couple previously tipped to win the entire series. The public have been voting for their favourite Islanders, and after the results came in, Megan Forte Clarke and Remell Mullins were revealed to be the public's least liked girl and boy in the villa. This meant they were asked to leave the island in the most recent instalment of the ITV reality show. Remell has been tipped to leave Love Island early ever since he stepped out on viewer favourite Alima, but Megan's exit comes as a surprise as only days ago viewers were predicting that she and her partner Tommy Bradley were frontrunners to win the entire series. Bookies indicated they were in the lead, with Betfred offering Megan at 15/8 and Unibet putting Tommy at 7/4 to take the Love Island prize home just last Wednesday (June 18). Fans also thought Megan was destined to be at the Love Island finale with Tommy by her side, as one previously tweeted: "I know Tommy and Megan are on the clear road to win Love Island UK but we actually can't let that happen." Fans have reacted to her exit, with one poking fun at her sudden fall from grace, saying: "Megan really quickly went from Hero to Zero." Another agreed: "Megan deffo had a chance at winning the show if she just stuck with Tommy." Someone else was delighted to see her booted out as a consequence for her actions, and shared: "Megan has been dumped? Thank God. What she did to Tommy was awful." Before she was voted out, Megan's love story took a dramatic turn this week. After being coupled up with Tommy since day one, the 24-year-old Irish beauty sparked outrage among viewers when she shared a secret kiss with fellow Irish islander Conor Phillips while Conor's partner Emily was away from the villa. After Emily returned, she confronted Conor about his betrayal in the Snug. She seemed particularly surprised that Megan had agreed to lock lips with him, saying: "That's quite intense… I thought Megan was more into Tommy to the point where she wouldn't have done that." Later that evening, Conor dropped another bombshell by telling Emily that he would be spending the night with Megan in the Hideaway. In the private bedroom the pair had another smooch, and Conor even gifted Megan his bracelet. Fans were left furious after both Conor and Megan hurt the feelings of the people they were coupled up with. One took to social media to say: "Conor didn't care one bit about dumping Emily. She basically did it without him asking." Another viewer fumed: "OMG not Megan and Conor going to the hideaway MINUTES after dumping Emily and Tommy." Poor Tommy was heartbroken to have lost Megan after going steady with her since the start of the show, and opened up to his friends Harry and Ben, admitting he just wanted to "sit in a quiet corner". Before going into the Hideaway with Conor Megan pulled Tommy for a chat, coldly telling him: "It's nothing against you, but I'm here to explore connections. I didn't have to come and tell you this but I do like you, so I am telling you."

EastEnders star stuns fans as hilarious flag spotted in Glastonbury crowd
EastEnders star Natalie Cassidy was left shocked after she spotted her own face on a flag in Glastonbury, and made fans laugh with her response to the creation online EastEnders star Natalie Cassidy has left fans in stitches after discovering her own face flying over the crowds at Glastonbury Festival, even though she wasn't there in person. Natalie, 42, who plays Sonia Fowler in the long-running BBC soap, took to Instagram after spotting a festival-goer waving a giant flag with her EastEnders character emblazoned on it. The flag read "What doesn't kill you makes you Sonia", and there was a photo of Sonia Fowler pasted underneath the statement. Natalie shared a snap of the flag with her 531,000 Instagram followers, writing: "I will be watching from my living room all weekend but I'm there on a flag so life made. Whoever you are – thank you." Her post quickly sparked a wave of delighted reactions online. One fan commented: "Brilliant! What a moment for you Nat! We need to find who this is!!!" while another wrote: "Well isn't this the best thing on the internet today!!!!" A third chimed in saying: "I actually LOVE this," and one person even joked: "It should replace the Union Jack!" This was probably a welcomed moment of internet attention for Cassidy, who recently found herself forced to tackle a deeply upsetting online hoax. Last week the EastEnders star found a false claim circulating on Facebook that suggested she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. The fake post claimed Cassidy had broken down in tears while revealing a secret cancer battle, and was accompanied by photos lifted from the EastEnders set. Natalie issued a furious statement on Instagram, calling the hoax "disgusting and disgraceful". She told followers: "THIS IS DISGUSTING AND DISGRACEFUL. So many people are going through this and I have had messages asking if I'm ok. It is completely made up and a terrible story. Take this down whoever you are." Fans and fellow celebrities rallied around Natalie, praising her for speaking out against misinformation online. The incident came just months after Cassidy's dramatic exit from EastEnders in April. Her character, Sonia, left Albert Square fashion after discovering that her partner Reiss Colwell was behind a murder she had been arrested for. When her name was cleared Sonia drove off with her sister Bianca and daughters Bex and baby Julia, leaving Walford behind for good. Although she is sadly now gone from the BBC soap, Natalie has been keeping herself busy with new TV projects, which have included hosting a consumer show for Channel 4 and filming a BBC documentary where she trains as a carer. Meanwhile, Glastonbury has been drawing huge crowds this week. Festival bosses were forced to shut down Woodsies tent after a secret set from New Zealand pop star Lorde caused overcrowding chaos. A source told The Mirror: "It's sweltering inside the tent given the amount of people crammed inside. Bosses are urging people to stand up off the floor to make room."
