Toni and Cach reveal surprising plans for £50k Love Island prize which sets them apart from other Islanders
The lovebirds, both 24, instead have far more humdrum things in mind for their loot.

Toni, who is a Las Vegas cabana waitress, said: 'I need to pay off my student loans. I want to invest it. I don't want to go on some crazy shopping spree.'
Cach, a dancer from London, agreed: 'Cost of living crisis, I'll save it!'
It comes despite making history, with American Toni being the ITV2 show's first ever international bombshell to win.
She entered on the first night of this summer's series and coupled up with Cach a month later, during Casa Amor.
Toni said: 'I feel like I'm representing a whole nation! I didn't expect to make it past week one.
'Hopefully now we will just find time to enjoy one another's company and not let everything else take over.'
Cach added: 'It feels amazing to win. I was 100 per cent authentically myself and luckily the public liked it, so I'm buzzing.
'I appreciate every moment on the show, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I wouldn't have done it any other way.'
Toni will be remembered as one of the series 'Big Three' - a name coined by fans for her trio of friends, with Shakira Khan and Yasmin Pettet who came second and third respectively.
Toni added: 'Friends I will have for life. That was a big takeaway. The girls were my rock for the eight weeks.'
Cach and Toni WIN Love Island and bag £50k as raunchiest ever series ends
She'll be spending more time with Cach than the girlies, though, as I can reveal ITV are set to offer the couple a spin-off show which follows their transatlantic relationship as they navigate love outside the villa.

A source said: 'Even without the win, Cach and Toni's story should make great TV just due to their exciting lives. It will also be a chance to include Shakira and Yasmin when they visit Toni and catch up on the outside.'
Shakira, 22, had a rocky journey in the villa but came runner-up with bad boy Harry Cookesley, 30.
She said: 'The best romance of the series for me is Toni and Yas. Absolute weapons. I love those girls to bits.
'They will be bridesmaids at my wedding and godmothers of my children. I couldn't have done a day without them.'
No mention of Harry, there, though… probably for the best.
Rob just boobed with Liz

Rob Rinder 's first meeting with Liz Hurley ahead of their new Channel 4 reality show The Inheritance saw her accuse him of speaking to her boobs.
The series, out later this year, sees Liz play the dearly departed glam benefactor of a fortune stashed in a stately home, where 13 contestants compete for it while Rob acts as executor.
He told the That Gaby Roslin podcast: 'When Elizabeth and I met, she was magnificent, she is the person a young gay man would want to marry before realising he would have to do geography he wasn't interested in.
'She was wearing this gold magnificence which she is wearing in the [show] promo in the coffin.
"I started talking and she said, 'Are you talking to my breasts?' I said, 'Yes, actually I am'.
'Well, it would be absurd not to, since they are there. I mean, 'Are you looking at the Alps?!''
Prime Video thriller The Terminal List: Dark Wolf drops on August 27. The prequel comes three years after the hit first series and focuses on the backstory of Ben Edwards, played by Taylor Kitsch, who served alongside Chris Pratt's Navy SEAL character James Reece.

Gregg Wallace's replacement for final MasterChef episodes revealed
Gregg Wallace is set to be replaced by Irish chef Anna Haugh towards the end of the new MasterChef 2025 series. This decision follows an independent report substantiating 45 allegations against Wallace, including inappropriate sexual language and unwelcome physical contact. Co-host John Torode also had an allegation of racist language upheld against him, which he denies recalling. The BBC controversially decided to broadcast the 2025 series, stating it was to recognise the efforts of the amateur cooks involved. Anna Haugh will take over from Wallace after the semi-finals, while Grace Dent has already replaced him on the next series of Celebrity MasterChef.

Tommy Fury cosies up to Molly-Mae and Bambi on family holiday after she revealed reason they don't film together
Tommy and Molly-Mae recently confirmed their reunion after splitting last year Tommy Fury cosies up to Molly-Mae and Bambi on family holiday after she revealed reason they don't film together Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TOMMY Fury cosied up for a family snap on holiday - after Molly-Mae revealed the reason they don't film together. The couple met and got together while appearing on Love Island in 2019. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Tommy Fury shared snaps of his sunny holiday in Turkey Credit: Instagram 3 It includes a sweet photo with Molly-Mae and daughter Bambi Credit: Instagram 3 The couple welcomed Bambi back in 2023 Credit: Instagram In 2023, the pair welcomed a new addition - daughter Bambi - into the world. Taking to Instagram, Tommy shared a series of snaps from the trio's sunny holiday in Turkey - including one of them all cosied up. He captioned: "One of the best trips ever." One follower commented: "These photos are so special." Another added: "Bambi looks sooo happy as do you all, lovely pics." A third shared: "Good seeing you back where you belong lad." It comes as Molly-Mae revealed why Tommy doesn't feature in her YouTube vlogs. Fans had claimed that Molly's sister Zoe, 28, is more of a father figure due to her regular appearance in the videos. Molly-Mae explained: "I've seen so many comments saying 'Zoe is more the dad' I only vlog when I am not with Tommy, I am with Tommy literally 80% of the week and he is with Bambi majority of the week. "But I vlog when we are here and he is at his because it's just something that I am not ready to like open up with yet and like flinging the camera around like when we're a family. Molly-Mae admits real reason she's not filming with Tommy Fury after breaking down in tears on camera "I just think like we're not there yet and still figuring out life and living situations. I'm not ready to vlog like we used to." The couple only recently confirmed their reunion after splitting last August. Their relationship story featured in Molly's recent Amazon documentary where she talked about their New Year's Eve kiss, which began feverish speculation that they were back together. They are now working hard to put past cheating allegations and Tommy's alcohol-fuelled partying problems behind them. A source previously told us: 'It sounds extreme, but Molly feels much more reassured when Tommy checks in. "It all helps with trust, honesty and transparency between the two of them. 'Tommy dutifully phones Molly the minute that he arrives anywhere. 'And then she likes him to also show her where he is. 'This has been going on for months now, and Tommy's friends are impressed that he has agreed to it whole-heartedly.'

With TWO disgraced presenters, BBC decision to air MasterChef is an insult to all of us and a slap in the face to everyone who has been belittled and abused on the show, says CHRISTOPHER STEVENS
How bad do things have to get before the BBC does the right thing and bins MasterChef? The return of the long-running culinary contest, after the sacking of its disgraced presenters Gregg Wallace and John Torode, is an insult to licence-payers and a slap in the face for all the participants and crew who have been belittled and abused over the years. Series 21 is to air in full, supposedly because cancelling it would be unfair to this year's 60 contestants – even though one of them, Sarah Shafi, called for it to be axed. Instead, she was edited out of the show, a move that left her 'flabbergasted'. After watching the first episode, I'm flabbergasted too. It's as though the production company, Banijay, has watched the playbacks and thought: 'Don't panic! There's at least an hour of footage where Gregg has his trousers on and John says nothing racist. We're good to go!' If you've sidestepped the furore leading up to this broadcast, you might suppose I'm being facetious. But the extraordinary truth is that, following multiple complaints, Banijay carried out an investigation into Wallace's behaviour. The majority of the 83 allegations against him related to 'inappropriate' sexual language and humour – though that raises another question of whether the producers think sexual remarks and jokes are ever appropriate on a TV set. Perhaps they don't understand that 'food porn' has nothing to do with nudity. Wallace certainly didn't. Of the 45 complaints against him upheld, one related to 'unwelcome physical contact' and three to being 'in a state of undress'. In the course of their enquiries, Banijay also learned that Torode had used a racist slur. Despite protesting their innocence, both men were dropped from the show... and yet, here we are, with Wallace and Torode once again the judges. I do not believe for a second that BBC executives feel compelled to air the series as a favour to contestants, as the Corporation has suggested. The TV industry is not that sentimental. It's much more likely to be about money. The Beeb has paid for MasterChef and now it wants its pound of flesh, lightly seared and served on a bed of herby potatoes with a scatter of grated walnuts. Even now, it is entirely within the BBC's power to cancel the series. The Government would certainly support that, as would its union paymasters. Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy says she won't be watching. Downing Street has welcomed the BBC's decision to 'sever ties' with Wallace. And the broadcasting union Bectu has said the presenters 'should not be rewarded with prime-time coverage'. There is strong precedent, too. BBC One removed episodes of The Repair Shop from its schedule last year after presenter Jay Blades was charged with coercive and controlling behaviour against his estranged wife. Series 21 is to air in full, supposedly because cancelling it would be unfair to this year's 60 contestants – even though one of them called for it to be axed The majority of the 83 allegations against Wallace related to 'inappropriate' sexual language and humour – though that raises another question of whether the producers think sexual remarks and jokes are ever appropriate on a TV set Yet dozens remain on iPlayer, even though Blades faced two much more serious charges of rape this week. Whether he will be edited out of old episodes if found guilty, the BBC has not said. It has to be emphasised, of course, that neither Wallace nor Torode has faced a police investigation, much less criminal charges. Yet, strict action has been taken over other controversies. In 2020, Sky chiefs were horrified to realise a heavily tattooed contestant on a forthcoming reality show was actually flaunting neo-Nazi symbols. It was only when trailers for woodworking competition, The Chop, featured contestant Darren Lumsden that social media users pointed out that elements of his body art were coded displays of support for Adolf Hitler and white supremacy. Sky could have fudged the issue. Instead, they did the right thing. The Chop got the chop. The BBC lacks the common sense to follow suit. Its solution is to sieve out all but the blandest moments featuring Wallace and Torode. We see them asking innocuous questions about dishes and then grinning silently at the answers. Almost all his cheesy banter has gone. As a result, the hour is as tepid and flavourless as the water strained from a pan of spaghetti. The judges might as well be a pair of AI robots. And if MasterChef is to continue, perhaps that would be the Beeb's safest option.
