Unexpected Love Island stars cosy up as they down shots at boozy reunion party
The gang caught up over shots following the end of the most recent series of ITV reality dating show Love Island, with the night including lots of dancing and a surprise coupling up The most recent batch of Love Island stars downed shots and got cosy as they reunited for a wild night out after leaving the villa behind. Swapping Majorca for Shoreditch, most of the cast from the ITV2 series showed up to enjoy a rooftop party at Kaso Rooftop, dancing the night away - with some of them getting very close indeed. Sharing their night out with fans on TikTok and Instagram, the group showed off their outfits and posted selfies, with some cheeky moments captured. Irish star Andrada Pop was seen necking spirits before getting close to bombshell Remell Mullings. Casa Amor bombshell Andrada, 27, wore a bright red figure-hugging dress with a plunging neckline. She and Remell, who never actually met on the show, clearly had a spark, with the pair laughing with each other, before posing for a selfie. It comes after one TV star admitted she sleeps in separate bed to partner as she fumes over pregnancy. Runners-up Harry Cooksley and Shakira Khan were inseparable as they were spotted kissing outside the venue. But their night was tainted when Harry's car got a flat tire, meaning he was forced to shell out £200 for an Uber home. Lucy Quinn has clearly moved on from her voice note drama, owning the dance floor in a silver mini skirt and top, while Megan Moore wore a shimmery mesh gown. Her Love Island partner and on-off boyfriend Dejon looked sleek as he wore all black, with the personal trainer brushing off criticism over how he treated his girlfriend on the show. The 26-year-old has been forced to defend himself after it was revealed a book was set to be released discussing alleged 'gaslighting and abuse' by him. Semi-pro footballer Dejon insists he has been the target of "untruths" in the book Surviving Dejon, written by his stepsister Niah Sienna. Discussing the backlash, Dejon told Capital XTRA: "There's a lot of untruths and a lot of unfair stories which I am challenging at the moment. The most important thing is that Meg knows who I am, my family know who I am, and my friends know who I am." He also expressed gratitude to Andrada Pop and Billykiss Azeez for their recent backing. Dejon explained: "Even shoutout to Andrada and Billykiss because when we saw them when was coming out of the villa they were basically saying, 'Dejon, there's so much things being said about you. "We know that's not you. We know that's not who you are as a person'. So yeah shoutout to them two because they didn't need to do that." He also recently took to social media to remind the public that he's a "human being with real emotions". He posted on Instagram: "I've stayed quiet, but that doesn't mean it hasn't affected me. "I hold my self accountable for my communication and everyday I'm growing as a person, so thank you for those who see the good in me. I'm not just a character on an entertainment reality tv show I'm also a human being with real emotions, some of the stuff I've seen said about me has been hard to deal with and they are the furthest thing from the truth." He added: "I questioned why people would do these things and it was getting me nowhere as I couldn't understand and is something I would never do to somebody else but what's kept me grounded is movement. "Running, training, pushing myself when everything in my head feels heavy. It clears my mind, helps me breathe, reminds me of who I am outside of the noise. "If you're struggling mentally, I get it. I really do. You don't have to have it all figured out just find that one thing that brings you back to yourself and take it one step at a time."

Nicola Peltz and Selena Gomez's feud 'doesn't exist' as pals hit out at drama
A pal of Nicola Peltz has silenced speculation that she and Brooklyn Beckham have become distant from their friend Selena Gomez after sources said their bond 'didn't exist' After previously forming a close friendship with them, Selena Gomez was said to have turned her back on pals Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham. However, the Mirror can reveal that this is far from the truth. Back in 2023, she even joked that the trio were in a 'throuple', but it now appears that's no longer the case. The singer, 33, was noticeably absent from the couple's vow renewal last month and it's now being reported that she's been left 'truly disappointed' by the pair's 'diva' like behaviour. A source told The Sun: 'Last year, she noticed Nicola's behaviour toward her and [fiancé Benny Blanco] turned into a constant quest for attention. 'There were many tense moments, for example, during dinners and lunches, where Nicola would try to sit where photographers could get the best angle, and she wasn't very nice to Selena if people weren't paying enough attention to her.' It comes after David Beckham speaks 'as a father' in 'family' announcement after latest Brooklyn snub. The source added: ''I mean, just look at Nicola and Brooklyn's circle of friends, it's shrinking every week. Some people have turned their backs on them because they've realised how Nicola behaves, and Brooklyn isn't doing much to change the dynamic.' But a source close to Nicola told the Mirror: "It's totally false and wrong to bring an innocent bystander into the feud. People have busy schedules, and people are looking for drama where it doesn't exist." Selena spent New Year's Eve with Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, back in 2023, with the trio enjoying time together on a yacht in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. She took to Instagram to share a series of snaps, with one picture displaying the trio snuggled together as they lay on a net over the water onboard their lavish boat. "Fine calls us a throuple #foreverplusone," the Good For You singer joked in her caption at the time. The Naturally singer reportedly also invited the husband and wife to move in with her. An insider told Closer: 'Brooklyn and Nicola moved into Selena's Encino estate a few weeks before Christmas, and the three of them have been playing happy families - joking that Selena is going to be written into the marriage license. 'Brooklyn and Nicola put their home on the market last year and had been living at Nicola's apartment in LA while they looked for a new house, which has been far from ideal given how cramped it is.' The source continued: 'When Selena suggested they move into her sprawling home with a huge backyard, they loved the idea and agreed that since they're still so young, living with a friend would be the perfect way to have the best of both worlds." Rumours of a feud first did the rounds last month when Nicola's fans pointed out the actress hadn't publicly wished Happy Birthday to actress and singer Selena Gomez. Selena, who has just turned 33, marked her latest birthday on July 22. One fan commented: 'No Selena? I miss your friendship with Selena,' while another expressed: 'Wondering that too, as it's Selena's birthday and she usually posts for that, wall, stories or on Selena's wall.' A third wrote: 'She's not even friends with his Mum anymore, so ..@selenagomez ?" This comes as Brooklyn and Nicola are said to be locked into a feud with the rest of the Beckham family. They failed to attend David's early 50th birthday celebrations back in April or acknowledge the birthday on social media. Not only this, but none of the Beckham family were present at their recent vow renewal ceremony, with her father Nelson Peltz stepping in to officiate the ceremony.

Richarlison scores 'goal of the season' contender with stunning overhead kick against Burnley - as fans hail 'legendary moment' for Spurs star
Richarlison left fans speechless with a stunning overhead kick on the volley in Tottenham 's clash with Burnley on Saturday afternoon. Fans are already calling it a 'goal of the season' contender and believe it could be remembered as a 'legendary moment'. The Brazilian only scored four Premier League goals last season but has already bagged half that after his brace against the Clarets. Richarlison opened the scoring after 10 minutes with a half-volley but it is his effort on the hour mark which is taking all the plaudits. Mohammed Kudus knocked the ball past Quilindschy Hartman on the right flank before hanging a cross in the air and Richarlison sent it flying into the corner with his airborne smash from 12 yards out. 'Goal of the season already,' wrote one fan on X. 'Legendary moment,' said another. 'Kudus and Richarlison are going to cook this season,' one predicted. One fan, clearly harder to impress, doled out more moderate praise: 'Goal of the month'. Another felt the forward is in for a big year, writing: 'Richarlison about to rediscover himself.'
