Dumped Love Islander Blu takes bitter swipe at rival Shea after head to head showdown
DUMPED Love Island hunk Blu Chegini has hinted his simmering feud with Shea Mannings is in full swing with a catty swipe after his show exit.
The ITV2 matchmaking show's first evicted lad was revealed last week following a savage villa twist.

London construction worker Blu, 26, followed Sophie Lee, 29, out of the door, but left on frosty terms after a clash with bombshell Shea.
The boys got into a heated row as they battled it out to stay, coming face to face as they argued their case.
During the face off, they traded insults and The Sun told how the bad blood continued off-screen, before Blu was chosen by his Love Island co-stars to leave.
A source told us at the time: "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.
"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."
Yet it's clear those emotions are still strong for Blu.
Back on home turf, he has taken a fresh dig at his love rival with a video posted to his Instagram grid.
It showed him coming face to face with a lamppost, standing in a similar way to he did with Shea, as he shouted at the black post.
In the video caption, he wrote: "POV You and Shea around the firepit," before he added on his grid: "I left."
The significance of the inclusion of the lamppost came after his Love Island 2025 cast co-star Tommy branded Shea a "lanky lamppost" when he kissed his partner Megan in a challenge.

Making it crystal clear he was referring to Shea, he put the phrase in his hashtags.
Evicted Islander Sophie was quick to pick up on the dig and wrote: "It's going down."
A second posted: "This shouldn't be this fun," as a third cheered: "You tell him."
One then added: "Brilliant!!!"
It came after Blu called out Shea's "laid back" attitude during his exit interview.
BLU'S EVICTION
The June 13 episode kicked off in explosive fashion as the two boys stated their reasons for wanting to stay.
Blu said he wanted the chance to get to form a connection with someone, but Shea said he had already had his chance.
Blu hit back and said he didn't feel that Shea had anyone who he'd be romantically interested in.
But Shea fired back and confessed he still wants to get to know Shakira, but she insisted she only has eyes for Ben.
They both failed to budge and could not reach a decision, meaning the power was handed over to their fellow Islanders.
Each couple made their choice and in the end it was Blu who was given the boot, with the general consensus being he'd had enough time but Shea hadn't.

10cc review — a royal success from the court jesters of prog
A grand courtyard of red-brick Tudor splendour (the extremely civilised Hampton Court Palace Festival, with a cushion-bellied Henry VIII roaming the gardens) seemed a fitting locale for 10cc, the court jesters of Seventies art rock. Where their peers traded in po-faced prog, cult glam and cocaine experimentation, their speciality was in boogie-based collage rock, amalgamating strains of blue-eyed surf pop, vaudevillian operetta, new wave, calypso, and colourful semi-comic storytelling and metaphor. Life is a minestrone and death a cold lasagne, they famously posited in 1975, like a profoundly existential edition of Nadiya Hussain's Cook Once, Eat Twice. And you know what, if you thought about it for long enough on the frankly smashing drugs knocking around back then, it kind of was. Here, they were clearly a reduced outfit, with only the bassist Graham Gouldman remaining from the original line-up, his decaying vocals bolstered by his co-frontman Iain Hornal and the long-standing guitarist Rick Fenn. But like the jesters of old, their opening few songs spoke truth to power even at 50 years' remove. The hyper-capitalist parody The Wall Street Shuffle is still powerfully prescient and the wiry, industry-skewering Art for Art's Sake, with its rock-as-commodity chorus of 'Art for art's sake, money for God's sake', could be Spotify's theme song. The satire may have been ageless — witness a bloodthirsty boogie-woogie National Guard loading up on Rubber Bullets, then turn on Newsnight — but the music was firmly nostalgia-zone. Bar one 2024 Gouldman solo song — the languid cruise ship ballad Floating in Heaven featuring Brian May, who was (dramatic pause) 'not here tonight' — nothing was dated post-1978. Dreadlock Holiday in particular, their infamous cod reggae tune about being mugged by Jamaican locals, sat in the realm of 'things they got away with in the Seventies' — although the crowd, themselves largely in their seventies, lapped it up. The overriding sense was one of envious amazement that such imaginative, shapeshifting stuff was ever mainstream-adjacent. The Things We Do for Love drenched a classic Beatles-style doe-eyed doo-wop in unutterable anguish, while Clockwork Creep unravelled the dialogue between a bomb and the passenger jet it's about to blow up to the sound of operatic music-hall art pop with Disney whistles on. And though there were undoubtedly sags in the set and a covers-act sheen to the affair, there were also sublime passages, where the airline jingle turned dreampop drama I'm Mandy Fly Me gave way to the gorgeous phantom harmonies of I'm Not in Love, or when the full band gathered centre stage for a stunning barbershop take on their debut single, Donna. In philosophical dining terms: mostly minestrone.★★★★☆ 10cc play the Sign of the Times Festival, Herts, on Jun 20 and the Brit Festival, Cheshire, on Jul 6,
