Love Island fans forced to do double-take as 'past winner returns'
Love Island viewers were surprised to see a 'familiar face' when tuning in to the twelfth season of the ITV dating show for the premiere tonight, which saw couples pair up with a twist Love Island fans were surprised during the launch episode of the new series after one Islander's entrance sparked déjà vu, convincing viewers that a former winner had made a shock return. As the boys were introduced in Monday night's premiere, viewers couldn't help but compare new arrival Harry Cooksley to Love Island: All Stars winner Tom Clare. The resemblance was so striking that one fan tweeted: "Is the first one not pink jacket Tom?" Another gasped: "HARRY'S TOM'S DOUBLE!!" Others became suspicious that the wool was being pulled over their eyes by the former cast member, with one suggesting: "Tom really thinks he can trick us by re-entering the villa under 'Harry'. This has Casey's idea written all over it." Someone else agreed, adding: "Tom sneaked in and thought we wouldn't notice." However, the man in question is in fact Harry, a 30-year-old from Guildford who is the oldest member of the original 2025 cast. While he might look like Tom's long-lost twin, he is actually a newcomer to the villa. In the real world, Harry splits his time between playing football for Farnham Town, working in gold trading, and picking up modelling gigs on the side. He even boasts a surprising claim to fame involving England star Declan Rice. Before going on the ITV show, he revealed: "When Declan Rice does a shoot, any body close-ups will actually be me. You'll never see my face, but you'll see my shoulder or chest, that kind of thing." Harry was selected by motivational speaker Sophie Lee, who has been advocating for burn victims ever since she nearly lost her life during a terrible fire-breathing accident in 2019. She was performing in Chicago when an air conditioning unit blew a fireball back into her face and she had to be rushed to the hospital after being in so much pain that she blacked out. Speaking about that difficult time, Sophie shared: "I couldn't breathe by yourself, I couldn't eat, I couldn't really see, it was scary." However, she has also told "I refuse to let [the accident] define me." Meanwhile Tom Clare, who won the All Stars edition earlier this year alongside girlfriend Molly Smith, is now back in pre-season training with his club Macclesfield. He is also still very much in love with Molly. The couple recently returned from a romantic break in the Maldives, where they enjoyed a private dinner under the stars and some much-needed downtime. Although fans have been speculating that a proposal is on the cards, Tom told The Mirror that he is in no rush. He said: "I want to spend the rest of my life with Molly, but there's no pressure in our time or anyone else's." The pair continue to support each other through their respective careers, with Molly often cheering Tom on at his matches, while Tom pops by her photoshoots. "We kind of make the effort," she said, with Tom adding that they're "very similar" and just "banter with one another".

Chatting on his Life's A Beach podcast, with guest Bake Off judge Paul Hollywood, Alan revealed: 'What people don't know is, they leave all the cakes at the back for the cast and crew to tuck in. 'Mine was intact.' Paul said of show leftovers: 'If I eat it, it all goes and savoury stuff tends to disappear first on set more than the desserts.' But he said of Alan's creation: 'It was bad. 'I've tried to delete it from my mind.'

Tamzin Outhwaite makes major romance vow as she spills on toyboy split
Actress Tamzin Outhwaite has issued an update on her love life and the major change she is making going forward following her split from ex boyfriend Tom Child last summer Tamzin Outhwaite has made a life-changing vow following the split from her boyfriend Tom Child after six years together. The actress, 54, met Tom, 33, at a yoga class in 2017 and their love blossomed away from their mats. However, things were not meant to be between the pair as they went their separate ways last summer. Tamzin has been open about her struggle with love, having previously been married to actor Tom Ellis, 46. They split in 2014 amid cheating allegations while Tom was filming Once Upon A Time with actress Emile De Ravin. After six years in a relationship with someone two decades younger than her, Tamzin has revealed she is now ready to be on her own. Tamzin and Tom parted ways amicably and have remained one of each others best friends. Yet, after their split Tamzin has decided to make a huge change going forward in her love life with a very strict rule. She told Hello Magazine: "He's still one of my best friends, and I adore him. But I had to say: ''I don't want to share a bed. I'm in a phase where I need to be on my own'." Last year, Tamzin opened up to the Mirror about her newfound single status. 'I'm happy single,' she told us. 'There's a lot on! Life is really busy, throwing a relationship into that is a whole other thing. "Freedom fills up my cup, freedom to do as you please is a lovely thing. That makes me happy.' Tamzin, who took part in the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special last year, said she is on a quest to challenge herself, build on things that make her happy and 'fill up my own cup' 'I'm just trying to stay open, get out of my comfort zone and do different things to help me grow,' she added. 'I'm on a bit of a mission at the moment. I want to do more things that give you fear because even going through the fear is important. That's where your growth happens as a person.' Tamzin's change in pace began after the menopause hit while she was trying to juggle her busy life as an actress, a mum-of-two, and a doting daughter to her elderly father who lives 'at the end of the garden'. She decided to throw herself into wellness, learning breathwork, stepping up her yoga practice and building a sauna in her spare room. Tamzin said: 'Taking stock, taking a breath and retreating is something I've been learning to do so I can fill up my own cup then come back into my life and do everything that I do, which is keeping up a career, keeping up home, keeping up everything to do with my children and my dad, who lives with me at the end of the garden. "It's making sure everyone is OK. I'm not a saint but juggling all the plates and a career on top of that can be quite stifling.'
