Love Is Blind UK star forced to apologise as he says ‘never meant to make your Mrs cry'
The second part of Love Is Blind UK season 2 sees multiple contestants in tears and several stars walking off set. *Warning - This article contains minor spoilers for Love Is Blind UK season 2 episode 8.* The eighth episode of Love Is Blind UK season 2 saw things get very heated between two contestants, as rumours swirled about one star's 'flirty' behaviour. In the second instalment of the Netflix show, 28-year-old health coach Javen was seen flirting with multiple rejected contestants from the pods during a reunion party while his fiancee Katisha looked on. Later that night, Javen left the 31-year-old nanny from Dumfries to go on a night out with some of his co-stars, leaving her home alone in tears. Soon afterwards, Katisha's friend Megan, who is engaged to Kieran from the pods, came round to tell Katisha about Javen's behaviour on the night out. She claimed to Katisha that he had spent 'the whole night' with the single girls, including Kieran's ex-flame Sophie, and even went into a photobooth with her. Later in episode 8, Javen invited Megan and Kieran round in order to 'clear his name', but things quickly turned hostile as an argument broke out. He claimed that Megan had told Katisha 'half-truths' about what had happened that night, which had caused Katisha to leave him. Javen insisted he had spent time with some of the boys, including Patrick and Demola, that evening, but Megan said she had 'only ever seen him with Sophie, Yolanda and Aanu'. Things got particularly heated when Javen disagreed with the couple about his time with Sophie in a photobooth, with the former claiming there 'was no curtain' while Kieran and Sophie said the 'curtain was closed'. 'Do you think I'm stupid enough to… I don't know. I don't even know what you're insinuating that I was doing,' Javen fumed. Kieran then stepped in to defend Megan, saying: 'Everything that Meg has said to Katisha is what she saw and I also saw that, so there's no bull****.' 'No it is bull****,' Javen responded. 'To say I was with someone all night, bro, I was there for three hours.' Javen and Megan then began shouting over each other, with Megan eventually losing her cool and stating: 'You were all over Yolanda. You were all over Aanu. You also mentioned how Sophie is someone you'd like to f*** but you would just leave her.' 'I never said that,' Javen responded, as Megan insisted: 'You did! Mate, I don't care. I saw what I saw and told Katisha. Don't be mad about it. All I think is Katisha deserved to know what you were doing.' 'I already told her that!' Javen yelled, as Megan asked: 'Then what's the issue?'

See you never, Jav. Have a good life you f***ing pr***.' She then stormed out and burst into tears on the balcony, telling the cameras: 'I've had many arguments with people like Jav who just go over and over the same thing and try and deflect the argument onto the other person, so I had to remove myself from the conversation, because we were going nowhere.' 'I think he knows what he's done so agree to disagree. You go live your life, Jav.' Javen then apologised to Kieran, saying: 'I never meant to make her cry, so I apologise. 'I apologise for making your Mrs cry; that was not my intention. But I wanted to have this conversation so you guys knew where I stood. That is literally it.' 'Yeah,' Kieran simply nodded, before leaving the room to go and check on Megan, giving her a hug. 'You did right by your mate and that's all you can do,' he told her. Is it curtains for Katisha and Javen? Will Megan and Kieran tie the knot? We'll have to keep watching. Love Is Blind UK season 2 episodes 1-8 are available to watch on Netflix now.

Love Island star from most complained about episode of all time ‘gives away' that he's in talks for All Stars
LOVE Island star Teddy Soares has teased a return to the show - four years after being at the centre of the most complained about episode of all time. The 30-year-old, who is currently single, admitted All Stars could be on the cards when quizzed by a fan. 4 4 A follower asked him: 'All Stars 2026?' and he replied: 'Who knows what the future holds.' Back in 2021, Teddy was coupled up with Faye Winter, 28, with the now exes finishing in third place. But their experience was marred after the estate agent became the most complained about contestant in the programme's history. She clocked up a whopping 36,324 Ofcom complaints in 2021 after her "toxic" on-screen meltdown. Teddy later admitted he has struggled watching the show since, telling us: "I haven't actually tuned into Love Island in a while - since my own series." When quizzed as to the reason why, he continued: "Maybe a little bit of PTSD, I don't know. "Obviously now, I've moved so far along with my own podcast and there are things I'm working on." He added: "It's interesting now when I see certain clips, it does trigger me. "My heart starts pumping and more often than not, it's really good memories, so it's a shame." Despite finding romance with Faye in the villa, there were explosive moments in their early relationship. Love Island's Faye Winter on trolling and THAT row with ex Teddy Soares that sparked 25k Ofcom complaints One scene saw Faye swear and scream in his face - and is the most complained about moment in the show's history. At the time, viewers branded the uncomfortable clash "toxic" and "difficult to watch." It came after previous scenes from the villa were played back to Islanders during a pub qui z, including one which saw Teddy snog bombshell Clarisse. He then claimed he was "technically single" in a chat with the lads after. 4 Later scenes saw Teddy broke down in tears as his relationship with the feisty estate agent ended, with his emotional turmoil leaving fans begging for bosses to step in. Since the scenes were aired, Faye received death threats. The pair then split in February 2023, after trying to make their romance work in the outside world. Teddy then found love with Irish model Casey Boonstra but the pair split last year.
