Dumped Love Island star confirms he's dating villa girl he wasn't coupled up with as they ‘soft launch' romance
AFTER being brutally dumped earlier this series, Love Island star Remell Mullings has confirmed he's dating a villa girl - and it's not who fans think it is. The hunk, who sparked fix claims, has soft launched his romance with co-star Poppy Harrison after they enjoyed a brief romance on the show. 3 3 Remell, 24, took to Instagram to share a video of the pair looking very cosy while lip syncing to Fat Joe and Ashanti's popular song What's Luv?. The two, who flirted up a storm on the show, can be seen with their arms around one another, with the words written, 'What could've been,' sprawled on the top of the clip. He captioned it: 'A moment that never aired but it happened.' Fans flocked to the comments section to share their thoughts as one blasted: 'Ahhh at least she's happy with being second best.' Another fan commented: 'I don't understand why you never picked her, that's the only time we saw your personality and game when you were with her.' Somebody else gushed: 'Ya'll look good together man. Happy for you,' while a fourth said: 'What's with all of these comments, I love this.' Remell entered the show on day three with Shea Mannings and coupled up with Scottish lash Alima Gagigo. The pair appeared to be into one another before being hit with a curveball, with the arrival of four new bombshells. Remell, along with Dejon Noel-Williams, Helena Ford and Emily Moran, where whisked away to another villa for a sleepover with the four bombshells that had selected them.

Love Island in fix row as fans slam controversial move that sent fan favourite home
LOVE Island fans are fuming after one popular Islander was sent packing last night - sparking accusations the show is "fixed". The Sun was first to reveal the eviction - and how the Love Island singletons had already left - with our source letting slip how "the cast were reeling after this shock move". We told how "one ousted Islander in particular will be much missed" - and the news clearly hit hard with those watching at home as show OG Alima Gagigo was given the boot. She was forced to exit the series with bombshell Ryan Bannister, who had only just set foot in the matchmaking show compound. The shock elimination came when the Islanders were gathered around the firepit under the impression another recoupling was about to take place. But the group were blindsided when two fresh bombshells, Billykiss and Ryan, were asked to stand - and the boys were told to step forward if they wanted to couple up with Billykiss. Only Connor moved, having just been on a date with the influencer. As a result, Alima - who had been in a friendship couple with him - was asked to switch places with Billykiss. Moments later, when no girls stepped forward for Ryan, the group assumed Alima and Ryan would be paired. But instead, a brutal twist revealed both were being dumped from the Island immediately - a decision that left the rest of the villa stunned and in tears. Fans have since taken to Facebook to vent their frustration that she was dumped, while others - including Meg Moore - were saved. While some have claimed producers "fixed" the outcome, it is purely speculation and there is no evidence that an intervention took place. One upset viewer wrote: 'She was so sweet, should have picked her." Love Island star sparks fears she'll quit the show after tense bust-up saying 'she's going to walk' Another said: 'It's totally fixed. They've done it that way so Meg was saved." Others speculated that the outcome would've been different had the power been in the hands of the bombshells. A third claimed: 'Obviously if the bombshells picked, I think Harry and Meg would be on their way home. Totally fixed." Someone else agreed: 'Course it's fixed.' One more added: 'Show is a big fix. He looked like he wanted to stand up. Maya said all would be different this series.' Fans were previously left fuming that no bombshell had been brought in for Alima, as they demanded to know why she hadn't been considered. Love Island All Stars 2025 official line-up Love Island All Stars is back on TV for season 2. Here we take you through the line-up of all the Islanders who are in the villa so far.

A second text told Ryan and Billykiss, the new bombshells, to stand at the front. The boys were told to stand up if they'd like to recouple with Billykiss.

TV chef sparks Love Island race row as she slams bosses over ‘damaging' act, fuming ‘do better!'
TELLY chef Lorraine Pascale has launched a blistering attack on Love Island bosses urging those at the show to "do better." Her remarks - which allege new newbie Billykiss Azeez replacing Love Island 2025 OG Alima Gagigo had caused "damage" in terms of representation - came after Alima and bombshell Ryan Bannister were given the boot in a double elimination. 7 7 Conor Phillips, 25 opted to partner up with Dublin influencer Billykiss, 28, after their successful first date, which left Alima, 23, single and promptly ditched from the Mallorca compound. Furious fans told how they had "complained to Ofcom" about the twist of fate. Yet this wasn't the first time they had rallied around the Glasgow-born lass, with fans previously left fuming that no bombshell had been brought in for the talented wealth management client services executive. Now chef Lorraine, 52, who has previously starred on ITV daytime show This Morning as well as many of her own series, including the BBC 's Baking made Easy, has spoken out on her own personal view in a post about representation on the series. She wrote on X: "Wow @LoveIsland. You finally cast a Black woman who was thriving, and then you replace her with another Black woman? "This isn't representation, it's tokenism. "You're reinforcing the idea that there's only room for one of us at a time. That's not diversity - that's damage. Do better." A show source has refuted suggestions of a race row and said: "During last night's episode, the format point was based around the islander's own decisions on whether they wanted to recouple." At the time of writing, Lorraine's message - which reflects her honestly held opinion - had been 'liked' eight times. I'm 50 and still wearing cut out bikinis - people might say I'm too old but I won't stop, says TV chef Lorraine Pascal When The Sun was first to reveal the eviction, we made it clear it was the islanders who would decide their own fate - with the decision of the public or show bosses not involved. EVICTION BLOW On Wednesday night's episode of Love Island, Tommy had a text asking all Islanders to gather round the Firepit. A second message told Ryan and Billykiss, the new bombshells, to stand at the front. The boys were told to stand up if they'd like to recouple with Billykiss.
