Towie's Dani Imbert speaks for first time about snogging two Love Island boys in one night – as BOTH lads are dumped
THE Only Way Is Essex star Dani Imbert has broken her silence after being linked to snogging TWO Love Island boys. The reality TV beauty found herself linked to the drama surrounding Monday night's final when it emerged she was the alleged woman who kissed two Love Island boys despite them having show partners. 6 6 Tommy Bradley and Ben Holborough found themselves caught up in a 'cheating' scandal when it emerged they'd both shared a smooch with someone other than their villa partners at a glitzy showbiz event last week. But in a shock twist, it emerged they'd snogged the SAME girl with it quickly being revealed that TOWIE beauty Dani was at the centre of it. Now, Dani has spoken exclusively to The Sun to clear up the events of the night in question. Speaking at the ITV Reality channel launch, Dani told The Sun: "Tommy and Ben... I mean, I don't kiss and tell so I'm not going to say much about them two boys and it is what it is. "I was just a bit like wow [when it was said on Love Island]. "You know how it goes, I'll be honest, drinks were flowing. "It was just a crazy night out and apparently I kissed someone I don't recall but yeah, whatever!" Dani first became linked to the Love Island scandal when she was snapped all over Ben on the night in question. It then spilled over into the villa when all the former Islanders returned to Majorca for the show's famous jury vote and the live final. Once Ben's villa partner Andrada Pop wasted no time in calling him out for his antics, things got seriously messy when Tommy was forced to address his own cheating scandal with Lucy Quinn. Love Island shock as Tommy admits cheating on ex Lucy with the SAME girl Ben kissed behind Andrada's back He admitted he told Maya how he "messed up" for going behind Lucy's back for the secret snog. Detailing what had happened, Tommy said: "I'll hold my hands up, it was my fault, I messed up. "I went to my first event and it was a free bar, unlimited drinks and half hour in, I'd had about five Blue Lagoon cocktails." He continued: "I shouldn't have done it [the kiss] and I did speak to Lucy and confessed that I'd messed up." 6 6 As the attention turned to Ben, he went on to add: "I was at the same event and it was alright..." As the crowd laughed, Andrada soon chipped in to add the comment: "Same girl!" Open-mouthed, Maya could be heard shouting "no" before she questioned if they were being serious. Tommy and Ben held their heads in their hands as they failed to dis-spell what had been said.

Love Island shock as Tommy admits cheating on ex Lucy with the SAME girl Ben kissed behind Andrada's back
LOVE Island was rocked by a double cheating shock as Tommy Bradley confessed to snogging the same girl as Ben Holborough behind Lucy Quinn's back. Tommy had been romancing Lucy after they left the villa but despite enjoying a few dates, it all crumbled when he enjoyed a smooch with another woman on a night out. 3 3 Speaking to host Maya Jama on Love Island, hunky Tommy confessed his budding romance was over after his actions. Admitting he acted "disrespectfully", he told Maya how he "messed up" for going behind Lucy's back for the secret snog. But in another shock, it was later revealed that Tommy had kissed the same girl that Ben had also cheated on partner Andrada with. The Sun told how Ben had been pictured all over The Only Way Is Essex star Dani Imbert at a glitzy showbiz event with the pair reportedly going on to enjoy a series of snogs together. It is likely to spark speculation that Dani is also the woman in question in the middle of Tommy and Lucy's romance. Ben confessed to host Maya to snogging a woman at the event despite him and Andrada being exclusive. Andrada was quick to clarify that she and Ben were no longer romantically involved as a result of the incident. 3

When is the Love Island 2025 final?
THIS year's jaw-dropping, tear-inducing Love Island is coming to an end. The villa is getting ready to close its doors on another series jam-packed with drama, disappointment and downright desire. When is the Love Island 2025 final? The date of the Love Island final is yet to be confirmed by ITV, but as regular viewers know, the final always takes place on a Monday in a live episode. It is heavily speculated that the official Love Island live final will be on Monday August 4, which means fans have around three weeks until the series reaches its climax. When Maya Jama returns to the villa at the end of the eight weeks in the sun, there will be four couples remaining, all vying to win over the public and take the title. The prize pot of £50,000 will also be up for grabs for the winning couple. All the action will unfurl at 9pm on the first Monday in August on ITV2 and ITVX. 3 This year's stint in the villa has been nothing short of dramatic with fans deeming it the best series in recent memory. We've seen betrayals, twists, the obvious recouplings, and even host Maya Jama getting involved in the drama. On July 10 fans were shocked when Maya called out Ben Holborough for an "unnecessary" comment he made to Toni after a dramatic recoupling after Casa Amor. Fans called the moment an overdue "humbling" for the model. 3 Who is in the final? The final is just under a month away, so it's too early to tell which couples will make it! As fans will know there's no hugely "strong" couples at this stage, and while the likes of Shakira and Harry, and Meg and Dejon have been together the longest, it does not mean they will beat out the rest. What's more, it's not unheard of for a bombshell to swoop in, turn some heads and come out on top. Love Island unveiled its latest bombshell on Thursday, who will be hoping to make it to the final. The self-rated 20 out of 10 salon owner, Lauren, was teased on Thursday, and there will definitely be more to come to shake things up. And the way this drama-filled season has been going, anything can happen, so only time will tell... When did Love Island 2025 start? Series 12 of Love Island started on Monday June 9. The islanders are treated to staying in a six-bed rustic £2.5M villa. The luxury pad underwent a huge makeover before the show kicked off. Love Island has also once again been hosted by Maya, who started presenting the show in 2023.

Love Island fans beg producers to step in and AXE ‘disgusting' star from villa after Maya Jama calls out nasty comment
LOVE Island fans have demanded ITV bosses step in after one Islander was slammed for making a 'disgusting' comment – with Maya Jama stepping in to call him out live on screen. The 30-year-old host wasn't having any of it during last night's tense episode as Ben Holborough made a savage dig at Toni Laites that left viewers stunned – and demanding he be kicked out of the villa. 5 5 5 5 Tensions were already sky high as Harrison Solomon came back hand-in-hand with bombshell Lauren Wood, despite being coupled up with Toni before Casa. When Maya turned to Toni, 24, for her reaction, she took the high road, saying: "Tommy obviously surprised me, the rest of them not so much.' But Ben couldn't help himself, cutting in to say: 'I think I've got to give it to Harrison – what Lauren's been able to give him in three days, you haven't been able to do in two or three weeks.' Toni shot back: 'Save it, b****.' And Maya quickly stepped in, telling Ben: 'I didn't really like that, Ben. That was unnecessary.' Fans at home couldn't believe what they'd heard – and took to X (formerly Twitter) to vent their fury. 'get ben out the VILLA now why is he always opening his mouth????,' fumed one fan. 'ben's comment towards toni was so nasty idc how 'funny' people think he is- the way he speaks to women is disgusting and i'm glad maya called him out,' said another. 'The sooner Harry, Ben and Helena are out of that villa the better,' added a third. Even fellow Islander Shakira Khan jumped in to defend Toni, firing: 'There's two brain cells up there, I swear.' Maya also called out Helena Ford for laughing along with Harry Cooksley as footage aired of his flirty Casa antics. She told Helena: 'I don't know… I probably wouldn't find that funny if I was in a couple with someone like that. 'You laugh quite a lot when he's been doing things. Is that to avoid upset or are you genuinely not bothered?' Helena replied: 'It's not that I'm not bothered, I'm just not surprised.' Harry tried to defend himself – again – saying: 'If I wanted to come back with Rheo I'd have coupled up with her…' But Maya wasn't having it. 'It doesn't exclude everything that happened,' she snapped. Love Island fans are now begging producers to take action against Ben, calling his comments 'nasty', 'vile' and 'completely out of order'. 'What exactly did Harry say that Conor agrees with???? Get him out omg I hate him. Harry, Dejon, Harrison, Ben and Conor get out now,' raged another viewer. Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX. 5

Watch as Maya Jama takes huge swipe at Love Island boy as he makes cruel dig during mass dumping
MAYA Jama firmly put one Love Island boy in his place as he made a cruel comment during the brutal Casa Amor recoupling. In last night's Love Island, Maya, 30, was on hand to reveal who would be leaving the villa as the Islanders reunited after Casa Amor. 3 3 After it was revealed that Harrison Solomon had recoupled with bombshell Lauren Wood, despite previously being in a romance with Toni Laites, Maya asked the American for her thoughts. Referring to Tommy Bradley swapping Emily Moran for Lucy Quinn, Toni, 24 replied: 'Tommy obviously surprised me, the rest of them not so much.' Ben Holborough then fired back: 'I think I've got to give it to Harrison - what Lauren's been able to give him in three days, you haven't been able to do in two or three weeks.' Toni quickly replied: 'Save it, b****.' And Maya made it clear Ben had crossed a line, telling him: 'I didn't really like that Ben, that was unnecessary.' Shakira Khan also jumped to Toni's defence, saying of Ben: 'There's two brain cells up there, I swear.' Maya also hit out at Harry Cooksley and Helena Ford, when she was seen sniggering as his Casa Amor behaviour was revealed. The presenter said: 'I don't know, I probably wouldn't find that funny if I was in a couple with someone like that. 'You laugh quite a lot when he's been doing things. Is that to avoid upset or are you genuinely not bothered?' Helena admitted: 'It's not that I'm not bothered, I'm just not surprised.' Harry tried to justify himself again: 'If I wanted to come back with Rheo I'd have coupled up with her…' But Maya hit back: 'It doesn't exclude everything that happened.'
