Sean began by saying "the hardest part" of coming back to the real world after being in the Spanish villa was that people "act like they know you" because of what they've seen on TV. "They think they know you, and they have their opinions about you," he said. "Now, obviously, this show's a reality TV show, guys, it's very dramatic. "It's not normal or natural, really." Sean continued: "When you're obviously on the show, you're in your Love Island bubble, you don't really know what's being shown on the outside, you're just there living in the moment. "And I really don't think that situations in there were as bad as what they were shown on TV and situations were obviously dramatized for TV purposes and not actually what generally was happening inside the villa." The reality TV personality explained that when "you come out to the real world," you realise the stories written about him and comments on social media were a shock. "Obviously, the new season is around the corner, and on reflection, I learned a lot about myself from the show and just TV in general," Sean added. He said would always be "very, very grateful" for the opportunities he got from Love Island, "but obviously, it's not all sunshine." Love Island's Tasha slammed by ex in foul-mouthed rant as her new boyfriend is revealed "But yeah, thank you so much for the support. As always, I really, really appreciate it," Sean concluded. People reacted to Sean's video in the comments section. "I mean you did say those things though...." wrote one person. Another commented: "'If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all', isn't just for the kids and applies on reality tell as well you know?" And a third posted: "Don't let the negativity get to you Sean, we love you." Ofcom was inundated with complaints after an episode of Sean's season of Love Island where he and fellow Islander, Joey Essex, were accused of bullying. Some people also accused Sean of racism and did not approve of the way he spoke to contestant Mimii Ngulube. The media regulator eventually decided not to investigate the complaints. The new season of Love Island stars on Monday, June 9.

Advertisement Most read in Entertainment His attorney said he has spent nearly 30 years in solitary confinement. Hoover managed to gain support in the mainstream media after Kanye spent years battling publicly for his release.

Donald Trump has commuted the sentence of Larry Hoover, a former Chicago gang leader Larry Hoover, 74, is a founder of the Gangster Disciples and was accused of murdering a rival drug dealer in 1973. Originally from Jackson, Mississippi, Hoover moved with his parents to Chicago, Illinois when he was four years old before turning to gang life by the time he was 13. He started with theft and mugging, but as he got older his crimes turned to assaults and shootings. On February 26, 1973, Hoover murdered William Young alongside another Gangster Disciple member, Andrew Howard. While at Stateville Correctional Center in Illinois, Hoover began to gather followers - however, the authorities saw this as a positive. Hoover made it mandatory for any members of Gangster Disciple to educate themselves, pick up a trade, and become better members of society. But, in 1995 an undercover investigation indicted Hoover for drug conspiracy charges. In 1997 he was found guilty and he has been serving six life sentences at the United States Penitentiary Administrative Maximum Facility in Florence, Colorado. In July 2021, a federal judge denied a bid from Hoover for a sentencing break under the First Step Act.

"Thankfully, Mr. Hoover's pleas were heard by President Trump who took action to deliver justice for Mr. Hoover. "We are thrilled to see that Mr. Hoover will be released from Federal Custody." The process 'started a long time ago with Kanye. Kanye put us on the platform,' a relieved Hoover Jr., told Advertisement He added, '[Kanye] had a very big part because he started it all off.

He told the show his kids would never have the chance to hug their grandfather. Advertisement Kanye explained that he had assembled a top legal team, including Jennifer Bonjean, the lawyer who helped release disgraced comedian Bill Cosby. REMAINS JAILED Hoover's lawyer, Justin Moore, said of his client's commutation, "We got Larry Hoover out of federal prison - when many said it was impossible… Illinois must send him home for good."

‘We're urging people to stop' – Tourists ‘damaging' popular Irish beauty spot warned over €35k bill from coins in cracks
THE National Trust in Co Antrim is urging for tourists to stop destroying a popular beauty spot by jamming coins into the cracks. The Giant's Causeway is being damaged by 3 Visitors are sticking coins into the cracks in the rocks at the Giants Causeway Credit: Getty Images - Getty 3 It will cost more than €35,748 to remove all the coins Credit: RTE They have been wedged into the cracks of the basalt rock columns at the World Heritage Site. The When the coins rust, they expand - therefore putting pressure on the surrounding rock. This causes it to strain and eventually crumble. READ MORE IN IRISH NEWS According to the Tourists are being urged to stop leaving coins at the site to stop the destruction of the rocks. Dr Cliff Henry, National Trust nature engagement officer at the He said: "We know that visitors really love and cherish the Giant's Causeway, and many form deep personal connections to this special landscape. MOST READ ON THE IRISH SUN "We know some may want to leave a token of their Jetski Romeo breaks finger after being flattened by monster wave while taking selfie at Giant's Causeway in Belfast The British Geological Survey released a report that concluded that the coins put into the joints and cracks in the rock have a detrimental impact. The impact on the basalt rock is both aesthetic and physical. Dr Henry continued: "The report has found that fracturing and disintegration of the basalt rock adjacent to joints and cracks into which coins have been inserted is the result of the 'expansive delamination of the coins upon oxidation'. "In other words, the coins are rusting, and expanding to three times their original thickness, which puts huge pressure on the surrounding rock causing it to crumble. "Unsightly streaks of copper, nickel and iron oxides are also staining the stones where the coins are corroding." 'STOP THE DAMAGING PRACTICE' The National Trust, partnered with Causeway Coast and Glens Heritage Trust have hired specialists in stone conservation to remove as many of the coins as possible without causing further damage at ten test locations. Dr Henry explained: "It is hoped that if visitors see fewer coins in the stones and hear appeals to stop the damaging practice the problem can be solved. "Many coins have a centre of one metal, with a thin coating of another. UK 'copper' coins, since 1992, have a steel core with only a thin layer of copper on the outside, while five, 10 and 20 pence pieces are nickel-plated steel. "When coins start to corrode, the steel often corrodes faster and separates from the different metal of the outer layer. This delamination causes the basalt to flake. "The coins here also have accelerated corrosion because they are often soaked in saltwater spray and the mixture of metals means they break down faster. "We protect and care for places so people and nature can thrive. "We are appealing to visitors to help us protect the World Heritage Site by stopping the practice of inserting coins into the Causeway stones." 3 The coins rust and then expand, damaging the rocks Credit: Getty Images - Getty
