Why isn't Maura Higgins at the Love Island: A Decade of Love anniversary special? Star's absence explained
Love Island fans, tonight is the night. At 9pm this evening, a group of iconic villa alumni will reunite as part of the 10th anniversary celebrations, and we literally cannot wait. (Sidenote, how has it been a decade already? Feeling old.) Over on ITV2, former contestants are set to look back at some of the show's biggest - and most dramatic - moments, while sharing their own hot takes on the scenes. Hey, Maya Jama did ask for big twists and more drama on the new series, which is also set to air this month, so it looks like she'll be getting what she asked for a little earlier. Theatrics aside, exactly which ex Islanders can we expect to see this evening? And who is set to skip the big event? Because rumour has it, Maura Higgins, one of the show's biggest breakout stars, seems to have lost her invite. Which leads us to our next question... why? First things first, we're not confirming that Maura is going to be a no-show. For all we know, she may surprise us and turn up at the hottest event of the year. After all, she does have a history of arriving late: the 34-year-old rocked up to last year's I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! a few days after everyone else, remember. The reason we're not sure if Maura is on the bill is that we've not seen her on the list of names expected to appear. Rather, the alumni we know are returning include Cara De La Hoyde-Massey and Nathan Massey, series seven champs Millie Court and Liam Reardon, series nine winners Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan, and series eight finalists Indiyah Polack and Dami Hope. Also on the lineup are Gabby Allen, Montana Brown, Dani Dyer, Georgia Steel, Hannah Elizabeth, Whitney Adebayo, Anton Danyluk, and Catherine Agbaje. From her Instagram posts, we also know that Maura is currently soaking up the sun in Mykonos - a long way from the Majorcan villa. She's also not posted anything to the grid about the special, which could also be a hint. But if you want our advice, we suggest tuning in tonight to find out for yourself. We know we will. Love Island: A Decade of Love will air on ITV2 at 9pm tonight.

Jane Moore criticises 'snooty' reactions to ITV's decision to cut Loose Women airtime
Loose Women panellist Jane Moore has hit out at the 'snooty reaction' to the news that the ITV daytime programme is one of the shows to be hit by cuts from the channel. Jane Moore has criticised the "snooty reaction" from some critics following the news that Loose Women will be reduced to 30 weeks per year. The journalist, who believes ITV is planning to reallocate funds saved by this decision towards more sports programming, saying she's "immensely disappointed" at what she termed "lazy misogyny". She wrote: "One male commentator for a broadsheet casually dismissed Loose Women - on air for 25 years - as a 'gabfest'... The snooty reaction from some quarters was immensely disappointing." While Jane, 63, refrains from identifying either the broadsheet or the commentator in her column, she proceeds to highlight instances where Loose Women has robustly challenged prominent political figures. In her article for The Sun, she pointed out: "Clearly he hadn't seen the episode when Janet Street Porter turned to then-Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and demanded: 'Why do you hate pensioners?'... Or when a squirming Nigel Farage was put on the spot and declared afterwards 'that was one of the scariest things I've ever done.'". Loose Women, an ITV fixture since 2000, also received accolades earlier this year with a Royal Television Society award for its 'Facing It Together' campaign, which raises awareness about domestic violence, reports the Mirror. Both 'Loose Women' and ' Lorraine ' are set to become victims of a significant ITV overhaul, with plans to reduce their annual airtime to just 30 weeks from 2026. It's believed that this strategy will be a cost-saving measure for the network, but Jane, who appeared on I'm a Me Out of Here! last year, has been informed that the savings will likely be redirected into sports programming. The seasoned presenter expressed her disappointment: "When it was announced that one of the precious few, all-female shows was being cut back to 30 weeks a year to save money for, among other things, more sport, the snooty reaction from some quarters was immensely disappointing. "We always cover the day's main news stories, as well as important topics such as, among many other things, miscarriage, post-natal depression, menopause, midlife female invisibility (oh the irony) and breast cancer awareness." Jane has been a staple on Loose Women since 2013, following an earlier three-year period which concluded in 2002. She is part of a diverse panel that includes members ranging from 25 to the legendary 85-year-old TV icon Gloria Hunniford. Speculation suggests that there may be a reduction in the number of panellists next year, along with a decrease in broadcasting hours. Lorraine Kelly is also reportedly discontented with the upcoming changes. She has been the face of her self-titled morning show on ITV since 2010. However, an ITV insider disclosed this week: "She has been an icon of ITV but serious cuts need to be made and her show has been cut to just 30 minutes, which after ad breaks will be a very short chunk of time." Another source disclosed to the Mirror: "Lorraine was not happy about what is happening and also had concern for the production team which will be cut back too."

Loose Women's Jane Moore slams 'snooty reaction' to ITV's brutal daytime cuts
Jane Moore, who has been in her second stint on Loose Women since 2013, noted the response from some pundits at the ITV announcement it - and Lorraine - will only run 30 weeks of the year from 2026 Jane Moore has blasted the "snooty reaction" of some pundits at the announcement Loose Women is to be cut back to 30 weeks of the year. The journalist, who claims ITV intends to use money it will save with the move by investing in more sport programmes, said she was "immensely disappointed" to see comments she called "lazy misogyny". She wrote: "One male commentator for a broadsheet casually dismissed Loose Women — on air for 25 years — as a 'gabfest'... The snooty reaction from some quarters was immensely disappointing." Jane, 63, does not name the broadsheet - or commentator - in her opinion piece but goes onto list several examples of moments on Loose Women where key political figures have been held to account. Writing for The Sun, the journalist said: "Clearly he hadn't seen the episode when Janet Street Porter turned to then-Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and demanded: 'Why do you hate pensioners?'... Or when a squirming Nigel Farage was put on the spot and declared afterwards 'that was one of the scariest things I've ever done.'" Loose Women, a staple on ITV since 2000, also won a Royal Television Society award earlier this year for its Facing It Together campaign against domestic violence. But it and Lorraine are casualties of a major ITV shake-up, as both daytime programmes will only run 30 weeks of the year from 2026. It is thought the move will save the network money but Jane, who was on I'm a Me Out of Here! last year, understands cash will go into sport programmes instead. The experienced broadcaster added: "When it was announced that one of the precious few, all-female shows was being cut back to 30 weeks a year to save money for, among other things, more sport, the snooty reaction from some quarters was immensely disappointing. "We always cover the day's main news stories, as well as important topics such as, among many other things, miscarriage, post-natal depression, menopause, midlife female invisibility (oh the irony) and breast cancer awareness." Jane has been a regular on Loose Women since 2013 and had a three-year stint some time before then, ending in 2002. She works alongside multiple panelists, whose ages range from 25 to 85-year old TV legend Gloria Hunniford. It is thought the numbers will be cut next year, alongside the hours available. Lorraine Kelly, meanwhile, is also said to be unhappy with the changes. She has had her own, self-titled morning programme on ITV since 2010. But an ITV source told us this week: "She has been an icon of ITV but serious cuts need to be made and her show has been cut to just 30 minutes, which after ad breaks will be a very short chunk of time."

Joey Essex puts his home on the market for rent but it comes with huge price tag
The Only Way Is Essex star Joey Essex has put his Essex home on the market as a rental property as he prepares to leave the UK to train for major boxing competitions Reality show fans could live like one of their favourite stars - as long as they have a sizeable amount to pay on rent. Joey Essex, who starred on The Only Way Is Essex between 2011 and 2013, has put his home on the market for rent. The 34-year-old TV star - who has also appeared on Love Island, I'm a Me Out of Here!, Celebrity MasterChef, Dancing On Ice, Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, Celebs Go Dating, and more - is the owner of a £3 million in Essex. However, he is moving out in order to chase his dream of becoming a professional boxer - and fans can rent the property for an astonishing £10,000 per month. Joey will be spending time working out at intensive gyms in Dubai and LA as he prepares to become a top sportsman. He is due to fight the likes of YouTube stars KSI, Jake Paul and Deji Olatunji in a tournament. His home has been listed via Durden and Hunt and is available to rent while he is abroad. Photos and details of the home reveal four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a swimming pool, and walk-in wardrobes. Marble surfaces and leather sofas add luxurious touches to the property. While his garden also features a hot tub and palm trees and also features outdoor relaxation areas - not too dissimilar from the decking and outdoor beds as seen on Love Island. Joey is reportedly training with fitness expert Tony Sims to get him in shape for his upcoming fights. Tony has worked with Anthony Joshua and Conor Benn to help them keep in fighting fit shape. The reality star is one of a string of stars signed up by celebrity promoters Misfits Boxing for a number of fights. Mams Taylor, the co-promoter of Misfits Boxing has previously discussed Joey's hopes of winning. He is quoted by The Sun as saying: "Joey's got family background in boxing so I think he's excited to get in the ring and we're excited to have him. 'Joey's going to be very committed, we've spoken daily for the last few days and he's really on it.' The TV star has been showing off his confidence in social media posts, recent sharing photos alongside a caption stating: "I'm believing, dreaming, making it happen. How you feeling?" While in a recent video he shared online, he gave fans a tour of his home - which he has kitted out with Amazon products. He told fans in his video: 'Welcome to my home.. I know it looks smart, and trust me… it is smart. It's packed with smart tech that I installed, because it's easy, and I'm smart!' Upon entering his garden, he added: 'The exclusive 'Essex Beach Club'….with 24 hour security. I installed cameras in my garden because I thought I saw a dragon… but it was only a fox!' In his bedroom, he said: 'This is where the magic happens… Alexa wakes me up with mood lighting and my favourite playlist, tells me the news and the weather… and I don't even need to know how to tell the time because all I have to do is say 'Alexa, what's the time!'

I'm A Celeb star looks completely different as she shows off incredible weight loss and denies using fat jabs
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) I'M A Celeb star Nella Rose looked like a completely different person as she showed off her incredible weight loss. Nella, 27, stunned fans as she compared her physique before and after transitioning from a previous weight of 125 kilos. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Nella Rose looked like a completely different person as she showed off her incredible weight loss Credit: Instagram 4 She compared her physique before and after transitioning from a previous weight of 125 kilos Credit: Instagram In an Instagram video, the influencer posed confidently in a black lace dress with a plunging neckline, before the video cut to her flaunting her slimmer figure in a second glamorous gown. In her caption, she wrote: "And that's on Discipline," as predumed denial of using fat jabs. In 2023, Nella appeared on hit reality show I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! But she later slammed the ITV show for editing her to look like a "troublemaker". In a video uploaded to YouTube, she said: 'Whilst I was in there they depicted me to be like this troublemaker that was just going around beefing people. 'When I came out I realised that a lot of conversations were not aired, for example intimate emotional conversations that were leading up to certain comments that offended me weren't aired so now I just look like I'm moving mad. The resolutions weren't shown. 'I only got airtime when I was being thrown in with the snakes or when I was in conflict, there were so many conversations that were cut out.' Despite hitting out at the show, Nella still claimed that she 'would do it again, a hundred times over' after making friends for life with her fellow celebrity campmates. Her time in the jungle was marked by explosive rows with former politician Nigel Farage and First Dates star Fred Siriex. Fred and Nella had clashed after Fred made a remark that he was old enough to be her dad, which the social media star took major offence to due to her father's death in 2020. The on-screen argument received over 800 Ofcom complaints. Nella surrounded herself in more controversy after an explosive row with Nigel Farage over disagreements about the former politician's immigration policies. She told hosts Ant and Dec at the time: "I think that Nigel is an amazing person, until he speaks about what he really believes in, and it's like, 'you're a cool guy but why do you think like that?'" Nella received a slew of online abuse following her time on the show, and became the second campmate to be eliminated. 4 Nella went into the jungle for 17 days before being eliminated from the show Credit: Rex
