He used his first-ever TikTok to address the shock claims ISLE SAY Love Island's Dejon responds to step-sister's claims that he's a 'narcissist' and 'manipulative' insisting it's 'false' LOVE Island's Dejon has clapped back at "false" slurs on his character after his step sister branded him a "narcissist."

Niah, who is not biologically related to Dejon but shares a brother with him, took to TikTok to give fans an unfiltered glimpse into the 'real Dejon' and insisted he is "manipulative" and "narcissistic". She has even gone as far as to write her own account in a tell-all book named 'Surviving Dejon', which is already available to buy. After the rumours swirled - and coming under fire for his controversial behaviour on the show and being branded a "gaslighter" by fans - he has spoken out. Dejon appeared topless in his new clip, donning a bling diamond necklace. He strolled around a room with crisp white walls and exposed black beams and initially thanked fans for their support. He said of the good wishes: "It really means the world to me, honestly especially in times like now. "I feel like there's a lot of false stories out there about me which are very untrue, unfair and I feel like from that, really big up to my supporters. "I'm excited and looking forward to showing you guys who I really am. Watch the moment Maya Jama takes savage swipe at another girl after Meg and Dejon miss out on Love Island final "For now, lets go play some table tennis." The end of the clip showed him reunited with Meg as they played table tennis. SHOCK CLAIM In her scathing six minute video, his step sister Niah claimed that what viewers have seen on TV is an accurate reflection of how Dejon behaves in real life. She began: " So I've decided to speak out because I've been silent for way too long and I know that I will be receiving probably a lot of backlash from my family for this. LOVE ISLAND VOTING PERCENTAGES TONI and Cach won the Love Island 2025 final - yet what were the exact voting percentages? Las Vegas waitress Toni Laites and professional dancer Cach Mercer went head-to-head with OG islanders Shakira Khan and Harry Cooksley in a nail-biting finale. However, Toni and Cach were triumphant and won the summer series after surviving a love triangle just two weeks before the final. A results table shared on Love Island's Instagram account this afternoon showed Toni and Cach were the runaway winners on the night, taking over a third of the votes, with 33.5% of viewers backing them for the crown. However, Shakira and Harry drew a sizeable 26.2% of the votes, and Yas and Jamie were not far behind taking 22% on the nose. Aesthetics practitioner Angel, 26, only made her debut on July 17, but managed to secure an impressive 18.3% of the overall voting audience with Casa Amor boy Ty. "You guys are all clearly very traumatised from seeing Dejon on TV and seeing everything that he's doing and watching everything play out it seems as though no one is holding him accountable. She went on to say: 'Dejon is a narcissist, he's manipulative. I've been telling everyone this for the past 10 years now but no one believed me. And it's just crazy now that the whole of the UK can see what I've been trying to explain to people for so long. She continued: 'I didn't want to speak out on this. That's why I haven't made any videos directly explaining anything about him because I know that it can affect my family in a bad way. "And I do completely understand if they are upset with me for this post. She added: "One thing I will say is, I knew from the beginning, from the first episode I knew exactly what was going to go down. "It's just a shame because I don't want him to be seen like this, but I genuinely don't think that he sees that he's a narcissist, you know? and I actually do feel bad for Meg in a sense." Speaking about the book alongside a trailer for it, she penned: 'This book answers everything. reasons why I spoke out. Why fear kept me silent for so long. How I lost everyone and everything I ever cared about. 'It reveals the truth behind the rumours I never wanted to address. I need to tell my truth in the way that I feel in control. This is not for attention, creating this book was like therapy for me. 'I would never put my reputation on the line or lose the people I loved if I didn't have a powerful reason to finally speak.' Niah even posted a trigger warning for the book as it contains: "emotionally intense and potentially distressing content". DEJON'S TAKE Speaking to the Daily Mail previously, Dejon has hit back at claims of him being a 'narcissist', he said: "I do take full accountability for how I communicated at times in the villa. "The girls who were on the show with me say I'm not a narcissist, I'm not a gaslighter, all of these things they have seen online, it means a lot to me because they spent 24 hours a day with me. "I could have handled situations better but when it comes to being a 'narcissist' and these words, empathy is definitely something that I have, it's something I had for Meg, for Harry, and when Meg was upset, I was there for her, and when Harry was upset it would break my heart. "Me and Harry had a thing, we called it fitness and feelings where we would go to the gym and I would say "don't worry H, we can be free here, our tears, people will think they're sweat."' 6 Fans had accused the businessman of being a 'gaslighter' on the series Credit: ITV 6 He failed to reach the series final with Meg Credit: ITV

The Love Island Rich List 2025 reveals surprising star with £10m fortune – and it's NOT Molly-Mae Hague
Scroll down to find out which Love Islander can demand £16,800 for a single social media post ISLE SAY The Love Island Rich List 2025 reveals surprising star with £10m fortune – and it's NOT Molly-Mae Hague Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) 1. Tommy Fury, £10m 10 Tommy Fury earned a whopping £3.7m from a boxing match Tommy made a staggering £16,429 every day last year, thanks to lucrative boxing matches and brand deals. His company Tommy Fury TNT Ltd recorded profits of £6,134,097, while another company, Fury TNT, has £258,651 in reserves. Tommy – who was runner-up on the fifth season of Love Island with Molly-Mae Hague – was paid £1.1m for his 2023 boxing match against KSI and £1.6m to fight influencer Jake Paul earlier that year. The latter match netted him £3.7m, thanks to his 35% share of the huge pay–per-view takings. He also collects £150k annually as a Mars & Spencer ambassador and was paid six figures last year for his autobiography Lightning Can Strike Twice: My Life As A Fury. 2. Molly-Mae Hague, £8m 10 Molly-Mae Hague was paid more than £1m for a L'Oréal brand deal After leaving the villa with Tommy, Molly-Mae's not been doing too badly, either. She was paid more than £1m for a L'Oréal brand deal and earned a similar fee for her Beauty Works hair extensions range. Her Prime Video documentary, Molly-Mae: Behind It All – which followed her split from Tommy, before the pair reconcile in the second part of the series – was worth six figures. Producers are now offering a similar fee for another instalment. In September, she released her clothing line Maebe, which sold out in 24 minutes. Her MMH Group Holdings Ltd took earnings of £2.5m, while her fake-tan company Filter has £255,275 in the bank. Amazingly, she can also charge at least £10k for a single Instagram post to her 8.5m followers, often endorsing brands such as Gymshark and Aveeno. 3. Dani Dyer, £7.1m 10 Dani Dyer has a string of lucrative endorsements to her name Since winning Love Island with Jack Fincham in 2018, Dani has been raking it in. Due to tie the knot imminently with footballer and father of their twin daughters, Jarrod Bowen, she has a string of lucrative endorsements to her name. Her partnerships with My Babiie, Johnson's Baby and Pampers can earn her £16,800 for a single social media post. JoJo Siwa takes a swipe at ex Kath Ebbs after moving on with Love Island star Chris Hughes She hosts the Live And Let Dyers podcast with actor dad Danny for a six-figure fee, and the pair are currently filming a series for Sky, in which they attempt to run a caravan park together, for a similar amount. Since moving in with fiancé Jarrod, who plays for West Ham, she has rented out her five-bedroom Essex house for £3,150 a month and another flat for £2,150 a month. Her company, I Want It, I Got It Ltd has £178,104 in the bank. Now that's a wedding fund! 4. Megan Barton-Hanson, £7m 10 Megan Barton-Hanson has an army of loyal subscribers paying £16 every month for content She may have deactivated her OnlyFans account at the request of producers when she entered the villa in 2018, but Megan is now one of the site's top earners, netting an estimated £1.5m every month and up to £10k for a five-minute-long personalised video. It's all thanks to an army of loyal subscribers paying £16 every month for content. One of them even has a fetish for pretending to be a bug, and paid Megan £30k over the course of two months for videos of her 'squishing' him. Outside of Only Fans, Megan has released her own range of mushroom supplements, Foreea, and has sponsorship deals with Shein, White Fox and Love Honey that make her £200k. As of last year, her company MBH Productions Ltd held a cool £388,873 cash in the bank. 5. Olivia Attwood, £6m 10 Olivia Attwood has just signed another six-figure deal to become a face of a make-up brand Since coming third with Chris Hughes in 2017, Olivia has been busy getting filthy rich herself, fronting a string of ITV series, including Getting Filthy Rich, The Price Of Perfection and Bad Boyfriends, for which she has been paid £350k a pop. She also receives several thousand per appearance as a Loose Women panellist. Her new Sunday-afternoon Kiss radio show, The Sunday Roast with TOWIE's Pete Wicks, pays six figures per year – and has seen a surge in people tuning in. Olivia also has a £150k collaboration with Abbott Lyon jewellery and has just signed another six-figure deal to become a face of make-up brand Maybelline. 6. Kem Cetinay, £5.5m 10 Kem Cetinay has clinched a series of lucrative contracts He won the 2017 series with Amber Davies and, despite the fact their relationship ended four months later, Kem has clinched a series of lucrative contracts. His range with Primark Man is worth £500k per year and includes a grooming range, Kem Cuts, which landed him a separate £1m deal. He has appeared on numerous reality TV shows, including Dancing On Ice, netting a five-figure salary, hosted Love Island: The Morning After until 2022, and is a presenter on This Morning In July last year, Kem was announced as the new radio host of The Capital Weekender shows on Friday and Saturday nights, reportedly signing a six-figure deal. 7. Olivia Bowen, £5.1m 10 Olivia Bowen can command six-figure fees for working with brands Olivia and now-husband Alex may not have clinched the second series of Love Island back in 2016, but the pair – who finished second – have proven themselves to be huge winners financially. With 3 million Instagram followers, Olivia can command six-figure fees for working with brands such as Glade and Philips, and admits that in a good month she can earn up to £50k. But she has long-term plans, and spent lockdown studying for a diploma in interior design for their multimillion-pound property empire, The Bowen House Limited. The couple now own six properties, including a £128k one-bed in Birmingham and a £175k three-bed, plus two mansions, as well as a plot of land they're developing in Spain. Not bad for a former sales executive who used to earn £18k a year. 8. Maura Higgins, £4.6m 10 Maura Higgins landed six-figure deals with L'Oréal and Ann Summers After leaving the fifth series in 2019, the Irish firecracker landed six-figure deals with L'Oréal and Ann Summers, and has been confirmed as a presenter on Love Island USA: Aftersun for the second year running. But following her time on I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2024, those brand deals sky-rocketed and she's expected to earn £1.5m this year alone. On top of a sold-out clothing range with Oh Polly, the former ring girl has partnered with leisure clothing brand Alo, and is often seen in five-star locations in the Maldives, Dubai and Mykonos. Oh, and she can earn a whopping £31k per social media post. 9. Alex Bowen, £4.5m 10 Alex Bowen earns £75k per year from social media posts Former scaffolder Alex has bagged £700k from DJ gigs, and earns £75k per year from social media posts, promoting the likes of sportswear brand Gym King. On top of his and wife Olivia's property empire, Alex also earns £100k per year for his workout app, and is a keen car collector, who last year splashed out £30k on a Ford Ranger. In 2023, the couple sold their Essex mansion for £1.3m – a cool £500k profit on their purchase price – and home is now a luxury four-bedroom pad they built themselves on a £250k plot in rural Essex, complete with a swimming pool, a home gym and, of course, a Love-Island-style outdoor kitchen. 10. Amber Davies, £4m 10 Amber Davies landed a string of lucrative deals including one worth £500k The Welsh actress turned down a role in a production of Hairspray to appear on Love Island – and boy did it pay off. After winning the third series in 2017, Amber landed a string of lucrative deals including one worth £500k with fashion label Motel Rocks, before finding West End stardom. She's currently appearing in The Great Gatsby at London's Coliseum theatre, after netting £1.5m starring in 9 To 5 The Musical, as well as roles such as Marty McFly's mum Lorraine in Back To The Future: The Musical, and Pretty Woman. Last year, she bagged £60k by taking part in Dancing On Ice, and is now investing in property letting with her company Forty 7 Properties Ltd. Bravo!
