ITV reality star reveals he's engaged to stunning model girlfriend as he proposes during romantic getaway
Kavos Weekender star Ethan Aveiro has got engaged to model partner Natalie Taylor after two years together. Ethan, who was a rep on the ITV2 show alongside David Potts in 2023, proposed to his girlfriend during a romantic holiday in Crete. The couple, who have a million followers on TikTok, shared their happy news in a very romantic video on Tuesday. In the clip, Natalie showed off her incredible figure in a white mesh dress, while Ethan opted for a cream co-ord for the special occasion. The reality star secretly filmed the surprise proposal and explained: 'It's the 10th of June 2025. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'It's currently half six, and if Nat gets the timings right she'll be engaged in half an hour.' A montage of romantic photos then flashed up with Alex Warren's song Ordinary playing over the top. It cut to a shocked Natalie walking out, with Ethan getting down on one knee and popping the question. As a woman played the violin in the background, Natalie was seen nodding before Ethan put the ring on her finger and they shared a kiss. Natalie showcased the diamond ring on several occasions, including putting it towards the camera in one clip. Fans and celebrity pals rushed to the comment section to congratulate the loved-up couple. The pair met in 2023 after Ethan found fame on Kavos Weekender. Following the series, ITV decided to 'cancel' the Weekender franchise ahead of the return of Big Brother that same year. The wild series, which has been running for 10 years, followed holiday reps and a group of young adults in some of Europe's most renowned party destinations. Boozy partygoers jetted off to the likes of Ibiza, Magaluf and Kavos over the past decade and took part in the series. Weekender has produced a number of popular reality stars including David Potts and Jordan Davies, who are said to be 'gutted' by the news. An insider told The Sun: 'The cast were recently informed that planned filming later this year has been cancelled and the show won't be coming back. They're all gutted as many of them have been on it for years and it's always been a popular format. 'ITV2 have had to make some difficult decisions with the return of Big Brother taking up a big portion of the schedule later in the year, and it looks like the Weekender series is one of those casualties... 'Obviously in telly land shows can always be resurrected, so it's not necessarily gone forever, but for the foreseeable future it's off the cards.' For series one to three, Weekender was based in Magaluf at the Lively Hotel before moving to Ibiza for the fourth series in 2015 until 2020. Following the coronavirus pandemic, the ITV2 show relocated for the tenth series to the Morfeas Hotel in Kavos. The show followed two different sets of young people aged between 18 and 24 enjoying boozy nights and for some it was their first holiday without their parents.

As Celebrity Big Brother returns, these are the most memorable former winners
A new batch of celebrities are poised to enter the Celebrity Big Brother house as the iconic reality show returns to ITV. The likes of Hollywood actor Mickey Rourke, EastEnders actress Patsy Palmer and former Tory MP Sir Michael Fabricant are among the contestants who are reportedly set to compete in 2025. While many famous faces have graced the Big Brother house over the years, only a select few have achieved the ultimate victory. Who will join the ranks of previous winners remains to be seen as the new series kicks off? Here we take a look at some of the past winners: 2024 – David Potts After a six-year break, the show returned to screens in 2024, with reality TV star David Potts winning the hearts of the nation. Potts, 31, appeared as a rep on ITV reality show Ibiza Weekender, which follows young Britons visiting Spain for a holiday and the reps who show them a good time. Potts has also been on Kavos Weekender, Celebs Go Dating and Celebs On The Farm. He beat finalists Strictly Come Dancing professional Nikita Kuzmin and Coronation Street actor Colson Smith, to the title, in a year which also hosted former X Factor judges Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh in the house. September 2018 – Ryan Thomas Coronation Street star Ryan Thomas fought back tears when he was crowned winner of Celebrity Big Brother in September 2018. He spoke about how the public supported him through the Roxanne Pallett punch scandal, after the actress accused him of of deliberately hurting her with a punch. Viewers defended it as play-fighting. Thomas, 40, was played the clip of the incident during his post-eviction interview, and told host Emma Willis how scared he had been when it was unfolding. 'It was totally unexpected,' he said. 'It was a sign of affection that I've used on Gabby (Allen), the boys, and unexpected because there was nothing in it.' The actor, who won Dancing On Ice in 2024, is now returning to Coronation Street to reprise the role of Jason Grimshaw, after nearly a decade away from the cobbles. February 2018 – Courtney Act Australian drag queen Courtney Act won the show in February 2018, beating Reform UK member Ann Widdecombe in the live final. At the time, the star of RuPaul's Drag Race, 43, whose real name is Shane Jenek, said it was 'slightly ironic' to win the show in the 'year of the woman'. Widdecombe said she was glad that a man won the series because she hates 'tokenism'. August 2017 – Sarah Harding Former Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding had tearful breakdowns and furious rants before winning the show in August 2017. The singer, who died aged 39 in 2021 after being diagnosed with breast cancer, narrowly beat singer Amelia Lily. Former Made In Chelsea star Sam Thompson came third. She formed a relationship with fellow contestant Chad Johnson, but they reportedly split shortly after the programme concluded. February 2017 – Coleen Nolan Loose Women star Coleen Nolan, 60, won the show in February 2017, beating Irish pop twins Jedward to the top spot. She said her second time on the show was 'much worse' than her 2012 appearance because of the 'brutal' tests that creators put in front of the housemates. In third place was TV cleaning guru Kim Woodburn, who was challenged over her angry outbursts and controversial attitude throughout her time in the house. August 2016 – Stephen Bear Despite being at the centre of bullying complaints, reality star Stephen Bear won in August 2016 during a series filled with controversy. Housemate Christopher Biggins was removed over offensive comments, and there were complaints to media watchdog Ofcom about frequent nudity and scenes of sexual content between Bear and contestant Chloe Khan. The Ex On The Beach star, 35, made further headlines when his girlfriend Lillie Lexie Gregg entered the Celebrity Big Brother house and broke up with him over his fling with Khan. Bear faced the public vote every week after receiving an eternal nomination from his fellow housemates, and clashed frequently in the house with Aubrey O'Day and Renee Graziano. He was jailed in March 2023 for sharing a private video of him having sex with his ex-girlfriend, Georgia Harrison, on his OnlyFans website. Last year the disgraced TV star repaid £22,305 that he illegally earned from the video after a judge made a confiscation order for that amount. February 2016 – Scotty T Geordie Shore star Scotty T won in February 2016 in a series filled with viral moments. Former Hollyoaks actress Stephanie Davis was runner-up, followed by West End star Darren Day in third place and US reality star Tiffany Pollard in fourth. More than 200 people complained after Channel 5 aired scenes in which Pollard mistakenly thought fellow contestant David Gest had died. The reality star became hysterical when Angie Bowie confided in her that 'David's dead' – after she was told that her former husband David Bowie had died. Gest had been having a nap at the time. The producer, 62, died three months later, and Pollard was forced to remove David Is Dead slogan T-shirts from her website. Scotty T, real name Scott Timlin, 36, has also appeared on TV shows Just Tattoo Of Us and Your Face Or Mine
