The islanders from London on the hunt for romance in the Love Island villa
As Love Island's tenth anniversary series heats up in sun-drenched Mallorca, two contestants from London continue to cause a stir, and they're not just turning heads, they're turning the whole villa upside down. With shock dumpings, bombshell arrivals, and an all-new 'Sleepover Villa' twist, this summer of love has already proven unpredictable. But through it all, two familiar faces from the capital - Dejon Noel-Williams and Helena Ford - are still in the running, and there's plenty of drama surrounding both.

Originally coupled up with Megan Moore, Dejon has kept viewers guessing by openly exploring new connections - including a recent flirt-filled date with bombshell Billykiss and a stint in the now-infamous Sleepover Villa. But it's not just his cheeky charm that's getting attention. Outside the villa, Dejon already leads a life of luxury. As the son of former Premier League footballer Gifton Noel-Williams - who played for clubs like Watford and Stoke City - he's grown-up rubbing shoulders with sports royalty, including none other than David Beckham, according to CapitalFM. Though he shares his dad's passion for football, Dejon forged his own path as a qualified personal trainer. His focus on fitness has clearly served him well in the villa - and not just physically.

The glamorous flight attendant entered the villa single and hopeful, but her early connection with Connor Phillips fizzled quickly. A brief spark with footballer Harry Cooksley soon turned sour when his attention drifted elsewhere - but Helena hasn't backed down. Lately, she's been caught in not one but two complicated love triangles: one involving Harry and Shakira Khan, and another with Harrison Solomon, 22, and Toni Laites. Though the romance is messy, Helena has remained a central figure, often at the heart of the drama. And she's no stranger to the limelight - she's close friends with ex-Islander Zara McDermott and is also linked to celebrity offspring like Spencer Morgan (Piers Morgan's son) and Angus Lineker (Gary Lineker's son), according to the Radio Times. Her Instagram showcases a globe-trotting lifestyle, with snaps from Dubai, Lake Como, the Maldives, Monaco, and beyond. Love Island Series 12 continues nightly on ITV2 and ITVX, with episodes also available to stream on YouTube. Fans can now also watchalong live with the hosts of Love Island: The Morning After, making this one of the most interactive seasons yet.

Dumped Love Island stars brutally hit out at fellow Islanders for 'gameplaying'
It was a huge night in Love Island last night as four Islanders were dumped from the villa in a savage twist - and they've now broken their silence with a few scathing words It was the end of the road for Shea, Caprice, Poppy and Will in Love Island last night, as they learnt the decisions of fellow Islanders had huge consequences. Caprice, Poppy and Will's time on the ITV2 show was short lived as they failed to make their way back to the main villa after Remell, Dejon and Emily decided to stick with their original partners. Over at the main villa, Shea and the rest of the villa were left gutted when they realised Helena's decision to recouple and bring Giorgio meant he had been dumped. The main villa were left in tears at the revelation, and over at The Sleepover, it was clear Poppy and Caprice were left confused with Remell and Dejon's decisions to stick with Alima and Meg. Earlier in the show, we saw Remell and Poppy share a kiss outside the challenge. Not only that, he revealed he would couple up with Poppy 12 hours earlier if he had the choice. Following their dumping, Caprice and Poppy have spoken out, as they accuse the pair of 'gameplaying'. During her exit interview, when asked how she felt when Remell chose Alima, she said: "Shocked and surprised. I feel like Remell perhaps didn't go with his true feelings, he said less than 12 hours before on truth or dare game that he'd recouple with me and he wanted to take things further." However, it was fellow Sleepover Villa roommate Dejon who she accused of gameplaying. When asked about how she felt about him going back to Meg, she said: "I think he's playing a game, I think he's there until the end and Meg will help." Dejon was paired with Caprice in the Sleepover Villa, and the pair seemed to hit it off from the start. The two shared a number of laughs, as Dejon was heard telling Caprice she was going to be trouble. When it came to the recoupling decision, Dejon was adamant he wanted to remain with "my Meg". At the time, Caprice told Maya Jama she wasn't surprised, saying she'd been confused the whole time. Expanding in her exit interview, the former Islander said: "I expected it. From the beginning I felt like he knew what he was going to do. I think he's playing a bit of a game though, but I expected it from him." Elsewhere, dumped Islander Shea who spent weeks in the villa with both couples had his say. While he said he was pleased Remell and Alima stay together, he expressed his uncertainty towards Meg and Dejon. "It's a bit different with them, I'm not too sure if it's going to last. Just from what I was seeing it's a bit one sided from Meg's side. Only time will tell," he said. Tonight's episode will see the fallout from the past few days - as a snippet teased a huge argument between Alima and Remell. Have his actions at The Sleepover ruined his relationship for good? Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
