Love Island's Chloe Burrows confirms she's off the market after finding love
EXCLUSIVE: Love Island star Chloe Burrows has opened up about her own dating disasters ahead of her new Channel 4 documentary, UNTOLD: Love in the Wild - The Real Dating Experiment Love Island babe Chloe Burrows has confirmed she's officially off the market – but don't expect to see her packing on the PDA anytime soon. The 28-year-old blonde beauty, who shot to fame on the ITV2 dating show back in 2021, has finally moved on from her high-profile split with Toby Aromolaran – and she's found love the old-fashioned way. Speaking ahead of the release of her brand new Channel 4 documentary UNTOLD: Love in the Wild – The Real Dating Experiment, which drops tonight (June 4), Chloe spilled the tea on her new romance, her dating disasters, and why she's turned her back on dating apps for good. 'Yes, I've met someone in real life,' she confirmed with a smile. 'But I'm keeping this one private. No more public relationships for me.' Chloe and Toby captured the nation's hearts during their time in the villa, eventually finishing as runners-up in the 2021 series. But after a whirlwind romance outside the show – complete with moving in together and red carpet appearances – things fizzled out, and the pair called it quits in 2022. 'After my other Untold documentary, I'm standing on business,' Chloe explained. 'I'm not having a public relationship again. It's not a secret, just something I want to keep to myself.' In her new doc, which is part of Channel 4's hard-hitting UNTOLD strand, Chloe goes on a real-life dating mission to uncover why young Brits are ditching the apps and heading back to real-world romance. And spoiler alert – it gets messy. From speed dating to awkward blind dates to full-on rock climbing with strangers, Chloe dives into every type of face-to-face flirting you can imagine – and she's got the bruises (and stories) to prove it and when it comes to her own dating life away from the show, it hasn't always been plain sailing. 'There's one guy who looked nothing like his profile pic,' she laughed as she detailed the time she was catfished. 'I evacuated immediately. I said I needed the loo and never came back.' The documentary also dives into the dark side of app dating – from AI-generated profiles to safety concerns and ghosting culture. 'It's mad,' Chloe admitted. 'It's too easy to catfish now. You just don't know who's really behind the screen.' And while she's still glued to Love Island like the rest of us, don't expect her to pop back into the villa any time soon – even for All Stars. 'No. Not for me,' she said firmly. 'I've done my bit. I've moved on. I'll still be watching though – I'm a fan just like everyone else. I love the routine of it – dinner done by 9, sit down and watch Love Island, then bed.' The dating show returns next week for its 12th series marking a decade since its debut. Since her Island days, Chloe's carved out a brand new career as a presenter and doc host. Her first UNTOLD film tackled the dark side of fame, and now she's back for round two – and loving it. 'I love getting stuck in. I'm not just narrating – I'm actually going through these experiences,' she said. 'Let us [Islanders] enjoy any opportunity we get. If it's not your thing, that's fine - watch something else. Trolls will always troll. But for those of us taking this route, good on us.' And her advice for anyone still swiping left and right? 'Go outside. Go meet people. Honestly, try speed dating. The vibe was immaculate.'

5 movies leaving Netflix in May 2025 you have to watch now
May belongs to Vince Vaughn and the grandmothers. Nonnas, which premiered on May 9, has become a hit on Netflix and remains in the top 10 most popular movies list. From the kitchen to the football field, Untold: The Fall of Favre is a fascinating look into two notorious scandals involving Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre. Nonnas and The Fall of Favre will remain on the streamer when the calendar changes from May to June. Unfortunately, these five movies are departing the service. One of them is Batman Begins, the first movie in the spectacular Dark Knight trilogy. Check out the rest of the picks below. Recommended Videos We also have guides to the best new movies to stream, the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, the best movies on Amazon Prime Video, the best movies on Max, and the best movies on Disney+. Batman Begins (2005) In 2025, Christopher Nolan is the top filmmaker in Hollywood concerning power, notoriety, and recognition. 20 years ago, Nolan did not have the same juice he has now. However, Batman Begins is arguably the movie that changed his career. The previous Batman movies treated Bruce Wayne like a comic book character. Nolan crafted a more grounded and nuanced version of the character, starting with a gritty origin story in Batman Begins. After years of training and traveling globally, Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) returns to Gotham City and becomes Batman, the masked vigilante intent on ridding the city of crime. Batman's foes include his former mentor, Henri Ducard (Liam Neeson), and Scarecrow (Cillian Murphy), two men who believe Gotham isn't worth saving. After watching Batman Begins, stream The Dark Knight and Batman Begins, which also leave at the end of the month. Stream Batman Begins on Netflix. Den of Thieves (2018) What a comeback year it's been for Den of Thieves. The cult classic's popularity led to a sequel, Den of Thieves 2: Pantera, which premiered in January. Plus, a third movie is now in the works. However, these sequels would not have been possible without the original from 2018. Written and directed by Christian Gudegast, Den of Thieves is a heist film set in Los Angeles that pits the cops against the robbers. The lines are blurred as neither side is good nor evil. The police are led by Big Nick O'Brien (Gerard Butler), a renegade cop who frequently breaks the law to apprehend the enemy. The outlaws' leader is Ray Merrimen (Pablo Schreiber), a former Marine and mastermind of a heist crew. Merrimen's group plans to hit the Federal Reserve Bank, and Big Nick plans to stop it. It's going to get loud, violent, and chaotic once these two sides battle. Stream Den of Thieves on Netflix. Pride & Prejudice (2005) 'You have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love you.' Jane Austen fans will recognize that iconic line from Joe Wright's terrific adaptation of Pride & Prejudice. In the English countryside live the five Bennet sisters: Jane (Rosamund Pike), Elizabeth (Kiera Knightley), Mary (Talulah Riley), Kitty (Carey Mulligan), and Lydia (Jena Malone). The girls have been pressured by their father to find a suitable husband, particularly a wealthy one. The free-spirited Elizabeth has no plans to marry for money and will hold out for love. Could that man be Mr. Darcy (Matthew Macfadyen)? Good luck not falling in love with the will-they-won't-they dilemma between Elizabeth and Darcy. Stream Pride & Prejudice on Netflix. GoodFellas (1990) Martin Scorsese's greatest movie is about to leave Netflix, which is a crime against humanity. The late Ray Liotta plays Henry Hill, a Brooklyn teenager who advances within the ranks of the Mafia to become one of its top lieutenants. While working for the mafia, Henry becomes closely associated with Jimmy Conway (Robert De Niro), an Irish-American gangster, and Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci), a fiery criminal. The trio reaps the rewards of being in the mafia — money, drugs, and power. These items also lead to their demise. The brilliance of Goodfellas is how Scorsese divides the story into two halves. The first half glamorizes the mafia lifestyle, while the second half explores the dark consequences of being a gangster. Describing Goodfellas as a masterpiece does not do it justice. Stream Goodfellas on Netflix. Two Weeks Notice (2002) Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant starring in Two Weeks Notice is equivalent to Captain America and Iron Man joining the Avengers. Bullock and Grant became two of the '90s biggest names, especially in rom-coms. The stars aligned in Two Weeks Notice, Marc Lawrence's take on the opposites attract trope. Lawyer Lucy Kelson (Sandra Bullock) will do whatever it takes to protect the environment. Billionaire George Wade (Hugh Grant) only cares about himself and his money. Lucy works for George after he promises to save a community center. At first, oil and water are a better mix than Lucy and George. Over time, the duo come to appreciate one another's company and gain feelings. Even with a predictable ending, Two Weeks Notice will satisfy anyone who loves on-screen chemistry between the leads. Stream Two Weeks Notice on Netflix.

Jenn Sterger reveals 5 harrowing details cut from Netflix's Untold: The Fall of Favre
Viewers who tuned into Netflix's Untold: The Fall of Favre will be aware of Jenn Sterger, a model and presenter whose career in the sports world was cut short after a story ran – without her consent – exposing the sexual texts, voicemails and photos that married NFL player, Brett Favre, allegedly sent during her 2008 tenure working as a host for the New York Jets. Favre played for the team at the time and Sterger says she never accepted or encouraged his advances, nor actually spoke to him in person. A 2010 Deadspin article which exposed the story, despite Sterger's seeming protests for the alleged harassment and correspondence from Favre to remain private, sent shockwaves around the US. For a time, Favre's reputation took a minor hit but he soon bounced back, before being hit with a later scandal which saw him accused of diverting welfare funding into his own private business ventures. Many fans still defend Favre, who enjoyed a stellar reputation as a footballing legend and family man prior, meanwhile Sterger's contract was not renewed and she claims to have become a pariah on the sports scene. Favre and his wife, Deanna, stayed together, and many fans (and organisations) pledged to stay loyal to the football player over the model who inadvertently exposed a side of Favre's character that didn't live up to the image they had of him in their heads. This is where Jenn Sterger is today, how she first went viral and the details she says were cut from the Untold documentary. Jenn Sterger is a former model and game day host, who now dabbles more in the comedy and podcasting world. She accidentally went viral back in 2005, when she attended an American football game after working a bar shift, and, in her words, because someone had spilled a drink on her shirt decided to attend the game in just a bikini top instead. The game was a big one between rival teams (Miami Hurricanes and Florida State Seminoles) and as the camera scanned the crowd, it caught sight of Jenn and her friends cheering and commentator Brent Musberger remarked "1,500 red-blooded Americans just decided to apply to Florida State". After this, Jenn became known as The Cowgirl and her Facebook friends list exploded, as did offers of modelling work. "That's how Maxim found me, that's how Playboy found me [...] I played the game," she shares in Untold: The Fall of Favre. After writing an article 'Confessions of a Cowgirl' for Sports Illustrated, Sterger then got a job touring campuses and meeting coaches, discussing sports. In August 2008, Sterger got a job as the official game day host for the New York Jets, which is where she came to the attention of Brett Favre, one of the most popular and celebrated NFL players, who was very much married with two children at the time. As per the documentary and a later investigation, Sterger says she was just trying to do her job but was routinely contacted by Favre via text, voicemail and social media. In 2010, a Deadspin article publicly claimed that during the 2008 NFL season, Favre, then the quarterback for the New York Jets, allegedly sent a series of suggestive text messages ad voicemails inviting sideline reporter Sterger to his hotel room, along with explicit photos of himself. Responding to the allegations, the NFL launched an investigation but said it wasn't going to pass judgment on the nature of personal relationships, but was focused solely on whether Favre had violated the NFL's workplace conduct policy. Favre himself admitted to sending voicemails to Sterger but denied being the source of any explicit images. The fallout? Favre was slapped with a $50,000 fine – not for the alleged content, but for "failure to cooperate" with the investigation. The NFL ultimately stated that there wasn't enough evidence to determine whether Favre had sent the photos, nor could they conclude he had breached the league's personal conduct policy. The drama may have fizzled out in terms of official consequences, but the story remains one of the most talked-about controversies in NFL history and Sterger's career took a real beating because of it, while Favre was inducted in the Hall of Fame. In the documentary Sterger adds: "So, here's the craziest part about the whole scandal — I've never met Brett Favre. We've never been in the same room, we've never shaken hands, we had no kind of relationship, no rapport, nothing." These days, Sterger is more focussed on the comedy space (and building a female and queer-friendly community within it) and partakes in acting and voiceover artist work. She also describes herself in her Instagram bio as an "animal advocate, gym rat, nerd, professional tomboy". Sterger co-hosts a podcast, Not Today, with fellow comedian, Eddie Pence, and also delivers seminars to journalist students, positioning herself as a cautionary tale and advocating against 'rage bait' headlines. She urges her listeners and students to have critical thought when it comes to the media, to read beyond the headline and to cross reference stories between multiple sources before coming to a conclusion. Since the Netflix documentary aired, Sterger says she has been saddened by the amount of hatred directed towards women like her who want to tell their story, especially "against powerful men", even in the wake of the #MeToo movement. After watching the documentary for a second time, Sterger said she now feels sorry for Brett Favre, which she cites as a new sign of healing. Speaking on her podcast, Sterger said she wasn't obligated to take part in the NFL's "sham" investigation into what happened between her and Favre, but did so with the best of intentions. "I'm going to give people the benefit of the doubt that they're going to be good, honest people... [but] that's just not how the world works," she told her co-host, Eddie Pence. "Especially when there's so much money on the line." Sterger alleges on her podcast that she had an awkward interaction with the NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell, about the investigation, telling him she was expecting little to change as a result. "I told him at one point during our meeting ... he got really mad saying 'Are you saying I can't do anything? I'm the commissioner, I can do whatever I want'. I was like 'I'm not saying you can't, I'm saying you won't [...] I'm not worth anything to you, you're going to make more money off this man in his retirement selling his jerseys than any money you'll ever make off of my likeness'," she told listeners. Posting on Instagram, Sterger wrote about how invasive the investigation into the Favre scandal was, "In 2010, during the NFL's investigation I had to hand over 17 binders filled with texts, social media messages, emails and phone records to their investigators (who were former FBI guys). These were not just the texts with Favre," Sterger explained. "They were texts with family. Friends. Boyfriends. They combed through the most intimate moments of my life in an attempt to find a way to make this my fault. They couldn't find any," she continued. "As an independent contractor I was under no obligation to cooperate with them, but did so to clear my name and get the media blitz they had thrust upon me to stop. This is so much more [than dick] pics. It's about the abuse of power and a system designed to harm the little guy and protect the shield. A pretty woman sells magazine copies, newspapers, and is easy to hate. I was not the right martyr for the cause… but I was the perfect scapegoat." Sterger says Michael Vick, another NFL player, likely agreed to appear in the documentary as he is one of the few players unafraid to call the NFL out. Vick had his own reputation as a player tarnished after his dog fighting ring, which saw dogs put down at his request, was exposed. While condemning his animal cruelty past, Sterger caveated that Vick wasn't allowed the redemption arc via the NFL that Brett Favre was. "What he did was atrocious, however [Vick] has worked his ass off to make amends, but I think the thing that doesn't get touched upon in the documentary - and I'm sure it was for editing stuff and honestly because quite frankly it'll make a lot of people mad - I think they wanted to make sure the issue of the film didn't get skewed into a race issue... [But] that's truly a big part of it. The only players that came to my defence were Black NFL players." Sterger filmed with Netflix in her own home and asked the team to respect her wishes not to be made tearful on camera in her safe space. On her podcast, Sterger explains this happened for the most part, but that during one scene she was handed her a letter from the editor of Deadspin who 'sold her out' – which she found to be an emotional moment. "At the end of the day they handed me this letter, this print out, it was a letter or like an article that AJ, the guy from Deadspin had written, post going through AA (Alcoholics Anonymous), when he was making amends and things like that," she explains. "They made me read a letter he wrote and he basically said in there 'What I did to Jenn was wrong and I did it because I didn't see her as a person'. "That was a really hard thing to hear myself say out loud, I've always felt that the internet has just seen me as a picture."

'Untold: The Liver King' Is in Netflix's Top 10: Here Are 3 More 'Untold' Documentaries That Are Even Better
Every week, Netflix unveils its Top 10 lists for the week before, ranking TV shows and movies by viewership. One of this week's most popular films is Untold: The Liver King, a documentary about raw meat influencer (there really is an influencer for everything!) Brian Johnson. He's an online fitness guru who devours raw meat and promotes what he calls an "ancestral lifestyle." Johnson, whose body bulges with muscles that look exceptionally huge, has made millions of dollars selling supplements that he claims will help followers live their healthiest lives. But it was eventually revealed that he was using human growth hormones to help achieve his physique. The documentary is riveting because it doesn't let Johnson off the hook, forcing him to admit a lifetime of petty criminal behavior that eventually led to him duping his legions of fans and customers. Untold: The Liver King premiered last week and immediately peaked at No. 4 on the Netflix Top 10 but it's just one of several incredible documentaries in the Untold franchise. The series is Netflix's own original version of 30 for 30, the ESPN documentary series that also has a few compelling installments. (You can also watch more than a dozen 30 for 30 episodes on Netflix now, too.) But for my money, there are three more installments in the Untold series that are even better than The Liver King if you're looking for a "truth is stranger than fiction" kind of tale. Netflix Untold: Crime & Penalties (2021) One of the very best is Untold: Crime & Penalties, a 2021 film about a Connecticut man with mafia ties who bought a minor league hockey team for his 17-year-old son and left his son and his goons to manage it after he went to prison. Jimmy Galante, who had built his empire in waste management, bought his son, AJ, a team that was called the Danbury Trashers -- their mascot was an actual trash can -- who gained a reputation for being brutal and vicious on the ice. (Allegedly, Galante and his family were an inspiration for The Sopranos, and the cast of characters who show up in this film as associates affiliated with the hockey team are straight out of central casting.) The whole thing is fascinating (and often hilarious), right up until the FBI shuts the whole team down. Netflix Untold: The Girlfriend Who Didn't Exist (2022) Manti Te'o was a Heisman Trophy contender at Notre Dame. In his senior year, in 2012, it was revealed that his grandmother and girlfriend died within hours of each other, a devastating blow to the college student but one that was not entirely true. While Te'o's grandmother's death was no lie, it turns out that the woman he thought he had been in an online relationship with for a year, Lennay Kekua, never existed. Te'o appears in this riveting two-part docu-series to reveal the extent of the catfishing incident that shook his world, as does the perpetrator of the entire hoax, Naya Tuisaosopo, an acquaintance of Te'o's who duped him into believing he was in a real relationship. Netflix Untold: Malice At The Palace (2021) While the previous documentaries we've mentioned have all had something to do with sports or fitness off the field, the 2021 film Malice At The Palace exposes the truth behind one of the most notorious fights on an NBA court ever. In 2004, a brawl between players and fans of the Detroit Pistons and the Indiana Pacers broke out at the Palace of Auburn Hills, the Pistons' home court. Dubbed "Malice at the Palace," the fight caused utter mayhem in the arena and led to five players and five fans being arrested, and nine players, including Ron Artest, Stephen Jackson and Ben Wallace, getting suspended from the league as a result. The documentary, which features appearances from most of the players involved, examines how the entire fight was instigated by a fan and what really happened that night. The film also explores how the fallout from the fight has had lasting repercussions not just for the players involved but for the entire league.

Brett Favre's Wife Deanna Favre Opened Up About Their Struggles
Brett Favre's wife Deanna Favre has opened up over years about their marriage and relationship struggles, his addiction battle, and her cancer diagnosis. Is Brett Favre still married? Yes. The couple made it through their issues, and Deanna has been open about that. The couple's relationship is back in the headlines with a new Netflix documentary, Untold: The Fall of Favre, which focuses heavily on Favre's 2010 scandal in which he was accused of sending a lurid photo and messages to a New York Jets gameday host named Jenn Sterger. Sterger describes the behavior as unwanted in the documentary. Deanna Favre has not held back on the fact that the couple faced struggles in their marriage and lives. She has been very open about it over the years. 'I'm handling this through faith,' Deanna Favre said, when asked about the Sterger accusations, according to the documentary. Favre's wife wrote a lengthy article for Guideposts, in which she discusses various tragedies, including being diagnosed with breast cancer, her brother's death in an ATV accident, and Brett Favre's addiction to painkillers. "That first week of October 2004 was tough, one of those weeks where right out of the blue your life will never be the same again," she wrote. When she found out she had breast cancer, "Brett was on the phone in minutes. All he could say was, 'Oh, God,'" she wrote in that article, recounting how they grew up together in small-town Mississippi, going to high school together. They ended up having two daughters together and are still married today. According to People, Favre and his wife met at age 14, and she became pregnant with their first child at 19. In college, they had a rough patch, Deanna wrote, when she discovered Favre "had become a loud, rough party animal" and had a "mean" side. Deanna Favre revealed, "He was horribly addicted to painkillers, partly as a result of all the injuries he played with. We got through that. He went to The Menninger Clinic and got help. We went through counseling together and he was once again the best friend I'd ever had—and by now my husband." Over the years, they broke up but always got back together. 'There were times when we were broken up and we were seeing other people, but we still talked,' Deanna told The Journal Times. 'I always knew if the relationship didn't work out, we could always be friends.' They married in 1996 and had their second child together in 1999, People reported.
