From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. In dramatic scenes, accountant Dave, 24, could be heard moaning and groaning as he finally lost his virginity with surrogate partner Kat In the end, Dave was the only contestant on Virgin Island who had sex, and many viewers were quick to praise him. However, others also noted that it was still bewildering to see such an intimate moment play out on screen. He was the only one of the group who ended up having sex - but the others reached their own personal milestones. Those watching at home were delighted for Dave, but were surprised to see such an intimate moment play out on screen. Posts on X included: 'DAVE GOT IT!!! WAS ROOTING FOR THIS GUY; 'Well done Dave, you popped your cherry with some hippy dippy American paid to pleasure you, void of emotion ''see you later'', what an achievement; 'Dave briefly sounded like he was running a marathon. Congrats to him though!; 'The stud that is Dave with a marathon sex session; While some praised Dave for finally losing his virginity, others shared their surprise that such an intimate moment was played out on screen 'Just watched the last episode of #virginisland those waves crashing off the rocks had me HOWLING; 'Virgin Island isn't actually that bad but I still can't get my head around an actual sex surrogate that then ultimately has sex with the client. It baffles me.; 'Losing your virginity should be a special thing,something you remember all your life,this is just degrading these virgins and something they'll want to forget and regret in years to come…' It has now also emerged that six months after filming wrapped, Dave has a girlfriend, after gaining the self-esteem to join a dating app. He went onto say: 'I never would have been able to talk to her without this show. 'But I don't think my girlfriend will watch, for obvious reasons. She watched the first four episodes, but it's getting a bit much now. You don't want to see your partner with someone else, even if it was a year ago. 'She's openly said it's like watching a completely different person.' The therapists on the show have since defended their work to MailOnline after it drew widespread controversy online and explained that the show gives viewers a realistic idea of what intimacy is. During the show, all of the 12 virgins achieve a level of intimacy with either a surrogate or a coach during the course, but only one of the virgins actually goes all the way with a surrogate partner. Sexologist Celeste Hirschman describes the relationship between the client and surrogate as 'authentic' and shared how the dynamic can reflect what would happen in a 'real relationships', including the possibility of 'performance problems' from either the surrogate or client. Celeste continued: 'It is really an authentic relationship. So one thing that can happen in a relationship is that someone has performance problems, and so they would just communicate about it and say, oh, you know, something's not working here. Let's take a break. Let's try again.' The sexologist added: 'That authenticity is what actually prepares people to have real relationships out in the world. 'So it's not just like trying to force something and a lot of times surrogates do work with people who have pretty significant dysfunctions, and so they need to work with those kinds of things, both in their clients and if it comes up in themselves as well.' There's a 'triadic relationship' between the client, surrogate and a separate therapist to help tackle issues, including if the client develops feelings.

Watch excruciating moment Virgin Island contestant smacks expert's bum while recreating sex positions
VIRGIN Island fans were left cringing as Zac smacked an expert's bum while awkwardly attempting to recreate sex positions on camera. The excruciating moment aired during a racy challenge in last night's episode of Virgin Island. 5 5 The delivery driver was very keen to go all the way with Kat, so a sex expert showed him different sex positions he could try - while the other contestants watched. Zac went on a bed with the expert in the middle of the room and she directed him in different positions. Despite wearing clothes, the tension and heat for Zac was obvious. But viewers were left shocked when the expert asked him: "Wanna give it [bum] a little smack?" Zac did what he was told and gently smacked her cheek with his hand - while the onlookers applauded. Later in the episode, Channel 4 viewers were left shocked as Zac appeared to become irritated when he was rejected for sex. Zac was told to put his clothes back on after confronting her. about wanting to move forward. The session started with them both getting naked, but when they started doing a trust exercise things became tense quite quickly. He told her: 'I want to move forward… I want to touch you and be touched by you.' Kat pointed out he was primarily focused on touch element. Island's Zac told to get dressed after disastrous attempt at sex Clearly taken back by her reaction, Zac told her: 'I came in here confident and excited, and I don't know if you're as used to that in this line of work and I don't know if you find that intimidating.' His remarks did not go down well and Kat quickly stopped the session, telling him to get dressed. Those watching at home were surprised by the interaction, with one person commenting: 'Zac needs a lesson on boundaries and the fact that sex isn't guaranteed- def needs talks about rejection.' A second said: 'Zac he's acting very creepy, he's definitely not there for the right reasons.' While a third added: 'I think the therapist wants Zac to leave the course." And a fourth questioned: 'Desperate to know what Zac did to make the sex therapist say it's time to get dressed.' Speaking a year on from filming, Zac has revealed the process has given him more confidence but admits: 'The bulk of the practical and physical skills that were explored have eluded me. "Being able to express my thoughts and feelings is a work in progress." 5 5 5

The Major Kraft Mac And Cheese Recall That Went International
The equivalent of roughly 19.5 million bowls of Kraft macaroni and cheese were recalled because the product was unsafe to eat back in 2015. Single boxes, as well as 3-, 4-, and 5-packs, of dried noodles and powdered cheese, unfortunately, also potentially contained stray pieces of metal. The unwanted addition ended up in the boxes of mac because of a machinery issue; it was found that two pieces of stainless steel were rubbing against each other in a piece of equipment, which caused metal fragments to fall into the food. This recall included a total of 6.5 million boxes across countries in South America and the Caribbean, such as Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, and the Virgin Islands, as well as the continental United States and Puerto Rico. Obviously, accidentally ingesting metal could be very serious, and eight people did discover pieces in their boxes of mac. However, there were no reports of any injuries or illnesses related to the foreign object contamination. Read more: Discontinued Costco Grocery Products We Probably Won't Get Back As strange as it sounds, foreign objects — like the stray metal in the aforementioned boxes of Kraft mac and cheese — are among the most common reasons that foods are recalled. As such, this was not the only time Kraft had issues with inedible items in its products. There have actually been a number of Kraft Food recalls that affected millions, including one that had to do with a Kraft Singles choking hazard. Because of a packaging snafu in September 2023, the plastic film covering each piece of processed cheese failed to come off in one fell swoop in some cases. The strip of plastic that was left behind on the slices caused gagging and, in some cases, choking, but there were no reports of serious injuries or illnesses. You would think that the company would figure out a way to avoid this issue, but this has actually been a recurring recall. After the metal mac and cheese incident in March 2015, Kraft Singles were recalled for the very same plastic film issue in both July and September. When it came to food safety, 2015 wasn't a great year, both for the Kraft Company and lovers of processed American cheese products. For more food and drink goodness, join The Takeout's newsletter.
