Love Island's Harrison Solomon and Lauren Wood to 'REUNITE for the first time on live TV' since he quit the villa to be together .... after making his first public UK appearance WITHOUT her
Love Island's Harrison Solomon and Lauren Wood will be reunited on live TV after he dramatically quit the villa for them to be together. The footballer, 22, left the show in scenes which aired on Friday night in order to his join love interest, 26, who had been dumped at the beginning of the episode. Now according to The Sun the pair will come face-to-face as guests on Sunday's spin-off Aftersun following the main show. MailOnline have contacted ITV for comment. The state of their relationship is currently unknown and despite his huge gesture to leave the island Harrison has not been pictured with Lauren since his return to the UK. However he was spotted on a boys' night as he attended Wembley Stadium to see Oleksandr Usyk take on Daniel for the heavyweight boxing championship on Saturday. Harrison cut a stylish figure in a white oversized sports shirt and wide legged jeans as he joined close pal and Celebrity Aesthtic Dr Rosh. The footballer left the show in scenes which aired on Friday night in order to his join love interest (pictured) who had been dumped at the beginning of the episode. Despite his shock and premature exit from the Love Island villa, the hunk appeared in great spirits while heading to take his seat for the much-anticipated match. It comes after Harrison broke his silence on his famous love triangle with Lauren and Toni Laites and if he regretted having sex on TV. Friday saw new bombshell Angel Swift make a dramatic entrance and couple up with Ty Isherwood, which left Lauren single and immediately axed, though she quickly begged Harrison to leave with her. After sleeping on the decision, Harrison informed the Islanders he would also be leaving and he has now revealed whether he sees a future with Lauren. Speaking for the first time after his exit, Harrison finally broke his silence on the love triangle drama, which saw Toni left devastated after she learned he had slept with Lauren twice. 'I was relatively new to the Villa so I wanted to explore connections and I came to the conclusion that Toni was the better suit for me,' Harrison said of the drama. 'Then when I went to Casa there was an instant spark and connection with Lauren, I knew from day one there was something special there. 'When I came back from Casa something in the back of my mind was still thinking about Toni. 'If I had left with Lauren when Shakira had the choice to send me home, I think I would've always regretted not giving me and Toni one final go as we left on good terms before Casa. 'That's the reason I gave a little speech before the recoupling on the Terrace. As soon as I did that, I felt terrible towards Lauren. For two days, I tried to go tunnel vision with Toni but there was something holding me back.' Harrison also hinted that he will be pursuing things with Lauren now he has left the villa, saying he didn't feel like his experience was 'the same' after she left. 'I felt like Lauren and I naturally gravitated towards each other, the connection we have is so so special I wasn't ready to leave it,' he gushed. 'When Lauren first got the text saying she was being dumped my initial reaction to her leaving was ''I'm going''. 'I came here and found what I wanted. Having said that, I didn't want to make an emotional decision, I'm quite an indecisive person and so I wanted to take my time with it, rather than leave and regret what I'd done. 'The fact I stayed a day later and processed everything really helped me,' he continued. 'Me leaving was making a big statement. It shows her I'm really into her and see a serious future with her.' While Harrison currently lives in Florida, Lauren is based in York but the footy star insisted he doesn't think the distance will be an issue. 'We'll make the distance work! It will be no issue,' he vowed. 'We left on good terms but the two days prior to leaving we weren't talking properly so it would be good to have a conversation, get everything out in the open and hopefully move forward from there. 'I feel very strongly about the girl, I wouldn't have left if I didn't. I have no doubt in my mind that she'll be my girlfriend one day. 'I'm buzzing to see her and reunite! She's such a great girl.'

Laura Woods: I don't worry about my appearance as much since having a baby
Laura Woods is in the middle of telling Telegraph Sport how she has found returning to work since giving birth when her French bulldog, Lu, walks in front of her laptop camera. A couple of minutes later, her mother enters the room holding an excitable baby Leo, who was born in January. 'In answer to your question, I get no sleep!' Woods laughs. The sports presenter first returned to work in April as part of TNT Sports' coverage of the Champions League and, while she was ready to go back, she was understandably nervous. 'I was very worried that I would be off the mark,' she says. 'I was worried that I would have lost some of my edge or sharpness. 'I kept forgetting names, which started during pregnancy. It's a thing that everyone talks about. You don't think you're going to get it. You get a bit of 'baby brain' and it's hard when you're presenting because a lot of the time stuff is thrown at you and you don't see it before it goes live. It's live TV, so you have to react. You have to be sharp. 'I was sitting having conversations at home and forgetting things in normal life, like the name of a fork, I'd be like, 'What is this called?' Because I had that so much in pregnancy, I was really worried about that, I was nervous about getting little kind of brain drop-outs. But I surprised myself. I wasn't awful!' Woods, 38, speaks candidly about confronting the anxieties she held when she first stepped back in front of the camera. Women who work in television are so often judged by how they look and Woods says she was initially concerned about her appearance and how her body had changed after giving birth.

BBC Breakfast descends into chaos as girl screams in agony after crashing scooter live on air - and rival camera crew invade broadcast
BBC Breakfast descended into chaos on Tuesday morning as a girl crashed her scooter live on air while a journalist reported on location - and a rival camera crew gatecrashed their segment. The latest episode saw Sally Nugent, 53, and Ben Thompson, 44, - who stepped in for John Kay, 55 - share the latest news and headlines with viewers. Correspondent Andy Verity joined the pair from South London to report on the Post Office inquiry. But the report was a little chaotic due to a number of reasons as he stood outside the Oval's Alex Stewart Gate to read the first findings of the report. While journalist Andy was talking to presenter Ben, he was unaware that a young girl fell off her scooter right behind him and she began to cry. Just moments after finishing the segment, Ben said: 'Andy now, thanks very much. 'Apologies for some of the audio quality there... 'But continued coverage of those findings as we get them available on BBC News and the BBC News website too.' Not only that, another camera crew managed to get themselves in shot while Andy was filming. A man holding his camera and a woman holding her mobile phone were seen in the background looking deep in a discussion about a camera shot. As they discussed, the woman walked further and further back into Andy's shot, not realising that she was in full view. Another woman walked straight into the camera view and quickly jumped out. Meanwhile Andy was a true professional and kept presenting his segment, not aware of what was going on behind him. He told viewers: 'What we're expecting later this morning is to find out exactly what Sir Wyn Williams, the inquiry chair, wants to do about compensation. 'As you mentioned, this is an epic scandal, it goes back to 1999, or some say even further, when these prosecutions started.' It comes after Susanna Reid left fans 'surprised and confused' as she made a return to the BBC 11 years after quitting the channel's Breakfast show. Over the years Susanna, 54, has had a very successful career in the journalism industry, having worked for a number of the main broadcasters in the UK. The 54-year-old is arguably best known for currently presenting ITV's Good Morning Britain, after taking on the role in 2014. But some may have forgotten that she also used to work for one of ITV's rival channels. Susanna presented BBC Breakfast alongside Bill Turnbull, 66, and Charlie Stayt, 63, between 2001 and 2014. And on Sunday she returned to take part in a panel with Laura Kuenssberg, 48. Susanna shared as snap of the day on Instagram and captioned the post: 'SUNDAY! Always fantastic to be on @bbclaurak back at the BBC, this morning with @danielkebede and James Harding @theobserveruk @oversnap. 'Back @gmb tomorrow!' Many rushed to the comments section to share how much they loved her being back on our screens on a Sunday.

2 Stocks That Can Double Again in 2025
FuboTV and Groupon have almost tripled in 2025 Fubo scored a juicy settlement and a potential bigger deal with Disney to become the second largest player in live TV streaming. Groupon has returned to profitability and should get back to posting revenue growth this year. 10 stocks we like better than fuboTV › Dozens of stocks have already doubled in the first half of this year. Many of them are flukes, and some of them will probably be among the biggest laggards of the second half of 2025. As a "glass half full" investor, I want to look at a couple of the doublers that I think can double again before the year is over. FuboTV (NYSE: FUBO), and Groupon (NASDAQ: GRPN) have more than doubled -- nearly tripled, actually -- in 2025. They're in a good place to keep the upticks coming. Let's take a closer look at why Fubo and Groupon aren't likely to go from leaders to laggards in the second half of this year. Shares of FuboTV nearly quadrupled in the first four trading days of the year. It's been a market laggard ever since, but I think the provider of its namesake sports-centric live TV streaming service will come back strong in the second half. The circumstances behind the stock's skyrocketing start to 2025 are fairly well known, but that doesn't make it any less spectacular. It managed to win an injunction last year, blocking three media giants from bundling their sports programming together as Venu Sports. It also delayed the launch of the bigwig collaboration that was hoping to hit the market at $43 a month. Shortly after the start of this year, Fubo agreed to a $220 million payout from the Venu partners in exchange for dropping its lawsuit. To frame the gravity of the settlement, Fubo began the year with an enterprise value of just $475 million. It gets better. Disney (NYSE: DIS) also struck a deal to take a 70% stake in Fubo, contributing its much larger Hulu + Live TV platform in the process. Disney's live TV business brings 4.4 million subscribers to the table by the end of March, paying an average of $99.94 a month. Fubo had 1.47 million subscribers at the end of March shelling out a monthly average of $85.37 for the platform. Work the math, and Fubo contributed just 22% of the combined revenue through the first three months of this year, but it's still getting 30% of the company -- and will run the business. Disney's entire streaming operations turned profitable a year ago, but it's not clear if the same can be said for Hulu + Live TV. Fubo's operating losses are narrowing. Combining the two services in this scalable business model will only make it that much easier to get out of the red. An important caveat in calling for Fubo to double again in the second half of this year is that the Disney deal isn't expected to close until the first half of next year. The transaction can also fall apart, but even that isn't terrible for Fubo. Disney would have to pay Fubo $130 million if the corporate combination doesn't go through. It already booked the Venu settlement in the first quarter of this year. Fubo's growth has decelerated, and its guidance for the second quarter calls for its first year-over-year top-line decline. This may not seem like a favorable setup heading into these next six months, but Fubo will either walk away loaded with cash or make the most of the synergies of Disney in its cheering section by next year. It's a win-win scenario that won't pay off until 2026, but sometimes you need to be early and patient to score the biggest gains. Groupon is an unlikely name to have doubled this year, but it also has one of the clearest paths to repeating the feat before the end of the year. It's easy to discount the seemingly fading discounter. It was a dot-com darling in its early days, offering users a platform rich with deeply discounted local experiences. Revenue has now declined for eight consecutive years. But there is some merit in the retreat. Groupon has bowed out of unprofitable international markets and has backed away from offering physical goods, a low-margin side gig for an otherwise high-margin business model. It's finally starting to turn the corner. Revenue declined just 4% in 2024, its best top-line showing since 2016. Unit sales declined 11% last year, but price points were higher as gross billings declined 5%. The picture gets brighter if you back out its international softness. North American local revenue was flat for the year, but gross billings rose 8% in the fourth quarter. Its flagship local revenue remained flat in North America in the first quarter of this year, but gross billings growth accelerated to 11%. Perhaps more importantly, analysts bracing for a quarterly loss were surprised by a healthy profit. Wall Street pros now see a profitable return to marginal revenue growth in 2025. Analysts see bigger jumps on both ends of the income statement in 2026. Like Fubo, Groupon appears to be in a win-win situation. If the economy sputters, businesses will turn to Groupon to drum up leads. Consumers will also return to Groupon to get more bang for their discretionary buck. If the economy thrives, Groupon's positive momentum will continue to shine.
