After Megan was dumped from the island in the episode on Friday, Love Island fans instructed Conor to follow her home. Megan and Conor finally agreed to try it and concentrate on their relationship after days of arguing, but Megan was brutally kicked out of the villa.

Conor drew a few tears as he bid his final fare at Megan’s announcement and was shocked and upset. Fans have since been left perplexed by Conor’s request to wait for him while he is still staying at the villa, with many telling him to “go home” if he truly likes her.

One fan took to x, formally known as Twitter, and said: “ffs he cared that much, he didn’t go with her”, while another asked: “Why didn’t Connor leave w her then??”. A third penned: “I ain’t crying. he could have gone with her”, while a fourth added: “Don’t ask her to wait,..leave with her”.

Conor said, “I have no doubt that anyone will pass through that door thinking that Megan is going to be my girlfriend on the outside.”

Megan commented on her exit from the villa, “I’m gutted to have left because I was putting things together with Tommy and Emily.”

I would have liked to have negotiated better terms with Tommy. We were on our way, but time will tell, and I had no choice. I made some of my closest friends there and had a blast.

Jacqueline Jossa supports Dan Osborne as he launches ambitious new business

As Dan Osborne, the husband of The Only Way Is Essex, prepared to launch his new tanning salon business, EastEnders star Jacqueline Jossa showed her support for the couple.

Jacqueline Jossa has thrown her support behind her husband Dan Osborne as he launched a new business – weeks after fears their marriage was on the rocks. The former EastEnders star, 32, has been married to ex-Towie star Dan, 34, since 2017 and together they are parents to two.

It was suggested earlier this year that Jac and Dan’s union was in trouble and headed for disaster. However, there were indications that the couple was going through them in April, and a “make or break” vacation gave the impression that they were still together.

Jacqueline, the wife of soap, showed her support for the new business venture as she arrived over the weekend at the launch of her husband’s. In Benfleet, Essex, Dan opened a new tanning salon called Paradise.

Over the weekend, the couple were spotted there, with Jac sporting a t-shirt with the name of the new store on the back. Dan teased the official opening day while sharing highlights from a launch event.

Sharing photos and video footage on Instagram, he wrote: “Thank you to everyone that came down today for our opening party of @paradiseinbenfleet We will be finally opening Wednesday 2nd July been a long time coming.”

Jacqueline responded to the post by quoting “Congratulations” alongside an enthralling emoji. Dan’s post caused many other people to respond with additional congratulations messages.

Over the course of their 12-year romance, Jacqueline and Dan have weathered many storms. They first met at an awards ceremony in 2013 and soon started dating.

Ella, their daughter, was born in February 2015, and they made the announcement that they would have their first child together the following year. The pair revealed their engagement four months later, in June 2015.

Without prior authorization, content cannot be displayed.

Dan shared the news with a social media post explaining he got down on one knee during a trip to Greece. He shared at the time: “She said YES!!! I am the luckiest man in the world to be marrying the woman of my dreams.”

The couple tied the knot in June 2017 and announced that they would have a second child in January 2018. However, they had their first bump in May of that year, according to reports that claimed Jac and Jac had broken up while they were still expecting.

Second daughter Mia arrived in June 2018, and it was revealed that they had reconciled in October that year, only for Dan to face several accusations that he had been unfaithful in 2019.

The couple managed to stay close throughout their marriage despite being repeatedly accused of having problems. However, there were rumors that they had broken up and were selling their family home at the beginning of this year.

In the end, Dan and Jacqueline refuted the accusations, but rumors in March claimed Dan had left. They rekindled their romance in April when they took a “make or break” vacation to Mexico.

Dan and Jac appeared to be getting along well, according to a fellow traveler who said: “They looked like any typical couple. A few British tourists were present at the resort, but no one recognized them, leaving them to themselves for a while and pass the time.

Bolsonaro rallies supporters in Brazil amid Supreme Court coup plot trial

Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has attended a protest by his supporters, which could result in years of legal repression due to an alleged coup plot being tried by the country’s Supreme Court.

The Sao Paolo rally was attended by several thousand people on Sunday. Bolsonaro claimed that those who “accuse” him may have “trump cards up their sleeves” during the protest.

However, he said, “I have three things on my side that they don’t: God, freedom, and the support of a sizable portion of the Brazilian population.”

He continued, “I don’t need to be the president… If I’m elected honorary president of my party, we can do what you want,” adding, “I’m in love with my country. I’m not obsessed with power.”

Bolsonaro, 70, who held office from 2019 to 2022, was accused of five plots in February to overturn the 2022 election results, which the country’s current president, the left-wing Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, won. Three of Bolsonaro’s closest allies were also detained.

Bolsonaro denied any involvement in the alleged coup plot during a first testimony earlier this month before the nation’s Supreme Court.

A rioting mob known as “Bolsonaristas” raided government buildings in Brasilia on January 6, 2021 as they demanded the military remove President Lula, an insurrection attempt that evoked the support of Bolsonaro-allied United States President Donald Trump on January 6, 2021.

Police described the demonstration as an uprising and an attempt to obstruct military action and remove Lula from custody.

Bolsonaro claims that the various allegations against him are politically motivated and aim to prevent him from winning in the 2026 elections.

Bolsonaro’s political power and his baseless assertions about Brazil’s electronic voting system were all found guilty of abuse of his political power last year, according to Brazil’s Superior Electoral Court’s ruling last year. He would be prohibited from office until 2030.

Before his Supreme Federal Court trial in Brasilia, Brazil, people demonstrate their support for former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro on Paulista Avenue in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

“A abominable thing,” that is.

The former president denied that there had been a coup attempt earlier this month in Bolsonaro’s first testimony before the Supreme Court.

“No coup was ever discussed.” Bolsonaro remarked that a coup is abominable.

Brazil “couldn’t go through that experience.” And my government never had the slightest chance of a coup.

After the alleged coup planning failed, Bolsonaro was traveling in Florida, US, at the time of this last-gasp attempt to hold him in power. However, his opponents claim that he contributed to the riots.

Bolsonaro should be charged with illegal espionage while he is president, as well.

The coup plot case’s sentencing portion is anticipated to be completed in the second half of the year, according to experts in legal circles. Bolsonaro faces a maximum sentence of 12 years in prison if found guilty.

The former president has organized several protests as part of his legal battles, but both his appearances and the crowds have declined in recent months.

About 45, 000 people took part in the most recent march on Paulista Avenue in April, almost four times as many as in February, according to estimates from the University of Sao Paulo.

‘I was at Rod Stewart’s Glastonbury set and there was one special thing you didn’t see on TV’

Rod Stewart made sure to include some of his enduring musical friends at this year’s Glastonbury, which he did adamantly.

It was a family affair for Sir Rod Stewart as he returning to Glastonbury for the first time in over two decades.

Fans of all ages watched him power with their parents as the crowd poured into the 90-minute set. There was no generation among the tens of thousands who praised his performance.

The 80-year-old Maggie May rocker pulled off all the stops for the Sunday Legends Slot at the Pyramid Stage, where special guests Ronnie Wood, Lulu, and Mick Hucknull performed his classics.

Rod’s family, who mingled with fans and supported the legendary singer before his big day, was the real stars of the show, though.

Just hours before Rod took to the stage, his wife Penny Lancaster put on quite the show herself as she mingled with his fans in the VIP bar.

The Loose Women star – and Rod’s older sons, dressed in his trademark leopard print – looked every inch the proud family as they laughed and joked with people excited to see their loved one’s big moment.

Penny had a good time meeting up with her friends before watching her husband’s show, so she took selfies with hard-core fans while battling the heat.

But Penny’s work to ensure Rod’s set went smoothly started way before today. Speaking to the Mirror ahead of the show, an insider revealed how Rod went to military-like lengths to ensure all went to plan.

The star has been taking vocal rest to make sure his raspy voice is firing on all cylinders, despite being super-fit from swimming in his pool four times per week.

Rod is a chatterbox, but he knows he needs to preserve his voice, which is his biggest asset, says our mole. “It’s been quite difficult. This week, Penny and his entire band have been performing at a secret location.

It seemed Rod wanted to give back to Penny while on the Pyramid Stage as he gave a touching nod to his supportive wife. Near the start of his show, he threw in the classic First Cut Is The Deepest.

Rod first released the song Cat Stephens on tape in 1976. And he did it again, which was fantastic entertainment for the audience. However, it appeared to be him giving his wife of 18 years, Penny, a sweet nod, to eagle-eyed fans.

Rod snarled and wryly smiled as he sang the line, “I still want you by my side.”

Rod’s wife had to provide better PR, which he could not have asked for. They have a very lucky fan base if she can accurately represent how he treats his supporters.

‘Ballon d’Or’ James makes England return before Euros

  • 81 Comments

Take note, Europe: Lauren James is back.

After three months, James, 23, only needed eight minutes to make a decisive save as England defeated Jamaica 7-0.

The Chelsea attacker, who hasn’t played since April due to a hamstring injury, made her way onto the field, where everyone in the King Power Stadium erupted to cheers.

And what a better time for her return could have been. England’s opening Group D game at Euro 2025 will take place in the hands of France, but Sarina Wiegman’s “special player” is fit and ready to go.

The 23-year-old appears ready to play a crucial role in England’s quest for glory after impressing with three goals and three assists at the World Cup two years ago.

What James brings to the table is called “she’s a little magician.”

James was a difficult winger in 2021 who was waiting to be discovered, but now she is making money by comparing her to Kelly Smith, one of the greatest players in all time.

Karen Carney, a former Lioness, continued to praise James on ITV, saying, “She can do things that I haven’t seen any player since Kelly Smith.” She’s Ballon d’Or”.

Before Saturday’s game against France, James’ performance as Wiegman will be a source of great anxiety.

Ella Toone, a player for Manchester United, started the match in that role and scored two goals, but James lit up the King Power Stadium with her ability to glide past opponents with her passing and pick out passes that weren’t noticed.

It’s difficult not to get excited about James, ex-England goalkeeper Karen Bardsley said on BBC Radio 5 Live. I believe she needs to be properly managed, and it’s really exciting to give her a sneak peak at what she can offer this Lionesses attack and midfield. It is mouthwatering food.

She plays midfield like a little magician, in my opinion. Her unpredictability, shooting ability, and natural movement. In the middle of the field, she appears to be running her own business.

What kind of Euros impact might James make?

James’ return to the pitch was a huge boost for England, but is she prepared for 90 minutes against France? With only 30 minutes of playing time after three months, it’s unlikely to be the case.

Wiegman, a two-time Euros champion, knows how to be patient with James: “Once we’re building her, we’re going to. She has put in a lot of effort to get where she is right now, both at Chelsea and in our last two weeks.

She completed every training session very well. We hope to continue developing her as we move into the France game because this was the first time she could get minutes.

With only 32 of her 894 starts in this term’s three months playing, James lacks match intelligence, and on Saturday, she could play off the bench against France.

Toone, 25, has nearly 1, 000 more games this year than James, and he has always done so in England, especially at the Euros.

With the versatility of the Chelsea forward, Wiegman can use her on either wing or as a false nine, making it less straightforward than a James and Toone battle for the starting XI spot.

We also understand that midfield and up front are up against each other in a lot of competition. We’ll figure it out, Wiegman added.

What the fans said was “pure class.”

As the Lionesses prepare to depart for Switzerland, England fans expressed their joy at James’ return.

You have to pray Lauren James is fit for all the games, the best in the world, because she’s on a completely different level five minutes in and has sent in three world-class balls.

Lauren James, that’s what I call it.
