Millie Court’s friends have opened up about her “worst nightmare scenario” following her second break-up from Liam Reardon. The Love Island star is reportedly panicking that her ex will appear on the next season of Love Island All Stars.

The pair met and fell in love on ITV2’s popular dating show in 2021 and were ultimately crowned the winners, despite Liam kissing Lillie Haynes in Casa Amor. Liam’s actions away from the villa were so shocking, the show altered their format to allow Lillie, a dumped Casa girl, to come back to share what happened with Millie.

However, Millie and Liam were successful in winning over the public. They remained apart until their initial split was revealed in July 2022, but they rekindled contact a year later.

However, it was reported that Millie was “gutted” after Liam reportedly called it quits on their relationship yesterday (2 September).

After the initial breakup, Liam agreed to E4’s Celebs Go Dating, and now an insider has informed The Sun that Millie worries that Liam will sign up for Love Island All Stars, which kicks off its third season in January.

Millie’s family member described it as the “worst nightmare scenario” for her and said it would be difficult for her to see her ex-boyfriend again.

They said Liam will make it very painful for her to watch Love Island All Stars in January because she has told her friends. She is persuaded to do it because she knows his employers will want him, and he signed up for Celebs Go Dating after their last disagreement in 2022.

She detested the fact that he was dating women on that, and she couldn’t handle it again. Because they met and fell in love at the villa, Love Island All Stars would be even worse for her. She would have the worst nightmare scenario.

Liam’s friend has remarked that he isn’t moving too quickly back to the villa or any reality TV.” They insisted that Liam is not even considering any other TV offers at the moment, especially dating ones.

He regrets doing Celebs Go Dating after the previous split, so he shouldn’t be too soon to return to the villa.

However, they also suggested that he might change his mind: “Despite that, it’s only four months away and a lot can happen there.”

According to sources, the couple’s friends hope Millie and Liam can rekindle their romance. They had to navigate a long-distance relationship while they were together, Millie based in Essex, and Liam based in Wales. Friends hoped this was a “blip” but ultimately found it too difficult.

Friends are hoping this might just be a blip because it’s all still very fresh, a source said. “Obviously, they’ve worked things out before. But they are currently separating. Everyone who believes in them hopes things will work out.

Millie and Liam have not publicly disclosed their split, but Millie said in a statement that she and Liam wanted to let everyone know that we have separated to prevent any speculation.

“I’ve had a difficult decision, and I’m devastated, but what’s ultimately in our best interest right now is what. Thank you to each and every one of you who has helped us grow our relationship.

Nothing can ever diminish the incredible learning we had last year and on Love Island, and I wish Liam the very best of all of his endeavors.

“I’m excited for what’s coming, and we’re both prepared for new chapters.” Love, Millie”.

Song that topped the charts in 90s now one of world’s most-streamed songs

A classic song that dominated the 1990s has now become one of the most popular songs worldwide, thanks to a Netflix special that features a One Direction member.

Unexpectedly, a 1990s chart-topping song has become one of the most popular songs on the planet. The group’s unquestionable comeback may be attributed to the song’s most recent inclusion in a Netflix production, but it represents a startling resurgence nonetheless.

Nearly three decades after its debut, the song has seen a rise in plays in recent weeks. Even the band’s lead singer is taken aback when he says it’s the “biggest our band has ever been” Although the 1998 drop was featured on Spotify’s Top 50 Global Chart for a while, it’s only now that people are clocked up this dramatic rise.

Iris, the Goo Goo Dolls’ anthem, is currently in the Top 50, making it one of Spotify’s most played tracks this summer.

Its chart-topping popularity has caught both the musicians and its fans off guard. Although the piece’s triumph is undoubtedly a plus, frontman John Rzeznik harbors conflicted emotions.

He claimed, “This is the biggest our band has ever been.” But there are times when I feel like I’ve written a song.

While the song’s inclusion in the Marvel blockbuster Deadpool and Wolverine undoubtedly helped it reach the top 50 on Spotify, its continued popularity might be a result of a recent Netflix program.

The track has been featured in a number of episodes of Netflix’s reality TV show Building the Band. Six groups made up of 50 performers make up the panel for the series.

The judging lineup for the show featured Nicole Scherzinger, Kelly Rowland, and the late One Direction star, Liam Payne.

Payne’s final public appearance was the Netflix original, and the show’s final performances were shot in Manchester in the summer of 2024.

Although the group was at risk of being sent home, a rendition of Midnight ‘Til Morning’s Iris was performed on the program.

They were saved by the judging panel, and they made it through the final two rounds before being awarded the boot.

Iris has appeared in films and telly programmes regularly over recent decades. Most famously, it was included on the soundtrack to the Meg Ryan and Nicolas Cage film City of Angels.

Frontman Rzeznik explained that the song was being written in a hotel in Los Angeles while he was going through a divorce at the time. Simply put, it was very emotionally charged.

If I had been this guy, I would have thought about what I would have said to this girl.

Donald Trump health riddle in full from mystery lump to bruises and ‘death’

As yet more rumours swirl concerning the health of President Donald Trump, the Mirror takes a look at some of the health riddles that have kept social media users guessing, even after POTUS dismissed the false reports of his death

A mysterious ‘lump’ has sparked fresh concerns for President Donald Trump’s welfare(Image: AP)

The rumour mill went into overdrive over the weekend, with many political watchers left convinced that President Donald Trump had died.

The phrase “Trump is dead” went viral from Friday onwards, with many left baffled that the US President hadn’t been seen publicly for a few days, and appeared to have a clear diary for the Labour Day Weekend.

This follows a wave of speculation over the septuagenarian politician’s health, despite his doctor Sean Barbabella having declared back in April that “President Trump remains in excellent health, exhibiting robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and general physical function”.

Addressing the media yesterday (Tuesday, September 2) Trump ridiculed rumours that he was no longer living, scoffing: “I have heard it’s sort of crazy, but last week I did numerous news conferences, all successful. They went very well, like this is going very well, and then I didn’t do any for two days, and they said there must be something wrong with him.”

Taking the opportunity to have a dig at his old presidential rival, Joe Biden, Trump insisted: “Biden wouldn’t do them for months. You wouldn’t see him, and nobody said anything.”

However, those watching on couldn’t help but be distracted by another apparent ‘clue’ as to the president’s wellbeing.

An unusual crease in Trump’s suit sleeve, caught the attention of many reports the Mirror US, giving the appearance of some sort of bulge. One individual on X posted, “Strange. Fabric doesn’t normally fall like that across an arm.”

This message was accompanied by a photograph of Trump from his recent White House meeting, with the suspicious user highlighting what appeared to be a mysterious protrusion beneath POTUS’s suit jacket. Other X users reasoned that the bulge resulted from a padded suit, however the original poster disputed this, going as far as to provide examples of other padded suits to demonstrate the difference.

They continued: “People are suggesting this is a result of padded or extended shoulders. Neither of these things have to do with how a sleeve falls.” Another person queried: “Why does such a wealthy man not have well-tailored suits?” A third individual also made the suggestion that the bulge resulted from someone supporting the president to keep him steady, mere moments before the photograph was taken.

Skin discolouration

Yesterday evening (September 2), Trump addressed members of the American public in a major announcement regarding Space Command HQ, but many were instead left discussing what appearaed to be discolouration on his hands. Sharing a screengrab from the annoucement, one sharp-eyed X user wrote: “Trump’s hands are visibly 2 different colors today.” Others were quick to comment on Turmp’s voice sounding “weak”, while one social media critic remarked that the Oval Office podium was “acting as a walker to help him stand up”.

In a statement, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt declared that the President is “perfectly fine and has a tremendous amount of energy”. She told CNN: “The made-up speculation online is crazy and baseless, and it’s clearly being pushed by Democrat activists and left-wing lunatics.”

Bruised hands

On Monday, August 25, a dark bruise was spotted on Trump’s hand as he signed an executive order in the Oval Office, mere days after golf video showed him to have a bruised hand. Another image at a seperate event appeared to show that POTUS had applied make up to the back of his hand.

Speaking to Reach PLC, Medical Director of Manual Dr Jeff Foster expressed concern over the recurrence of the bruises over such a lengthy period of time. According to Dr Jeff: “It appears this bruise in question is recurring, having seen a similar bruise in August and November of last year.

“The most likely explanation is that this could well be bruising from a recent cannula from the way it appears, and of course, as Donald Trump is nearly 80 years old, his skin is naturally thinner and weaker, which happens as we age, and therefore we bruise much more easily.

“The White House representatives have suggested Donald’s bruise is from constantly shaking hands with people; however, I would be concerned if this was indeed the case, as it could indicate the use of blood-thinning drugs or skin fragility.”

Back in April, when the bruises first came to attention the University of Salford’s Dr Gareth Nye suggested that President Trump could be undergoing IV therapy.

Dr Nye advised the Daily Star: “Bruising is much more common as you age due to the thinning of skin and weakening of blood vessels. As we age, even minor bumps can result in bruising, and there’s often very little underlying to suggest a health concern.

“This is more likely if a person is on blood-thinning medication or has been exposed to excessive sunlight. It could also be a completely benign condition called actinic purpura, which is also caused by excessive sun exposure. It does resemble the type of bruising left by IV drip insertion, although there’s no evidence of IV usage or need.”

Back in July, the White House confirmed President Trump was suffering from a chronic venous insufficiency, with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt revealing that the 79-year-old had undergone a “comprehensive exam” including vascular testing after suffering swelling in his legs.

Leavitt went on to add that Trump’s bruised hand was in fact consistent with “tissue damage from frequent handshaking” while taking aspirin, which she asserted is “part of a standard cardiovascular prevention regimen”.

Travis Kelce cancelled first proposal to Taylor Swift after stern ‘warning’

NFL player Travis Kelce got down on one knee and popped the question to girlfriend of two-years Taylor Swift last month – but the sports star cancelled his initial plans

Travis Kelce cancelled first proposal to Taylor Swift after stern ‘warning’

Taylor Swift’s future husband Travis Kelce called off his proposal to the pop singer before eventually popping the all-important question last month.

In August, the smitten couple, both 35, announced that they had secretly become engaged, two weeks prior to sharing the news with fans in a huge social media post.

Shortly after they recorded their joint appearance on the New Heights podcast, Travis is said to have taken Taylor out for dinner, before getting down on one knee in the back garden of his home in Lee Summit, Missouri, where he created a stunning floral garden around a gazebo for the happy occasion.

However, Travis has since revealed that he originally planned to propose to Taylor on the water but someone close to him “warned” him against the idea. The NFL star opened up about his engagement for the first time on Wednesday’s episode of his New Heights podcast just over a week after the couple announced their happy news.

His admission came after one of Travis’ producers revealed that the sports star had recently proposed in the ocean, however it didn’t go according to plan, leaving Travis questioning his decision.

Detailing the awkward situation, the producer explained: “My head was bobbing up in the water, holding the ring while kicking your little feet to fight the current. Don’t recommend it. Travis did it on land. Much safer.” To which Travis replied: “I got warned, I got warned. I once thought I would do it on water but you did it. You showed heart.”

Travis’ brother Jason then make a dig at the newly-engaged star as he chimed in: “You thought you would do it on water. He did it in water.”

The sports star went on to gush that whenever he calls Taylor his future wife it makes him feel “giddy”.

Travis gushed: “Thank you guys for the congratulations. I appreciate everybody that has reached out and sent something, all the posts and excitement and it has been really fun telling everybody who I’m going to be spending the rest of my life with. It has been really fun. It has been awesome.”

Meanwhile Travis’ dad, Ed, has been very vocal about the engagement. During an interview on the Jimmy & Nath Show with Emma, he revealed that Travis hired a huge team to help the engagement run smoothly, with some even hiding in the bushes during the romantic moment.

Ed explained on the show that Travis had encouraged Taylor to go into the garden with him for a glass of wine before leaving the property for a meal out. He said that she may have realised it was a proposal once she was outside.

He said: “I think she knew something was up because as they approached, as they walked out there, she could see suddenly there’s a lot more flowers out there.”

During the interview, Ed said his son’s garden had been decorated by people that “help Travis out with a lot of things”. He added: “They got it all ready. They actually saw them coming and hid in the bushes so they weren’t part of it.”

Asked how long his son had the ring before popping the question, Ed said: “Oh, I don’t know. I think I saw it earlier in the summer, like maybe July.” He said that Travis had been “ready” but “had a lot going on” over the last few months.

Ed said in the interview that Travis and Taylor kept the news of the engagement “quiet for a while”. He suggested that the decision was to distance it from her announcing her new album, the Life of a Showgirl, earlier this month. He said: “You don’t want to take away the energy from that.”
