Former Love Island star Frankie Davey, who appeared in Casa Amor two years ago, divided opinion after sharing some controversial advice with fans on TikTok recently

Former Love Island star Frankie Davey has divided opinion after sharing controversial advice that has been branded “dangerous” by some amid a holiday abroad. He shared his recommendations for how to avoid getting burnt whilst out in the sun.

Frankie, 24, who appeared in Casa Amor on the ITV2 show back in 2023, has been posting updates on TikTok from a trip to Rhodes recently. It included him sharing his thoughts on suncream, which he said he hasn’t used in years. The professional boxer spoke about tanning in a video uploaded to the platform just days ago, with the post captioned: “The sun is the key to life, don’t be afraid of it.” Over the video itself, Frankie wrote: “How to Tan & NOT Burn.”

He said in the video: “So I’m in 40 degree heat and I don’t wear suncream – how don’t I burn? Firstly, I haven’t worn suncream now for a good three or four years. I’m quite against it. I think it’s full of chemicals and toxins that your body…well, isn’t good for your body, basically.”

Frankie added: “But how don’t I burn? Firstly, I do wear a natural SPF and that’s coconut oil. Yesterday, I was in the sun for five, six hours, peak sun. UV 11. I still didn’t burn.”

He continued by saying that he went out to Greece with a “base layer of tan” from the UK before claiming that wearing sunglasses outside means that your body won’t “produce a chemical to protect your skin”. He also urged viewers to listen to their bodies and seek shade or cover up when their skin feels hot.

Frankie said: “Another thing is if you’re eating a lot of inflammatory foods that inflames your body and then when the sun beaming on your skin also cause you to burn.” He then concluded by summarising his advice.

He said: “That’s pretty much it. Build it up. Slow and steady exposure. Morning and night. Then you can start building it up to peak sun times. Use a natural SPF. Get some shade when you feel like you’re burning. Eat fairly clean, when you can. Don’t wear the sunglasses when you’re trying to tan.”

The post has amassed more than 16,000 likes but divided opinion in the comments section. Some people questioned his advice, with one person reacting: “This is dangerous information.” Another said: “Please update me in 20-30 years.”

A third viewer responded: “Social media boxer vs medical professionals – I think I know whose advice I’ll follow.” Another wrote: “Well… that’s enough tik tok for one day.” One person said: “Coconut oil will help you tan and burn.”

Others expressed concern over the prospect of developing skin cancer. One person wrote in the comments section of the post: “You don’t have to burn to get skin cancer. Any tanning is skin damage that can cause cell changes.”

“Didn’t wear sunscreen either, now battling skin cancer… melanoma to be precise worrying if I’m still going to be here for my daughters…. Don’t be ignorant, life has a funny way of teaching you lessons from old mistakes,” someone said.

Although Frankie’s opinion proved controversial to some, not everyone felt the same. Agreeing with him, one person said: “I am the same. I stopped wearing sun protection couple of years ago. I don’t burn and get a beautiful tan.”

Someone said: “Havent worn sunscreen for decades.In my 40s now with better skin than most 30 year olds.” Another viewer commented: “I’ve never used it.” One person reacted: “Finally someone with some sense about sun cream.”

The NHS states that sunburn increases your risk of skin cancer. It recommends using sunscreen that has an SPF of at least 30 to protect against UVB and at least 4-star UVA protection as part of its sun safety advice. It adds: “Do not rely on sunscreen alone to protect yourself from the sun. Wear suitable clothing and spend time in the shade when the sun’s at its hottest.”

Black Sabbath star played his final gig at special Birmingham show at the weekend – but we can reveal exciting move which could see him perform again

Ozzy Osbourne may have bowed out at his farewell show but it might not be the last time you see the Black Sabbath star perform. The band have trademarked their name in virtual reality, which means they could return on stage as holograms.

ABBA have already used avatars for their London show, Voyage, which has been running since 2022 and features younger versions of themselves. Black Sabbath filed documents 20 years ago and could do the same. These papers trademark use of “production and presentation of animation and other special effects”. A number of other artists have taken similar action.

Ozzy, 76, who has Parkinson’s, performed his final gig with Black Sabbath in Birmingham on Saturday. The singer had to sit on the stage at Villa Park, a stone’s throw from his terraced childhood home, as he ran through five solo hits including Mr Crowley and Crazy Train.

Then he was joined by the original Sabbath line-up of guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward. The group – credited with inventing heavy metal after forming in 1968 – played together for the first time in 20 years for the Back To The Beginning concert. They finished with War Pigs, N.I.B, Iron Man and Paranoid. An emotional Ozzy said: “You have no idea how I feel. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

This week, one of his pals said Ozzy was plotting a new album and in April wife Sharon, 72, when asked if she would consider an ABBA-style return for him, said: “Sure I would, yeah. “Technology keeps moving on and on. You can do incredible things now, so what you could do in five years will be even better. You never know what the opportunities are.”

The show features avatars of a young Bjorn Ulvaeus, Agnetha Falt- skog, Anni-Frid Lyngstad and Benny Andersson performing hits like Dancing Queen and Waterloo. It launched in 2022, but is still one of the capital’s top attractions.

KISS have unveiled digital versions to replace them when they stop touring. The estates of late stars George Michael, Freddie Mercury and Tina Turner have also filed papers with digital plans.

Queen guitarist Brian May said his band has talked “very seriously” about holograms of Freddie – but he won’t be an avatar while the rest of the group is having the days of their lives. He said: “While we’re here I want to play live. I don’t want to be a hologram. I want to be me.”

Last year Oasis filed paperwork to secure trademarks that would cover “virtual music group” and “avatars”. Noel Gallagher previously said he’d up for the band returning as holograms after being amazed by ABBA’s avatars. He said: “It was great – an hour-and-a-half gig. The holograms looked that real I thought they were actors. The way they walk to the stage is so realistic.” He told pal Matt Morgan’s podcast: “If anybody wants to do an Oasis one, give us a shout. I would be bang up for it. Come up with a figure and I’ll say yes or no.”

Pop star Katy Perry baffled fans when she was spotted onboard a yacht with her ex Orlando Bloom just days after they had announced their split after nine years together

Katy Perry surprised fans when she was spotted back with Orlando Bloom on a lavish holiday despite their recent split. The pop star, 40, announced her split from the actor, 48, last week but their latest public appearance left heads scratching.

They were spotted with newlyweds Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez on what appeared to be part of the couple’s honeymoon. Katy and Orlando, who said they are now focusing on co-parenting their daughter Daisy Dove, hopped on board Bezos’ superyacht in the Mediterranean with their little girl. It came just days after the former couple revealed they had decided to “shift” their relationship to focus on just parenting. Many expected they would want to be apart from each other as they navigate the new chapter.

Instead, Katy and Orlando appeared relaxed and happy as they spent time with the newlyweds in their Honeymoon bliss. Reports have claimed the pair split in early June but still decided to go-ahead with their summer holiday plans in Italy.

Lauren and Jeff joined in the trip as they had lunch together on a yacht off the Amalfi Coast. The recent bride is thought to have flew in for the lunch date from their mega-yacht, which is currently in Croatia.

Katy and Orlando have surrounded themselves with their nearest and dearest as they are thought to also be with the Pirates of the Caribbean star’s son Flynn, 14, and his sister Samantha. Orlando’s manager is also thought to be on the trip.

The former pair are believed to have already split by the time Orlando headed Down Under to visit Katy with their daughter while she performed on tour. Katy is said to have felt “raw” and was tearful at the time, according to Daily Mail.

However, the pair have been trying their best to get through the split as best as possible. It has been claimed back in May, when the holiday was planned, it was clear things were turning sour.

The Italian trip was considered to be a break-up holiday, according to the publication. Katy, who missed Bezos and Sanchez’s extravagant £48 million wedding in Venice while touring in Australia, may have been making up for lost time when she spent time with the couple.

In photos from the lunch date, the Dark Horse singer looked at ease as she enjoyed the Italian coast and watched Orlando play affectionately with their daughter. Orlando, for his part, seemed equally content as he was seen throwing Daisy into the air before catching her and kissing her on the cheek.

Last week, the pair officially called it quits on their nine-year romance – six years after the Pirates of The Caribbean actor popped the question.

In a statement, their respective representatives declared: “Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on coparenting. They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is – and always will be – raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect.”

The Mirror has contacted Katy and Orlando’s representatives for comment.

The Princess of Wales dazzled in a glittering tiara tonight as she attended her first state banquet in almost two years with a whole host of famous faces. Kate wore the Lover’s Knot tiara and red gown with caped back detailing by Sarah Burton for Givenchy as she joined the King, Queen, her husband Prince William and some 160 guests at Windsor Castle for the white tie dinner, which is the glitzy highlight of the French state visit.

French president Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte are being honoured with the opulent display of royal hospitality in the historic St George’s Hall. Kate, who was diagnoised with cancer in early 2024 and revealed earlier this year she is now in remission, last attended a state banquet in November 2023, when the Royal Family honoured the South Korean president at Buckingham Palace.

Just last week, she talked about her ‘rollercoaster’ cancer recovery, its life-changing impact, and putting on a “brave face” during a visit to Colchester Hospital. Kensington Palace only confirmed she would be attending tonight’s glamorous dinner after she carried out royal duties to mark the start of the state visit earlier in the day.

Before the event, William and Kate gave a sneak peek of their outfits by posting a photo of themselves on social media with the caption: “Ready for what promises to be a wonderful State Banquet this evening in Windsor.” Kate also wore her Royal Family order from King Charles for the first time and brought a lily of the valley embroided evening clutch.

She was seated next to President Macron and the pair chatted ahead of the start of the King’s toast, while on her other side was art historian Christophe Leribault, chairman of the Musee D’Orsay. Kate studied history of art at university.

Other royals joining the dinner tonight were the Edward and Sophie, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh as well as Princess Anne and her husband Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence. Queen Camilla wore an ivory silk and crepe evening gown by Fiona Clare and a diamond and sapphire tiara that belonged to the late Queen. She also wore the Legion d’Honeur French sash, Garter Star and the King’s family order.

The star-studded dinner not only saw royals invited and famous faces from the celebrity world were also there, including Sir Mick Jagger, who owns a chataeu in France. Other attendees included actress Kirsten Scott Thomas who lives in France, First Dates star Fred Siriex, who is French, and former Lioness goalkeeper Mary Earps, who recently played for Paris St Germain. She was seen shaking hands and laughing with Prime Minister Keir Starmer before the start of the dinner as they stood and chatted.

Meanwhile, the King turned to his friend and King’s Foundation ambassador, French chef Raymond Blanc, to put together the menu in culinary collaboration with the Royal Household, designing the first course and the dessert. Blanc was in the kitchens at Windsor on Tuesday evening making sure the dishes were served to perfection

The menu, which was written in French as is the custom for state banquets, began with a selection of tender summer vegetables from the Gardens of Le Manoir with Sage, Raw Tomato and Extra Virgin Olive Oil Dressing.

The next course was Supreme of Rhug Estate Chicken with Norfolk Asparagus and Tarragon Cream, followed by Iced Blackcurrant Parfait on a Blackcurrant-soaked Sponge with Elderflower Jelly for dessert. Buckingham Palace described the collaboration as being “in the spirit of the Entente Cordial”.

In a tradition started by the King, a cocktail was also created specially for the occasion, this time called L’entente. It combines British gin with lemon curd and French pastis, garnished with dried French cornflowers and English roses.

There was a selection of French wines as well as Taylor’s 1977 Vintage Port at a 1948 Grand Champagne Cognac, chosen to reflect the years both Mr Macron and the King were born.

Flowers adorning the tables were picked from the gardens of Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and Windsor Great Park. After the banquet they will be delivered to hospices and care homes for the elderly. Meanwhile following the banquet, guests will move to the Windsor Castle Music Room for a special performance by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales.

The dinner marks the end of a busy day for the Prince and Princess of Wales who were on hand to greet Mr and Mrs Macron at RAF Northolt this morning as they touched down in the UK.

The princess has already channelled diplomatic royal dressing in honour of the King’s guests, choosing to wear French fashion house Christian Dior for her daytime engagements. Her earrings belonged to Diana, Princess of Wales and the pearl necklace was from the late Queen’s collection.

The blush pink Christian Dior jacket is the 30 Montaigne Rose Des Vents Bar Jacket and a piece from the 2024 collection, and was paired with a tulle skirt. It was reimagined by Maria Grazia Chiuri, who was inspired by the original first created in 1947 by Dior himself. Kate’s sleek hat was by Jess Collett.

The princess was charmed with a kiss to the hand by Mr Macron as she and William met the French leader as he disembarked from his plane at RAF Northolt. Mr Macron took the princess’s hand and leaned forward to deliver an air kiss towards it. Meanwhile, the President warmly shook the prince’s hand and held onto his arm as they chatted.

State banquets have moved from the Buckingham Palace ballroom to Windsor for the next few years while reservicing work at the London royal residence continues and starts to affect the state rooms.

Kate has attended a handful of engagements in recent months including Trooping the Colour, the annual Order of the Garter service and a visit to a V&A storage facility in London. But she missed Royal Ascot in June after seeking to find the right balance to public appearances following her cancer treatment.
