Love Island star Megan Barton-Hanson has made a devastating confession that she experienced an act of rape up to six times.

The reality TV personality, who appeared on the fourth series of Love Island in 2018, went on to star in other reality TV shows, including Celebrity Ex on the Beach. The model also makes money from OnlyFans, previously revealing she makes £20,000 and £70,000 a month from the platform.

But behind the scenes, Megan has suffered trauma, after realising what she thought was normal between partners, is actually a form of sexual assault. In a new interview, she has recalled how on up to six occasions, while sleeping with a man, they have claimed the condom has split, which lead her to have an abortion.

Classified as rape, the slang term ‘stealthing’, is used to describe the non consensual removal of a condom during sex, without informing the other person. But tragically, Megan “didn’t know it was a crime” until speaking to Married At First Sight expert Paul C Brunson on the We Need to Talk podcast.

Speaking to the BBC, Megan revealed that she though it was “something between partners” that needs to be discussed with them. She told the outlet: “I’d never heard of stealthing, ever. When we started to have sex, the condom was obviously on – that was fine – and then at the end, he’d removed it intentionally but his excuse was ‘it split and it broke’. It was shocking.” Megan urged other women to report the rarely prosecuted sex crime, explaining “it’s not fair and it’s not OK.”

In an attempt to clarify the law on the issue, the Metropolitan Police are running a campaign on stealthing, describing it as a “total breach of consent” which can have “life-changing” effects on victims. The Met responded to a report of sexual assault by stealthing, which ended with one man behind bars for four years and three months.

Meanwhile, Megan has recently sparked concern among fans, after posting a photo of herself crying. The model, who has been open about her mental health struggles, recently shared an image of her in a hoody, resting her head on her forearm.

She captioned the post: “Going through it atm. Never post s**t like this but feel like it’s important if your having the worst time rn it will get better.” Underneath her photo, she put an image of a pickle, with the message: “Remind yourself everyday that you’re a sexy little pickle, with a juicy little booty and you’re gonna be just fine baby.”

On the same post, Megan shared another message, explaining why she had posted her photo, which left fans worried for her. She wrote: “My ego is going to regret this one as soon as I click post. I always used to think what sort of narcissist posts pictures of themselves crying?! I took it for myself before I even thought about posting a story… the motive was to look back in a month and see the growth happiness and fulfilment I feel from life. Ultimately you’ve only got yourself so I’m gonna try fall back love with my own company & the small wins again.”

A retired California highway patrolman has stumbled into possession of a trove of unreleased Michael Jackson songs — which the world may never have a chance to hear.

Gregg Musgrove, now a stay-at-home dad, procured the tapes after an associate purchased a storage unit in the city of Van Nuys that contained the recordings, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The unit had once belonged to music producer Bryan Loren — who also worked with artists including Whitney Houston and Sting — but whose whereabouts are currently unknown.

Inside were cassette tapes and digital-audio tapes (DAT) of 12 unreleased tracks Jackson had worked on before releasing his Grammy-nominated “Dangerous” album in 1991.

Sadly for Jackson’s many fans, an attorney hired by Musgrove to contact the Jackson estate was told that the estate owns the copyright on all of the late singer’s musical recordings and compositions, so they cannot be released publicly.

The estate later clarified for the Hollywood Reporter that it holds the master recordings of the recently unearthed songs in its vaults, and that “nothing commercial or otherwise can be done with the DAT copies.”

Some of the songs had only been rumored to exist, while others had been partially leaked, Musgrove told the Hollywood Reporter, but added “a couple aren’t even out there in the world.”

Some tapes include the voice of Jackson and apparently Loren discussing the songs and the creative process.

“To hear Michael Jackson actually talk and kind of joke back and forth, it was really, really cool,” said Musgrove.

The tracks include one titled “Don’t Believe It,” an apparent reference to rumors about Jackson concerning sexual assault against minors. On another, “Truth on Youth,” Jackson appears to engage in a rap duet with LL Cool J.

It was not clear what Musgrove might have paid his associate for the tapes, but he still stands to come out ahead.

He plans to offer the tapes to major auction houses, and buyers are expected to line up.

Sydney Sweeney has hit back at awful body shaming messages from trolls on social media.

The 27-year-old White Lotus and Euphoria actress shared some of the horrific things people had said about her after being pictured sunbathing in a purple bikini Florida last week. It comes after she previously shared that people make comments about her body as if she’s “not on a human level anymore”.

Taking to Instagram, Sydney posted a video of screenshots featuring negative comments about her. They included things like “she’s not that good looking”, “quite frumpy isn’t she” and “Looking a bit chunky… get back to the gym girl.” Though she is considered one of the most beautiful women in the world – and a rising star in the acting world – one fan pointed out: “Can’t believe we live in a world where SYDNEY SWEENEY is getting body shamed omg we’re so cooked.”

She didn’t post any caption with the video, but if her 22 million followers carried on watching, it cut to her clips of her training in the gym for her upcoming role as female professional boxing champion Christy Martin. In another post speaking about her latest movie, Sydney told fans: “Well the cat’s out of the bag thanks to some paps in bushes so here’s a little bts from my film I’m working on right now.”

Sydney continued: “Over the past few months, I’ve been immersed in training to bring to life the story of an incredible woman – a true champion who fought battles both inside and outside the ring. Her journey is a testament to resilience, strength, and hope, and I’m honored to step into her shoes to share her powerful story with you all. More to come soon.”

In the comments underneath, one follower wrote: “Hope this is finally the non-sexualized iconic role that showcases her acting talent that she’s been needing.” Another said: “Is good to see that she is getting roles that amplify her talent and range. Rather than roles where she is just a romantic interest. Excited for the movie.”

Others leapt to Sydney’s defence, hitting back at trolls who commented on her appearance. One posted: “It’s always wild to see people publicly out-themselves as pieces of s*** with comments like that. You look incredible and your dedication to your project is very inspiring.”

Another fumed: “She’s so beautiful guys, you need to get your eyes checked.” A third simply stated: “Don’t listen to em Sydney!” A fourth posted: “You’re amazing. I’m sorry you have to deal with these clowns.” While a fifth asked: “Can you please do a recap of all the good comments?”

Liam Payne’s friend Roger Nores has made the bombshell claim that the One Direction star was “happy” and “perfectly balanced” an hour before his tragic death.

The chart-topping star fell to his death at the age of 31 from a third floor balcony at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in October, and is widely reported to have been in a frenzied state. Businessman Roger, who is himself from Argentina, formed a friendship with Liam in 2020 after they met at an event hosted by Vogue in London – and he was with the star on the day he died.

It has previously been reported that Roger was with the singer soon before his fateful fall – and now Roger has claimed Liam was in “good spirits” the last time he saw him. Roger previously faced accusations of “abandonment” following Liam’s death – an accusation he has denied – and he has not been charged with abandonment.

While reports have suggested Liam was drunk and disorderly soon before he fell from his hotel balcony – and one hotel employee called emergency services before the star’s death – Roger has suggested this is an incorrect depiction of the singer. Sharing his version of events, he claims Liam was happily engaging with other hotel guests soon before his death.

In a new TMZ documentary, Roger says: “I’m a very good friend of Liam, and I was with him the day that he passed away. He was in in good spirits. He was like talking to 10 or 15 Americans that were here for a wedding. And so he was talking to them, and he was joking around.”

Revealing when he last saw the star, he claims: “I left like at 4:05, or so, and he was in good spirits. He was perfectly balanced, like talking to everybody, having fun, laughing, so nothing out of the ordinary and that’s when I said, ‘Okay, bye’.”

TMZ’s Harvey Levin then asks the businessman: “So you left him about an hour before he fell off that balcony. And you say, he seemed fine?” To which Roger states: “Yeah, well, he seemed he seemed playful and happy.”

He also claims he did not abandon his late friend, telling the documentary cameras: “I went to a hotel three times to check on him. During that morning, he seemed tipsy, but nothing out of the ordinary.” The Mirror has contacted Liam’s representative for comment. The full documentary, titled TMZ Investigates: Liam Payne: Who’s to Blame?, is due to air in the USA on Monday night at 8 PM ET on FOX.

The music world was devastated when news broke that Liam had died on 16 October. His devastated family shares a heartbreaking statement which read: “We are heartbroken. Liam will forever live in our hearts and we’ll remember him for his kind, funny and brave soul. We are supporting each other the best we can as a family and ask for privacy and space at this awful time”

As Fearne Cotton announces her shock break up with husband of 10 years Jesse Wood, the mum-of-two previously admitted her sex life had suffered.

Fearne and Jesse met in 2011 while partying in Ibiza, with the couple going on to marry in 2014, sharing two children along the way. Jesse, who also has two children Arthur, 21, and Lola, 18, from his first marriage, is dad to Fearne’s kids, Rex, 11, and eight-year-old daughter Honey.

They announced they were calling time on their relationship, with Fearne sharing a heartbreaking message on Instagram, writing: “It is with a heavy heart that I let you all know that Jesse and I are ending our marriage. Our priority has been and always will be our children. We please ask that you respect the privacy of our family at this time.”

But although the news came as a shock, Fearne has been open in the past about the reality of marriage and caring for a young family. She previously revealed the pandemic played a part in them losing touch intimately.

Speaking to Alan Carr in 2021 on his Life’s A Beach podcast, Fearned admitted: “Sexy time hasn’t happened for so long in terms of me going anywhere. I think for me and my husband, booking into the local Travelodge would make us feel sexy at the moment.”

She said explained: “We have had no time alone because of the ridiculous pandemic but before all this craziness, Paris was our go-to. Not every weekend, maybe once a year. But it felt well special because it’s so chic and beautiful. It just has an air of something gorgeous, doesn’t it? I love it there.”

Fearne’s frank admission came two years after the couple had a screaming row in a park in 2019. The lengthy spat went on for two hours, with Fearne saying she and Jesse were left wondering “where the love had gone”, confessing they were worried it may not return.

Writing in Red Magazine, she recalled: “One blustery and grey day, this culminated in a screaming match in our local park, which lasted about two hours until we both broke and cried. Luckily, my husband is the most emotionally literate person, so we can be completely vulnerable in front of one another. In the midst of this gargantuan row, I think we both wondered where the love had gone and worried that it might not come back.”

Fearne often commented on their relationship in her column, telling her fans: “Love takes hard work – and no one wants to hear that.”

She continued: “This year, Jesse and I hit a rough patch – he was away, touring relentlessly, [with his band, Reef]. I was trying to keep my own career going while looking after our kids and we were both desperately clinging on to our marriage.”

According to Debenhams, the range is designed to ‘significantly reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles’ and ‘reignite your radiance’. Customers have hailed Estée Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair serum as “a holy grail” that leaves skin feeling “silky”.

This hero hydrating serum, which contains the brand’s unique tri-peptide blend, provides up to 72-hour hydration and visibly softens, smooths and plumps the skin. It also works to restore the skin barrier and diminish multiple signs of ageing during sleep.

Facialist Donna Bartoli is a devout fan of the serum, and explained that she has been using it for three decades. She says: “This formula has just got better and better. This is definitely one of the reasons why I always wake up looking renewed and radiant,” reports the Express.

Meanwhile the Advanced Night Cleansing Gelée is touted as a balancing facial cleanser that lets consumers wipe away makeup and impurities without damaging their skin’s moisture barrier.

For those keen on skincare, Revitalizing Supreme+ Creme Moisturiser is designed to enhance firmness and elasticity, offering a more lifted appearance. A user with oily skin praised its gel-like texture, sharing: “It’s more of a gel consistency which I find is better for oily skin. It’s feels like you are giving your skin a glass of water, it’s so hydrating and great for under double wear foundation.”

Nevertheless, others were not quite convinced, finding the product “too greasy”, and another customer criticised the scent, remarking: “Not a fan of the scent, not impressed.”

Also included in the kit is Advanced Night Repair Eye Supercharged Gel-Creme, designed to smooth away fine lines, reduce wrinkles and decrease under-eye puffiness.

For those quick off the mark, there’s currently a 30% saving on this bundle, allowing shopping to snap it up for £66.50 – making the cost of each item in the set about £16.

Another brand to consider for anti-ageing is Lancôme, and shoppers can currently pick up the Lancôme Renergie Cream 50ml Gift Set for £72.80 instead of its usual £91 – but it’s worth over £137 in total.

And for an extra-special treat, the EviDens de Beaute Special Mask (£200) is perfect for those looking to brighten their complexion – its Triple Collagen and lifting and purifying agents work to revitalise dull and tired skin.
