After being fired from the villa, a dumped Love Island favorite has revealed their striking ties to Liam Gallagher and his niece Anais Gallagher.

Former Love Island contestant Tommy Bradley has revealed he once carried out gardening work at the home of Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher.

Tommy, 22, was dumped from the ITV2 dating series alongside Lucy Quinn nearly three weeks ago. Speaking on GK Barry’s Saving Grace podcast, the Hertfordshire landscape gardener explained that before joining the show, his work often took him to celebrity properties.

“When I tell people I do gardening, it doesn’t sound as good,” he said. “But we’d go to footballers’ houses and celebrities.” It comes after dumped Love Island star Megan Forte Clarke took a brutal swipe at Harry and Shakira after being axed from the island for a second time.

Tommy responded, “Liam Gallagher,” when asked who the most well-known client was. I’m a huge Oasis fan, and one of the things I used to do was maintain him, such as trimming his grass, trimming his backs, and doing general maintenance.

Gallagher temporarily leaving the property, according to Tommy, who was with the company at the time. When he left for building work, I immediately joined that business. He explained that he moved to the Cotswolds while renovating his home.

He moved back in after I left, and I was only there for three months, just for the summer. I was actually devastated.

Tommy claimed to have had an indirect connection to the famous family even though he did not meet Gallagher at the time. He revealed that Anais Gallagher’s daughter, Noel Gallagher, had left a comment on one of his TikTok posts.

“I was buzzing,” he said. “I then went on Instagram and saw she follows me, so I followed her back. She sent a video of Noel and Liam on stage and I messaged her like, ‘Counting down the days.’”

Tommy claimed that the conversation ended there, but he intends to see Liam Gallagher perform later this year. He declared, “I’m going to Wembley in September.” She inquired as to what show I would be attending. She liked the message, but that’s all that has been left.

The gardener appeared on the summer 2025 series of Love Island and has became known for his romance with fellow contestant Lucy Quinn before the pair were eliminated.

He has been talking about his experiences with celebrities through his gardening work since leaving the villa about his life before reality TV.

Lucy, Tommy’s love interest, finally addressed her viral voicenote after leaving the Love Island villa.

The makeup artist, 21, faced backlash when a message she had sent to a friend before entering the ITV2 reality show as a Bombshell was leaked.

In the 37-second recording, fans heard her plan to couple up with Tommy – who at that point had just finished dating Megan Forte Clarke – as a supposedly guaranteed way to make it to the final, and was grilled by host Maya Jama on the incident during an appearance on Sunday’s Aftersun.

She continued, “So obviously, like, we probably have all done it, like, sent friends voice notes, and obviously, I really did trust that friend.

I was just saying that Tommy is a very nice boy, and that’s why I wanted to get to know him.

She continued, “Til the end,” but it wasn’t like the final, obviously, because I was intending to be with him in the future, and that she did not intend for the message to come across as a game plan to win. Someone with upstanding moral standards and similar things.

The Liverpudlian also profusely apologised to Megan, who she had described as a “f***king little slapper,” insisting she is not typically the type of person to say that, and claimed Tommy is a boy her father liked in her airtime.

She continued, “And my dad did say to me before going on the show, “He’s the kind of boy I’d like you to bring home because he’s just very respectful. I should never have made a comment on someone I’ve never met before, despite the fact that I should be talking about Meghan as well. I apologize very much for that because I’m not that kind of girl.

Lucy argued that the scandal “has been blown out of proportion” and that she didn’t anticipate hearing the voice memo in the first place.

Lucy responded, saying, “I hope you blocked her after that,” and Maya replied, “That’s undoubtedly not a good friend.”

Black Sabbath star’s ‘last laugh’ with the burial plot on his Buckinghamshire estate

Black Sabbath legend Ozzy Osbourne has proved just as batty in death as he was in life. The Prince of Darkness has created a light-hearted moment from beyond the grave because his final resting place is surrounded by bat boxes.

Heavy metal singer Ozzy caused the most controversy in his colourful career by biting off a bat’s head. On Wednesday, thousands of fans in Birmingham paid their respects to Ozzy as his cortege passed through the streets of his home city.

The next day, the 76-year-old was laid to rest beside a serene lake in a private ceremony at his Buckinghamshire country estate. Alongside the lake was a giant floral tribute saying: “Ozzy F***ing Osbourne”. It comes after wife Sharon broke down in tears at Ozzy’s funeral in heartbreaking scenes.

A family friend said the bat boxes in trees by the lake, installed a few years ago in an estate upgrade, had provided moments of humour as they grieved.

The insider said: “This was like a classic Ozzy move. The man loved humour and this sure would have tickled him pink knowing how close friends reacted to this bat situation.

“After all those decades caught up in this drama around bats and animal rights groups, here at his final resting place there are bespoke bat boxes to help encourage the animals thrive in the UK countryside. It has prompted quite a few laughs and funny ­reactions. It is just like Ozzy had the last laugh.”

Ozzy bit the bat during his Diary of a Madman tour in Des Moines’ Veterans Memorial Auditorium in January 1982 thinking it was a toy. The infamous incident outraged animal charities, but cemented his place into rock and roll history as the craziest artist of all time.

In 2010 memoir I Am Ozzy, the star insisted that the bat was already dead, but regretted his action after needing daily rabies shots for months.

Buckinghamshire has focused on improving the “conservation of bats and their habitats” and encourages many planning applicants to include bird or bat boxes in schemes. The region is home to many brown-long eared and pipistrelle bats.

Ozzy and wife Sharon, 72, spent more than £1million upgrading Welders House estate for their return to the UK in 2023, including a new wing to the mansion, a gym, recording facilities and lift giving the rocker, who had Parkinson’s disease, access to the upstairs bedroom. The lake was doubled in size with fish added.

Sharon and Ozzy’s children – Jack, 39, Kelly, 40, Aimee, 41, and Louis, 50 – were joined by music stars for Thursday’s ceremony at the250-acre estate near Gerrards Cross.

Among them were his bandmates, including Zakk Wylde, Metallica frontman James Hetfield, rock star Marilyn Manson, Sir Elton John and singer Yungblud.

Family week has not gone down well for one Love Island couple as Dejon Noel-Williams’ brother took to social media to share his negative thoughts on Meg’s sibling

As the Love Island final gets closer by the day, Dejon Noel-Williams’ brother Isiah has taken aim at his sibling’s partner Meg and her family in a TikTok video that has since been deleted.

In the clip, which recapped the recent meet the family episode, Isiah didn’t hold back, saying: “I’m watching last night’s episode and my brother has picked the wrong family. Meg’s sister reminds me of Miss Trunchbull from Matilda with the way she moves, the way she talks. It’s not it. That family, let’s be real, it’s not about that.”

He went on to praise the families of other contestants instead, adding: “But Shakira, Toni and Yas’ parents, they’re amazing. They’re sensational, what a trio. I like Cach’s family, they’re quite chill like him. You can see he’s a good role model for his little brother. I like that family.” This comes as Channel 4 breaks silence after Gogglebox couple suddenly dumped from show .

Isiah’s remarks caused a stir online, with many fans accusing him of being unnecessarily cruel. One viewer commented, “There are so many valid things he could have said, and he chose to comment on her looks,” while another questioned his support, asking, “Are you even voting for your brother at this point?”

The backlash didn’t stop there. Isiah also shared his controversial takes on some of the other contestants, stating: “Helena, she loves a young man. She needs to give it a rest, she’s a gremlin. But Harry, that man, even after all the stuff he’s done, he’s a top striker.”

Meanwhile, Dejon’s sister Gene also took to TikTok to respond to criticism following the family visit episode. Some fans suggested her on-screen chat with Dejon seemed too relaxed given some of the issues viewers have had with his behaviour at points during the series, but Gene claimed the reality was very different.

She told fans: “Believe me or don’t believe me I don’t care, I’m gonna say my piece. Me and my brother had a conversation for 30 minutes and they showed 30 seconds… I grilled him, mum grilled him… They didn’t show a single second. I just think it’s crazy what they actually choose to put in the show.”

With just a few days left to go before the Love Island final, tensions have been escalating between Dejon and Meg after he showed interest in Yasmin by picking her out as a potential partner during a challenge.

Meg was clearly hurt, and was discussing the situation with Connor when Dejon walked by, snarking: “You’re gonna stop speaking when I walk past?”

Their relationship has grown increasingly strained since returnee Blu told the boys that Meg and Helena had been labelled “mean girls” by the public. Many fans believe this has prompted a shift in Dejon’s behaviour towards the girl.

It has been two years since Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan were crowned winners of Love Island, and only a year since their surprise engagement. Fast-forward 12 months, and the couple have now tied the knot and sealed their special union with a kiss.

The pair first met at the iconic villa on the ITV2 show and made it all the way to final to scoop the £50,000 cash prize.

Sanam, 27, showed off her elegant taste as she wore a stunning off-the-shoulder wedding dress. With her hair dark hair cascading down over her shoulders, she completed her look with floor-length veil and a huge smile as she gazed lovingly at her new husband Kai.

Kai and Sanam have kept their loyal followers in the loop with the preparations of their big day. One of the latest updates was of the reality TV star’s hen party.

All her guests were drinking champagne out of custom champagne flutes while their hotel suites were decorated with the stereotypical pre-wedding decorations.It comes after reports Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are set for new ‘goldmine’ offer – but could face issue.

Wearing a fitted white dress, Sanam sported a cowboy hat and a sash that read “bride to be.” And Kai showed off his preparation as he posted a picture of himself while at the barber shop.

The TV personality made sure he was getting a fresh cut, along with a fade.

He captioned his post saying: “Trim completed. Now time to log off for a few days, enjoy life, be present and marry the love of my life.”

And it certainly did not take long before his fans rushed to the comment section of his post. One person wrote: “Wishing you both a fantastic wedding day and a wonderful married life ahead of you.”

Another fan said: “I wish you both all the best. Go on marry your girl and enjoy.”

Meanwhile a third person added: “Happy wedding day, have the best day guys.”

“Love this for you both! Enjoy! God Bless,” said a fourth.

Keen to show the world her preparation, she posted a picture of her beautifully manicured nails, which was made even more special as she added pearls and sequins.

And with just a few hours before she walked down the aisle, Sanam posted a picture of her make-up laid out. She captioned the post saying: “It’s time.”

At the time of their engagement, Kai shared the moment on social media and wrote: “Introducing the next Mrs Fagan. “Beautiful, Caring, Loving and Smart are just some of the words that describe you.”

He added: “I love loving you, I love you and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.”

On a recent episode of Frank Off the Radio, Frank was questioned about Three Lions, which is known for its “it’s coming home” chant. A fan posed a query regarding the song’s royalties after the announcement.

Has David Baddiel inquired about any recent increases in royalties since reading out the question from a listener? Frank responded to the question with a sense of the circumstances.

Frank responded, “Um… I… no… I’m not sure what’s going on with the. “. Instead of saying anything, he told Emily, “As I always say, it’s a myth that we made a lot of money out of Three Lions,” without finishing his previous comment.

You once told me how much money you made, Emily said. Although he didn’t specify when and if it was just his share, Frank continued to claim that the profits from Three Lions were estimated to be worth £38, 000 over a four-year period.

He added, “I believe it was about… It cost about 38 thousand, as I believe it to have been released. more than four years. That’s a lot of money, not to get me wrong, Frank continued: “Don’t get me wrong! However, as you know, you might be thinking that people will receive four Number Ones.

I’ll be honest, Emily said, “I thought it was about $ 4 million.” Sara then questioned, “Yeah, why isn’t it £4 million?” during the podcast discussion. Have you met my manager, Frank continued to make fun of it?

Katya Jones, a single Strictly Come Dancing star, explains her journey to finding the man she wants to be and to return to the BBC program.

When it comes to finding love, Strictly Come Dancing star Katya Jones is an eternal optimist. The Russian star still hopes to waltz off with the man of her dreams… and become a mum.

I might meet someone today, Katya, 36. You wake up without knowing who you might encounter. I must look good; I must be upbeat and ready. However, the dancer believes some men may be too apprehensive to approach her.

During her 10 years on the hit BBC show, Katya has made headlines both and off the dancefloor. It comes as former Strictly stars Helen Skelton and Gethin Jones split as he joins a notorious dating app on a lads’ holiday.

In 2017, Katya lifted the famous Glitterball trophy when she won the series with Holby City actor Joe McFadden. And three years later, she made history when she was paired with boxer Nicola Adams, becoming the first same-sex couple to ever compete in the show.

But she has had her fair share of scandal, too. Last year, a “private joke” with her opera singer partner Wynne Evans backfired. And in 2018, Katya was pictured kissing her dance partner, comedian Seann Walsh, in the street.

The clinch – which came after a boozy afternoon – ended her six-year marriage to fellow Strictly dancer Neil Jones and also wrecked Seann’s relationship with his then-girlfriend. Katya has said of the kiss: “I wasn’t thinking and it was a one-off mistake after drinks.”

The dancer has since been linked to William Abbotts, a former football player and property mogul. Before going on a date, it is said that the pair had gone on a few dates in 2023.

Now, Katya thinks that dating is too awkward for them to even start talking to her. She claims that because women have fought to be so independent and powerful and do our own thing, it might send them ambiguous messages like, “Can I approach or can I not?” I fully understand why they might be hesitant at times, but I’m always open and ready to get in touch with them.

Despite being on dating apps, including the A-list favourite Raya, Katya is yet to strike gold – but she is still hopeful her Prince Charming will sweep her off her feet. Inspired by her good friend and It Takes Two host Janette Manrara, who welcomed daughter Lyra with fellow Strictly dancer Aljaz Škorjanec in 2023, Katya says she would love to start a family one day.

I want to have children with a good-looking father, but I have nieces I can spend my time on right now, or the children of my friends, like Janette. It is really inspiring to watch her do everything and become a mother as well. It just proves that having the willpower to do it all.

For Katya, it is interesting to hear about women who have frozen their eggs so they can have children in later life. She continues, “I’ve spoken to women who have done it, which is surprisingly surprising. I still believe in meeting people naturally, though. That would be lovely.

Katya is still good friends with her ex Neil, 43, who is dad to daughter Havana with his fiancee, former Love Islander Chyna Mills. Neil and Katya often work closely together on Strictly – and even share their dogs. Katya says of the arrangement: “They had them for some time. Now it’s my turn.

“We’re absolutely still on good terms. We knew each other since we were 18 and started dancing. We lived a life together… it was me and him against the world, chasing our dreams. We were the only people there for each other so of course there is a much more profound connection there. You can’t just throw that away.”

When she was just six years old, Katya, who was born in Saint Petersburg, began dancing. Tatiana and Andrey, her parents, Tatiana and Andrey, encouraged her to make a star-studded move, and they both studied Latin and ballroom.

Katya is currently rehearsing for Strictly, and this will be her tenth season. Katya anticipates this year’s production by saying, “I’ve done it for ten years and had a lot of characters. I’d like to believe I did it well. So I’m just there to make sure everyone I meet has a great time.

Katya recently left Belgium and competed on Dancing with the Stars in the past. She claims, “I’ve worked in this [industry] for a long time as a choreographer, creative, and professional dancer. I’ve been subjected to criticism, and I feel like having been criticized before and also having had my own world championship experiences. I am aware of what they are going through.

Katya claims to be in good shape and is enjoying being in her 30s as she prepares to hit the dance floor once more. She claims that she has loved her 30 years. I’m currently the most active and healthy. In my 30s, I can only now perform the splits. Gymnastics was a struggle for me when I was younger because I was so inflexible, but now I can do it with consistency and joy.

“I’m into my padel [a racquet sport] and boxing. I love movement so I’m feeling on top of the world, to be honest.”
