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.

Pauline Ferrand-Prevot claimed the leader’s yellow jersey on the penultimate stage of the Tour de France Femmes with a stunning victory on the spectacular Col de la Madeleine.
Ferrand-Prevot, carrying French hopes of a home champion, produced a devastating performance on this year’s queen stage to replace Kim le Court at the top of the general classification standings before Sunday’s finale.
The eighth day of racing featured more than 3,500m of climbing, including the third-highest summit finish in the race’s history at 2,000m above sea level.
Olympic mountain bike champion Ferrand-Prevot was motivated to return to road racing after seven seasons away to win the yellow jersey.
That goal is now within reach after she crossed the line one minute and 45 seconds clear of Sarah Gigante, who moved up to second overall – two minutes and 37 seconds behind Ferrand-Prevot.
The general classification competition was finely poised before Saturday’s dramatic action, with the top five riders separated by just 35 seconds.
Le Court, of team AG Insurance-Soudal, held a 26-second advantage over Visma-Lease a Bike’s Ferrand-Prevot, while defending champion Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney and Vollering were both within 31 seconds of the lead.
Le Court suffered a crash on a descent and lost around one minute to the peloton earlier in the day, but managed to catch the main group with more than 45km to go.
Following that recovery, rather than riding to protect the yellow jersey she claimed in winning stage five on Wednesday, Le Court pushed the pace on the Col de la Madeleine to set up an attack by team-mate Sarah Gigante.
However, Ferrand-Prevot was able to follow Gigante and launched a counter-attack to make her way to the front of the race 7km from the summit.
Only Fisher-Black and Yara Kastelijn remained from the day’s breakaway and Ferrand-Prevot soon proved too strong as she powered clear to the finish.
On a gruelling final ascent of the hors categorie Col de la Madeleine, lasting 18.6km at an average gradient of 8.1%, the 33-year-old, who rode to victory solo at Paris-Roubaix in April, put herself in a dominant position with one day of racing left.

Three Lions co-writer Frank Skinner has spoken about the profits from the football anthem following the Lionesses’ victory in the Euro 2025 final last week. He’s dismissed the “myth” that he has made “loads of money” from the song.
Frank, 68, and David Baddiel, 61, released the song with the Lightning Seeds in 1996 in celebrate England’s participation in the UEFA European Championship that year. The two comedians, who hosted Fantasy Football League together, co-wrote the song, which has since been re-released.
Although it’s topped the Official Singles Chart in the UK four times since its first release almost 30 years ago, Frank has said it hasn’t made him as much money as some people may suspect. It comes after England’s Euro 2025 winners to lose major chunk of prize money after return home.

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.
However, his co-star Emily said she had anticipated more from the track from him. Sara Barron, a guest on the episode, made similar comments and questioned why that wasn’t the case.
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?
It isn’t the first time that Frank has spoken about the financial impact of Three Lions. Asked about it on Radio X last year, he told Chris Moyles: “Honestly, I would say I made about £50,000 out of Three Lions.” He added: “Seriously.”
At the time, Frank claimed to own a quarter of the company’s profits. He also said: “I do, yeah, I do. I still get a kick” out of it when football fans sing Three Lions.” They sing it more on the terraces than they did [though]”!

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.”
*Strictly Come Dancing will return to BBC1 in September
