A popular Love Island couple are reported to have split months after leaving the ITV2 dating show together after going their separate ways at the National Television Awards

Love Island finalists Yasmin Pettet and Jamie Rhodes have reportedly confirmed their relationship is over just weeks after leaving the villa together. The duo had been attending this year’s National Television Awards, but are said to have gone their separate ways after the glitzy bash.

Prior to the event getting underway at the O2 Arena in London, the couple posed for pictures on the red carpet. They were seen with their arms wrapped around each other with smiles on their faces, but it seems all did not end well.

Instead, it’s claimed Jamie told friends Yasmin had “f***ed off” near the end of the night. And sources claim she had also been seen holding hands with The Traitors star Freddie Fraser before seemingly giving her man the slip.

According to The Sun the couple have confirmed their split. It comes after they had won the hearts of the public with what appeared to be an authentic connection.

A source told the publication that Yasmin told Freddie the pair needed to “go somewhere private, no one can see”. And it’s said Jamie had lamented Yasmin’s disappearing act.

Another partygoer at the event told the outlet: ““Yasmin and Jamie weren’t together at the party a lot at all, compared to Harry and Shakira and Cach and Toni, who were glued to each other’s sides.

“Then I saw her holding hands with Freddie and pulling him away. She said, ‘We need to go somewhere private, no one can see.’”

“I was totally shocked because I loved them on the show and they seemed like the best connection.”

The comments were a far cry from their interaction earlier in the night. Before the awards ceremony began, Yasmin told reporters the pair were “really good”.

“I mean, we get to come here, to something like this, together tonight, which is incredible,” she said. “The whole band is going to be here as well. I think we’re going to have a great time.”

Just weeks ago, Yasmin had revealed she and Jamie had not yet been intimate following their time in the Spanish villa. The ITV2 icon was heartbroken after leaving the show as her beloved cat Miaow Miaow passed away while she was filming.

And earlier last month, Yasmin said: “As I’ve spoken about her on the show, I’m sure a lot of you will know I have a cat called miaow miaow who’s been by my side for 11 years now.

“When I was filming Love Island I had a bad gut feeling something was off and when my mum and sister came into the villa I asked them and still felt like something was off.”

The star admitted she had been grieving the loss and praised Jamie for providing her with emotional support. She also revealed the pair believed there was ‘no rush’ in their romance.

“I’ve been going through grief and Jamie will just sit there when I cry on him,” Yas said to The Sun. “I’ve taken a lot of time to process my emotions, so Jamie and I haven’t been intimate yet.”

“He’s so patient. He’s never rushed that, because he knows it will happen at the right time.”

Former Love Island contestant Andrew Le Page has hinted that he has found new love with a real estate agent in the Middle East following his split from Tasha Ghouri

Love Island star Andrew Le Page has hinted he has found new love – eight months after he split from reality star girlfriend Tasha Ghouri. He has teased a new romance with a real estate agent who lives in the United Arab Emirates.

The 30-year-old TV hunk – who found fame on the ITV reality show in 2022 during the eight season of the show – shared a flirty clip of himself with a woman named Millie Cleland on social media. The stunning brunette works for the White & Co Real Estate firm in Dubai.

Over the weekend, Andrew and Millie enjoyed a romantic meal out together where they sipped wine. In a very brief clip shared on Instagram Stories, the pair clinked glasses at the Eva Beach Restaurant and Beach Club in Dubai’s Palm Islands.

Andrew flashed a winning smile while sat opposite Millie wearing a simple white vest. And the pair appeared to party into the night as they shared video clips of people dancing and singing together at the luxury venue.

The upbeat scenes come after Andrew and Love Island co-star Tasha, 27, split at the beginning of the year. He had cheered her on last autumn and winter when she took part in the 2024 season of Strictly Come Dancing.

But the romance collapsed soon after the 2024 season ended and while Tasha was on the road as part of the Strictly Live tour.

The Sun previously reported that busy schedules tore the romance apart after almost three years. A source claimed: “Tasha was madly in love with Andrew but the cracks started to show when she appeared on Strictly.

“She gave her all in that competition. Her focus was purely on her dances with Aljaz and that drove a wedge between them as time went by. They talked about ending their relationship at the start of January and she’s pretty much heading out on the Strictly tour as a single woman.”

The following month, the couple confirmed the relationship was over – with Andrew taking to Instagram Stories to address rumours they had split.

He wrote, alongside a selfie: “End of an era. So guys it’s been a pretty start to the year and one I didn’t expect. However life goes on and I’m doing everything in my power to say positive

“All the support has meant the world. I’ve cried more this year than I have my whole life.” He added: “Back to Guernsey now… I’ll be back.”

While Tasha wrote on Snapchat: “Hi everyone. Just on a walk. I know a lot of you are asking me a lot of questions and want to know what has been going on. I won’t be speaking on the situation – it’s a private side of my life which I’m still dealing with internally and mentally.

“It’s private for me and as much as I do want to share it with you all, one day I will, but I’m still processing everything that has happened and going on. I hope you can all understand on why I’ve not spoken out on the situation.”

Kylie Jenner showed the extent her sister Khloe Kardashian and her kids went through as she revealed ‘prank wars have started’ after a sleepover at mum Kris Jenner’s house

Kylie Jenner was left stunned after a night at her mum’s house led to prank wars. And she was so shocked that she chased her sister, labelling her a “little b***h” after spotting her car’s makeover.

Kylie, 28, took to social media to show the aftermath of the “attack”. She insisted “prank wars have started” as the incensed star tagged her sister Khloe Kardashian and her mum, Kris Jenner.

At the start of the clip Kylie shared on Instagram, her vehicle was seen covered in silly string and toilet paper. Giggling, Kylie says while recording the mess: “I, um, slept over at my mom’s house…”

She’s then heard yelling “you b***h” after sister Khloe appears in the doorway of the lavish property. As Khloe hides and runs away, Kylie repeats herself, fuming: “You little b***h.”

She then runs after her older half-sister while still recording. “Was this you?,” Kylie shouts while entering the property.

Khloe then screams as she tries to run away from the Tequila brand creator. “Say something,” rages Kylie trying desperately to follow.

As Khloe continues to run, Kylie can clearly see the funny side of what’s happened as she chuckles while taping her sister’s scared reaction.

“Who did this to my car?” Kylie asked again before Khloe’s kids are seen running away laughing. Kylie then gave her followers a closer look at the chaos caused, with her Mercedes badge also covered.

Mum Kris then appears and is shocked by what she is seeing as she gasps: “What is happening? It’s so colourful.”

Khloe and her kids then pop out to scare the momager and spray the pink and red string all over her. Kris screams but quickly turns back on the youngsters to chase them.

The prank was also shared on Khloe’s Instagram Stories. She captioned the reshare: “I am the prank master!!!! I will not loose [sic]. I am training them young to be prank geniuses.”

And she also shared a snap of the kids standing behind the messed up car before uploaded a video of them in action covering it.

Kylie recently paid tribute to her pal and hairstylist, Jesus Guerrero, six months after he ‘suddenly and unexpectedly’ died. The celebrity hairstylist had flown out to Paris as part of Kylie’s glam team in January for Fashion Week, but sadly died just a few weeks later.

After sharing a touching tribute shortly after his death, Kylie took time again to remember her friend. She explained how the ‘ache of missing’ her late hair stylist ‘hit all over again’ as she continued to come to terms with his death months on.

And last month she took to her Instagram Stories to re-post polaroid pictures of her and Jesus together. “We miss you sm Jesus…” she wrote while also posting emojis of a white heart and an angel.

Television and radio host Vernon Kay has cast his mind back to his first date with Strictly Come Dancing star wife Tess Daly – and things did not go well

Vernon Kay has confessed he was left in an awkward position at the end of his first date with wife Tess Daly. The 51-year-old model and presenter has been married to the 56-year-old BBC star since 2003 and they have two children together.

However, the love story had something of an awkward beginning when Vernon was left red-faced by a financial hiccup during their first date. The former T4 presenter first met Strictly Come Dancing host Tess in 2001.

And their first date was a romantic meal at Zilli Fish restaurant in London. While Vernon wanted to treat his date to a romantic meal, his bank card was declined.

Vernon recounted: “Tess and I went to Zilli Fish for our first date.” Recalling an awkward first mistake, he recalled: “I think we ordered a bottle of pinot grigio, but Tess doesn’t like pinot grigio.”

And he added: “All I remember from that date is that my cash card was rejected, so Tess had to pay.” During his chat with the outlet, Vernon went on to declare that he would consider biblical figure Jesus Christ as the ultimate dinner party guest.

He explained: “Surely Jesus is the ultimate party guest. Would it not be amazing to go out with a fella who can turn water into bottles of wine, and five loaves of bread and two fish into enough food to feed an entire party?”

Last year, Vernon opened up on the success of his marriage as he marked 21 years of being hitched to Tess. He is quoted by Birmingham Live as saying: “I think marriage is a roller coaster, you know, you have peaks and troughs.

“And what I’ve learned from the whole of that is it’s really difficult to talk, but it’s really easy to talk. You’ve got to bite your lip and just go, I’m gonna say this.”

Explaining how compromise is a key to success, he suggested: “Put the kettle on, say it. ‘I don’t think we should be doing this. Maybe what if we do that? I’m feeling this, dah dah dah, dah’. You know what I mean? Like communication is the most important thing, in anything and in particular in a relationship.”

And offering further advice, he said: “You might not be necessarily be the person that the other person married, you’re changing.

“So it’s that evolution that you need to coincide with your partner and that can only be done through communication.”

Former The Apprentice candidate Thomas Skinner has revealed he cheated on his wife. The TV star said he had a “two-week fling” with a beauty clinic boss, just two weeks after they had married – and later apologised to his wife.

Now, the star, 34, has candidly admitted that it was the “biggest mistake” of his life. Thomas met the woman while at the pub and claims that she offered him “cosmetic slimming treatments.” The fling took place just weeks after he and his wife Sinead tied the knot in May 2022.

But while he admits his wife and the mother of his children is the best thing to have happened to him, guilt instantly kicked in as he and the beauty clinic boss had slept together. He says he woke up and instantly regretted his cheating.

“I’m so lucky she forgave me,” he said of his wife. Thomas went on to add: “It was the worst thing I’ve ever had to do. It was terrible, I’m a very, very open book, and I don’t hide anything from my wife. She was obviously distraught, upset.”

He added that he understood if Sinead had never wanted to speak to him again after his admission. Speaking to The Sun on Sunday, Thomas continued: “No one else made me do what I’ve done. But it just shows how something so brief could ruin your life.” Now, though, Sinead is his rock, whom he says has made him the person he is today.

“My wife is my rock,” he said, adding: “She’s the person I adore more than anything in the world. And I let her down, I’m ashamed, I’m so fortunate my wife’s forgiven me, she didn’t deserve it. I was a selfish person.” Today, the couple are the happiest they’ve been, with Sinead supporting him throughout his Strictly experience.

But Thomas says grief played a part in his decision, with the fling coming just one day after a close friend, named Big Mark, had sadly died. Mark had taken Thomas in when he was homeless and acted like a father figure to him. However, the woman Thomas cheated with claims that it was more than a fling and claims she was in a relationship with Thomas.

A spokesperson for the woman said: “This has been an incredibly stressful chapter in her life. She did not have a fling with Mr Skinner, she had a relationship with him.”

Thomas has made headlines in recent weeks after being unveiled as part of the line-up for the new series of Strictly Come Dancing. Earlier this month, he “stormed out” of an interview and later said that he had seen messages on a journalist’s phone about a “personal story” from his past.

Thomas had taken issue with a reporter recording an interview during a press day for Strictly at Elstree Studios ahead of the BBC show’s return. He was said to have ‘snatched’ a reporter’s phone and ‘stormed out’ of it as he was asked about the launch.

He arrived at the interview table with fellow contestant Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, who was left having to do interviews on his own. Thomas was heard saying: “What’s that? Are you taping it?” The reporter said “we have to record it” before she was heard asking: “What are you doing?”

A voice was heard saying: “Just answer the question, we’ve got three minutes.” The reporter then said: “No, no, no, don’t.” Thomas then told them: “That’s about me.” The reporter answered: “No, it’s not.” When one person asked ‘what made them run the question’, the reporter said they were ‘just recording it’. After a few moments of inaudible audio, someone else said: “Oh my God, he’s gone.”

Thomas later addressed the situation in a post on Instagram, as reported at the time. He said: “To set the record straight of the back of yesterday. During one of the interviews, a journalist placed their phone on the table to record the conversation.

“I happened to catch a glimpse of the screen and saw numerous messages – not about Strictly but about a personal story from my past. I’ve been through some difficult times in my life, which I have worked hard to move on from. In that moment, seeing it there caught me off guard. I felt it was best to step away and gather myself.”

Skinner went on: “This had nothing to do with Strictly or the interviews themselves. I’m sorry I picked up someone else’s phone, and I don’t even know if the journalist realised their messages were visible, and I don’t want to suggest any bad intentions on their part.

“What I do want to say is how excited I am to be part of Strictly this year. I’m so grateful for all the love, kindness and support I’ve been shown so far. It means the world to me, and I can’t wait to give it my all on that dancefloor. Bosh.”

The BBC had issued a statement after the incident at the press event for the show. It told the Mirror: “The BBC is very clear that any behaviour which falls below the standards expected will not be tolerated on our programmes.”

A source previously told the Mirror about the moment that unfolded: “He walked to the table with his head down, he sat down, grabbed one of the reporters phones, who told him to stop. It was a shock. His reaction came out of nowhere.”

Whilst another source told us after it happened: “It was totally out of the blue. He was absolutely fine during the first interview. In good spirits and delighted and surprised to be there. Like a competition winner.”

“We are [friends]. We are. We still speak all the time, and I’ve got nothing but lovely words to say about him.”

Ekin-Su previously dated fellow Love Island star Davide Sanclimenti after the pair met on the 2022 series but the pair split months after leaving the villa amid accusations of cheating.

The former Celebrity Big Brother star’s dating confession comes after it was announced today that she will appear in a new Netflix reality series. The reality TV favourite has been announced as one of the housemates for Inside: USA, which will be coming to the streaming giant on September 21.

The show, which is created by the UK YouTube group Sideme,n has already had two successful seasons in the UK. She will be living alongside a number of US celebrities and content creators, including Selling Sunset’s Breana “Bre” Tiesi.

Ekin, who has also appeared on Celebrity Big Brother and the US version of The Traitors, teased another new project this week.

She said: “I’ve been busy working my a*s off. I just came back from Venice, now I’m flying to America.

“I’m burnt out, but life is about working hard. You’ve got to grab it with both hands. Something’s coming up in a few months. It’s not a reality show, it’s a different project.”
