Over the summer, Love Island will be celebrating its tenth anniversary, and rumors claim that Maura Higgins will appear in an ITV special about the occasion.

Love Island is reportedly set to celebrate its 10 year anniversary with a special documentary. Some of the show’s “biggest stars” are said to be lined-up to appear in the project to coincide with the anniversary over the summer. ITV launched the current format of Love Island in June 2015, with it a revival of the previous celebrity show of the same name that ran for just two series from 2005 until 2006.

Now preparations are said to be underway for the reboot’s tenth anniversary ahead of the occasion in less than two months. It has been reported that a documentary will air ahead of the next series of Love Island to mark the special occasion. It’s been teased that former islanders will share behind-the-scenes stories whilst looking back at footage from the show.

The Sun reported that the project is expected to adopt a format similar to Channel 4’s Gogglebox. It suggests that former islanders will look back at videos of “stand-out moments” from the eleven series that have aired since 2015.

The outlet adds that the “biggest stars” from the reality TV show’s history are set to appear in it. It named Dani Dyer, Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, Maura Higgins, Olivia Attwood and Zara McDermott as expected participants in the special.

Fans can anticipate some of the people involved to share secret information, according to a source who spoke to the Sun. They added, “You can expect quite a few of them to reveal some serious inside-the-villain tales from their time in the villa.”

Love Island fans will be delighted by the return of some of the show’s most well-known stars, the source continued. Some of the most well-known couples are still together, including some of them.

The first series of the revived Love Island – initially hosted by the late Caroline Flack – aired between June and July in 2015. Ten more series have aired since then, with Laura Whitmore taking over from Caroline in 2020, before current host Maya Jama then replaced her in 2023.

Former islander Olivia was a finalist on the third series of Love Island, which aired back in 2017. She placed third with Chris Hughes on the dating show, which was won by Amber Davies and Kem Cetinay that year.

Dani is among the winners of the show, having won the fourth series beside Jack Fincham in 2018. Zara was on the same series of Love Island as them, though she was dumped from the villa after less than two weeks on the show.

Maura was on the following series, which ended up being won by Amber Gill and Greg O’Shea, and was a finalist. More recently, Ekin-Su and Davide Sanclimenti were crowned the winners of Love Island’s eighth series in 2022.

Since its launch ten years ago, Love Island has produced the spin-off All Stars, in which former islanders have to flee the villa. Ekin-Su was one of the participants in the second series earlier this year when the show first aired the following year.

In response to mounting speculation, married At First Sight Australia star Ryan Gallagher and his Olympian swimmer fiancée have separated after just two years of dating.

A Married at First Sight star has split from his Olympic swimmer fiancée just two years after they welcomed their first child together and announced their engagement. Reality TV star Ryan Gallagher is best known for appearing on MAFS Australia back in 2018, which aired in the UK in 2020.

Ryan announced on Instagram two years ago that he had welcomed a son Sampson with Olympic swimmer girlfriend Emily Seebohm, shortly after the couple became engaged. However, they have now reportedly called it quits after nearly three years together. A source confirmed to Sky News Australia: “Ryan and Emily are trying to find a new normal, which has been a real process. Their number one priority is Sampson and ensuring he continues to feel supported by both parents.

“They haven’t felt the need to make public statements.” The Mirror has reached out to Emily’s representatives for comment.

On MAFS Australia, Ryan and bride Davina Rankin were best friends, but their TV union ended when Davina cheated on Ryan with another man. Ryan left the program as a single.

After the show, Ryan took part on the Australian version of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! where he met co-star Charlotte Crosby. The pair originally clashed on the show, however they soon struck up a romance on the show.

The pair kissed while on the Australian spin-off, however Charlotte cancelled their planned date. She told her campmates: “We can’t be going on a date now. I don’t think I want to.”

Emily, a reality star who won the Olympic swimming team, proposed to Ryan in December 2022. I did get anxious, he claimed in Woman’s Day magazine. In my pocket, the (ring) box was slightly bulging. So either she was aware of my proposal or she simply believed my presence was romantic.

Fans’ unfollowing of the couple’s relationship on social media caused the couple to become upset about it. Even photos of Emily with their baby Sampson were taken out of Ryan’s feed, including those that were posted shortly after his birth.

Emily and Ryan did spent Christmas together as they headed to visit Santa Claus alongside their son. It wasn’t just Ryan who appeared to have hinted at the split.

When Sampson and the Olympian took a day trip to a theme park, the Olympian raised questions. In the snap, glee-eyed admirers noticed she wasn’t wearing her engagement ring.

Fans emailed her with questions like, “Where is Ryan? ” That is accurate, “another added:.” I’m hoping everything is alright. No Ryan and no ring, according to someone else. I’m hoping it’s not significant.

Emily’s ring was missing once more when she shared a sweet clip of her playing with her son last month.

The occasion coincided with their 14th wedding anniversary by the Prince and Princess of Wales by posting a romantic photo of their trip to the Isle of Mull in Scotland.

The Prince and Princess of Wales looked loved-up in a new photograph shared on the day of their 14th wedding anniversary, having spent the special occasion in the Isle of Mull in Scotland as part of a two-day visit.

The couple, who wore matching checked blazers and chinos, enjoyed the breathtaking scenery as they gathered around one another in a private moment in Tobermory in the new photo. “Wonderful to return to the Isle of Mull. The caption, which used their initials, read “W &amp, C,” along with “Thank you to everyone for such a warm welcome”.

The sweet picture comes hours after Prince William and Kate arrived on the island where they waved to the crowds who’d gathered to catch a glimpse of the royal couple. With the pair set to spend two-days on the island, they kicked off the trip with a visit to Aros Hall in the coastal town of Tobermory and were greeted by cheers by over 200 tourists and local residents who lined the main street of Tobermory to welcome them.

The Royal Foundation is providing grants to the refurbishment of Aros Hall and a community hall in the southern Mull village of Pennyghael. Interior designer Banjo Beale and other islanders will collaborate to make sure the community-owned centers are in tune with local culture as part of the project.

After receiving a tour of the building, Prince William and Kate, who are officially known by their Scottish titles the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay when in Scotland, headed to the Tobermory Producers Market where they sampled produce and met the makers and creators.

The two-day visit to the Isle of Mull coincides with the pair’s 14th wedding anniversary after they tied the knot in front of around 1,900 guests at Westminster Abbey back in 2011. Since then the Prince and Princess of Wales have become parents to Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and seven-year-old Prince Louis.

With the pair’s wedding anniversary marking the first since Kate revealed she was in remission – with Prince William previously calling 2024 a “brutal” year “from a personal family point of view” – former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond says that the celebration will be even more special.

“That extra bit special must be their first anniversary after Catherine’s official remission.” Every milestone helps them move their lives a little closer to the horrible day of her cancer diagnosis. William’s mother passed away, and she claimed that he knew it would either make or break him, and that he would not allow it to break him.

“I believe they both have handled their situation with the same brutality as they have now experienced. Their union is even more powerful than it was before, and it is already a smashing success. They seem to get along well. a lot . And that’s completely different from loving one another, which they also do, by the way. A lot”.

Jennie continued, “I think theirs is a pretty equal partnership,” describing what contributes to their relationship being so successful. Williams is a father who teaches children much more than his grandfather or father. And Catherine, in my opinion, won’t let him get away with anything less.

They work together as a team, and they are able to communicate with one another with just a look or a gesture. They occasionally appear to be nipping at one another or making them smile.

Taking a snoop around as well as visiting her home town of South Shields, Perrie opens up about her childhood, becoming a mother, and her time in one of the most successful girl-bands in British history.

As Alison and Jimmy take a boat trip on Lake Windermere to join Sir Lenny in their beloved Midlands, it’s adrenaline pumping.

“Well, first off, Jimmy Carr decides to enjoy an ice bath. Who does that, exactly? Alison laughed. “And there’s Mel B, a full-fledged farm girl with goats and chickens and the Spice Girl.” Additionally, Henry Lenny? That man has “story for days” that I had to pause for a few times to “take it all in”!

This Morning and Great British Bake Off star Alison said she’s hoping it might land her a new career opportunity.

I told Perrie, “she needs me in the studio, and I’ll bring the vocals or at least the vibes,” Alison said. However, I believe she fears that I’ll take control. Let’s make a hit, hun, perrie, if you’re reading this!

Alison Hammond’s Big Weekend, which explores some of the most well-known celebrities in the UK, allows viewers an exclusive look into their homes, histories, and personal lives.

As they show Alison the people and places that have helped them become the stars they are today, all six celebrities reveal their lives, experiences, and occasional tears.

Alison travels throughout the UK as she poses the important questions that are essential to her unique and hilarious way of making her one of the country’s most adored TV personality.

Alison remarked on one of her favorite moments from the show, “Learning to ride with Luke Evans made it feel like I was in a true period drama!” Having a relationship with Tony Bellew? I gave it my best shot (literally speaking).

“And meeting Axel, the mother of Perrie Edwards’ child, and her mother. That was a truly special moment. The real magic is, to be honest, just having a proper conversation with these celebrities and getting to know them in a way you don’t usually see.

Alison claims that there were plenty of laughs and tears when she opened up the celebrities with her disarming charm. She said, “That’s what happens when you’re stuck with me.” I don’t speak until they spill! Spending quality time with someone makes people relax, in my opinion.

On the most recent episode of their BBC show Stacey &amp, Joe, which aired tonight, Joe Swash opened up about his early life while undergoing therapy with his wife Stacey Solomon.

Former EastEnders cast member Joe Swash has opened up about a “really dark time” in his life. He spoke about the experience in a therapy session with Stacey Solomon on tonight’s episode of their documentary series Stacey & Joe.

The BBC show, which launched earlier this month, follows Joe, 43, and Stacey, 35. It had been teased in a preview for the latest episode that the couple attended a therapy session during a filming. Joe had previously shared that he wasn’t keen on the idea of therapy but did go ahead with it. As well as speaking about his marriage with therapist Natalie, he also discussed the loss of his late father Ricky Swash, who died when Joe was 12. Ricky, who was 39 at the time, had reportedly lived with an undiagnosed heart condition prior to his death.

Joe responded to Natalie when asked about his early life, “Mine was quite traumatic. My father suddenly passed away. But I almost witnessed it. And since then, things have changed, as you can tell. My home life altered. It’s a challenge.

He continued, “I found that really challenging while I was in secondary school.” I was always like I was getting into trouble or making up mischief, so I was always just tarred with the [label]naughty kid. Simply put, it was a very dark time.

Natalie responded, “I believe you think that quite a lot of the time that you are the problem. We are becoming more defensive in response to that. She made the speculative that Joe “underneath” himself “really hard.” Joe responded, “Maybe. The issue is real to me, though.

After Joe and Stacey had already discussed their marriage during the therapy session, the discussion broke out. We both decided it would be wise to see a therapist who specializes in ADHD, according to Stacey, “because I believe that sometimes many things we think we’re not getting anywhere on have to do with ADHD.”

Joe said during the session that he had been diagnosed with ADHD and that he “does things differently. I’ll be distracted and have a task to complete. I’m sure it must be so frustrating because I never finish anything. However, I constantly try my best to help everyone and often end up pleasing nobody in my head, which is what I’m doing.

Stacey claimed that despite his efforts to “support” her, he doesn’t always perform the tasks she has asked him to. However, she suggested that he “is putting a lot of effort in.” She responded, “He’ll do other things that aren’t what I’m asking for.” She continued, “You’re a great dad and you’re an amazing person, but sometimes I don’t think you take into account all the fires I’ve got to put out everywhere.”

When Joe said, “It’s so frustrating when I feel like all I’m doing is trying to devote myself to my family and make the most of every minute of every day, and then to sit here and hear that I’m a huge problem. Before Joe said, “All I’m hearing is that I’m this huge problem in Stacey’s perfect life,” Stacey said, “nobody is saying that.”

Joe claimed that he doesn’t hear any “positive stuff about]him] as a person, and Stacey claimed it was unfair to her. According to Stacey, “I would say that our biggest issue is that I cannot say anything without you taking it so personally as an attack on you as a whole person.”

She later told him, “It’s about working together to manage the situation.” Stacey claimed she wasn’t there to “change” her husband but to “support” who they are.

Natalie continued, “I believe there are some things that the diagnosis is exacerbating, but I believe there is also normal couple stuff.” She continued, “In terms of expectations and communication.” The therapist later observed that “it seems like you’re both sort of coming to the table with your minds already made up.” She is making a mockery of me. He must do this for me. I don’t get what I want. And I wonder if there is a balance between reality and reality.

Stacey said, “Maybe our issue isn’t even having to do with your ADHD,” on the way home. Although you might think it’s ADHD, it’s actually a common part of our communication based on what has happened in our lives. If we could hear each other better, she said, “I think that would be a huge leap for us.”

Later in the episode, the couple – who reportedly had a “row in the street” amid the therapy session – reflected on the therapy session. Joe said: “I feel like I got off my chest how I felt and I feel like you got off your chest how you felt.” Stacey added: “I feel like we’ve communicated better just since then.” Joe teased that they could attend another session, saying: “I agree. I think we go back and see her, and then just take it step by step.”

Next Tuesday at 8 p.m. on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, Stacey & Joe will continue. On BBC iPlayer, you can watch previous episodes.

Following the long-distance race that she and her husband Jeremy Parisi participated in, London Marathon runner Kelly Brook has revealed that she has been in the hospital with an injury.

Radio host Kelly Brook has announced that she ended up in hospital after running the London Marathon on the weekend. Alongside her husband Jeremy Parisi, she was among the celebrities who took part in the annual event.

Kelly, 45, was one of the runners in the long-distance race on Sunday, with her having completed it in just over six and half hours. The Loose Women panellist – who had kept fans updated on her training – said in a post on Instagram after the marathon in London that she was “sore but happy”. The Heart Radio presenter has since announced that she’s been diagnosed with a stress fracture on her foot. The NHS describes those fractures as “tiny cracks in the bone caused by overuse”.

They are “quite common” for people running a marathon for the first time, according to Kelly, who previously stated she hadn’t run more than 5k.

On her Heart Drive show this afternoon, Kelly mentioned having broken her foot. She is now wearing a medical boot. She mentioned on the radio station that she might be wearing a recovery boot for up to six weeks.

She said: “I went for a post-marathon scan on my foot today. I’ve been following Jenni Falconer who also ran the London Marathon.” Kelly added: “She’s all strapped up in a boot, someone stamped on her foot and cracked a bone.”

Kelly continued: “My foot looked a bit like hers’ so I sent her a picture and she said ‘go get an X-ray!’ Well, I’ve walked to three hospitals to be told I’ve got a broken foot. I was like I could have told you that at hospital number one!”

She added: “I cannot believe the ordeal! What time is it now? Four-thirty. I set off at nine o’clock this morning, I’m not joking!” The former Celebrity Race Across the World contestant suggested in the discussion that she visited several hospitals, including one that didn’t have an MRI to assess her apparent injury.

Kelly is alleged to have said, “Someone wheeled me out to the road and then just offloaded me, and I had to hobble across the road to another hospital who then didn’t have an MRI.” Oh my goodness, it’s been a lot of pain! They only directed me to a cashier so I could pay for it, “!

She added, “It seems like I have a stress fracture, which is quite common with first-time marathon runners because we don’t know what we’re doing.” So I’m in a boot, which appears to last for six weeks. But I do “have a medal”!

In a recent social media photo, Kelly and her husband Jeremy, 39, both received medals after finishing the marathon. She also shared images of the boot she’s currently wearing following the injury.

Kelly also made fun of the injury by saying on the radio that she once “heard a crack.” She said, “I heard a crack, and I didn’t know if it was a blister popping or a bone; let’s just keep going”!

Listen to JK and Kelly Brook’s weekly Heart Drive on Global Player and from 16:00 to 19:00 in the UK.
