Love Island's Dejon turns on 'best friend' Harry in shock twist as fans call out his 'calculated' behaviour amid Helena row ahead of the final
The personal trainer appeared to show where his friendship lies with the semi-pro footballer after an unexpected twist.
The Grafties returned this year to the delight of views, bringing drama and turmoil to the villa as relationships lay in tatters following the ceremony.
From Cach's realness to Harry's secret antics, the Islanders were exposed to what had been going on behind their backs over the past few weeks.
One particular moment got everyone talking, after clips revealed Harry had been showing interest in Shakira again, despite being exclusive with his partner Helena.
Things between sour between the two as Helena was left upset by his actions and ultimately decided to call it quits with him.
Those watching from home were left confused as to why Dejon didn't check on Harry after he fell out with Helena, despite them being close.
During their time in Casa Amor, fans say Dejon was 'egging him on' - but backtracked during tonight's episode.
Dejon even went so far as to insist he felt 'fooled' by his pal Harry after the private conversations were played to the villa.
Over on X, people shared their disappointment in Dejon, with many saying they want him and Meg out.
Tweets included: 'Yeah the fact dejon didn't even speak to harry tonight to check up on him or even get a clearer picture was disgusting - definition of fake #LoveIsland';
'Dejon is such a twisted individual. Egged on Harry's behaviour from the start, to play Helena like she's a joke. Then cleans up his act & makes Meg his gf to get to the finals and win the 50k. Cold & calculated fr';
'Its not surprising tho. Dejon sold out Harrison and Helena when they were caught too. #LoveIsland #LoveIslandUK';
'WHY IS DEJON ACTING LIKE HE DIDN'T KNOW. HARRY TOLD DEJON HE WAS UNSURE ABOUT HIS FEELINGS YESTERDAY. A TERRIBLE BOYFRIEND AND AN EVEN WORSE FRIEND. WOW #loveisland
'Maybe Dejon really is in debt, he's going full actor #LoveIsland #LoveIslandUK
Over on X, people shared their disappointment in Dejon, with many saying they want him and Meg out
It comes after Dejon asked Meg to be his girlfriend during Monday night's episode.
In recent weeks, the pair have gone from strength to strength after the personal trainer finally put his flirty antics behind him and stuck by 'his Meg'.
But some viewers still believe Dejon is not showing his true colours, going as far as accusing him of 'planning to win the £50,000 prize' if they're crowned the winners.
Viewers on X accused Dejon of plotting to win the show, having popped the question just weeks before the finale.

Fantastic low and no-alcohol fizz
In April I took my 16-year-old stepdaughter south to see the cherry trees bloom. Not so far south — just to Mei Ume, the Japanese restaurant at the Four Seasons Hotel in London. Handcrafted paper cherry blossoms sprouted from the light fixtures in the elegant, high-ceilinged room, with its Chinese and Japanese art on the walls to match the blend of those two countries' cuisines on the menu. For Cherry Blossom Season, the head chef Peter Ho had concocted a series of delicious small plates, matched to cocktails based on Saicho Sparkling Tea. Mine contained Saicho Hojicha (a green tea made smoky by roasting over charcoal), as well as Hennessy XO and Grand Marnier. Nora, being slightly younger, had a mocktail with Saicho Jasmine, green apple puree and vanilla. Mine was good but hers, with the bite of that apple and the perfumed NoLo fizz, was better — and I don't even much like vanilla. • This article contains affiliate links that will earn us revenue This was a revelation. I already knew I liked the Saicho drinks (£17.99, — adding bubbles to the delicate aromas and structured tannins of good tea is a brilliant idea. A recent dinner with the teens involved us all sharing a magnum of Fortnum & Mason's Sparkling Tea (£45, Its lemon-peel and thyme flavours were a great complement to one-pot Basque chicken and, especially, an orange, fennel and radish salad. And pouring a magnum for four is a lot more fun than sharing a bottle between two while the young people dissolve their teeth in sugar-loaded soda pop. I am not giving up alcohol any time soon. But there is, as Maggie Frerejean-Taittinger points out, a pleasure balance. She is the co-creator of French Bloom, one of the best non-alcoholic sparkling wines on the market. She has made canny use of fine chardonnay grapes from Limoux in the Languedoc and of the Champagne expertise available via her husband, Rodolphe Frerejean-Taittinger, who heads Champagne Frerejean Frères. There is even, now, a vintage French Bloom, La Cuvée 2022 (£95, Frerejean-Taittinger has made it her mission to create a sparkling no-alcohol drink from grape juice that is as pleasurable as a champagne. She doesn't think they are quite there yet. 'We hope, in five to seven years, to be able to share a bottle with as much complexity as a wine,' she said at Women in the World of Wine, a conference on the future of wine (alcoholic and otherwise), held last autumn at the sumptuous Royal Champagne & Spa hotel. I'm sure she will get there. But my assumption has always been that for real complexity, alcohol helps. That Saicho experience made me think again. I experimented with a mocktail of my own: a version of one of my favourite cocktails, the kir royale, champagne and crème de cassis. A slug of Jukes 6 — The Dark Red (£43 for 9x30ml bottles, a savoury black-fruit cordial that is part of the Jukes Cordialities range, topped up with French Bloom's Le Rosé. It was lovely, softly floral with just a touch of blackberry acidity. After all, the only necessary beverage is water. Everything else is a luxury, intended to elicit the same sensations of delight as gazing at the ephemeral loveliness of cherry blossom. Pleasure is meant to be temporary. It's the memory that lasts — or at least, it does when the drink is alcohol-free.

Jackie 'O' Henderson reveals the REAL reason why men cheat on their wives
Jackie 'O' Henderson has revealed that she now understands why happily married men cheat on their wives. The 50-year-old said she was brainstorming with a friend over the weekend about male infidelity when she cooked up her solution, which she called The Hot Chip Theory. 'You know when a man cheats and he's in a really loving relationship and he really loves his wife and he's presented with an opportunity?' she said during KIIS FM's Kylie and Jackie O Show on Monday. She continued that in those circumstances 'women really struggle' with their partners who stray. 'We can't tap into [men's minds] when [they] say "it meant nothing,"' she said. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'And we go "but it does mean something", there's that polarity between us.' She then explained her theory: 'I believe it's like a hot chip vs a hot chick.' 'If you're a woman and you're on a diet and you've just been like eating chicken and vegetables and someone puts a plate of hot chips in front of you its almost physically impossible for you to not eat the hot chips,' she explained. Jackie said that was a 'big temptation' but women feel guilty about eating the hot chips. 'So what you're saying is that the nicest, most loving guy, when presented with a hot chick, he will stray,' added co-host Kyle Sandilands. 'Yes!' agreed Jackie. It comes after Jackie shocked listeners – and her longtime co-host Kyle Sandilands – by revealing her potential plans to walk away from radio and move overseas once her 10-year ARN contract wraps up. She made the surprising admission live on The Kyle and Jackie O Show last week revealing she intends to spend half the year living in Italy after her $10m a year contract ends. Kyle and Jackie signed a record-breaking $200 million deal with ARN in late 2023, locking them in for another 10 years. But despite nine years still remaining, the popular radio host already has her sights set on the next chapter. 'That's my plan – at the end of the 10 years to go to Italy and live there for six months every year,' Jackie told listeners. The comment appeared to catch Kyle off guard, who had just finished telling Jackie about his own dream of retiring in a 'French chateau'. 'So what you're saying is, after this 10-year deal's up, that's it for you?' he asked in disbelief.

How to get two theme park visits for the price of one this summer
The cost of summer holiday activities can quickly add up, which is why we're always on the hunt for cost-effective ways to have fun. Case in point: if you're looking for a cheap family day out this summer, we've found a deal that will save on theme park visits. Until Sunday 17 August, when you book a ticket for Alton Towers, Chessington, Legoland Windsor or Thorpe Park, you'll get a ticket for a second visit for free. This doesn't mean visiting the same theme park twice, as it can be used at any of the four parks. In order to qualify, you'll need to pre-book a 'twice the fun' ticket to get your hands on the freebie. You'll then receive a confirmation email with a barcode, which you can use to make your second booking, so keep this handy. The second ticket is valid until Tuesday, 30 September, so there is plenty of time to squeeze in a second visit. It is rare for a free ticket offer to come along, particularly during peak season. Advanced tickets to the theme parks typically start from around £34, so if you're visiting as a family, that's a chunky saving for your second visit. You can book your visit using the links below, or keep reading if you want more inspiration on which of the theme parks to visit this summer. Alton Towers If you've got little thrill-seekers to entertain this summer, Alton Towers is worth a visit. There are nine roller coasters to enjoy, including the Toxicator, which is new for 2025, while younger kids can head to the rides and attractions in CBeebies Land. Alton Towers is located outside of Stoke-on-Trent, so if you're based in the north of England, this is likely to be your nearest major theme park. Chessington World of Adventures There are plenty of adventures for kids of all ages to enjoy at Chessington, with rides inspired by the fantasy board game Jumanji, the tales of the Gruffalo and more. Your ticket also includes a visit to the park's zoo and aquarium, with the chance to see penguins, giraffes, monkeys and zebras. The park is based just outside of London, and there are regular train services running from the capital to Chessington South, which is around a 10-minute walk away. Legoland Windsor There are more than 50 rides and attractions to enjoy at Legoland Windsor. Kids can cool off on a hot day in the splash safari water play park, hop aboard the Lego submarine as part of the deep-sea adventure, get behind the wheel at the Lego driving school and lots more. The theme park is two miles outside of Windsor town centre, with shuttle services available from nearby train stations. Thorpe Park If you or your youngsters can't get enough of roller coasters, a visit to Thorpe Park is a must. The theme park is home to Hyperia, the UK's tallest and fastest rollercoaster, plus five other rides for those that want an adrenaline-filled day out. There are also plenty of rides and play areas for little ones, so the whole family can enjoy the day. The theme park is located in Chertsey, which is about 30 minutes outside of London, with shuttle buses running to the park from nearby train stations.
