Have YOU got a story or an amazing picture or video? Email exclusive@ and you could even get PAID Fans noticed the connection after Love Island's Instagram shared a promo shot of her, and he replied: 'WOOP WOOP,' followed by fire emojis. It's none other than Dami Hope, who rose to fame on the hit dating show in 2022. On the show, Dami met his now girlfriend Indiyah Polack, who is one of the hosts of Love Island spin-off show, Aftersun. Another Love Island star, Tyrique Hyde, has brought the fact that they used to date to light, in a recent video. The caption reads: 'Tyrique bantering Dami Hope about Billykiss from Love Island.' And in the clip, both Tyrique and Dami can be seen together and Tyrique says to the camera: 'Shout out Billykiss though, Dami's ex. If I'm lying I'm dying' Dami can be seen looking on surprised, and replies: 'Oh that's what we're doing now? He's troubled man. He's so troubled that he had to do that.' Watch awkward moment Love Island's Meg clashes with bombshell Billykiss over Dejon in brutal game The boys crack up into laughter, with Tyrique saying: 'Let's shoutout all our exes.' The Sun has contacted their reps for comment. Despite being exes, the pair appear to now have a close friendship and work together for a party company named License2Party. A source told the Daily Mail: "Bilikis and Dami have known each other for years after both growing up in Dublin. "They dated a long time ago but still run a party business together so Dami not given a heads up on her villa entrance may not have gone down well. "Their former fling is guaranteed to be discussed on Aftersun given Dami's girlfriend Indiyah is a regular panellist." Meanwhile, Dami and Indiyah have been going strong since they met on Love Island three ago, and are the only couple from that series who are still together. War of words It's been something of a tough start for Billykiss romantically in the villa. Meg went head-to-head with the bombshell over Dejon in Thursday night's brutal game. The Islanders took part in a a Superman challenge, donning their finest Clark Kent and Lois Lane outfits. Yasmin and Gio chose Dejon as the least dedicated. Yasmin explained her reasoning: 'I don't feel like you've dedicated yourself fully to the whole experience. "I hope you've only dedicated to getting to know one person…' Dejon remarked: 'I didn't know when all of a sudden it's become a problem wanting one woman.' Yasmin continued: 'There's other girls in here like Billykiss who picked you to go on a date because she was obviously attracted to you…' Meg interjected: 'Well he clearly doesn't want her.' Billykiss then said: 'Well he didn't say that. He didn't say he didn't want me." Meg hit back: "It's not up to you guys, we will decide ourselves." She then said to Dejon: 'You say you're open then when she's not around you don't act like you're closed.' Dejon reacted: 'I don't care about any of your opinions, I know what I want and that's Meg." Billykiss replied: "Well close things off, even on the date when I asked if you were open and you wanted to get to know me, you said yes." Dejon fired back: "Please Billykiss, is this like your five minutes of TV or what? "I don't understand why you're still going on.' After some choice words between her and Meg, the exchange ended with Billykiss told Dejon: 'You don't want to hear the truth which is why you're feeling sour.' Viewers were full of praise for Billykiss as she finally delivered some home truths to Meg and Dejon.

Michelle Keegan 'lands six figure deal' as she shares powerful message
Michelle Keegan has been sharing a look behind-the-scenes of her new project on Instagram, after it was reported that she had signed a six-figure deal with Sky. Michelle Keegan posted an uplifting message this week, following her return to work. The actress had been on maternity leave after welcoming her daughter Palma Elizabeth with husband Mark Wright. The update follows reports that the actress has secured a new six-figure contract, reports the Mirror. The former Corrie star, 38, is believed to be filming away from home and has offered a behind-the-scenes peek at her mystery project via Instagram. Accompanying her on this work trip is her team, consisting of a makeup artist, hairstylist and fashion stylist. Michelle has posted several updates whilst on location on Friday morning. Her updates included disclosing that the group had brought along a set of affirmation cards, designed by motivational speaker Roxie Nafousi. Michelle subsequently displayed the card that had been selected. The actress, who was previously tipped to take over the female-led Bond role, initially posted an image of someone drawing a card from the pack. Michelle then revealed the message to fans, with her chosen card stating: "I am deserving of happiness and success." She accompanied it with heart and star emojis. Roxie responded to the post on Michelle's Instagram and shared it with her own followers. Commenting on the use of her card deck in the celebrity's post, she wrote: "OMG [Michelle] using my affirmation cards." Following Michelle's recent transition into becoming a mum for the first time, and a surge in her career achievements, the actress has been embracing new opportunities. The star, who welcomed her four-month-old daughter Palma in March, wrapped up filming for the final season of Sky's hit series Brassic in May and is rumoured to have penned a new deal for an upcoming venture. Michelle, who last year shot to fame for Netflix's Fool Me Once, becoming one of the streaming giant's most-watched original series globally, is reportedly set to become the fresh face of Sky. She is expected to shoot a promotional video with Idris Elba for the broadcaster. "Michelle has really been enjoying maternity leave with Palma, but she'll be back to work soon to film these new adverts for Sky. She has signed a six-figure deal for the job and is thrilled to have been chosen to appear alongside Idris, who has been their 'face'," a source disclosed to The Sun. The insider also mentioned that Michelle is eager to maintain her association with Sky post-Brassic, which debuted in 2019. They noted that featuring in its commercials is a significant step for the star, who is carving out her own niche as a "brand in her own right". The source concluded by saying: "Everything she touches seems to turn to gold." Michelle took maternity leave after the arrival of her daughter Palma in March. She and her husband Mark Wright announced the joyous news of their baby's birth, sharing their excitement about the "new love to share" with their followers. She has been keeping her fans in the loop about her journey into motherhood, while also sharing updates about her professional life. Her latest ventures includes promoting partnerships with brands like L'Oréal and her own swimwear line, Orfila Bee, in recent months.

Strictly's Nadiya Bychkova gives huge love life update after Kai Widdrington split
Strictly's Nadiya Bychkova gives huge love life update after Kai Widdrington split Nadiya - who dated Kai for three years - told the Daily Mail's Eden Confidential column: "Look at me - being single is beautiful Nadiya Bychkova has decalred she loves being single - a year after her shock split from Kai Widdrington. The Strictly Come Dancing pros' fans were devastated when the pair announced their breakup in July 2024 - which was reportedly because of the pressures of working and touring with each other - but Nadiya, 35, insists she is happy and in a "really good place" being on her own. Nadiya - who dated Kai for three years - told the Daily Mail's Eden Confidential column: "Look at me - being single is beautiful. "I'm in a really good place and I'm really happy." Kai went Instagram official with his new girlfriend, executive assistant Chloe Wells in April, and he recently admitted to feeling the "happiest" he has ever been. In May, the 29-year-old star told Christine Lampard, 46, who was standing in as host on Lorraine Kelly's, 65, eponymous ITV1 magazine show: "2025 is the half of 10 years, I'm turning 30 in August, and as you said, things come at the perfect time. Article continues below "I feel very, very happy, and it's largely down to my other half as well." Even though Nadiya and Kai maintain their professionalism by working with each other on the hit BBC One Latin and Ballroom dancing show - they are not friends. She told The Mirror in October 2024: "We work together but we are not friends and that's OK. "One thing I can tell you is that when you see me dancing with him, it will be amazing because I'm a professional." Nadiya also told the Daily Mail that she is "tired" of the rumours that she and her 2021 Strictly dance partner, 48-year-old broadcaster Dan Walker, were more than good friends - despite Dan being happily married to his wife Sarah for over 20 years. Speaking about the gossip, Dan told The Sun in 2021: "The rumours about us were ... disappointing. I know these happen every year on Strictly, and there have been instances in the past of the so-called curse, and it's just telly. But it's just not nice." Dan also said he and Sarah used to joke about the infamous Strictly Curse - a phenomenon that sees individuals taking part in the show who are already in relationships end up finding a romance from the programme. He added: "When Sarah saw who I was partnered with, we had to have a laugh about it. "Obviously, you discuss those things, the curse, but it wasn't a lengthy discussion. I think we tried to make it light-hearted, to have fun doing it. Article continues below "But the first Monday I trained with Nadiya, she came around and had dinner with my family. We've been out four or five times to restaurants. "My family is really, really important to me and always have been and always will be. I didn't want them to feel excluded. "So no, being paired with Nadiya was never a problem. Friendship is a blessing. And I think from the moment we first met, Nadiya and I knew we were going to get on."
