Love Island fans demand ‘game player' Harry is sent home after spotting huge clues he's faking it for the cameras
LOVE Island fans have branded Harry a 'game player' and demanded he is sent home after his sudden U-turn. In a shock move the footballer is seen snogging Helena during a very chaotic game of Snog, Marry, Pie - leaving Shakira fuming. 6 6 6 Those watching at home are convinced he has targeted Helena again after both he and Shakira found themselves in the bottom six. One person commented: 'How convenient that Harry runs back to kiss Helena after him and Shakira were in the bottom 6. If Helena takes him back and doesn't actually see that he is playing a game, she can go. She can leave the villa and planet earth for all I care. Maybe they will accept the return of the mug on Mars.' A second said: 'Harry and Shakira are both in the bottom 3 but Helena isn't and now he starts making moves on her again .....wow what a coincidence.' While a third added: 'Of course Harry will go back Helena wasn't in the bottom and Shakira was. Playing the ultimate game.' And others begged for him to be axed, with one writing: 'Can Helena and Harry go home already.' In scenes set to air tonight the girls go first and Helena chooses to snog Harry, remarking: 'It's been a while and I wanted to test the waters.' Shakira goes next and snogs Harry too, saying 'I fancy the pants off him.' The boys go next and after almost walking past her, Harry pulls Helena in for a snog leaving Shakira open mouthed. He admits: 'There's undeniable sexual chemistry.' Harry then chooses to go down on one knee for Shakira, but his proposal is declined. Watch the VERY awkward moment Helena completely blanks Harry and Shakira in dramatic recoupling - did you spot it Later on the Terrace, Toni and Yasmin console an upset Shakira who cries: 'I can handle all of them being b****es when I've got a good thing with Harry… "Now everything has gone to sh**.

Sam Ryder 'stoked' for Glastonbury Festival performance
Eurovision star Sam Ryder has said appearing at Glastonbury Festival is his chance to "put a flag in the ground and stand behind" what he has been working on. The star has been spotted a number of times in the lead up to his set, from popping up on a train to giving an impromptu performance at "surprise shows".He will be playing the Avalon Stage at 19:50 BST and said: "There can't be any kind of approach of any arrogance to this sort of thing. "It's about singing your heart out and finding the intention of what being here is, of what you're trying to say and I'm stoked for that." Glastonbury 'appalled' by Bob Vylan IDF commentsRed Arrows fly over Glastonbury as Pulp performFood, fire crews and solar stages: The people of GlastoBeyond the acts: Glastonbury after dark Speaking to the BBC Somerset podcast Inside Glastonbury, the singer said: "I've been in the studio for the past year, kind of away from things and really putting the time in to kind of understand what it is that I want to put forward into the world of music, and what I want to say."Ryder revealed to the BBC that he finished his latest album just days ago, on his birthday."So for me, this is a time to kind of put your flag in the ground and stand behind what you've been working on," he said."Today we get to share it outside the walls of my studio, which is really exciting." The 36-year-old added he had come across a video of himself from two years ago, chatting about "how much of a dream it would be to play the festival". "Where I come from in music, it's quite far away from Glastonbury. You wouldn't even think about it, it was almost unreachable," he said. "Now, the music I make, it can kind of work here, which is so cool, I mean this globally iconic festival."And like the size of it, the scale, unless you're here - I've never been here before, I first stepped foot in this field three days ago - it's overwhelming in the best way."He added he "couldn't be more grateful" for the opportunity to open up his act people at the festival. "You have to welcome with open arms people that are just passing by the tent, that just have heard your name and been like 'I wanna see what this is all about', or people that have been there for every single song."It's your job to respect the time of every single individual that walks underneath that canvas."

Dumped Love Island star says DMs are flooded with celebs after leaving villa
Blu Chegini, who was dumped from the Love Island villa this month, says that some famous faces have slid into his DMs since leaving and accuses ITV of not showing his true personality. Dumped Love Island star Blu Chegini has revealed that his DM's are 'popping' since leaving the famous ITV2 villa, and there's even a few famous names in there. Talking with Mirror at the TRIC Awards in central London, 26-year-old Blu admitted, "It's been a bit mad since I left the villa, the DMs have been busy though, they're popping." He added, "There's been a few famous ones, but I better not say who." Despite being in the original line-up of islanders at the beginning of this series, Blu was dumped from the island earlier this month in a brutal recoupling which left him single. Before his departure, he was getting to know girls Alima and Shakira, who remain in the villa. Since returning home, Blu's Instagram has reached 22K followers - including the likes of former Love Island winners Jess Harding and Gabby Allen and Married At First Sight star Hannah Norburn. He has also signed to Neon Managment, the same PR company who manages stars such as Joey Essex and Lucinda Stratford. While there may be plenty of single girls hoping to catch London-based Blu's eye back in the UK, the reality star still has eyes for Mallorca. Admitting the premature departure was disappointing, Blu said he'd like another crack at the famous villa: 'Get me back in there, I'd definitely go back and show my personality more, I didn't get to do that. "I did show it in the villa but it wasn't aired in the episodes, so I'd like people to get to know me and see what I'm really about. I want ITV to fly me out for Casa Amor.' Describing his type as Poppy Harrison, who was only on the show for two days as she attempted to turn Remell's head at the Sleepover villa, Blu says the bombshell is exactly who he was waiting to enter the villa for himself. However, if the Construction Project Manager doesn't make it back to Mallorca before the end of the series, he's hoping for one of his fellow OG islanders to win the series. 'I want Tommy to win, I'm not sure who he'll be partnered with, but I'd like him to win.' Blu also weighed in on the villa drama after Toni and Emily recently came to blows, admitting he thinks Emily is a 'sweet girl' and doesn't know why there's been a war of words between the pair.
