Love Island: Casa Amor is BACK with shock twist as one Islanders' EX makes a bombshell entrance - but who will stay loyal?
Love Island's Casa Amor is back on Sunday night and is set to bring more drama than ever. Back for another year, the iconic villa is once again set to test relationships, with a teaser clip revealing a shocking twist at the end of Friday's episode. Six female bombshells were seen strutting on to the terrace, much to the surprise of the boys and surprisingly, also the original girls - who were still in the villa. However, one girl was certainly a familiar face as Harry Cooksley was seen looking stunned as he exclaimed: 'Oh my god it's my ex!' The shock turn of events will certainly spice things up and test Harry as he rekindled things with his former flame Helena Ford earlier in the episode. Shakira Khan finally called things off with Harry, 30, after he snuck off for a chat with his ex and plotted how to rekindle things without telling his current partner. Shakira was left devastated by the turn of events and cooled things off with Harry, and he wasted no time in cracking on with Helena, 29, again. They both excitedly declared 'we're back' just moments after the break-up, and the next day, snuck off to the Hideaway together. Harry and Helena packed on the PDA as they enjoyed a dip in the hot tub, putting on a very amorous display as they proved their romance was back on track. In a surprise recoupling, Harry then picked Helena and made a very gushing speech about his affections, despite spending days denying their connection to Shakira, 26. He said: 'There is something undeniable, which I'm starting to believe. We seem to have found our way back to each other, as we always do.' Shakira then ended up back in a couple with her ex Ben Holbrough, who left the Islanders open-mouthed with his awkward speech. 'I'm just going to have to choose one,' he said of the remaining girls - referencing his lack of a romantic spark in the villa as his fellow Islanders looked stunned. However, after the dramatic Casa Amor twist, it remains to be seen whether the arrival of Harry's ex-girlfriend will test his affections towards Helena. After Shakira cooled things off with Harry, Harry and Helena enjoyed a dip in the hot tub, putting on a very amorous display as they proved their romance was back on track Viewers were left reeling when Harry and Helena began plotting about how to rekindle their relationship without telling Shakira, with their behaviour being branded as 'disgusting'. It is another huge twist after fans called for Harry and Helena to be dumped from the villa after their 'nasty' antics in Thursday night's episode. Taking to X - formerly known as Twitter - fuming viewers slammed them for their 'nasty' and 'selfish' behaviour and called for them to be dumped from the villa. Comments included: 'I am actually so pissed off at the way Harry and Helena are behaving'; Open the vote and get Helena and Ben dumped I BEG'; 'Harry and Helena are disgusting. hope they're happy when they get dumped after making a girl very miserable and laughing about it'; 'Harry is nasty man. Such a horrible person'; 'Harry & Helena are nasty people. They belong together.' Other viewers also shared their concern that the U-turn could leave Shakira single as they They raged: 'I will actually cry if Shakira gets dumped because of harry and his side chick'; 'My main worry now is Helena and Harry will recouple and Shakira will be dumped. Please don't let this happen'; 'I swear to god Shakira better not get dumped cus of Harry's stupidity'; 'Omg what if there's a recoupling and Shakira gets dumped because Harry picks Helena this s**t is stressing me out y'all.' Fans also called for another movie night to play out as they were desperate for Harry and Helena's sneaky antics to be exposed to the other Islanders. The shock scenes saw Harry and Helena disappear for yet another chat after they admitted they had an 'undeniable' connection in the challenge. Shakira refused to kiss Harry after Helena insisted they had a connection, despite her partner repeatedly reassuring her that he had shut things down with his ex. And they proved that things were anything but over in their conversation as Harry sneakily told Helena he had been 'playing down' their bond to Shakira. 'I've been trying to play it down the past few days,' he cheekily said. While Helena told him: 'If we never gave it another go, I'd always wonder what if.' The drama kicked off when Helena sparked fury by whispering 'I can't wait to f**k you' in Harry's ear during the heartrate challenge Harry then said he was under Shakira's 'thumb' and they both began scheming about how they could rekindle things without telling her. 'Let's think of a way we can approach this,' Harry asked as it became clear things were back on between them. Laughing, Helena said: 'We're so back,' as she backed Harry's plan not to tell Shakira about their antics. Shakira was left completely in the dark as she sat around the firepit and told the other Islanders that Harry had repeatedly denied his connection with Shakira. Love Island has certainly brought the drama this year, and has had over 58million streams so far, and is so far pulling in 2.4million viewers across all devices.

EXCLUSIVE Katy Perry's secret hurt as Orlando Bloom behaves like 'acting-out adolescent'
Weeks after Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom called it quits, he was spotted with a bevy of beauties, while she fought back tears thousands of miles away onstage in Australia. The British heartthrob, 48, has seemingly been embracing his newfound bachelor status with a week of partying in Italy, including a wild weekend at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez 's wedding, followed by a star-studded bash onboard a yacht. A disappointed Perry, 40, has been left hurt by his actions since the break up with an insider since telling the Daily Mail how the mom-of-one really feels. 'It's disappointing,' said a source close to Perry, who is currently on her Lifetimes world tour. 'It's hurtful and annoying. If he's going to behave like an acting-up adolescent, that's on him. She's going to continue to work and take care of Daisy.' 'Katy knows that he's free to do whatever the hell he wants to do, she hoped he'd do it a little more discreetly and thoughtfully,' the source continued. 'So she's disappointed and sad.' From a distance, Perry has seen the news coverage of her ex's behavior. He danced the night away as a guest on Bezos' swanky superyacht alongside 450 other VIPs including likes of Naomi Campbell, Kendall Jenner, Sofia Vergara and Heidi Klum. Then he was recently spotted chatting up Leonardo DiCaprio's girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti, during a water taxi ride as they headed to the airport following the Amazon founder's wedding this past weekend. Fresh from three days partying, Bloom then headed on board Ritz-Carlton's gleaming 794-ft Luminara for its inaugural cruise from Rome. But between parties, Bloom has shared cryptic posts on social media about his heartbreak The Lord Of The Rings star, 48, shared quotes from the late psychiatrist Carl Jung to his Instagram stories after the nine-year relationship ended. 'Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself,' he wrote. Reposting another quote, Orlando alluded to the darker sides of his life. The quote read: 'Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.' He followed that up by sharing a quote from Gautama Buddha to his seven million followers. 'Each day is a new beginning,' he wrote, 'What we do today is what matters most.' But the Perry insider scoffs at the inspirational quotes and says that the singer believes he is merely managing his public persona. 'He's smart enough to know that the partying is not a good look,' the source grouses. 'But all the quotes in the world from famous philosophers and religious leaders can't change the fact that he's out there doing what he's doing.' When the split was revealed, a source told Us Weekly: 'Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable,' while also adding that the separation has been 'not contentious' thus far. 'Katy is of course upset but is relieved to not have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life.' Reps for Bloom and Perry did not return the Daily Mail's request for comment. The Teenage Dream hitmaker was previously married to Russell Brand from 2010 until their divorce in 2012. Despite Bloom's behavior, Perry's friend says that she is striving to take the split in stride. 'She wishes him all the best,' says the source, 'She just wants to move forward.'

Russia accused of ramping up use of chemical weapons in Ukraine
Russia has been accused of ramping up its use of prohibited chemical weapons as part of its ongoing war in Ukraine - including the deployment of the WWI-era poison gas chloropicrin. The use of banned hazardous compounds by the Russian military has become 'standardised and commonplace' in Ukraine, the Netherlands' military intelligence and security services, alongside the German intelligence service, found. Russian soldiers use chloropicrin and riot control agent CS against sheltering Ukrainian soldiers to force them out into the open where they are more easily picked off, according to the findings. Dutch defence minister Ruben Brekelmans called for more sanctions against Moscow, and continued military support for Kyiv . Mr Brekelmans, who stayed on in a caretaker role after the Dutch government collapsed last month, said that he does not want to see the use of chemical weapons become normalised. Lowering the threshold for use 'is not only dangerous for Ukraine, but also for the rest of Europe and the world', he said in a statement. Russia has signed up to the Chemical Weapons Convention, which bans the use of chloropicrin and CS as weapons. The convention's watchdog, The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has found several incidents in Ukraine involving CS but the group has not conducted a full investigation, which must be requested by the member states. The executive committee for the OPCW is holding a regular meeting next week, where it is expected to discuss the conflict in Ukraine. Russian authorities have denied using chemical weapons in the past, instead alleging that Ukraine has used the banned substances. According to Ukraine, Russia has carried out 9,000 chemical weapons attacks in the country since the start of the full-scale invasion in 2022. In 2024, the US State Department said that it had recorded the use of chloropicrin against Ukrainian troops. Tear gas, also known as CS, is banned during wartime under the Chemical Weapons Convention, which both Russia and Ukraine are signatories of. However, last year Ukrainian soldiers claimed that Russian troops were regularly dropping K-51 grenades, which according to experts are typically filed with tear gas. Ihor, a commander of a Ukrainian reconnaissance team, told The Telegraph that they were getting 'one or two gas grenades dropped on them' every day. According to training documents that emerged in 2024, Ukrainian troops are now being told to stay where they are and endure the first few minutes of exposure to tear gas. While fleeing may give their position away, after the first few minutes the effect of the gas weakens. Russia on Friday said that it sees no immediate diplomatic way out of the war in Ukraine, hours after pummelling the war-torn country with its largest ever drone and missile barrage of the invasion. The hours-long bombardments sent Ukrainians scurrying for shelters across the country and came after a call between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, which ended without a breakthrough. Trump also said he had made no progress in discussions with Putin on ending more than three years of bitter fighting since the Kremlin ordered its troops into neighbouring Ukraine. The Kremlin said Friday it was 'preferable' to achieve the goals of its invasion through political and diplomatic means. 'But as long as that is not possible, we are continuing the special operation,' spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in a briefing, referring to Russia's invasion. Zelensky said air alerts began echoing out across the country as the Trump-Putin call was getting under way. 'Yet again, Russia is showing it has no intention of ending the war and terror,' he said on social media. In Kyiv, concerns mounted over whether the US would continue delivering military aid, which is key to Ukraine's ability to fend off the drone and missile barrages.
