The islanders from London on the hunt for romance in the Love Island villa
With shock dumpings, bombshell arrivals, and an all-new 'Sleepover Villa' twist, this summer of love has already proven unpredictable.
But through it all, two familiar faces from the capital - Dejon Noel-Williams and Helena Ford - are still in the running, and there's plenty of drama surrounding both.

Since entering the villa on launch night (Monday, June 9), 26-year-old Dejon Noel-Williams has rarely gone unnoticed.
Originally coupled up with Megan Moore, Dejon has kept viewers guessing by openly exploring new connections - including a recent flirt-filled date with bombshell Billykiss and a stint in the now-infamous Sleepover Villa.
But it's not just his cheeky charm that's getting attention.
Outside the villa, Dejon already leads a life of luxury.
As the son of former Premier League footballer Gifton Noel-Williams - who played for clubs like Watford and Stoke City - he's grown-up rubbing shoulders with sports royalty, including none other than David Beckham, according to CapitalFM.
Though he shares his dad's passion for football, Dejon forged his own path as a qualified personal trainer.
His focus on fitness has clearly served him well in the villa - and not just physically.
Helena Ford - the former flight attendant in a love triangle (or two)

Also from the original line-up, 29-year-old Helena Ford has had one of the most turbulent journeys this season.
The glamorous flight attendant entered the villa single and hopeful, but her early connection with Connor Phillips fizzled quickly.
A brief spark with footballer Harry Cooksley soon turned sour when his attention drifted elsewhere - but Helena hasn't backed down.
Lately, she's been caught in not one but two complicated love triangles: one involving Harry and Shakira Khan, and another with Harrison Solomon, 22, and Toni Laites.
Though the romance is messy, Helena has remained a central figure, often at the heart of the drama.
And she's no stranger to the limelight - she's close friends with ex-Islander Zara McDermott and is also linked to celebrity offspring like Spencer Morgan (Piers Morgan's son) and Angus Lineker (Gary Lineker's son), according to the Radio Times.
Her Instagram showcases a globe-trotting lifestyle, with snaps from Dubai, Lake Como, the Maldives, Monaco, and beyond.
Love Island Series 12 continues nightly on ITV2 and ITVX, with episodes also available to stream on YouTube.
Fans can now also watchalong live with the hosts of Love Island: The Morning After, making this one of the most interactive seasons yet.

Katie Price and Peter Andre's fiery row over daughter Princess's documentary
Katie Price and Peter Andre are locked in a bitter argument over their daughter Princess's ITV documentary The Princess Diaries. Princess is taking centre stage of her own fly-on-the-wall series as she follows in her famous parents' footsteps into the spotlight. By the age of 20, the 18-year-old would like to be a millionaire. Former glamour model Price, 47, has been banned from filming alongside her daughter in the documentary, meaning she was banned from attending her daughter's 18th birthday party because it played out in front of the cameras this week. Andre's management CAN Associates are behind the documentary, the same company who looked after Price when the famous exes were in a relationship. CAN were behind the big deal for their ITV reality series Katie And Peter that made them millions. Since their split in 2009, Price has been feuding with Andre and his management. Princess's reality series will focus only on her life with the Andre side of her family, as well as her brother Junior. The siblings live with their dad Peter Andre, his wife Emily and their three children: Amelia, 11, Theo, eight, and Arabella, one. Mother-of-five Price also has three other children from former relationships: Harvey, 23, Jett, 11, and Bunny, 10. ITV have no comment on Price being banned from the series. Speaking from Dubai, Price appeared to take aim at Andre and his management on her latest episode "A First Class B****" on The Katie Price Show podcast with her younger sister Sophie on Thursday. Conversation turned to her daughter celebrating her 18th birthday and making her documentary. "Officially mummy and Princess can go out together. Isn't it?" Price said. "If certain people would let her be seen with me." Price later added: "Just cos everyone knows she's doing this documentary. I'm not in. But we'll talk about that nearer the time. Certain people don't think it's good for Princess to be seen with me. Certain people who used to look after me." Sophie explained why she thought Price had been banned from the documentary. "You're not on brand Kate," Sophie said. "You're not on brand, you're too risky." Price hit back: "It's pathetic, I'm her mother, it doesn't affect mine and Princess' relationship. But it's so sad when certain people used to be around me and looking after me, are now looking after Princess." Being barred from filming meant Price was unable to go to Princess' 18th birthday party. "I wasn't invited because it was for filming," she told her sister. "I'm like oh they're making you do that!" Sophie responded: "I wonder what restaurant has done that for free." Price vented her frustration as she confided in her sister (and her podcast listeners). She said: "Of course mummy wasn't invited because it was for filming... The fact there is stuff my daughter is doing but I'm not allowed to be seen in any of it because it's for filming, then certain people who are filming her used to be in charge of my filming. "That's all I'm saying on it. That's fine. Conflict of interest. People will cotton onto it. So yeah we've got to do something for Princess' 18th. I did say did she want a blow up club in the garden. But she's like nah." Price hoped that Princess will be able to join them in the Isle of Wight while visiting her mum Amy. Filming is underway for Princess's documentary The Princess Diaries where the spotlight will be on the famous offspring. It will take people behind the closed doors of the Andre home. Princess told OK! magazine in June: "It's an ITV show that will be about me and the Andre side of the family. It'll be going beyond what you see on Insta or TikTok, this will be all of me. I'm going to be very real." The model has always been in her parents' TV shows but now she will be a star in her own right. "Now it's about me," she said. "It'll be weird not focusing on my dad. He and Emily will be on it, though, in the background. And Junior too. We're great together, we really bounce off each other well, so he'll be a big part of it. Mainly, I want people to see I'm a good person." Princess said she wants to be a good rolemodel for her three younger sisters. Yahoo UK has reached out to Andre's representatives CAN for further comment.

Tonight'sLove Island sees a major row between Dejon and Yasmin take place during the challenge, after she suggests he's more into Billykiss than Megan. Eek. As well as Helena asking Harry to finally make a decision between her and Shakira, and Toni and Harrison potentially making up, tonight's episode [3rd July] of Love Island sees Dejon see red over a comment made by Yasmin. The Islanders are taking part in The Superman Challenge; during which, Yasmin and partner Gio are asked who is the "least dedicated" to their partner. When they choose Dejon, Yasmin explains, '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 replies, "I didn't know when all of a sudden it's become a problem wanting one woman" to which Yasmin says, "There's other girls in here like Billykiss who picked you to go on a date because she was obviously attracted to you..." Meg then interjects with "Well he clearly doesn't want her" to which Billykiss says, "Well he didn't say that." She then tells Dejon, "You say you're open then when she's not around you don't act like you're closed." He replies, "Please Billykiss, is this like your five minutes of TV or what? I don't understand why you're still going on." Later, Billykiss says to Dejon, "You don't want to hear the truth which is why you're feeling sour." Wow, we were not expecting this drama to unfold. Is a new love triangle emerging? Love Island continues on ITV2 at 9pm.

Revealed: How Love Island's Megan and Conor knew each other before the show, as she reveals secret connection
Former Love Island star Megan Forte Clarke has revealed that she and Conor Philips actually knew each other before appearing on the show. Speaking in an interview, the 24-year-old from Dublin said: "On day one [of Love Island] Conor told me that he followed me on Instagram four years ago." She added to heatworld: "I never followed him back. Since coming out I've seen that he follows me on TikTok and he's commented on one of my TikToks. Again, I've not followed him back or even realised he'd commented on one. It's nice that he's still trying four years later, it's worked out for him now I suppose." Megan has since followed Conor back, telling Cosmopolitan UK: "I've already given him the follow... I'm like Instagram is looking good. I can approve of this." Megan's revalation comes after fans suspected that the duo may have already dated outside of the show. On Friday night's episode (27th June), Megan was dumped from the villa after receiving the fewest votes from the public. As she packed her bags, they shared an emotional goodbye and Conor could be seen crying, which some thought was a little dramatic considering they'd not known each other for long. However, a fan revealed "evidence" which they believe proves Megan and Conor knew each other before the show and even dated. One fan found photos of Conor and Megan out at similar venues. "Photo of Megan and Conor at the same place btw, proving they were together in real life,' the photos are captioned on TikTok. However one fan pointed out in the comments: "They may have been in the same place, doesn't mean they knew each other. I'm sure at some point, we've all been in the same place as somebody we met later in life." Another fan shared a photo of a picture from Conor's Instagram of him with a girl, who looks very similar to Megan with the caption: "Biggest plot of 2025... Conor and Megan are dating in real life and have been planning this this whole time." However, it turns out that it's not actually Megan in the photo, but one of Conor's friends who goes by the name Eleanor. New episodes of Love Island air on weekdays and Sundays at 9pm on ITV2.
