Love Island viewers are left baffled as Conor breaks down in tears after Megan is dumped as he asks her to wait for him as they say 'Does he know he can leave with her?'
Love Island viewers were left baffled after Conor broke down in tears following Megan's dumping, as they asked why he wouldn't just leave with her instead.
In a shock turn of events during Friday's episode, Irish Islander Megan was dumped from the villa alongside Remell after a savage public vote.
And after days of drama as they navigated their connection despite being coupled up with different people, Conor was visibly emotional as Megan was sent packing.
'Will you wait for me?' Conor asked Megan in an emotional chat. 'Yeah, I'll wait for you,' she replied.
After some teary goodbyes and the dumped pair left the Villa, Conor broke down in tears as he spoke to Ben by the Firepit.
'I hand on heart do not think that anyone is going to come through that door that I fancy more than Megan…' he said. 'I look at her like a girlfriend on the outside.'
But his reaction left viewers confused, as they wondered why he wouldn't just leave with Megan if he thought he wasn't going to meet anyone better.
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, fans wrote: 'Connor not walking out with Megan after they done ALL of that….. what was the point then,';
'Connor didn't even consider leaving LMAOOOOOOO,'; 'We all know you're not leaving connor, wipe the tears babes,';
'Connor asking Megan to wait for him when he's not willing to leave with her is so... the audacity is through the roof,';
'Connor crying but he's not leaving with herrrr biggest liar,'; 'I think if Connor really likes Megan he'd leave with her,';
'Connor gave Megan a promise bracelet and said 'wait for me' but he still stayed in the villa for what?,';
'Why is Connor saying to Megan 'wait for me' he might as well just go home!'; 'Does Connor know he can actually leave…. It's not by force,';
'Why did connor not leave with Megan???'

'A problem of leadership': Culture secretary hits out at BBC over Glastonbury controversy
The culture secretary has claimed there is "a problem of leadership" at the BBC, as the controversy over Bob Vylan's Glastonbury performance deepens. Lisa Nandy criticised the corporation over its decision not to pull the livestream after the band's frontman shouted "death, death to the IDF" - referring to the Israel Defence Forces - on Saturday. A criminal investigation has been launched into the Glastonbury performances of both Bob Vylan and Kneecap after the police reviewed footage. Ms Nandy condemned the "appalling and unacceptable scenes" at Glastonbury and said the government would not tolerate antisemitism. She said she had called BBC director-general Tim Davie after the broadcast of Bob Vylan's set to find out why it had aired, and why the feed had not been cut. "I expect answers to these questions without delay," she said. Later, when asked in the Commons about the BBC's editorial processes and who would be held accountable, Ms Nandy replied: "When you have one editorial failure, it's something that must be gripped. When you have several, it becomes a problem of leadership." Ms Nandy said she had spoken to members of the Jewish community, including attendees at Glastonbury, who said they were concerned by imagery and slogans and ended up creating their own "safe space". Mr Davie has been facing calls for his resignation. Yesterday, drummer Bobbie Vylan released a video statement on Instagram - saying politicians who have spent time criticising the band should be "utterly ashamed" for giving "room" to this over other issues. The punk rap duo have had their US visas revoked and been dropped by their US representative, United Talent Agency. He also addressed what was said on stage, saying: "Regardless of how it was said, calling for an end to the slaughter of innocents is never wrong. To civilians of Israel, understand this anger is not directed at you, and don't let your government persuade you that a call against an army is a call against the people." Shortly after it was posted, the video was no longer available to view. Israel denies targeting civilians in its war in Gaza. During Kneecap's set, one member suggested on stage starting a "riot" outside his bandmate's forthcoming court appearance, before clarifying he meant "support". In a statement, Avon and Somerset Police said that after reviewing footage of the performances of Kneecap and Bob Vylan, further enquiries are required and a criminal investigation is now being undertaken. "A senior detective has been appointed to lead this investigation," a spokesperson said. "This has been recorded as a public order incident at this time while our enquiries are at an early stage." The force said the investigation will be "evidence-led and will closely consider all appropriate legislation, including relating to hate crimes". "We have received a large amount of contact in relation to these events from people across the world and recognise the strength of public feeling," it added. "There is absolutely no place in society for hate." What happened? During Bob Vylan's set, the duo performed in front of a screen that showed several messages, including one that said Israel's actions in Gaza amount to "genocide". Bobby Vylan also led chants of "death to the IDF". The set was live streamed by the BBC as part of its Glastonbury coverage, but has not been made available on demand. Politicians including the prime minister have criticised the performance. Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis said the chants "crossed a line" and that there was no place at the festival for "antisemitism, hate speech or incitement to violence". A BBC spokesperson said the broadcaster respected freedom of expression "but stands firmly against incitement to violence". They added: "The antisemitic sentiments expressed by Bob Vylan were utterly unacceptable and have no place on our airwaves... "The team were dealing with a live situation, but with hindsight we should have pulled the stream during the performance. We regret this did not happen." 2:32 Media watchdog Ofcom said it was in talks with the BBC and that the broadcaster "clearly has questions to answer" over the stream. Irish-language rap trio Kneecap were on stage afterwards. Before their appearance at the festival, there had been calls for Glastonbury to remove them from the bill - as rapper Liam Og O hAnnaidh (who performs as Mo Chara) is facing a terror charge, accused of displaying a flag in support of the proscribed group Hezbollah at a gig in London last November. Glastonbury organisers kept them on the line-up, but the BBC chose not to stream their set live. An edited version was later made available on demand. On stage, the band led chants of "f*** Keir Starmer". O hAnnaidh's bandmate Naoise O Caireallain (Moglai Bap) said they would "start a riot outside the courts" for O hAnnaidh's next appearance, before clarifying: "No riots, just love and support, and support for Palestine." Hundreds of people turned out in protest for his first court appearance earlier this month. Bob Vylan were set to perform in Chicago, Brooklyn and Philadelphia in the autumn. They are due to perform at Radar Festival in Manchester on Saturday and Boardmasters, a surfing and music festival in Newquay, Cornwall, in August. Sharing a statement on Instagram after the Glastonbury set, Bobby Vylan said: "Teaching our children to speak up for the change they want and need is the only way that we make this world a better place. "As we grow older and our fire starts to possibly dim under the suffocation of adult life and all its responsibilities, it is incredibly important that we encourage and inspire future generations to pick up the torch that was passed to us." The war in Gaza started after Hamas militants launched attacks in Israel on 7 October 2023, killing 1,200 people and taking roughly 250 hostages. More than 860 Israeli soldiers have been killed since the war began, more than 400 of them during the fighting in Gaza. Israel's offensive in Gaza has devastated the enclave and killed around 56,500 people, according to the Hamas-run health ministry, which does not differentiate between civilians and combatants, but says more than half of the dead are women and children.

Australian Survivor fans fight to save host Jonathan LaPaglia with online petition after he was abruptly fired: 'He is the show'
Die-hard Australian Survivor fans are fighting back after it was revealed longtime host Jonathan LaPaglia was abruptly fired from the long-running series. In a lengthy Instagram post, Jonathan said he was shocked by Channel Ten's decision to let him go, which was first revealed by Daily Mail Australia on Sunday. Now a petition calling for Channel 10 to reinstate LaPaglia as host has been launched and has already gathered more than 2,300 signatures - and the numbers are climbing fast. 'We cannot allow this change to happen without voicing our strong support for JLP to remain the host of Australian Survivor,' the petition says. 'The host plays a crucial role in maintaining the show's appeal, and JLP has proven himself time and again as the perfect fit for this role. His deep understanding of the game, combined with his rapport with contestants and viewers alike, makes him irreplaceable. 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. Die-hard fans Australian Survivor fans are fighting back after host Jonathan LaPaglia was adruptly fired from the long-running series In a lengthy Instagram post, Jonathan said he was shocked by Channel Ten 's decision to let him go, which was first revealed by Daily Mail Australia on Sunday There is one message that keeps coming up again and again among superfans - 'JLP is Australian Survivor.' Insiders tell Daily Mail Australia that Survivor: All Stars winner David Genat is tipped to take over the role. While Channel Ten confirmed the hosting shake-up on Monday, they have yet to announce a replacement. Genat recently won US$5.8 million on the US game show Deal or No Deal Island and previously hosted Nine's short-lived series Rush. But the Survivor community insists that no one can replicate LaPaglia's calm authority, dry humour, and steely-eyed tribal council entrances. 'You can swap contestants, you can switch up twists, but JLP is the one constant. He's part of the game,' said another show source. Filmed in Samoa between September and October 2024, Australia v The World is set to premiere later this year,. and will be Jonathan's final appearance on the show. It has already being promoted as one of the show's best seasons ever. It comes after Daily Mail Australia revealed that Jonathan had clashed with producers at EndemolShine Australia over the years, but remained highly respected by the crew and adored by contestants. Now a petition calling for Channel 10 to reinstate LaPaglia as host has already gathered more than 2,300 signatures - and the numbers are climbing fast 'We cannot allow this change to happen without voicing our strong support for JLP to remain the host of Australian Survivor,' the petition reads 'He's so well-established in the Survivor world - changing the host is a terrible idea,' one long-time production source revealed. 'The cast and crew love him. He brought legitimacy and heart to the show.' Despite this, the network is forging ahead with a new direction. But not everyone is convinced Genat is the right man for the job. 'He doesn't fit the brief,' one source added. 'He's charismatic, sure - but Survivor needs someone with gravitas. David is not Jonathan, and viewers will notice that.' The hosting change comes amid a ratings slump for the once high-flying franchise. The most recent season, Brains v Brawn II, saw viewership plummet to as low as 486,000 total overnight viewers - a far cry from the million-plus numbers it once pulled. And the drama doesn't stop there. Producers have been scrambling to cast the next season, which is slated for 2026. In fact, casting was so challenging that the deadline was extended to June 1 - and desperate producers even started poaching rejected applicants from Married At First Sight. 'Casting has been a nightmare,' another well-placed insider dished. 'Some of the MAFS applicants actually seemed like a better fit for Survivor - but the fact producers were even going down that road shows how bad things have gotten.' Despite the upheaval, Australian Survivor: Australia v The World is still set to hit screens later this year – with Jonathan's final season already filmed between September and October 2024. The format will see Aussie castaways face off against international Survivor royalty in what's been described as a cross-continent showdown.

Status Quo's Francis Rossi, 76, admits he's constantly worried about his health and mortality after lifestyle overhaul: 'Will I last too much longer?'
Status Quo's Francis Rossi has admitted that he's constantly worried about his health and mortality. The rocker, 76, spoke candidly in a new interview as he said he often now asks himself: 'Will I last too much longer?' Francis is the co-founder, lead singer, lead guitarist and the sole continuous member of the rock band Status Quo. In recent years he has embraced vegetable smoothies, herbal supplements and 60 sit ups-a-day as part of his impressive lifestyle overhaul following years of alcohol and drug addiction. He told The Mirror this week: 'My wife asks me when we have coffee at about 7ish, 7.30 am, she says, 'How are you today?'. I go, 'Well...' It's in the morning I get, 'What the f*** am I doing?' 'And I can't get that out of my mind, whatever I do. I'll be alright as the day goes on. I'm going into the studio in a while. And then I look forward to the next meal, and that's it really. 'Will I last too much long. Being 76 gets to me most mornings'. Back in 2021 he quipped that he hadn't got 'long left' as he discussed his strict health regime to prepare for his OUT OUT QUOING tour in 2022. He said to The Sun on Saturday at the time: 'Coming out [of lockdown ] is a problem for me. Going back to work with Quo is a problem for me. 'Physically, can I do the Quo gig? I'm fit, but I cannot emulate the lung capacity any more and I have to increase that. 'I've been practising in my room at night. I've been trying to sing Paper Plane and I get about a quarter of the way through it and it just tires you out.' His intense fitness schedule included 30-length dips in his swanky indoor pool at 7am, followed by eight minutes of crunches and 60 sit-ups. Francis, who lives in Surrey with his wife of 32 years Eileen, fills his nutrition-packed smoothies with broccoli, kale, spinach, carrots, raspberries and strawberries, with apple cider vinegar to aid digestion. Breakfast includes a diverse selection of fruit and vegetables while 'dinner' takes place at 3.30pm, giving the Status Quo star plenty of time for his stomach to settle ahead of exercising his vocal cords or going on stage. Francis revealed he prefers to eat early as he performs better on an empty stomach. Dinner is followed by a one-hour scenic power walk around his leafy neighbourhood. Francis confirmed he has ditched prescription medicines in favour of herbal remedies and a long list of supplements including probiotics, Omega 3, vitamin D and magnesium tablets. He decided to go teetotal several years ago after abusing alcohol in the 80s and developing a £1.7million cocaine habit which caused his septum to fall out in the shower. Francis said any type of drug, including prescription medications, can be a 'slippery slope' for him, after struggling to give up the legal drug, Valium, in the past. He also watched the deterioration of his band mate Rick Parfitt - who he has known since the age of 16 - after the rock 'n' roll lifestyle took a toll on his body. Rick passed away in 2016 at the age of 68. While he has turned his life around for the better, Francis confirmed he still has one vice, a single cigarette which he savours between 5.15pm and 6.30pm daily. He opts for an American spirit tobacco which is free of nasty preservatives and additives Francis said of his one-a-day habit: 'I light it and the nicotine hits worse than any drug or alcohol. I've got to have one vice!'
