Love Island: Everything To Know About Casa Amor's Cach
With the infamous Casa Amor just around the corner, the tension is only set to rise even higher. In case you need reminding, the twist sees existing couples forced apart, with each partner being tested by new arrivals in Casa Amor and the main villa.
One fresh face ready to shake things up in Casa Amor is Cach, who has already got everyone talking despite having only just stepped foot in the villa. You might even recognise him from a previous dating show...
Cach, whose real name is Cacherel Mirjah Mercer, is one of the boys joining Love Island for Casa Amor alongside Boris, Ty, Jamie, Martin and Chris. Cach lives in East London, and works as a professional dancer.
When it comes to dynamics in the villa, Cach has admitted he isn't afraid to rock the boat - making him a perfect contestant for the ultimate Casa Amor test. 'None of them were together to begin with. No one is boyfriend and girlfriend, they're all saying they're open,' he said, adding he has his eye on Shakira, Billykiss and Emily.
And as for his type, he's admitted it's 'Someone who's emotionally intelligent, beautiful, charismatic, caring, affectionate, and I'd say an intro extrovert.'
From what he's said, it sounds like Cach has his eyes on the prize - but is adamant he will maintain his values throughout the process.
In a pre-show chat with ITV, he confessed: 'I think I'm gonna get into trouble, I feel like I'll be the joker of the group!' adding I'll also be the person people come to for advice... and a bit of eye candy at the same time. People expect me to be a bit of a menace when it comes to dating, but if you get to know me and my values I'm the complete opposite, I'm a modern day Romeo!'
You might recognise Cach from his appearance an another dating show called Are You The One? UK which aired back in 2022 on MTV. He was 20 at the time he appeared on the show, and went by his real name, Cacharel.
The show followed a group of singletons as they are put together in a house to find a match which has been chosen for by science. And there's a £200,000 prize fund up for grabs if they are correctly paired up when the series comes to an end.
Yes! You can keep up to date with all things Cach, including some videos of his dancing, at his handle @cacherel_.

EXCLUSIVE My hair fell out from the stress of my parents' divorce - I stopped going to school because I looked like an alien
Visible difference campaigner Laura opened up about losing her hair to alopecia aged 12, triggered by the stress of her parents' divorce. Speaking on the Mail's The Apple & The Tree podcast, Laura, 33, recounted transforming from a happy, social child into someone who stopped attending school, fearing she 'looked like an alien'. She described her difficult journey to mum Anne, who revealed on the podcast that seeing her daughter's hair loss was 'the last straw' in her marriage to Laura's dad. The Apple & The Tree, hosted by the Reverend Richard Coles, brings together parents and their adult children to explore questions about their shared family history. 'Even as a 12-year-old, I knew we were in chaos', Laura told Anne. 'I felt stressed a lot at home – because of the sudden anger and screaming matches – which made me go into peacekeeper mode. 'Our lives were always loud and shouty, everything felt rushed, and the littlest thing could trigger a big argument, which wasn't fun. The Apple & The Tree , hosted by the Reverend Richard Coles, brings together parents and their adult children to explore questions about their shared family history 'We went to get my hair straightened – ironically, I was trying to make myself look as beautiful as possible. It was the hairdresser that first found a bald patch. 'That feeling of everything being out of my control just spiralled from there.' Laura believes she and her mother both still carry trauma from those difficult teenage years. 'I so clearly remember your face at the hairdressers', she said to her mum. 'You're like me, you can't hide your emotions. You looked terrified. It was as if your face was saying: not this now. 'That created trauma – trauma runs through our relationship. At 12, I was not ready to comprehend the things that were happening at home. 'Loads of people go through the divorce of their parents – why did it make me go bald? Why did I lose every hair on my body in a matter of weeks? 'I started to feel like an alien that couldn't leave the house.' Anne remembered discovering her daughter's alopecia as the breaking point in her marriage. 'It was the last straw for me', she told her daughter. 'When I saw your bald patch – the size of a fifty pence piece – I felt terrified. Completely out of my comfort zone. Laura described her difficult journey to mum Anne, who revealed on the podcast that seeing her daughter's hair loss was 'the last straw' in her marriage to Laura's dad 'I realised then that things truly were out of control at home. It was the last straw for my family life – I didn't know what to think.' Drawing on her experience mentoring teenagers with alopecia, Laura was critical of how her mother handled her diagnosis when she was growing up. She said: 'I see young people now absolutely thriving, even within weeks or months of their alopecia diagnosis. 'I don't think there's a timeline where you accept it – and I remember you clearly saying to me as a teenager: I know you'll have accepted it when you can walk down the street without your wig on. 'I still resent that. There is no right way to manage your confidence and condition. 'You were the adult, and I was the teenager – I needed someone to tell me what to do, and nobody would tell me how to handle it. I think I was really let down. 'I felt like I was in it on my own the whole time. I felt like I was the only young woman in the world that had gone through hair loss – which is bizarre.' Anne was apologetic about how she managed her daughter's hair loss, despite suffering from severe eczema herself. 'I wanted someone to show me what to do because I wasn't able to help you', she admitted. 'We would have been ideal candidates for what we now call family counselling. I hold my hands up, I was clueless. 'All I ever wanted was for that little fifty pence piece to grow back. I have lived with the pain of eczema my entire life – with these things, I thought the best way was to just get on with it.'

Which Tudor royal had the worst first date in history? New Mail podcast details 'the total disaster' of Henry VIII's ill-fated marriage to Anne of Cleves
Finding love and companionship is difficult for everyone, but it becomes even more challenging when the future of nations rests on your shoulders, as a new Mail podcast explores. The latest miniseries of the Queens, Kings and Dastardly Things podcast, hosted by historian Kate Williams and royal biographer Robert Hardman, uncovers the cutthroat world of royal matchmaking. The first episode focuses on serial womaniser Henry VIII, whose pursuit of a male heir led to a trail of broken marriages, severed heads, and shattered alliances. Long before the age of filters, people could still be duped by a particularly flattering portrait – as Henry VIII discovered when he agreed to marry the German princess Anne of Cleves. The Worst First Date in Royal History? Following the tragic death of his third wife, Jane Seymour, in childbirth, Henry VIII was once again in the market for another queen. As the pool of eligible candidates was small - they had to be royal, virginal and Protestant - Henry's advisors assembled a series of portraits of European princesses for the King to peruse like a catalogue. Having been painted by some of the finest artists from the Continent, these portraits could be highly misleading, as Kate Williams explained. 'There could be a disconnect between portraits and reality', the historian told the podcast. 'They may not have had filters in Tudor times, but they had something much more powerful – artistic genius. 'One such artist was Hans Holbein, who produced beautiful images of princesses who were perhaps a little more ordinary. 'It was his skill that led to the most disastrous date in royal history, a real epic fail.' When an advisor presented Henry VIII with a portrait of Anne of Cleves, a Protestant princess from Düsseldorf, he was initially unimpressed by what he saw. Despite the lukewarm reaction, she ticked most of the King's boxes, so Henry instructed Hans Holbein to travel to the princess and paint a new portrait for a proper assessment of her beauty. Holbein returned to Hampton Court Palace with a 'splendid' likeness of Anne, and satisfied, Henry agreed to marry her. Wanting to appear flirtatious and catch a glimpse of his new bride, Henry planned to disguise himself and board Anne's boat, now docked in England. 'Henry's cunning plan would prove a total disaster', Williams said. 'He goes into Anne's bedroom and embraces her. Anne doesn't recognise Henry at all – she thinks he's a servant or a courtier. 'Henry doesn't like this. He thinks he's God's gift to women in every way and expects any woman who sees him to almost faint with surprise and wonder at his brilliance and virility. 'Henry believes his majesty should be obvious to everyone – and the fact Anne mistakes him for a man, not a King, is so injurious to his ego, he can never forgive her. 'On top of this, Henry notices that Anne has a very appealing lady in waiting, a young Catherine Howard. 'Anne is swiftly told that the marriage should be annulled and should not be consummated.' The King would famously describe Anne as a 'Flanders mare' - comparing his new wife to a work horse. In July 1540, a mere nineteen days after Henry's marriage to Anne was annulled, he would wed 19-year-old Catherine Howard. Despite suffering the sting of a King's rejection, what happened to Catherine shows Anne may have dodged a bullet. Catherine would be beheaded two years later, on trumped up charges of adultery and treason.

EXCLUSIVE Aussie makeup artist reveals what really happened in Mel B's bridal suite before she tied the knot with Rory McPhee
Just one of Mel B 's Spice Girls bandmates – Emma Bunton – was able to attend the singer's star-studded third wedding in London last Saturday. Despite their absence, both Mel C and Victoria Beckham sent public well-wishes to Scary Spice, 50, as she tied the knot with celebrity hairstylist Rory McPhee, 37, at the historic St Paul's Cathedral. Victoria Beckham's parents, Jackie and Tony Adams, led a swathe of celebrity arrivals at the 'low-key' wedding, which saw models Cara Delevingne and Daisy Lowe, and comedians Alan Carr, Katherine Ryan and Tom Allen in attendance. Geri Horner, 52, appeared to snub Mel B this week as she remained the only Spice Girl not to publicly acknowledge the nuptials. However, the vibe in the bridal suite was jubilant, Mel B's Australian makeup artist exclusively tells Daily Mail Australia. 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. Sydney celebrity makeup 'veteran' Max May, the man behind the glam of faces like Rita Ora, Lara Worthington and Roxy Jacenko, said the bridal dressing room was 'super calm, with lots of laughs!' on Saturday. Max and his fellow Sydney-based hairstylist Michael Brennan were flown in to work their magic on Mel B's big day. 'I can't speak for her, but what I can say is that Michael and I love working with Mel and put our whole heart and soul into everything we do with her,' he said. Asked whether he was expecting more of the iconic Spice Girls to reunite for the wedding, the stylist diplomatically refused to comment. But he did let slip that Emma was the only Spice Girl he hadn't previously met. 'I sure did chat to Emma!' Max enthused. 'She was actually the last of the group I met — and of course, just as sweet and lovely as I imagined!' Emma, 49, was all smiles as she attended the wedding in her trademark Baby Spice pink, accompanied by her partner, Jade Jones, and son, Beau. Victoria, 51 – who couldn't make the nuptials due to being overseas – shared a photo of the couple and wrote: 'Congratulations @officialmelb @rorymcphee on your special day! 'I couldn't be more excited for you both and wish you a lifetime of happiness! kisses xx.' Honorary Aussie Mel C, who is set to be a judge on The Voice Australia later this year, said she was 'gutted' to miss the ceremony in her tribute post. The 51-year-old was busy performing at the We Love the 90s & 00s Music Festival in Stockholm, Sweden. 'So so happy for you both and beyond gutted I couldn't be there. Excited to celebrate with you really soon! Yippee!' she said. Mel B, 50, cast aside her once wild girl reputation for the lavish ceremony – stunning onlookers by the lack of hard partying and excess – with most of the attendees heading home from The Shard reception by 7pm. Royal-esque glam was the order of the day as the singer tied the knot at the ultra-exclusive St Paul's Cathedral, where King Charles wed Princess Diana. Throughout her career, Mel B has consistently emphasised her working-class roots and, in particular, her upbringing in Leeds. In a thoughtful nod to the working class commute, the singer had her high-profile guests arrive via the London Underground 's boiling hot Central line. Aussie comedian Dave Hughes, who bonded with Mel B during her time on The Masked Singer Australia, posted footage of his tube adventure with wife Holly. 'All class day celebrating an all class couple. A great time had by all,' he wrote. Iconic London landmarks were thematically strong throughout the festivities, and this was also reflected in Mel's makeup. 'With the makeup, we wanted to keep the look as soft, pretty, and natural as possible. Mel loves a flushed cheek, so that's exactly what we did,' Max revealed. 'We used Charlotte Tilbury to create that bronzed, glowing skin — starting with Hollywood Flawless Filter and adding the Sun-Kissed Glow Bronzer to contour her face.' 'For blush, we used Trinny London's Flush Blush in Deep Pink Suede (a cream formula). 'The lips were a combo of MAC's iconic Greige lip liner and their tinted lip gloss in Spite.' Max also met Mel during her time on The Masked Singer in 2022 and 2023, where she worked alongside Hughes, Chrissie Swan, and Abbie Chatfield. 'I've been working with Mel for a few years now across a couple of different TV programs, plus all the publicity shoots that come with them,' he said. 'Michael and I have built a really strong understanding of Mel's look — and I think over time, she's come to really trust us.' Max says he was 'incredibly honoured' to have been at the wedding and 'wouldn't have missed it for the world.' 'I can't thank you enough,' Mel commented on a candid selfie taken with the Sydney duo in the bridal suite. There is more celebrating to come for the happy couple, as they're set to host a second wedding in Morocco, which has been described as 'informal and sexy'.
