Love Island fans reveal ‘clues' that ‘prove' one Islander is being protected by producers from being dumped
LOVE Island fans claim they've spotted 'clues' that 'prove' producers are trying to keep a villa beauty on the show. Last night, original villa girl 3 Love Island fans believe on girl is being spared from dumpings Credit: Eroteme 3 Toni arrived as an early bombshell Credit: Eroteme Though there's no evidence of any producer meddling, one armchair sleuth took to Reddit last night to share their theory with other viewers. They outlined five points which they felt backed up their viewpoint. The first of which focused on Harrison's arrival and his opening dates with Malisha and Toni. Footballer Harrison is based in Miami , while Toni works in Vegas, and the viewer felt the US link gave her an unfair advantage when she was ultimately picked to partner him. READ MORE ON LOVE ISLAND Next , they highlighted Thirdly, they pointed out a change to the dumping process after the public voted for their least favourite Islanders. They wrote: "We know Love Island loves making the islanders decide the bottom 3 and if they did Toni would likely have been dumped, instead they go by straight votes and Megan is dumped despite having a strong connection in there." The fan alluded to more 'meddling' in their fourth point, claiming that by choosing Ben to go first in Sunday's recoupling it prevented Harrison from picking Helena and leaving Toni single and at risk. Most read in Love Island Finally, they flagged last night's dumping and the fact Islanders weren't given the chance to stand up for the remaining singletons, which would likely have seen Ben couple with Alima, potentially leading to a reshuffle that would've put Toni at risk. Last night's scenes played out with newbies Ryan and Billykiss being told to stand in front of their co-stars Two dumped Love Islanders revealed as villa stars break down in tears over shock exit The boys were told to stand up if they'd like to recouple with Billykiss. Conor stood up and said their date went really well and he'd be doing himself a disservice to not explore their connection. Alima, left uncoupled, then took Billykiss's place at the front. The girls then had to stand up if they'd like to recouple with new bombshell Ryan, but none did so. Due to them both being single, Other fans bought into the theory. One said: "honestly i can't argue with this even though i like toni." Another wrote: "I wholeheartedly agree. I am sure Toni is a nice girl, but it's becoming very exhausting."

I was homeless for 3 years & now live in a shed – people expect it to be full of spiders but I have plumbing & electrics
A MAN has revealed that he was homeless for three years, but is now living in a shed. Matt, a 34-year-old welder, has managed to get himself off the streets and now sleeps in a tiny home in the middle of the 2 A man has candidly revealed that he was once homeless, but is now living in a shed in the middle of the woods Credit: tiktok/@mattg326 2 The 34-year-old gave his followers a tour of his tiny home, but his viral clip has left many "sad" Credit: tiktok/@mattg326 Not only did he build the In fact, Matt's home has proper plumbing and electrics. And while he may not have an oven, he does have a shower and toilet. Posting on social media, the content creator gave his followers a close-up look inside his one-bedroom shed, as he wrote: 'People see the outside and assume it's rough in here - here's what surprises them.' Read more real life stories Giving a tour of his Not only this, but he's also got a composting toilet with a fan-powered vent system. Additionally, Matt's shed is home to a full In the Most read in Fabulous The home even has full insulation too. Keen to set the record straight on his shed home, Matt explained: 'People think I'm roasting in here but it stays cool.' I was sick of paying rent so moved into a shed at the bottom of my garden Not only this, but he then continued: 'People expect this to be a shed with tools and spiders…It's actually my peaceful home.' The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ It's a nice setup but the fact that people accept this as normal now is scary. Successful and competent people live in homes, not sheds TikTok user Not only this, but it's also amassed 45,900 likes, 546 comments and 2,324 saves. But while many social media users described the tiny home as 'cute and cosy', others were 'sad' that a shed is all many can afford in the current economy. One person said: 'That is the future for all of us. A shed is about all we can afford these days.' Do I need planning permission to convert my shed? CONVERTING an existing shed or outbuilding into a self-contained living space will usually require you apply for planning permission. However, there is a "loophole" Brits can use to convert outbuildings into a tiny home without permission. Planning expert Speaking to The Sun, the Chartered Town Planner of 14 years' experience explained: "An outbuilding can be built using 'permitted development rights', meaning it does not need planning permission. "As long as you comply with the various restrictions and conditions." One of these is that the outbuilding can only be used for something 'ancillary' to your main living accommodation - examples include storage, a gym or a pool room. If the outbuilding is existing, converting it then into primary living accommodation IS allowed. Martin explained: "This is because internal changes to an existing building are not considered to be development at all under the Town and Country Planning Act. But like anything, there is one catch. The new living accommodation must still have some connection with your use of the main house. For instance, if your gran is living out there, she must still come into the house to eat. Another added: 'It's a nice setup but the fact that people accept this as normal now is scary. Successful and competent people live in homes, not sheds.' A third commented: 'That's super cool, sad we all have to result to this!' Despite this, someone else chimed in and claimed: 'Better than some people's houses.' But at the same time, one user questioned: 'No oven?' In response, Matt replied and confirmed: 'Working towards a small table top oven.'
