However, his new pals opted to save him from dumping so he could give things a proper go.
Later coupling up with Yasmin and then Helena, his time came to an end after two weeks when he still managed not to find someone, and Helena pursued a romance with newcomer Giorgio.

SAS drill ‘Peru Two' coke mule Michaela McCollum in new season of celebrity TV series
McCollum recalls wayward years before she wound up in prison for smuggling And the 31-year-old tells her interrogators on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins that she's finally found love with her twin sons. In a raw interview on the Channel 4 series, in which celebrities are put through an SAS selection course, Michaella breaks down while talking about the public reaction to her drug smuggling conviction and jail term, and her ex-army interrogators speculate that she has PTSD. Michaella and Melissa Reid were stopped in Lima airport and found to have nearly 12kgs of cocaine She served three years in a maximum security prison in Peru after being caught trying to smuggle £1.5 million worth of cocaine to Spain, and says some members of the public continue to castigate her. 'I feel like my life has been defined from my incident in Peru,' she says. 'Some people want me to suffer for ever for the mistake that I've made but I feel like I've paid for that more than enough.' Michaella is one of 14 celebrities taking part in the seventh series of Celebrity SAS including dancer Louie Spence, boxer Conor Benn, former footballer Troy Deeney and Rebecca Loos, who shot to fame over claims of an affair with David Beckham. Interrogation The show doesn't disclose celebrity payments but former British health minister Matt Hancock had to publicly declare his £45,000 fee in 2023, and last year actor John Barrowman was paid £30,000 despite bowing out after 32 minutes. The Celebrity SAS contestants are put through their paces The celebrities are put through gruelling exercises on the series, filmed in north Wales, including a jump into the Irish Sea, a hostage rescue and a hang over a 160ft drop — all in just the first two days. They're also grilled by the former soldiers assessing them when they're hooded and marched to an interrogation room. During her extensive questioning, Michaella tells the ex-military team she's one of ten children raised by a single mother, with an absent father. She spiralled into addiction to ketamine, Subutex and mephedrone at just 16 when she rebelled against the discipline of five older brothers, and at 19 she fled to Ibiza. 'I just wanted out so I got a one-way trip to Ibiza. I thought I can have freedom there,' she says. 'I was only in Ibiza for six weeks and I was partying a lot at the start. I met this group of friends and I was in a party one night taking acid and one of the guys asked me would I go to Barcelona and pick up a package. The Celebrity SAS contestants are put through their paces 'And then I ended up just getting deeper and deeper in this trap. I was passed over to so many different people and taken to all these different locations and then they put me on a flight to Peru in South America and I knew it was wrong and I know I shouldn't have done it, but I just felt so scared. 'If I didn't do it what would they do to me, or would they do anything to my family, and I didn't know how to get out of the situation.' With Melissa Reid from Scotland she was arrested trying to leave Peru smuggling nearly 12 kilos of cocaine, and her life of notoriety began as pictures of the pair in Lima airport were beamed round the world. In December 2013 the drug mules were sentenced to six years and eight months in jail. 'It was a maximum security prison. It was in the middle of the desert. There was male and female, and it was like the worst people, lots of people were on drugs, there was lots of abuse, the conditions were awful,' says Michaella. 'I tried to see to see it as a time where I could learn a new language. I could learn a lot about other people. I could learn a lot about myself.' Close up of Michaella McCollum looking distressed on the show She was freed after three years in prison, granted parole for her work in a beauty salon behind bars. But any hopes of a return to a normal life were dashed and she is emotional describing the reaction to her release. 'In the end I got released and then I came back and it was just like a circus,' says Michaella. Frenzy 'It was a frenzy, and that was really hard, because I knew I had messed up, but constantly being reminded of that and how I'm such an awful person. ' I knew I did something bad but I think the media just made it harder and then I tried to go back to normal but life was not normal any more. I had just turned 24. 'People were continuing with their normal lives but my mind was f***ed up because I had seen stuff you shouldn't normally see.' Michaella and Adam Collard hanging from rope during Hang Tough task Since returning home Michaella has completed a business and marketing degree at Ulster University, written a memoir about her time in jail, done TV and radio interviews, and featured in the BBC documentary High: Confessions of an Ibiza Drug Mule, now on Netflix, for which the corporation declared she wasn't paid. She reveals the arrival of twin sons Raphael and Rio in 2018 was a turning point. She's previously told her Instagram followers she's no longer with their dad. 'I had my boys just under two years after I got released from prison,' says Michaella. 'Having two children at once, alone was quite difficult but I feel like that was like me finding my purpose. I had these two people that taught me how to love, like really love, which I never really experienced in life, but I'm really happy with my boys and the life that we have. 'But now I want to challenge myself and see how capable I am. 'I just need to get rid of the self-doubt and remember that I am capable of doing it because once that voice gets in your head, I just need to get that out,' she says. Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins is on Channel 4 today at 9pm.

Love Island fans figure out when villa divide happened as they reveal exact moment the girls turned on each other
LOVE Island fans think they have figured out exactly when the villa divide came to fruition. Loyal ITV2 viewers took to social media as they revealed the exact moment the girls started to turn on each other. 7 Viewers think they have cracked the code behind the issue of the girl group divide in the villa Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 7 Fans think the feud started all the way back in episode two of the 2025 series Credit: Shutterstock Editorial In recent scenes on the long-running dating show, we saw the departure of Helena Ford and Blu Chegini. Conor Phillips and Megan Forte-Clarke were also dumped from Love Island, just days before the grand finale. This may have signalled the end of the highly-publicised villa divide between the girls. Millions of viewers have watched the likes of Toni Laites and Shakira Khan clash with Helena and Meg Moore. Things got especially heated when Harry Cooksley's head was turned back to Shakira after he made his partnership with Helena 'exclusive'. But one viewer noticed that the divide came about a long time before the infamous Grafties ceremony. On fan forum platform Reddit, one informed fan noticed that the girls were splitting in the villa all the way back in episode two of the 2025 series. A throwback clip posted on the platform, in a thread titled 'Episode 2- the start of the divide'. In the video, Shakira made a new best friend in Toni after her bombshell arrival and the duo gossiped together by the firepit. This was as Alima Gagigo, Sophie Lee, Megan, Helena, and Meg were all sitting together in a separate part of the villa. Watch as girls go head-to-head in furious Love Island clash and vow NEVER to speak outside the villa Shakira told the Las Vegas cabana server that she felt like she was judged from the rest of the girls for chatting with so many of the boys so early on. She remarked: "I'm not joking, getting ready then the vibes felt so off. "So it's not enough to like pick up on and say something about because it's nothing that is being said, but it's the energy. Toni replied: "You know everyone is interested in you." Then Shakira stated: "I've been grafting, but I feel like the girls don't appreciate that. "But equally what's stopping them from doing the same thing? We've all been here [only] a day. She added: "Like, I think I have a right to get to know everybody." Meanwhile in the separate sofa area, Meg remarked: "The problem is, thinking of what Maya said last night, I think it is in Shakira's court. It's not enough to like pick up on and say something about because it's nothing that is being said, but it's the energy Skaira Khan "That's why she's been grafting her f****** a*** off today." To which Helena sarcastically responded: "I think she fancies everyone doesn't she?" She jokingly added: "She probably fancies the plants!" Captioning the preview, the fan wrote: "Is this when the 'bullying' started? LOVE ISLAND 2025 - ALL the dumped stars so far LOVE Island 2025 is in its penultimate week. Here are all the dumped Islanders so far ... Sophie Lee Blu Chegini (has since returned) Malisha Jordan Will Means Shea Mannings Poppy Harrison Caprice Alexandra Megan Clarke (has since returned) Remell Mullins Ryan Bannister Alima Gagigo Martin Enitan Chris Middleton Yas Broom Rheo Parnel Giorgio Russo Emily Moran Andrada Pop Ben Holbrough Tommy Bradley Lucy Quinn Lauren Wood Harrison Solomon (quit) Emma Munro Boris Vidovic Billykiss Azeez Blu Chegini (dumped again) Helena Ford Megan Clarke (dumped again) Conor Phillips "This was only episode two and watch how they treat Shakira." In the captions below, fans seemed to concur that this was the moment the villa divide started. One fan posted: "Yep the twist of Shakira being single and having to graft the boys to stay def started the divide." While a second added: "I'm no Shakira-Harry fan, but as a guy, it always came across to me that jealousy was a primary motivator in those in the villa that disliked her." 7 As the girls all sat together, Shakira and Toni chatted by the fire pit Credit: ITV2 7 Shakira said the vibe between all the girls was 'off' Credit: ITV2 7 Helena made a cutting remark about Shakira in the second episode Credit: ITV2 7 Megan Forte Clarke giggled away as Helena and Meg both gave their opinions Credit: ITV2 7 Toni seemed to pick up on the energy after Shakira made her remarks Credit: Shutterstock Editorial Love Island continues on ITV2 and is available to stream on ITVX.

CGD agents breaks silence on ‘romance' with Olivia Hawkins and Louis Russell after stars spotted kissing on away trip
THE CELEBS Go Dating agents have broken their silence on Olivia Hawkins and Louis Russell breaking the reality show's rules. Love Island star Olivia, 30, and Too Hot To Handle's Louis, 24, hit it off after landing in Ibiza to film the E4 show and were spotted snogging poolside. 5 Celebs Go Dating's Olivia Hawkins and Louis Russell broke show rules Credit: ©Nic Serpell-Rand 2024 5 Olivia and Louis naturally gravitated towards each other after the first mixer Credit: ©Nic Serpell-Rand 2024 5 Paul C. Brunson admitted Olivia's biggest dating dilemma was her 'self worth' Credit: Nic Serpell-Rand / Channel 4 In an exclusive interview, love gurus Anna Williamson, Paul C. Brunson and Dr Tara revealed what really happened between Olivia and Louis when The Sun visited the Celebs Go Dating agency ahead of the new series. Anna said: "I mean celebrity on celebrity, every series there's always a few cross eyes, aren't there?" As it stands, it is very much a dot dot dot." The agents admitted Olivia and Louis naturally gravitated towards each other after the first mixer. "Every time we're in a big mixer, it's always interesting to see how the celebrities start to bond and it's always interesting that this is a show which is very exposing - they come in and they're full of nerves naturally and what happens when that happens? You tend to gravitate to people that are in your proximity, so it's not unusual of course, I think celebs like to stick together," Anna revealed. "Sometimes we see looks here and there, but whether they turn into anything... is really time will tell." In the past, hook-ups between co-stars were frowned upon, but now the experts embrace it if there's a chance it can lead to a genuine connection. Anna continued: "This is real life as well, it's something we don't necessarily advocate but then again it's real life and the celebrities know that if there's a genuine attraction - if it's just a safety, we'll notice it and call it out. "But we'll always observe from the sidelines and if anything feels like it needs jumping in on, then we will." While Paul agreed and said there is a deeper psychology behind why celebrities form romantic connections on the show. Paul shared: "I think an important note on this, is that we typically do what we feel is safe and low risk but it's not always the best thing for us. Inside the Celebs Go Dating house with Anna Williamson and Dr. Tara ahead of the new series "You'll see that celebrities have this repetition of doing what is safe and that is ending up matching or thinking they are going to match together, because it is very safe, of course you're going to see it. "They're two very compelling people individually. Sex and relationship expert Dr Tara insisted the point of the show is to encourage the celebrities to step outside their comfort zone. She said: "It's Celebrity Dating Agency, not Celebrity Dating each other agency, so we always try to encourage them to explore and expand and learn new things and learn about new people and not just stay within a comfort zone, we give them a big push to try new things." Olivia, who appeared on Love Island in 2023, before returning for the All Stars series in 2025, was unlucky-in-love both times. The brunette beauty said fellas never ask her out after she was first painted as a troublemaker in the villa. In fact, the beauty, who has been an actress and a ring girl, claims she has never had a proper 'boyfriend', in a recent interview with The Sun. Paul admitted the Liv's biggest dating dilemma was her "self worth". He said they welcomed every celebrity to the agency with a "clean slate", despite public perceptions. Paul said: "I think there's an assumption that we identify with the publics perception of the celebrity. "I think it's an important point to note, that typically we're unaware of that public perception and we try to give everyone a clean slate, whether we're familiar with them or not. "The idea is that you come in and you start fresh with us. That allows us to prejudge or place inappropriate values in certain areas. "Liv is that exact person, she came in clean slate." Olivia and Louis had swapped flirty messages on social media ahead of the trip and later were seen kissing by a pool, with an insider said the sexual chemistry was very obvious. LOUIS NEW GIRL Despite hopes of a romance between Louis and Olivia, just days ago he stepped out with his famous new girlfriend. Louis posed on the red carpet holding hands with Love Island US star Huda Mustafa as they attended a film premiere in Los Angeles. Only a few days ago, the pair were spotted in London together just days after the Love Island US star left the villa. Huda made waves during this years Love Island USA when she revealed to the cast she was a mum and became one of the shows most followed islanders. The new series kicks off on August 11th at 9pm and it will include TV personality Kerry Katona, Love Island's Olivia Hawkins, comedian and CBB star Donna Preston, and Too Hot To Handle's Louis Russell giving it their best shot at the dating agency. And things between Louis and Olivia quickly get steamy. A show insider revealed: 'It usually takes a few weeks for things to spice up but not with these two. 'Within 48 hours of arriving in Ibiza the sexual spark between them was obvious. "They clearly couldn't resist each other.'
