Love Island icon's bombshell revelations about one finalist - 'Walking red flag of a man'
Montana Brown has dropped some very juicy information about Harry - moments before this year's Love Island final airs and the winners are crowned Love Island legend Montana Brown has 'spilled the tea' on this year's contestant Harry Cooksley moments before tonight's final airs on ITV. The 29-year-old took to TikTok to tell her 581,000 followers some very juicy info on the villa lothario, who is currently coupled up with Shakira Khan. Dishing the dirt on the 30-year-old footballer, the mum-of-two has claimed Harry was actually dating one of her friends right before he went on the dating show. Urging fans not to vote for the 'walking red flag of a man', she said on a video: "Guys, I've not been involved in the whole Love Island chat. But I know tonight is the final - so this is the tea, right. "Harry was literally seeing someone that I knew, one of my good friends, right before he went on Love Island. He wrote her a letter and said, 'Oh my gosh. I know you're going to be really surprised at this, but I still love you and, you know, we're going to be together. And I just need to sort my head out.' You know, all of this crap." Getting more worked up, Montana continued: "And now, I'm like, this guy cannot win! Although, I love Shakira. From what I've seen of her, she's incredible. "So I think we just have to think about - let's save Shakira and not let them win. Because he will just grab the money and run from what we know about him. So that's the tea from me." Revealing the excuse Harry gave her friend instead of being honest about going on Love Island, Montana added: "Also, he told my friend he was going to Bali. Need I say more?!" However, some fans questioned the timing of the video - and wished Montana had said something sooner. One commented: "Montana the vote opened yesterday - it's too late for this info!" Another wrote: "Too late, I already voted for Shakira!" A third asked: "Why is Montana only saying this now on the night of the final? She could have said it two months ago..." A fourth asked: "Didn't he write a letter to his ex Emma stating something similar before going on? She said she thought he meant he was going to rehab." A fifth jokingly asked: "How many love letters is this man going to write?" While a sixth posted: "This information needs to reach Shakira's mum." But others were still 'team Harry', with one Love Island fan saying: "Harry has made this season, he's an inspiration, he has to win." Another wrote: "Harry for the win!" A third observed: "I don't get all these stunning girls going for Harry lol, although past week he's kinda won me over a bit." Love Island's finale, which airs from 9pm tonight, looks set to be a belter. After weeks of drama under the Spanish sun, the four final couples will be treated to one last date before finding out who will be declared the winners - and waltz off with the £50,000 prize money. Host Maya Jama will be in charge of proceedings as Harry and Shakira battle it out against Yasmin Pettet and Jamie Rhodes, Angel Swift and Toni Laites and Cach Mercer to be crowned the 2025 winners. Harry and Shakira are currently favourites to win, according to bookies. This may surprise some viewers, especially as they are one of the newer couples to snuggle up after weeks of exploring other connections. But will people still vote for him after Montana's 'spill the tea' video...

La Quinta hotels condemned over new check-in method
A South Florida hotel is under fire after a guest filmed himself interacting at a virtual check-in station with an employee who appeared to be based overseas. The bizarre encounter occurred at the La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Sunrise in Sunrise, Florida, outside Fort Lauderdale, where the male guest found himself checking in to his room via video screen. He shared a short clip on TikTok of his exchange with the smiling receptionist, who is heard speaking with a thick South Asian accent. In a follow-up video, the guest filmed himself checking out and confronting the the same remote worker about the arrangement. After the virtual receptionist asked about his stay, the guest replied: 'It was all good, but I'm not happy - you took my job.' The employee responded awkwardly, saying: 'There are some things we cannot do - we did not take your job.' A spokesperson for La Quinta Inn, which is owned by Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, would not confirm or deny to the Daily Mail whether the receptionist was based overseas. 'We are aware of this matter and are actively investigating,' the spokesperson said. 'All La Quinta hotels are independently owned and operated under franchise agreements and required to have a team member at the front desk at all times.' Video of the guest's experience quickly went viral, with critics slamming the hotel over its methods. 'Outsourcing front desk agent is WILD,' one viewer commented. 'This is getting wayyy out of hand. This is 100 percent absurd,' another wrote. 'Florida says they're pro-American but outsourcing everything,' a third pointed out. 'At least it's still a human. Wait till you hear: 'Hi, I'm Sam, your friendly neighborhood AI chatbot,' one person commented. 'I think we can all agree that speaking to an upbeat Indian man ready to provide tech support is more pleasant than a rude woman at the front desk,' another wrote. 'They are in a different time zone. Maybe it's hard to find workers willing to do graveyard shifts? Not saying this is ok, just trying to decipher the "why,"' a third added.
