LOVE Island stars Ben Holbrough and Andrada Pop have split just days after leaving the villa - as he's spotted all over a Towie star.

But just days after they gushed over each other on Love Island's Aftersun, the pair seem to have already called it a day.
Last night, Ben was spotted putting on a cosy display with Towie star Dani Imbert, 27, at the St Moritz summer party.
They were seen whispering in each other's ear, holding hands and then proceeded to enjoy a string of kisses at Broadwick Soho.
A source said 'There was instant attraction from the moment they met - they spent two hours kissing at the party it was all very intimate.
"It's clearly very much over with Andrada as Dani seemed to be the only thing on his mind."
Days after their exit, the pair appeared on podcast
Ben shared how he's had a "reality check" after fans branded him "vile".
He said: "We had Yasmin, Toni, Shakira - I had my run-ins with them. The thing is, it was all such silly things as well.
"Not using it as an excuse, but feelings and emotions are just so heightened. It's the littlest things that can trigger you."
Love Island's Ben admits he's had a 'reality check' after fans branded him 'vile'
Ben continued: "For me, the way I went about it, I should've went about it so much more differently. The way I spoke, the language and stuff.
"It's not until I watched it back that you realise - obviously with certain situations in life, you have arguments.
"But you never see it back. You're never in a position where you can watch it back and see how you actually were.
"I think me actually watching it back especially, gave me like a real reality check of, 'I don't like how I spoke'."
She added: "We're just taking it day by day and getting to know each other more and more."
Ben entered the ITV2 villa on Day 1, where he was initially coupled up with Shakira.
However, bombshell Toni arrived as the first big twist and "stole" the hunk away.
He would ultimately later recouple with Shakira - and also explored connections with Yasmin and Helena.
By Casa Amor, he and Shakira had recoupled again but had no romantic spark between them.
Upon meeting the new girls, Ben and Andrada soon hit off and began their connection.
They were coupled up in the main villa, before ultimately being dumped from the island after receiving the fewest public votes.

Love Island star reveals 'crazy' link to Liam Gallagher after being dumped from villa

A dumped Love Island favourite has revealed their impressive links to Liam Gallagher and his niece Anais Gallagher after being axed from the villa Former Love Island contestant Tommy Bradley has revealed he once carried out gardening work at the home of Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher. ‌ Tommy, 22, was dumped from the ITV2 dating series alongside Lucy Quinn nearly three weeks ago. Speaking on GK Barry's Saving Grace podcast, the Hertfordshire landscape gardener explained that before joining the show, his work often took him to celebrity properties. ‌ 'When I tell people I do gardening, it doesn't sound as good,' he said. 'But we'd go to footballers' houses and celebrities.' It comes after dumped Love Island star Megan Forte Clarke took a brutal swipe at Harry and Shakira after being axed from the island for a second time. ‌ Asked who the most famous client was, Tommy replied: 'Liam Gallagher. I'm a massive Oasis fan and there was a point when a company I joined used to do his maintenance like cut his grass, cut back hedges, general tidy‑up.' Tommy said his stint with the company coincided with Gallagher temporarily leaving the property. 'I joined that company when he moved out for building work. His house was being renovated and he moved to the Cotswolds,' he explained. 'I was only there for three months, just for the summer, and when I left, he moved back in. I was actually gutted." ‌ Although he did not meet Gallagher during that time, Tommy said he has since had an indirect connection to the famous family. He revealed Noel Gallagher's daughter, Anais, had commented on one of his TikTok posts. 'I was buzzing,' he said. 'I then went on Instagram and saw she follows me, so I followed her back. She sent a video of Noel and Liam on stage and I messaged her like, 'Counting down the days.'' ‌ Tommy said the exchange ended there, but he has plans to see Liam Gallagher perform later this year. 'I'm going in September at Wembley,' he said. 'She asked me what show I'm going to and I told her. She liked the message but that's all it's been left at.' The gardener appeared on the summer 2025 series of Love Island and has became known for his romance with fellow contestant Lucy Quinn before the pair were eliminated. ‌ Since leaving the villa, he has been discussing his life before reality TV and the unusual celebrity encounters he experienced through his gardening work. It comes after Tommy's love interest Lucy finally addressed her viral voicenote following her exit from the Love Island villa. The makeup artist, 21, faced backlash when a message she had sent to a friend before entering the ITV2 reality show as a Bombshell was leaked. ‌ In the 37-second recording, fans heard her plan to couple up with Tommy - who at that point had just finished dating Megan Forte Clarke - as a supposedly guaranteed way to make it to the final, and was grilled by host Maya Jama on the incident during an appearance on Sunday's Aftersun. She explained: "So obviously, like, we probably have all done it, like, sent voice notes to friends and obviously, I really did trust that friend. ‌ "So, with the Tommy situation, I was just saying that he's a very nice boy and, like, that's why I wanted to get to know him." Insisting that she did not intend for the message to come across as a game plan to win, she said: "I did say 'Til the end', but it weren't like, the final, obviously, I was meaning, like, I wanted to be with him in the future. Someone with really good morals and stuff like that. ‌ The Liverpudlian also used her airtime to insist that Tommy is a boy her father approved of, and profusely apologised to Megan, whom she had labelled a "f***king little slapper" but insisted she is not normally the type of person who would say that. She added: "And, also, before going on the show, my dad did say to me, like, 'He's the kind of boy I'd like you to bring home because he's just very respectful. And then, obviously, talking about Meghan as well, I should never have commented on someone who I've never met before. So I do really apologise about that, I'm actually not that type of girl. " Lucy claimed that the whole scandal has "been blown out of proportion" and that she didn't expect everyone to hear the voice note in the first place. In response, Maya told her: "That's definitely not a good friend, I hope you blocked her after that" and Lucy confirmed that she is no longer in contact with the person who leaked the voice note.

JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes paid tribute to each other in posts on social media this week following the news that her ex-partner Kath Ebbs has begun a new romance themself Former Celebrity Big Brother co-stars Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa paid tribute to each other in posts shared this week. It comes after the dancer's ex-partner Kath Ebbs went public with their own new romance just a few days ago. ‌ JoJo, 22, and Chris, 32, grew close whilst on the reality TV show in April. It was later announced that she had dumped her partner Kath, 27, at the afterparty and JoJo has kept fans updated on her relationship with Chris since then. ‌ The couple have given fans insights into their life together in recent months and this week teased that singer JoJo is now officially the former Love Island star's 'girlfriend'. It comes after Helen Skelton and Gethin Jones split as he joins a notorious dating app on a lads' holiday. ‌ JoJo and her partner posted about their relationship yesterday to mark National Girlfriends Day, which is said to be about friendship, but is also considered by some to be a holiday for couples and romantic relationships. Chris shared a photo on Instagram that showed them cosied up together, with him writing in the caption of the post: "This is my GF." Chris shared a series of posts on Snapchat for the occasion too, including him having uploaded several photos of the pair together. Alongside one of the photos, he wrote in a caption: "National GF day so here so is, my universe." ‌ JoJo also celebrated the occasion on social media. Over a photo of Chris cuddled up with her on a sofa, she wrote in a post on Instagram earlier this week: "Happy national girlfriends Day to me." She added: "Lucky lucky girl I am." The posts comes after JoJo's ex-partner Kath went public with their own new relationship on Thursday. They revealed on Instagram that morning that they are now dating Tilly Lucas-Rodd, 29, following their split from JoJo back in April. ‌ Kath looked loved-up with Tilly, who plays in the AFL Women's division of the Australian Football League, in a photo that showed them in a photobooth. It was shared by Kath on the platform alongside a caption about love. Alongside the photo, Kath seemed to take a swipe over their experience dating JoJo. In the caption that accompanied the photo two days ago, they wrote to their followers: "The rumours are true! YES I still (stupidly) believe in love!!" Kath's post has now amassed almost 20,000 likes on the platform and fans shared excitement in the comments section. One person wrote: "Ah yes! Things we love to see!" Another said: "The happy ending you deserve (and we all wanted!)." ‌ The news comes just months after Kath announced that JoJo had dumped them at a Celebrity Big Brother afterparty in April. Kath said: "I flew here and I went to the live show to show up for my partner and support them in their experience and then obviously later on address my feelings of like hurt and work through them like all relationships do." Kath added: "[I] was dumped in the party. I was told that there are confused feelings there - do with that what you will - and that they realised in the house that I wasn't the person that they wanted to spend the foreseeable [with]." ‌ JoJo addressed the situation on This Morning shortly afterwards, saying: "That was not a plan. That was not an intention. That was not supposed to happen like that. Initially I was told that y'know the wrap party was something they didn't want to attend." She added: "Then about an hour into the wrap party they decided they wanted to. And so I was genuinely just gonna have a conversation before and then it just led to another. They straight up asked me if I was happy and I said no. And one thing led to another and that conversation did take place there."

Sainsbury's shoppers rush to pick up new ‘funky' version of beloved chocolate bar – fans say it's ‘absolutely brilliant'

SWEET-TOOTHED Brits are rushing to Sainsbury's to pick up a new version of a classic chocolate bar. The "funky" version recently hit shelves, enticing shoppers with an exciting new twist. 1 A rare version of a KitKat has sent chocolate fans into a frenzy as they rush to try the fun new flavour. The KitKat Chunky Funky is the latest limited edition treat from Nestle. And shoppers can pick up this sweet treat from Sainsbury's for just £1 a bar. The highly-anticipated new snack was shared on the Facebook group New Foods UK. One shopper shared a picture of a four-pack containing snack size versions of the chocolate treat. New twist It adds a fun twist on the original KitKat Chunky, substituting in a cocoa wafer, which is coated in marbled milk and white chocolate. Shoppers shared their excitement over the new release in the comments section. "I already had them, absolutely brilliant," wrote one impressed customer. "Oh I need to get to the shop," said another eager Facebook user. "To quote Andy Pipkin: 'I want that one'," joked a third commenter. We've outdone ourselves with this one' say Cadbury Ireland as they reveal new limited edition bar 'coming soon History of KitKats The classic KitKat Chunky first hit UK shelves in 1999, following the original two and four finger bars. It has solidified itself as a fan favourite, but is also known for its innovative limited edition flavours. Such as the Peanut Butter, White Chocolate, and Orange editions of the bar. Other limited edition versions inlcude the Hazelnut Cream, Coconut, and Brownie. Meanwhile, the original KitKat bar was first established in 1935, in York. How to save money on chocolate We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar. Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs... Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars. Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere. Websites like let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal. Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced. They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged. Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar. So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger. More on new flavours And Nestle previously released two new KitKat flavours in recent weeks. Terry's Chocolate Orange has launched a new flavour but it is only available from one UK supermarket. Plus, two new Cadbury's chocolate bars that have hit UK shelves for first time. And Quality Street has after two years. A rare new Cadbury's chocolate bar has been described as combining two sweet treat favourites.
