Speaking to Harry Cooksley and Ben Holborough, a tearful Tommy said: 'I can't be bothered. I just want to sit in a quiet corner and do f*** all.'
Taking to social media to comment on the situation, one fan wrote: 'Tommy will leave the villa.'
Another said: 'Got a feeling Tommy is going to do a Jacques [O'Neill] and leave the villa.'
Someone else insisted: 'Tommy will leave I can feel it.'
And a fourth added: 'This will break him.'
Yesterday and insisted he is 'too good for her'.
His friend Doddsy said: "Tommy is too good for her."
Another pal called Arch replied: "You know it.'
And their mate Ethan chimed in: "Far too good geez."
Despite being happily coupled up with Tommy from the start of the series, Megan's head has now been turned by Conor after his attempt at a romance with American Toni Laites fizzled out.
Tommy has been left gutted but, despite branding his love rival "disrespectful", Conor has continued to crack on in his pursuit for Megan.

My Glastonbury food odyssey: 10 of the best dishes – whether you're feeling hungover or healthy

The food choices at Glastonbury can feel overwhelming – a smorgasbord of street food from around the world, which can trigger terrible choice paralysis when you're operating with a hangover, on zero sleep, or both. Fear not. Here are some guaranteed Glastonbury food wins, whether you're looking to stave off the mother of all hangovers or simply on the hunt for something green. South of the Pyramid stage A massaman curry served on brown rice (£14), this is loaded with nutritious ingredients, including greens, kimchi pickles and new potatoes. It's creamy, filling and thoroughly restorative, without leaving you bloated. The buddha bowls are a staple of most Glastonbury food lists for good reason. If you're craving salt, add the fried halloumi. Sprinkle a few chilli flakes for good measure. South of the Acoustic Stage One for the carnivores. Go for the Pitmaster (£17): a hunk of smoked barbecue brisket (cooked on site for more than 16 hours) served with a healthy dollop of pulled pork on a bed of crunchy fries and coleslaw. This is the dish if you decide to splash out and treat yourself. The south side of West Holt If it's your first time at Glastonbury, the Goan fish curry stall is something of a rite of passage (that queue is long for a reason). The go-to curry (there are a couple) consists of flaky white fish cooked in a hot tomato-based curry sauce, served with fluffy white rice (£13). Fans of spicy food will probably find this quite mild; if so, smother it in the zesty green chilli sauce. Fish has never really been in my hangover repertoire, but I've been reliably informed by my colleague, Gwilym Mumford, that the breakfast kedgeree here is a winner. The Reach, opposite the BBC Introducing stage Wings at a festival can feel like a risky strategy, particularly if, like me, you come with a beard. But sometimes they're necessary, and as long as you're happy to ask a friend or stranger to do a post-meal beard check, the much-hyped wings (£10) from the fusion street food company Mexican Seoul are worth queueing and getting dirty for. Dripping in a gochujang-based secret sauce, these are hefty double-fried wings with the crunch to match. It's a hearty portion of five wings, good if you're hungover, drunk, sobering up or simply sticking to your high-protein diet. Opposite the Left Field The Crumble Pots van is a build-your-own-crumble adventure. There are sweet options (apple, rhubarb, banoffee) and savoury (roast dinner, chicken and leek, veg curry). Billy Bragg says he is often distracted by the choices available at Crumble Pots whenever he performs at the Left Field. Crumble might not seem the obvious festival choice – and given the temperatures this year, I can't imagine wanting anything covered in hot custard – but if you keep it simple with an apple filling, cinnamon crumble and soft-scoop ice-cream combo (£7.50), it's surprisingly refreshing. Perfect if, like me, you have a lethal sweet tooth. Opposite the Park stage My colleague Jenny Stevens swears by the nourishing value of the Lebanese Mezze stall. It offers a big choice of hot and cold mezze from which to build your dream plate (or the servers can pick for you if you're feeling overwhelmed). There are different pricing tiers available (I bagged my choice of five for £13) and all your favourites are available, though in hindsight I perhaps leant too heavily into the carbs (including a crisp fatayer, flavourful batata harra and falafel). But if you make better choices than me, this is great when your body is crying out for something nourishing that isn't covered in batter or served with chips. Left of the Other stage The Notso Katsu stall offers delicious vegan fried chick'n dishes. If you need a hearty meal, the katsu curry (£12.50) is the right balance of stodge (rice), gratification (the chick'n), flavour (the Japanese curry sauce) and nutrition (edamame, pickles and seaweed), with a good kick. If fake chicken isn't your thing, you can sub in a pumpkin croquette (and the katsu burger looks banging, too). Between Left Field and West Holts These are hollowed-out bread rolls stuffed with chilli (vegan or steak, with varying spice levels), topped with sour cream and toasted garlic bread (£12). The bread is a sturdy vessel for the steak chilli, which is easily scooped out and shovelled down. This is perfect if you're on the go or need to sober up. The choice of whether to eat this when you have a hangover depends on your spice tolerance. Opposite the Park stage The chilli cheese dosa (£11.50) is a crisp pancake with a spicy masala paneer filling, served with pots of sambar chutney and coconut yoghurt. Great for a quick fiery hit, though it's a tough eat on the go: the pancake doesn't hold together quite as well you think it will, and cocky 'eat and walkers' – of which I am one – may find themselves coming unstuck. The south side of West Holts The surf and turf box (£14) is packed with juicy prawns and chunks of tender chicken. It's a good portion size, all perfectly seasoned, served with cajun-spiced fries and a very saucy coleslaw that keeps everything from getting too dry. I'm in two minds about including this one as I'm definitely going back and I don't want the queue to get any longer.

The 1975 at Glastonbury review – amid the irony, ego and pints of Guinness, this is a world-class band

The 1975's first Glastonbury headlining slot arrives preceded by some intriguing rumours about what's going to happen. Some fairly eye-popping figures are being bandied about regarding the cost of their set's staging – which allegedly vastly outweighs the fee the band are being paid – while one dubious online source insists Healy has shaved his head for the occasion. He hasn't (he appears onstage tonsorially intact), but clearly large sums of money have been spent somewhere along the way. What ensues isn't quite as complex as their last tour, which featured lead singer Matty Healy eating raw steak, doing push ups, climbing through a television and Prince Andrew's face appearing on a bank of television screens accompanied by the strains of Mahler's 5th Symphony. Nevertheless, there are huge video screens everywhere: not just behind the band, but above them and at either side of the stage, and indeed below the actual video screens that Glastonbury traditionally provides. The treadmill that ran across the front of the stage during their 2018 tour – there for Healy to glide around on, something he does with admirable insouciance – makes a reappearance, while, for reasons that aren't entirely clear, the rear half of a car makes an appearance stage right at one point. Healy sings from within it. The screens alternately bathe the stage in white or pink light, show Adam Curtis-esque montages of news footage, flash up lyrics as Healy sings them – a good idea in the case of Part of the Band, a song packed with authentically funny lines. But this being the 1975, never a band to miss the opportunity to make a meta point about being in a band, they also flash up critiques of Healy's lyrics – 'MINDLESS HOLLERING' – and more generally, of the 1975 themselves: 'They're essentially making robotic Huey Lewis tunes' is a particularly cutting judgement on the band's signature synth-heavy, pastel-hued 80s pop-rock-influenced sound. Later, the screens render their lyrics as meaningless gibberish by displaying what it sounds like he's singing – 'oh mah hez smell like chocolate'. And this is done immediately after Healy informs the audience that he's 'the greatest songwriter of my generation … a poet'. 'I was only joking,' he adds later, although his talent as a frontman is less open to question: there's something gripping about the way he switches from straightforward 'Glastonbury-are-you-with-us?' enthusiasm to role-playing as a raddled, tormented pop star, pint in one hand, cigarette in the other. He makes earnest pronouncements about the lasting friendships at the centre of the band and is seemingly astonished at the size of the crowd: 'Oh Jesus,' he mutters as the lights reveal its full extent, 'yeah, it's normal, it's fine'. But then, there'll be arched-eyebrow examinations of his own genius, from posing to dancing with wild enthusiasm. It's a show that's frequently strange and self-deprecating – an intriguingly different approach to the business of headlining the world's biggest music festival – although it runs the risk of the actual music they make getting lost somewhere amid the visual bombardment and commentary. Happily, their set also functions as a reminder that behind all the irony, the 1975 are impressively skilled at the prosaic business of writing songs. If You're Too Shy (Let Me Know) or She's American have pop-facing melodies strong enough to shine through. The one point where the staging seems to overwhelm the show itself is during a lengthy interlude when the band vanish from the stage entirely and the message 'Matty is changing his trousers' flashes on to the screen. It's a very risky move indeed at a festival where there's always something else you could be watching: a minor exodus duly takes place in the audience. But when they return they start rolling out the big hits: It's Not Living (If It's Not With You), Sex, Love It If We Made It's dense parade of millennial angst, the gleaming pop of The Sound. It ends with About You's appropriately epic balladry, and the members of the 1975 embracing each other, apparently genuinely emotional: a straightforward conclusion to a bold, experimental, occasionally confounding, but ultimately hugely impressive performance.

Tasha Ghouri swears by product she's used since before Love Island

We initially fell in love with Tasha Ghouri when she made history as Love Island's first - and currently only - deaf contestant, stealing our hearts all over again in the 2024 season of Strictly Come Dancing. Now, three years since first hitting our screens, Tasha has even bigger dreams of proving that 'disability is beautiful'. The 26-year-old and proud cochlear implant user has often showed her 1.4 million followers exactly that, regularly sharing her go-to makeup looks and skincare picks. And this week, we sat down with the beauty enthusiast to talk about her summer essentials, favourite brands and future career goals as part of our desert island beauty series. For Tasha, the one thing she won't leave the house without is a polished brow (a girl after my own heart) - and to achieve that snatched, freshly-laminated look, she uses the Eyebrow Sculpt from minimalist beauty brand, Refy . 'I always like to have my brows done,' she said. 'That's probably the one beauty product I couldn't live without.' Liz Earle launches huge skincare bundle worth £191 for under £70 but you'll need to be quick Argos knocks 50% off four-seater garden patio set with parasol ahead of heatwave Tasha, who's become known for her effortless, fresh-faced beauty, has long been a fan of the 'clean girl' aesthetic, which is something Refy as a brand embodies. 'I've used Refy since before Love Island,' she explained. 'Their products are super, super clean girl and that's the vibe I really go for. I like a natural kind of glam.' Priced at £18, Refy Brow Sculpt is a wax-gel hybrid that works to sculpt, shape, and set eyebrows for a 12-hour hold. Flake-free with a zero-residue finish, it's sweatproof and waterproof, and was recently reformulated to be even better, infused with nourishing ingredients like Provitamin B5 and Glycerin. Wax-gel hybrid to sculpt, shape, and set eyebrows for a 12-hour hold It's racked up a near-perfect 4.9 star rating from shoppers, based on more than 3,800 reviews, which is a real testament to its adoration. One shopper commented: 'Brow sculpt has been the best product for my brows . I love it. I tell everyone to use it. It's perfect for creating that laminated look and they don't move all day. I'd never use anything else now.' Another added: 'This is my favourite product for my eyebrows, once I style them and brush them they stay like that all day.' However, while the product was reformulated, the applicator remained the same and some users haven't got along with it as well as others, commenting: 'I really like this product. I use it every day, it keeps my eyebrows in place from morning to night. However, I can't get a result I like with the integrated brushes so I use another one.' Refy's Brow Sculpt isn't just useful for taming brows, though. Tasha admits the Refy Brow Sculpt has come in handy for more than one beauty emergency. 'If I have greasy hair, I can just use the glue to slick my hair back.' Hack well and truly noted. Similar products come in the form of Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze Gel, which is £24, and according to Space NK, has sold more than 100 this week alone. Like Refy, it's a hybrid wax-gel formula that lifts and locks the brows in place while increasing volume. For a more affordable alternative, e.l.f. Brow Laminating Gel has more than 16,000 ratings on the Boots website, costs £8 and has been described as 'e.l.f's strongest hold yet for nailing that laminated brow look'. While Refy sits comfortably somewhere in the middle of budget and high end in terms of pricing, Tasha's makeup kit is a real mix of high street heroes, cult favourites and premium beauty. 'I use Refy, L'Oréal Paris, Rimmel, Maybelline, Rare Beauty, Armani - their Eye is incredible - and Charlotte Tilbury. It's a complete mix of different brands. I'm lucky to be in a position where I get gifted beautiful makeup and get to play around with it.' When it comes to her current go-to products, though, Refy tops the list, particularly their cream bronzer. She said: 'My favourite bronzer is the Refy one as well, I use shade tan, especially if I'm a bit more tanned, that's the one I like to use. 'Blushes I use a completely different mix, the Armani blushes are really really nice, a nice cheek tint. I recently discovered Morphe. They have a really nice new triple palette , I just used that on holiday and it added a really nice glow. And then if I want a more subtle blush I like Charlotte Tilbury Pinkgasm .' It's no surprise that Tasha holds Refy close to her heart. She's long admired founder Jess Hunt, both for her brilliant product formulations and her commitment to real inclusivity. 'I've actually been a fan of Jess Hunt from day one, so I followed her for many, many years. She's one influencer I've looked up to who's been in this industry for such a long time. I remember when she launched Refy and thought, 'She's going to nail this.' 'But what was so great about the brand was the diversity. That's what I really love. It wasn't all the same people, everyone was different. I think she used people with disabilities, and I think that's so lovely. Refy knows what their brand stands for and it's about showing your beauty, not hiding it.' But while Refy might be doing it right, Tasha is candid about how much work still needs to be done in the industry. 'There definitely still needs to be more movement,' she said. 'Even on brand trips, I never see anyone with any kind of disability. It's actually really sad. There's a big space in the industry for that, but it's often overlooked or treated as a tick box. True inclusivity means continuing the momentum, not just doing it once.' As a beauty enthusiast and disability advocate, Tasha's dream is to be the face of a makeup brand. 'I'd love to be the face of Charlotte Tilbury one day. Or Refy, I think that would be so lovely as I've used them for so long. I can see myself doing that. Or a skincare brand like Aveeno. Just to show that disability is beautiful because we need to be included so much more. 'There's still such a stigma around what beauty is, that it has this perfect, gorgeous look when everyone is beautiful in their own way. I feel that it still needs to break down those barriers and push beyond that.'
