Love Island's Billykiss unrecognisable in old snaps alongside famous friends
Love Island bombshell Billykiss Azeez looks unrecognisable in old photographs, as her famous friends have been revealed. The Dublin beauty, 28, was turning heads long before she entered the villa as she's been spotted with some of Ireland's biggest stars. Before gracing our small screens, Billykiss had over 100,000 followers between TikTok and Instagram. She has been on the influencer scene in Dublin for years after creating her fashion and beauty Instagram account in 2016. In photos dating back almost 10 years, Bilikis looks unrecognisable as she experimented with her hair and clothes. One snap shows the reality star with a bright red short bob, while she shows off chic grey hair in another. In more recent years, the beauty has been photographed with many Irish celebrities. She posed alongside singer Erica Cody at the listening party for her most recent album and attended an event at The Curragh Racecourse with Virgin Media's Brian Dowling and Arthur Gourounlian from Dancing with the Stars. Last month, she attended influencer Lauren Whelan's jewellery collection launch. The 23-year-old is one of Ireland's biggest internet stars at the moment, with almost two million followers on TikTok. Her other famous influencer friends include Charleen Murphy, Ellie Kelly, Aideen Kate, Chloe Koyce and Keilidh Cashell. The stunner has starred in campaigns, including for Keilidh's makeup brand KASH beauty. And while she may be hoping that her stint on Love Island will boost her profile, the Dubliner has her heart set on finding love. She's hoping Limerick rugby hunk Conor Phillips, 25, will fall for her, as they enjoyed a cheeky date together on her first night. Before entering the villa, Bilikis said she was looking for someone 'tall, who's good looking but not too good looking and that's confident, assertive, knows what they want and is serious about me'. The beauty has been single for 10 years, and is hoping that this unconventional way of finding a man will work for her. However, she is picky, and says it's a red flag when a 'guy has too many female friends', 'or a guy that can't take accountability, listen or communicate". "A green flag is a guy who is a great listener and committed.' The Irish Mirror's Crime Writers Michael O'Toole and Paul Healy are writing a new weekly newsletter called Crime Ireland.

A source told the Daily Mail: "Bilikis and Dami have known each other for years after both growing up in Dublin.

Love Island fans insist they know the 'real reason' Dejon is flirting with new stunning bombshell Bilikis despite being with Meg from day one
Love Island fans claimed they have worked out the 'real reason' Dejon flirted with new bombshell Bilikis during Tuesday night's episode. The stunning new bombshell turned heads as she entered the villa and took Dejon on a date. During their date, Dejon - who has been coupled up with Meg since the start of the show - flirted up a storm with the new arrival. He was even heard asking Bilikis, who also goes by Billykiss, if she would leave Dublin and 'move to London' if they were to be together. However, viewers didn't believe he was being genuine and claimed he has a 'game plan' as they believed Dejon flirted with Bilikis to 'wind up' Meg. Taking to X, they wrote: 'I fear Dejon is just gonna lead Billykiss to wind up Meg atp #LoveIsland #LoveIslandUK'; 'Dejon is unserious, flirting with the whole villa just to drop his wedding vows to Meg'; 'Dejon loves to wind Meg up'; 'Dejon loves leading on bombshells then dropping the 'my meg' line'; 'Why are people still picking dejon?? He's clearly playing the long game #LoveIsland'; 'Dejon has definitely watched Love Island before. He's playing the long game tryna make him & Meg the winners but we don't actually like you!'; 'Billy kiss is actually stunning, but we know Dejon he's going to go back to his Meg. His game plan is always to explore and when it's time for decision, he switches up so I'm not buying whatever that date was selling'; 'I think Dejon is playing a Game'. Viewers were also left outraged as Helena and Harry flirted the second Shakira left the villa for a date. Taking to X, they wrote: 'I fear Dejon is just gonna lead Billykiss to wind up Meg; Dejon loves to wind Meg up; I think Dejon is playing a Game' Shakira headed out of the villa for a date with new boy Ryan leaving Harry and Helena to flirt without prying eyes. Just hours later, Helena then kissed her other love interest Harrison as she dismissed her and Harry's connection as just 'sexual chemistry'. It came just a day after Helena made the very X-rated comment of 'I want to f**k you' to Harry during the Heart Rate Challenge. As they spoke, Harry complimented her on her sexy outfit in the challenge as they spoke about their physical attraction. Shakira had been left fuming at Harry after finding out about Helena's outrageous comment to him earlier in the episode. After speaking to Harry just hours later, Harrison pulled Helena to the terrace for a kiss. Fans were shocked by the scenes as they penned on X: 'Helena kissing Harrison after just saying all that to Harry?? #loveisland #loveislanduk.', 'when you actually think about it, helena moves the way we expect yasmin to when she first came in the villa #LoveIslandUK #LoveIsland.', 'helena is the LEAST girls girl i think we've actually ever seen. the degradation of the women she is around is so actually spiteful.', 'Harry and Helena are just two horny people!' The heart rate challenge sent shockwaves through the villa on Monday night's dramatic episode. It was Helena who was at the centre of the most shocking scene after whispering something wild in ex flame Harry's ear during her dance. As she danced around him in her skimpy underwear she whispered in his ear 'I want to f**k you' in a shocking moment. It came just a few hours after she said to Harrison that he was the only one she was interested in in the villa - causing her to clash with his current partner Toni.

Love Island fans work out ‘real reason' Dejon flirted with bombshell Bilikis as they work out his ‘game plan'
LOVE Island fans say they have worked out the "real reason" Dejon flirted with bombshell Bilikis, claiming he has a "game plan". Tonight viewers watched the stunning new Islander go on a date with Dejon before entering the villa. 6 6 6 During their date, Dejon - who has been coupled up with Meg since the start - flirted up a storm with the beautiful new arrival. He was even heard asking Bilikis , who also goes by Billykiss, if she would leave Dublin and "move to London" if they were to be together. But fans weren't buying it, and didn't think he was being genuine - in fact they even suggested he had a "game plan". The viewer theory that hit social media was that Dejon was flirting with Bilikis to get to Meg. Taking to X/Twitter one fan said: "Fear Dejon is just gonna lead Billykiss to wind up Meg." While another added: "I think Dejon's game plan is to wind up Meg." This one vented: "I hope Dejon isn't using Billykiss to get to Meg." Before going in the villa, Bilikis was asked who she was interested in, and she said: "Dejon and Conor. I'm here to bombshell so you've got to do what you've got to do." When quizzed on what she looks for in a man, she said: "Someone tall who's good looking but not too good looking and that's confident, assertive, knows what they want and is serious about me." Dejon and Meg are one of the most solid couples in the villa, but Meg has shed a fair few tears over semi-pro footballer Dejon. Love Island villa rocked as two hot new bombshells make surprise entrance This included him making moves on bombshell Malisha, before she was dumped from the show. Meanwhile, Sun revealed earlier today that two brand new bombshells would join the show tonight. A source said: 'The Islanders have been crying out for some bombshells with so many of them currently single. 'It's only really Meg and Dejon who are in any way settled which is bonkers at this stage of the game. 'The villa is a bombshells paradise right now and it's everything to play for.' The other bombshell to enter the villa tonight was gym hunk Ryan Bannister. Love Island continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX. 6 6
