Malia Arkian lasted just three hours before she was marched out by security in its second year after pushing co-contestant Kady McDermott for spilling wine on her. In 2019, Sherif Lanre was booted off after nine days. He had made a vile joke after accidentally kicking fan fave Molly-Mae Hague in the crotch during a play fight. Ollie Williams left the villa after three days in 2020 when he realised he still had feelings for his ex. But his exit came amid mounting pressure on bosses to remove him after pictures of him allegedly trophy hunting came to light. Salesman Haris Namani was dumped in 2023 after The Sun revealed footage of him in a street brawl. The show has faced complaints over bullying — and failures to look after islanders' mental health when the cameras stop rolling. Sophie Gradon took her own life, aged 32, two years after she appeared on Love Island 2016. And Mike Thalassitis's suicide in 2019, at 26, prompted calls for better after-care by reality shows. After the tragedy, Love Island said it would be offering further support and 'bespoke training' to contestants in future. In 2022, it got 3,600 Ofcom complaints in just one week over alleged misogynistic behaviour by some of the male contestants. And earlier this year, the watchdog received thousands of complaints about All Stars contestant Elma Pazar's 'bullying' of co-star Ekin-Su Culculoglu during an argument. Staffordshire Police said yesterday: 'We were called to a social club on Riverway, Stafford, at 7.40pm on Friday, February 28 following reports that someone had been glassed outside and a fight was taking place. Some of the men involved were wearing masks and were carrying weapons. 'Two men went to hospital after suffering injuries at the scene. Both have since been discharged.

Suspects released A force spokeswoman later confirmed that both suspects had been released with no further action last month. Ashman said last night: 'I fully co-operated with this police investigation and made it very clear that I had no involvement in this incident.

A show source said: 'ITV were entirely unaware of Kyle's past and, as he was not charged, it was not flagged as part of Love Island's stringent DBS checks.

Drag Race UK star shares top tips for the perfect dating profile pic – from no group snaps to switching it up
DRAG Race UK star Kitty Scott-Claus has shared their top tips for the perfect online dating profile pic – flaunt it, strike a pose and avoid group photos. The 33-year-old knows a thing or two about looking their best for the camera - and has seen countless profile pics which don't cut it. Advertisement 4 Drag Race UK star Kitty Scott-Claus has shared their top tips for online dating 4 The star says the best profiles include a range of photos, not just mirror selfies Credit: Ben Stevens/PinPep 4 Kitty Scott-Claus added that it's important to be authentic on your profile Credit: Ben Stevens/PinPep Mirror selfies aren't recommended, instead Kitty claims the best dating profiles bring a range of vibes including smirks, laughs and pouts. And it's important to be authentic, rather than trying to be someone you think people want. But the most important element is to simply ensure that the photos you're using on dating profiles, are current – to avoid awkward moments when meeting in real life. This applies whether you're on the apps looking for Mr Right, or Mr Right Now, according to Kitty's tips, in collaboration with Advertisement Read More on Showbiz The star revealed their top tips after a poll of 500 adults who use online dating platforms found 45 per cent struggle to get the perfect shot of themselves. Kitty Scott-Claus said: "There is quite a bit of pressure to get it right. 'You have even less time to make a first impression on a dating app than you do in real life, so that initial picture is all-important.' The research also found it takes an average of 10 attempted pictures taken before people decide they're happy enough to upload one. Advertisement Most read in Celebrity Breaking Exclusive While 42 per cent admitted they've been actively 'turned off' by a bad online snap , of someone they may otherwise have been interested in. And 41 per cent have been on a date who turned out to look nothing like their profile snap . Danni Menzies opens up about catfish hell that haunts her social media and how they're cashing in on pretending to be her. On average, it takes just 14.6 seconds for daters to decide if they're looking at someone they want to connect with. And while 34 per cent say their biggest online dating pic ick is no face pictures, 32 per cent dislike 'overly sexual' poses. Advertisement While 29 per cent get turned off by obvious use of face filters or heavy editing, according to the OnePoll research. Tristan Pineiro, a spokesperson from Grindr, said: 'In today's digital dating world, your profile picture is often your first impression – so put your best photo forward. 'While it can be tempting to choose an old photo or heavily filtered image, it's far more effective to show the real you. 'People are looking for genuine connections, and that starts with being upfront about who you are, including how you look.' Advertisement Kitty Scott-Claus' top tips for dating snaps Refresh that throwback. If your profile pic's older than your last situationship, it's time to update. That blurry beach snap from 2015? Cute memory but not a vibe for 2025. Make it a moment. Strike a pose that tells a story of who you are, give them something to ask about in the DMs. Snap your pics when you're feeling fab - whether that's fresh from a spin class or living your best life at Mighty Hoopla. Your joy is your glow-up. Confidence is sexy. Embrace every part of you, confidence is sexier than fantasy. Don't try to be someone you think people want; we're here for the most authentic you. Got killer arms? A dazzling smile? Show it off. Modesty is cute, but confidence is the real thirst trap. No group gaggles. We want a date, not a game of Guess Who. This is your moment to shine, solo. Switch it up. One blank stare in five mirror selfies? No ma'am it's not cute. The best dating profiles bring a range of vibes: smirks, laughs, pouts – even serious can look sexy. 4 Kitty Scott-Claus said you should always make sure your dating profile pictures are current - to avoid any awkward moments when you first meet Credit: Ben Stevens/PinPep
