Axed Love Island star breaks silence on brutal dumping and ‘bullying' claims as she reveals secret chats with boy
LOVE Island star Malisha Jordan has broken her silence on claims she was "bullied" while in the villa. Malisha has spoken out after being brutally dumped by bombshell Harrison Solomon, who had to either send her or Toni Laites home. 6 6 6 During her time in the villa, Malisha found herself at the centre of a "bullying" row after clashing with Meg Moore. Meg was furious with Malisha for getting to know her man Dejon Noel-Williams and fans watching at home felt she was being picked on. But in a Q&A with fans now she is out of the show, 24-year-old Malisha has quashed the claims. The teaching assistant, who is already back home in the UK, was asked: "Is there any bad blood between you and Meg?" She replied: "No, but I'll answer all about this on Aftersun on Sunday x." Malisha also dropped the bombshell that she had also been getting to know another boy in the villa. With all the focus on the love triangle between herself, Dejon and Meg, viewers were not shown her chatting with Shea Mannings. She admitted: "Yes I was getting to know Shea too x." Malisha was savagely dumped from Love Island on Wednesday night. Love Island feud breaks out as Meg's savage row with Malisha splits the villa - forcing Alima to step in Her exit came after the arrival of bombshell Harrison, who is a footballer. Harrison took Malisha and Toni on separate dates before being told he had to pick one to take back to the villa. The girl he didn't choose would be sent packing. Harrison chose to take back Toni, who is from America, meaning Malisha was dumped. Fans were so cross by the brutal way she was eliminated from Love Island that they threatened to call Ofcom. Malisha's time in the villa was marred by her fallout with Meg over fitness trainer Dejon. The girls came to blows several times after Malisha insisted on chatting to Dejon despite him being coupled up with Meg. Following her exit, Malisha said: "I don't regret anything, I did what I needed to do as a bombshell. "Sometimes the reactions were a bit uncalled for. "I did go into the first chat with an open mind and I said I don't want to have any arguments. "Then it just got heated. I'm not here for the drama… a lot of it was miscommunication." 6 6 6

Love Island fans slam Shakira for leading Ben on after cruel comment gives away true feelings
LOVE Island fans have slammed Shakira for 'leading Ben on' after her cruel comment gave her true feelings away. Tonight, new bombshell Harrison Solomon made his decision and picked Toni to stay in the villa, sending Malisha home as a result. 6 6 6 6 And since his villa arrival the footballer has been getting to know the ladies, including Shakira, who is coupled up with Ben. Chatting by the firepit, Shakira implied that her conversations with Ben weren't mentally stimulating enough for her. She told Harrison: 'I don't think he's someone I'd go for on the outside world. 'When I speak to him, we get on well. But on a deeper level, I'm not sure.' Harrison interjected to ask the brunette beauty if she and Ben have 'deeper chats.' Shakira replied: 'No, well we've had a few. I like conversations that stimulate me and I'm quite a smart girl, do you know what I mean?' Shakira also said there's a neon light saying trouble above Ben's head. Since their firepit chat, fans have taken to X to say Shakira is 'leading Ben on.' One person penned: 'Shakira hates Ben so bad,' and a second wrote: 'Shakira is definitely leading Ben on.' A third wrote: 'Shakira so why you kissing him and leading him on?' Others have claimed that Shakira has called Ben 'dumb,' as one wrote: 'Shakira basically called Ben dumb.' A second penned: 'No way shakira just called ben thick by saying her conversations with ben aren't stimulating to her brain… please.' Another said: 'Bens not stimulating enough for shakira.' It comes as the first week in the villa wound down, and Maya Jama returned for spin-off show Aftersun, where she grilled Shakira's mum and sister about what she's been up to in the villa. Both didn't think too highly about her current match, Ben, who she coupled up with in the latest ceremony, but her mum couldn't hide her dislike of Harry – who was seen jumping out of bed with Shakira for a night in the Hideaway with air hostess Helena. While some fans believed he did it in order to get one up on Shakira, who had shared a snog with Blu earlier that night in the Hideaway before confessing, her mum was not pleased with Harry's antics. So when Maya asked if she thought Harry and Shakira were a good match, her mum didn't hesitate to say no. "Absolutely not," she declared. "I didn't sleep. I, actually, when she ended up back with Ben, that was the best night's sleep I've had in a few days. I prefer him." But Shakira's sister wasn't so convinced about Ben, having previously told Maya: "I'm not a fan, but I feel like they do match each other's break a bit. "I feel like she likes the chase, and because he was, like, so weird with her at the beginning, she kind of liked it and it roped her in a bit." However, her mum was more warm towards Ben, saying: "There must be potential there for it to be that interested." 6 6

Love Island fans vent their fury over 'savage' dumping after one girl bids farewell to the villa as they plead 'bring her back for Casa Amor!'
A little over a week into Love Island's new series, fans have already been treated to three dumpings. But Wednesday's axe was one that fans found difficult to swallow, as it was revealed that Malisha Jordan had been dumped after a 'savage' off-screen twist. Tuesday's cliffhanger revealed that bombshell Harrison Solomon would choose either Malisha or Toni Laites to couple up with, with the girl left single immediately dumped from the villa. And in the opening minutes of the next episode, viewers saw the moment Harrison headed into the villa with Toni on his arm, meaning Malisha had exited the show, without a chance to even say her goodbyes. Given she had already ruffled feathers by clashing with Meg Moore, some viewers were quick to share their disappointment that Malisha had left the show, with one even calling for her to return during Casa Amor. Posts on X included: 'Malisha was ROBBED, Dejon and Meg you will not see peace till the end of this season. Trust me;' Tuesday's cliffhanger revealed that bombshell Harrison Solomon would choose either Malisha or Toni Laites to couple up with, with the girl left single immediately dumped from the villa 'Producers done p****d me off. They didn't even give Malisha a proper exit. She just vanished;' 'I feel so sad, Malisha;' 'Malisha had SO much potential, what a waste, gutted for her!' 'Malisha getting an off-screen dumping is savage;' 'I hope they bring Malisha back for Casa Amor.' Fans have expressed how they're not impressed with the decision to send in islanders who aren't from the UK, considering the programme now has its own US version as well as one based in Australia. During last night's episode even voiceover host Ian Stirling joked: 'So an American from Vegas flew to Mallorca to meet a Brit living in Miami who came on a British TV show looking for romance.' Viewers have raged: 'Why are they bringing more Americans onto UK Love Island? '; 'Why are these Americans coming on uk love island like, love island USA is right there. We do NOT want Americans on Love Island UK,'; 'I don't like the addition of an American to UK Love Island. Bringing them on UK love island just doesn't make sense to me #LoveIsland.' When asked if she move abroad for love Toni replied: 'I've lived in three different states and I'm still single. It's time to try something new. I have some British friends and they're pretty charming. 'I think all Americans love a good accent. British men are just more polite, with better manners.' When asked if he'd be willing to embark on a long-distance relationship, Harrison told bosses: 'I've done long distance before so it's not really an issue for me. 'I don't know if or when I'm going back to America. But that's not an issue. If you like a person you'll make it work. 'I do really like American girls. Their personality is slightly different, in general they're more confident and go for what they want. But I like a challenge, I like a bit of the chase.' ITV confirmed to the Mail that Toni and Harrison's arrivals were the first of even more 'twists' in the series.
