Furious Love Island row erupts as star tells rival to 'shut the f*** up'
Relationships between Love Island stars became fractured after Harrison decided to go to the Hideaway with another girl just one night after going on a date with his partner Love Island stars have kicked off in another fiery showdown, culminating in one furious Islander screaming at her love rival to "shut the f*** up". The relationship between Harrison and Toni became strained when he stunned the American girl by sneaking off to the Hideaway with another girl just 24 hours after their romantic date. In tonight's (June 27) episode of the ITV dating show, Helena told Harrison that she wasn't feeling a connection with Giorgio and decided to amicably end things with him. After hearing that she had become single, Harrison had a flirty conversation with Helena, which escalated into them sneaking to the Hideaway to have a discussion away from prying eyes. Harrison admitted that he wasn't feeling much chemistry with his partner Toni, complaining: "When we go to bed it's like a peck and roll over to sleep." The pair ended up sharing a passionate kiss on the swing before discussing the possibility of spending the night together in the private room. But when Harrison decided to break the news to his partner Toni, all hell broke loose. She had already been stewing while Helena and Harrison escaped to the Hideaway, calling the girl a "sneak b****". Toni was fuming to hear how quickly Harrison's head had been turned, and went on a tirade about his "f****** weird" behaviour, shouting: "We just went on a f***ing date yesterday and you're already going to the Hideaway with another girl!" She also accused Helena of smirking at her, knowing full well Toni has feelings for Harrison. It was then that Helena snapped back, telling Toni to "shut the f*** up". The incident sent shockwaves through the group, and Shakira decided to step in, telling Helena off for swearing at Toni. She then went on to put Harrison on blast for not being honest about his connection with Helena when he started dating Toni. Meg, Helena, and Remell were all surprised by the confrontation and went on to question why Shakira felt the need to insert herself into the love triangle between Harrison, Helena and Toni. This is just the latest controversy Toni has been involved in, as the American star was recently accused of "bullying" after an explosive row where her and Shakira seemingly teamed up against Emily. During the clash, Toni branded Emily 'Little Miss Sunshine', complaining: "I can't listen to her." Emily was upset to hear this conversation had taken place, and brought it up to the rest of the Islanders. This led to Shakira pulling Emily aside and accusing her of being "bitchy". This sparked Ofcom complaints from viewers who felt that Toni and Shakira were ganging up against Emily for no reason. Fans also took to social media to hit out at the 'mean girl' behaviour, with one writing: "What's with the bullying in this villa????", while another added: "So uncomfy to watch. All the girls just bullying one another, it's disgusting."

Pornhub And Other Sites Will Use Tech For Age-Verification Checks Coming Soon
When the Online Safety Act comes into force in the U.K. on July 25, adult websites will have to introduce age verification and age estimation checks to prevent under-18s from watching pornography. These checks will use different kinds of technology to work. Tougher age-verifications measures are coming to adult websites in the U.K. The British regulator, Ofcom, recently published research which says that 8%, that's one in 12, of eight to 14-year-olds in the U.K. visited a pornography site in one month with 19% of boys aged 13 and 14 (almost one in five) visiting the sites. Around 11% of girls the same age visited pornography sites in one month. So, the new mechanisms to check that you're as old as you say you are will include credit card checks, facial age estimation or open banking technology. If all that sounds rather, well, compromising, 'as part of the new rules, platforms must also ensure age verification measures don't exclude adults from accessing legal content or compromise their privacy,' reports Sky News. Recently, Pornhub withdrew from France rather than apply strict laws there, but it, and 12 other adult sites have confirmed to Ofcom that they will introduce the checks in time for the deadline in July. 'Ofcom has already listed seven methods that porn providers could use. Ultimately, which one they opt for is their decision, not Ofcom's, but their chosen method must be 'highly effective' at correctly determining if a user is under 18. Ofcom's seven suggested strategies are photo-ID matching, facial age estimation, mobile-network operator (MNO) age checks, credit card checks, email-based age estimation, digital identity services and open banking,' the Daily Mail has reported. Open banking accesses the data a bank has on record for a customer regarding their age, and photo-ID matching involves uploading a verified photo-ID document, such as a passport or driving licence. Since you need to be at least 18 years old to have a credit card in the U.K., a credit-card check is also considered highly effective. 'Facial age estimate works by analysing the features of a user's face from a photo to work out their age, while MNO age checks involve mobile-network operators applying age-restriction filters themselves,' the Daily Mail adds. The conundrum is how much users will trust an adult site with images of their face or passport, or whether they will want their bank confirm they are over 18.

Viewers of the ITV2 dating show were left disgusted by 23-year-old Ben Holborough after he laid into his villa partner Yasmin and claimed that none of the guys in the villa fancied her and he never had any intentions of pursuing anything with her. 3 Fans are complaining to Ben Holborough over his Love Island behaviour Credit: Eroteme 3 Ben appeared to get close to Yasmin in bed before ditching her The pair came to blows with Ben brutally going after Yasmin and delivered one shock comment after another. Ben told Yasmin that he had never been interested in pursuing a connection with her and that he had never "rated her". This came just one day after he got very close with her in the bedroom. The couple confirmed they enjoyed kisses during some steamy bedroom action in which Yasmin seductively whispered to him: "You don't get this with a nice girl." Now, fans have been left horrified by Ben's sudden switch and his bedroom antics with Yasmin before claiming he never was into her. Demanding that he be pulled from the villa, one fan said on Reddit: "No problem him not being into her but he basically just used her for whatever needs he needed seeing to that night in the bedroom, so gross and disrespectful." Another agreed as they echoed: "I found Bens behaviour to be very triggering. "Nothing wrong with not being into Yasmin but why did he go in on her and get aggressive. "He's incredibly toxic with his mentality and words. Nobody should be spoken to like this it was completely overreacted." A third went on to write: "Honestly I don't think I've ever heard a man speak worse to a woman on this show!!!" Love Island fans convinced couple secretly had sex after steamy bed scenes at night As a fourth penned: "We all need to complain to ofcom via their online form about Ben. "Call me sensitive but it was really uncomfortable watching Ben speak to Yasmin in that way especially since she did absolutely nothing to deserve that?" Ben sparked outrage on last night's show as he rowed with Yasmin Pettet, 24, and cruelly slammed her. In a brutal put down, he told her: "You're lucky Shea even picked you. To be fair, I think you're lucky you're even in here now to be fair. "No one rated you when you were in here let's say. You've only come out your shell because you're in a couple with me." As she walked away, Ben shouted to the rest of the villa: "Eh, she's made content for the next three weeks lads."
