Disgusted Love Island fans left feeling ‘sick' after last night's snogging challenge as they scream ‘end it now'
LOVE Island's Casa Amor descended into chaos last night after a raunchy game of Truth or Dare sparked a full-on snog fest. Viewers were horrified by the non-stop 'saliva swapping' in what they called the 'most unhygienic game yet'. 8 8 8 8 8 The Islanders were told to take a dare or tell the truth, but it turned into Islanders locking lips all over the place. Ben was told to snog the two Casa Amor islanders he was most attracted to in a 'three way kiss' and fans called it a 'germ-filled snogathon'. Ben picked Andrada as well as Harry's ex, Emma, for the raunchy moment. The racy kiss comes moments after Andrada chose Ben to help her demonstrate her favourite sex position in front of the whole group. Dejon then dived straight in for a kiss with bombshell Andrada. 'Just mixing saliva omg yuck,' one viewer wrote on X (formerly Twitter). 'This is disgusting – let's END it!!' another said, while many called the game 'a biohazard' and 'genuinely stomach-churning'. Another said: 'So much exchange of saliva from different people, omg,' one wrote. After reuniting with his ex in Casa Amor, Emma was quick to slam his behaviour as "snakey" and "disgusting". During a one-to-one conversation, Harry asked his ex of three year: "Well welcome to the mad house. Are you just... you're looking for some fun? I mean, what are you thinking?" Love Island fans insists Harry's ex Emma needs to win the show as she takes savage swipe at him and Helena Emma explained: "Well I'm here for the same reason as everyone else. I'm here to find someone." He then tried to turn on the flirty banter but Emma quickly shut him down and insisted he "drop the act". He asked her: "Why are you trying to be all wholesome? You little freak." But Emma fired back: "Don't use that language with me. Drop the act. No, drop the act real quick. That chat, you can save that for Helena." Emma then delivered some harsh truths, saying: "But your behaviour Harry..." He interjected and said: "No, I don't need you to come and tell me off." But Emma went on to brand her ex and Helena "two snakes", while saying she thought Shakira was "too good" for him. Emma hit out: "It's disgraceful though… like, how are you still doing the same thing? The way you've been moving with Helena honestly… You two deserve each other, I think you're a great couple... two snakes." Now viewers are desperate for Emma to make it into the main villa and for her to win the whole show. One wrote: "Give Emma the 50k, honestly been here five seconds and already put him in his place." A second said: "Emma, you know what I like you! Talking absolute facts." A third commented: "'You deserve each other, you're a great couple, two snakes', EMMA YOUR WORK WILL BE CELEBRATED." "Emma is my new winner guys. I love her," a fourth said. Another added: "'You two deserve each other, two snakes' oh Emma we will be getting you into the main villa." 8 8 8

Dejon dares Remell to kiss an Islander of his choice and he picks Poppy. Then later in the evening, the pair share a cosy moment where he admits he hasn't felt like this before on the show. In a clip shared on social media ahead of the scene airing, Remell says: "I'm being comfy around you still. It's the first time in, you know, the villa, that I have felt like this so it's telling me something." Smiling, Poppy responds: "Good. I like that." Remell then turns his attention to reflecting on how things are going with him in his current coupling. "Alima, it's been good in terms of where we are now, but getting there it's been a bit shaky,he says. And he concludes: "Cause if it's a me thing then I'm done I'm not gonna lie." The pair then kiss again, leaving his relationship with Alima hanging by a thread. Of course, Remell and Alima's relationship isn't the only one in trouble tonight. Dejon also shares a kiss with Caprice in the steamy game of Truth or Dare. And back in the main villa, Conor and Megan are growing even closer.

I'm not Tommy's girlfriend," she says. And she later confesses to Tommy about the smooch. "It's nothing against you, but I'm here to explore connections..." she insists. "I didn't have to come and tell you this but I do like you, so I am telling you.'

Are meme coins killing crypto?
If I die, I hope you guys turn this into a meme coin.' Shortly after speaking these words, 23-year-old crypto trader Arnold Robert Haro, who had reportedly lost $500 on a crypto scam, started a game of Russian roulette, which was livestreamed on X on 21 February. After repeating his wish to be turned into a meme coin, he took his own life. Within hours of Haro's death, known online as @MistaFuccYou, several meme coins based on his MistaFuccYou alias launched on a cryptocurrency platform. 'The meme coin community is pure evil,' wrote X user @destroynectar, who shared an image of one of the new cryptocurrencies being traded while Haro's live stream was still active on X. These tokens form part of a massive influx of new cryptocurrencies to the market, which analysts are referring to as a 'meme coin frenzy'. Often based on internet jokes, the digital coins hold no inherent value as a currency but can shoot up in price through speculation alone. They can mint millionaires in minutes, but almost always crash to zero, leaving latecomers with heavy losses. There are now tens of thousands of coins being created every day. 'Meme coins are mostly hot air and are notorious for their extreme price fluctuations,' Seamus Rocca, chief executive of Xapo Bank, says. 'These sudden surges and subsequent crashes in meme coin values often trigger a ripple effect of damage across the wider cryptocurrency industry as public trust and perception deteriorate.' It took four years for the first ever meme coin to emerge after the creation of the world's first cryptocurrency, bitcoin. Launched by software engineers Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer in 2013, Dogecoin started as a joke that poked fun at the speculation and hysteria surrounding the crypto space at the time. But the token provided real utility, with the speed of transactions and low fees meaning that some even claimed it could one day be the currency of the internet. (The founders notoriously made no money from the venture, with one of them revealing that he sold his entire stake years ago for a giant jar of Nutella). Dogecoin has since established itself as one of the world's top 10 most valuable cryptocurrencies, with a market cap of around $30bn at the time of writing. In the years following its release, other meme coins trickled into the market, but it took skilled developers who knew the complexities of forking blockchains or building new protocols to produce them. All this has changed with the arrival of platforms that help to create coins, with millions of new tokens now being released every month. With such a massive volume, the vast majority fail to make any impact on the market. The Russian roulette incident is the latest in a string of increasingly elaborate and dangerous stunts that developers are resorting to in order to gain attention and pump the value of their tokens. Last year, a someone user suffered third-degree burns after setting himself on fire as part of a dare to promote his TruthOrDare cryptocurrency. Another sexualised his own mother on a live stream in order to pump his LIVEMOM token to a $835,000 market cap. The trend has drawn in celebrities, influencers and even presidents. Donald Trump, who has promised to make the US the 'crypto capital of the world', launched his own meme coin, along with his wife Melania and son Barron, just days before his inauguration. The $TRUMP, $MELANIA and $BARRON coins generated enormous profits for some – estimates suggest the projects netted them more than $350m – but when the price collapsed, more than 800,000 investors suffered a cumulative $2bn in losses. It has been argued that Trump's involvement, along with other world leaders like Argentina's Javier Milei, has complicated regulation in the space and helped legitimise the phenomenon. Eddy Lazarin, who serves as the chief technology officer at venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz's crypto division, warned that the trend was fundamentally changing how the public, regulators and entrepreneurs view crypto. 'At best, it looks like a risky casino. Or a series of false promises masking a casino,' he says. 'This deeply affects adoption, regulation/laws, and builder behaviour. I see the damage every day.' The vast majority of meme coins exemplify the worst traits of cryptocurrency. They are volatile, confusing, and a haven for gamblers and scammers who prey on the naive and vulnerable. There is hope from some that Haro's death could bring about the death of the meme coin frenzy. 'These events have heightened skepticism toward meme coins,' says Maria Carola, chief executive of StealthEx. 'The golden age of meme coins may be coming to an end as investors grow increasingly cautious, recognising the dangers of investing in highly volatile assets.' One sign that it could be coming to an end is the emergence in recent days of meme coins based on rug pulls – referring to a scenario where crypto creators abandon a token and cash out, leaving investors with worthless tokens. These meme coins have themselves become rug pulls, suggesting that the industry is turning into an ouroboros snake, eating itself. The creator of one of the meme coins that spawned in the wake of Haro's death included one of the most pertinent messages, despite the opportunistic nature of the coin. 'Crypto is becoming a casino, and people are paying the ultimate price,' wrote the creator of the MistaFuccYou (RP) meme coin. 'Crypto should be about real utility and long-term value. Wake up. This has to change. Our deepest condolences to his family.'
