Amber Gill has (understandably) been a bit down recently, what with the whole Greg O’Shea split.

But the 22-year-old looked like she was casting her heartache aside in the best way – by partying with a hot Hollywood stuntman of course.

The Love Island winner was spotted leaving Mahiki club in London with stuntman Doren John, in photos obtained by The Sun.

Amber – who was recently linked to Hollyoaks actor Malique Thompson-Dwyer – looked like she was having a whale of a time as she chatted away with Doren.

At one point, she even appeared to sneak up behind the 28-year-old in what we can only hope was an attempt to scare him.

And listen, if you’re going to be pictured partying into the early hours, we guess it helps if your companion looks like Doren (by which we mean he’s fit).

Who needs Irish rugby players when you could have a stuntman who’s been in films like Star Wars and The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard?

Amber caught up with Doren after a night of partying with her Love Island pals to celebrate Maura Higgins collection with Boohoo.

Francesca Allen shared videos of the group partying, claiming Doren is the ‘coolest person’ she knows – however a source claimed to the Mirror that Amber and Doren are just mates and met through Fran.

Amber and Greg were given the dubious honour of being the fastest Love Island winning couple to break up after the villa when they parted ways.

Greg explained that the long distance between them – he is based in Ireland, while Amber is in Newcastle – and their careers made it difficult for the pair’s romance to work.

Amber, though, was quick to call her ex out, pointing out that they always knew they were going to have to contend with work and living apart.

She claimed Greg did call things off over text and that she’s disappointed he didn’t try harder to make it work.

‘I don’t know what changed. I kind of wanted to make it work, but it is what it is really,’ she said on Loose Women. ‘I am disappointed that it’s over, but I’m booked and I’m busy. I’ll be fine.’

Love Island’s Lucie Donlan broke our hearts as she revealed none of the other stars speak to Molly-Mae Hague that much since leaving the villa.

The pair didn’t have the easiest time of it while in Majorca together, what with the surfer declaring her love for Tommy Fury, while he was in a relationship with the 20-year-old.

Seriously awkward.

However, it has now been claimed the 21-year-old is actually ‘jealous’ of the influencer – and her £500,000 PrettyLittleThing deal.

An insider reportedly told MailOnline that Lucie is envious of Molly-Mae’s recent success, and has been making digs at her since they left the villa.

She previously addressed the feud rumours herself, claiming none of the other Islanders are in contact with the Instagram star.

‘No one really speaks to her. A lot of people are doing their own thing. I guess they’re concentrating on their future and stuff which is really good and it’s nice to see them doing really well,’ she told The Sun.

‘I guess it’s such a shame we don’t keep in touch as much as we all should.

‘It would be nice to get everyone together and hang out and stuff. But I think everyone’s doing their own thing so that’s probably why we haven’t heard from many people.’

Lucie sparked feud rumours as she left Molly-Mae off the guestlist for her party to celebrate the £200,000 deal she penned with Peng hair last month.

While a string of familiar faces popped down to the bash – including Anton Danyluk, Belle Hassan and Francesca Allen – the Love Island runner—up was nowhere to be seen.

And she was later snubbed from Molly-Mae’s own launch for her PrettyLittleThing collection, in Manchester, the following week.

So. Much. Drama.

Maura Higgins also left us distraught as she revealed the Love Island WhatsApp group is basically dead.

Yes, seriously.

It has only been a few weeks since the gang returned to the UK, but apparently the meme action has totally dried up.

Speaking exclusively to Metro.co.uk about the infamous chat, she told us: ‘Hmmm, I think there is one…

‘I don’t usually tend to use groups much, so I’m actually unsure about that.

‘I know there was one, there probably still is….’

It is what it is…

Metro.co.uk has contacted reps for Lucie for a comment.

Love Island’s Maura Higgins and Curtis Pritchard have jetted off for a romantic break, after a tough few weeks.

Following the 28-year-old’s party to celebrate her Boohoo collaboration, the couple jetted away to spend some quality time together.

Taking to Instagram, the ring girl shared a selfie of herself and her dancer beau, 23, surrounded by lush green fields.

It’s alright for some.

‘Break away,’ she simply captioned the snap for her 2.4million followers, alongside a loved-up emoji.

Murtis (or Caura?) have spent a lot of time apart since leaving the villa, with Curtis filming for The Greatest Dancer, while Maura has been around the country working.

But they proved they’re still as loved-up as ever, so we can all calm down now.

Maura was recently forced to defend herself over claims she had been ‘all over’ co-star Greg O’Shea on a wild night out in Ireland.

The pair appeared on The Late Late Show last week, hours after the rugby player split from Amber Gill.

But it was claimed the pair got very close as they partied together after the show, with fellow Islanders branding them ‘cruel and distasteful’.

An insider told The Sun: ‘Amber and Greg had only broken up a few hours ago, so everyone thought it was pretty distasteful and cruel of them – they were all over each other.

‘The girls aren’t that surprised as it’s nothing she didn’t do in the villa but they are all saying Maura broke the girl code and has shown her true colours by partying with Greg.

‘Poor Amber was sat at home in tears while Maura was out on the town with him – and all over him.’

However, Maura was having none of it, and hit out at the ‘ridiculous’ claims.

Speaking exclusively to Metro.co.uk, she told us: ‘Do you know what? It’s 2019 right? If I was stood there besides a girl, nothing was going to be said about it.

‘If I’m stood beside any man, I’m going to be accused of flirting. It’s absolutely ridiculous, come on!

‘He’s a friend and I don’t really care what people say.

‘I’ve always got on with lads, I’ve hung around with lads more than girls.

‘Just because I’m photographed besides a boy, doesn’t mean I’m flirting with them. Come on!’

So that’s that, then.

Love Island’s Belle Hassan has claimed her ex-boyfriend Anton Danyluk ‘forgot about her’ after the pair’s split.

Despite the couple seeming like one of the strongest couples in the latest series of the show and insisting they would make the long-distance relationship work, rumours started circulating earlier this month that the pair had split.

After the break-up, Belle has now said that the Scotsman ‘got caught up with everything, like fame and going out.’

‘He wanted to party, party, party and I think he just forgot about me a little bit. That’s fine, I understand that,’ she told The Sun Online.

Revealing she finds it difficult seeing him being mobbed by groups of girls as he takes on nightclub appearances, Belle added: ‘It’s hard because he’s going to all these clubs where girls are screaming “I love you” at him.’

However, there doesn’t seem to be any bad blood between the pair, as she revealed that they actually still talk every day – and isn’t ruling out a reunion, as she explained that they will consider how they feel in a few months’ time.

Turns out love isn’t actually dead.

Rumours of the split started circulating when Belle shared a cryptic snap on Instagram, which read: ‘Know your worth. Know the difference between what you’re getting and what you deserve.’

It was later claimed that the two were ‘never in a real relationship.’

A source told The Mirror: ‘They were dating, they never made it into an official relationship and Anton was always respectful of taking things slowly.

‘He was always up front about this because he didn’t want to jump into a relationship without taking some time to date her, which they’ve done.’

Nevertheless, fellow islander Lucie Donlan admitted she was ‘surprised to hear about the split.’

‘[Belle’s] quite down about it, bless her. She really did like him,’ the surfer said.

She added: ‘I don’t think either of them have had a long term relationship, so I think both of them found it hard.’

Reps for Anton declined to comment when contacted by Metro.co.uk.

Curtis Pritchard would be keen on joining brother AJ on Strictly Come Dancing, and we need to make this happen.

The 23-year-old – who became a household name thanks to his stint in the Love Island villa – previously competed on Dancing With The Stars.

And he has thrown his hat into the ring for the Glitterball trophy.

Speaking exclusively to Metro.co.uk at partner Maura Higgins’ Boohoo launch, he told us: ‘If it came up then, depending on the time, perhaps I wouldn’t say no to it.

‘You know, dancing is something I love to do. It’s not a little hobby, it’s in my blood. My dad was a dancer, my brother is, I am. We’ve all done it so much and I wouldn’t say no to it.

‘Perhaps if the opportunity came at the right time, [then] yes.’

Someone get BBC on the phone ASAP.

Curtis and AJ are set to embark on their own dance tour next year – following his turn on the Greatest Dancer – so we’ll be able to see them both busting out some moves pretty soon.

But the ITV2 star admitted the pair are ‘very competitive’ with each other, which could add another layer to Strictly Come Dancing…

‘The fact that I’m working with my brother now, I’m going on tour with him next year, it’s a dream come true,’ he continued.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B14SlXFngcn/

‘We are rivals in our dancing, and we are very, very competitive against each other.

‘But we always have each other’s back, we’ll always protect each other, and we do love each other.

‘Both of our dreams has been to create a career together, and work together in the future, and that’s happening now which is incredible.’

However, he is adamant that – if he ever ended up on the show with Maura – they would absolutely not be paired with each other.

And we’re absolutely heartbroken.

‘If I was in a parallel universe, let’s say I am a professional on a TV programme, and Maura was the celebrity, for me to dance with her on that would be incredible,’ he added.

‘It truly would.

‘[But] the height difference? I don’t think we would end up getting partnered together…’

And, just like that, all our dreams have been crushed.

Strictly Come Dancing kicks off on 21 September, on BBC One.

Love Island’s Maura Higgins looked carefree as she stepped out in London with Curtis Pritchard after being accused of flirting with Greg O’Shea.

The raunchy former Islander, 28, showed off her fierceness in an all-black ensemble after putting the flirting rumours to bed.

Maura was recently forced to defend herself over claims she had been ‘all over’ co-star Greg on a wild night out in Ireland.

The pair appeared on The Late Late Show last week, hours after the rugby player split from Amber Gill.

But it was claimed the pair got very close as they partied together after the show, with fellow Islanders branding them ‘cruel and distasteful’.

However, Maura took to The Sun to deny the ridiculous claims.

She said: ‘It’s 2019. Just because I’m photographed doesn’t mean I’m flirting or sleeping with him.

‘It’s a bit ridiculous. I’m with Curtis, as everyone knows, and Greg is a friend.’

Maura arrived at Luxx Nightclub last night looking smitten with her beau, 23,  after just returning from a romantic getaway together.

Curtis, on the other hand, went for a slightly more casual look with an untucked white shirt and a few top buttons undone.

Following the star’s party to celebrate her Boohoo collaboration, the couple jetted away to spend some quality time together.

Taking to Instagram, the ring girl shared a selfie with Curtis surrounded by green fields.

It’s alright for some.

‘Break away,’ she simply captioned the snap for her 2.4million followers, alongside a loved-up emoji.

The couple have been seen mostly apart due to their insane work schedules.

Maura bagged a role as Boohoo’s ambassador and now has her very own podcast Get The Scoop.

She’s doing all this while juggling her role as agony aunt on This Morning.

Meanwhile, Curtis has been filming for The Greatest Dancer after also bagging a part on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK.

Well, the two have proved they’re way too busy and way too loved up to care what their critics have to say.

Good news is not looking up for Love Island’s Molly-Mae Hague and Lucie Donlan, after reports that the two shunned each other from their respective launch parties.

The two islanders were never the best of friends in the villa, partly due to friction caused by Lucie’s friendship with Molly-Mae’s partner, Tommy Fury.

Since leaving the villa, Molly-Mae has launched a clothing line with online fashion retailer PrettyLittleThing, while Lucie has opted to collaborate with company Peng Hair in a deal worth a reported £200,000.

But now, the relationship between the two has said to have soured even further, after the girls did not invite each other to their parties, according to The Sun.

The publication claims that Lucie chose to keep Molly-Mae’s name off the guest list to her party back in August, just a few days after she claimed that ‘no one really speaks to her’.

Lucie was also nowhere to be seen at the social media influencer’s PrettyLittleThing launch just two weeks later, which fellow islanders Amber Gill, Amy Hart, Maura Higgens, Anna Vakili and Joanna Chimonides all attended.

A source has since stated to The Sun that ‘there was no friendship’ between the two girls, and that Molly-Mae did not appreciate Lucie’s ‘declaration of love’ towards Tommy.

‘While Lucie and Tommy were close in the villa, viewers saw that Molly-Mae didn’t appreciate her declarations of love while they were together,’ the source claimed.

‘There hasn’t been a single explosive incident that forced Lucie and Molly-Mae apart, it just became clear upon leaving the villa that there was no friendship there.’

This comes just days after it was reported that Lucie is ‘jealous’ of Molly-Mae, and her reported £500,000 clothing deal.

A source told Mail Online that the surfer has since continued to make ‘snide’ remarks towards the 20-year-old.

Lucie also previously revealed in an interview with the publication that she is no longer in contact with her or Tommy.

She said: ‘I haven’t keep in contact with them since leaving the villa, they’ve obviously been really busy which is good for them.’

Metro.co.uk contacted reps of Molly-Mae and Lucie for comment.

Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury were spotted sharing a giggle as they got off the plane from Las Vegas after they cheered on Tyson Fury in his Las Vegas fight with Otto Wallin.

One of the few Love Island couples still going strong, the pair looked fresh-faced and happy as they left Manchester Airport.

Molly-Mae wore a white Abercrombie & Fitch tracksuit combo whilst Tommy opted for a black jumper and trousers. Talk about airport fashion coordination, ey?

The Love Island runner ups previously said they purchased an apartment together in Manchester, so they’re probably going home together after the long flight in.

The loved-up couple flew to Vegas to support Tommy’s boxer bro Tyson as he won on points in an intense match against the Swedish fighter at the T-Mobile Arena, bringing him one step closer to a fight with Deontay Wilder.

The 20-year-old TV star got cosy with the boxer’s wife Paris during the fight, sharing a selfie of the pair on her Instagram stories.

Her beau, on the other hand, spent time with his big brother behind-the-scenes.

Tommy, who is also an aspiring boxer, filmed his brother throwing jabs in his dressing room before proudly following the heavyweight on his ring walk as the fight commenced.

Molly-Mae has been a busy bee since the end of the show and visited New York City last week during Fashion Week to promote her new collection with PrettyLittleThing.

But she hasn’t been without her share of drama. Reports suggest Molly has cut ties with other Love Island stars.

Former contestant Lucie Donlan told The Sun: ‘No one really speaks to her. A lot of people are doing their own thing. I guess they’re concentrating on their future and stuff which is really good and it’s nice to see them doing really well.

‘I guess it’s such a shame we don’t keep in touch as much as we all should.

‘It would be nice to get everyone together and hang out and stuff. But I think everyone’s doing their own thing so that’s probably why we haven’t heard from many people.’

Love Island star Greg O’Shea doesn’t seem too devastated about his split from Amber Gill, as he reveals there’s ‘no stress’ in his life.

The Irish rugby player is accused of dumping Amber, 22, by text message earlier this month just five weeks after they won this year’s Love Island and the £50,000 prize money.

While Greg vehemently denies ending their short-lived romance via text, Amber insists he did.

But the 24-year-old isn’t allowing the backlash keep him down as he seemed happy and relaxed while spending time with his family in GarryKennedy, Ireland over the weekend.

Greg shared a montage of cosy Instagram snaps with his mum, Carol O’Shea, siblings and a sweet photo of his nan.

The caption said: ‘Family is the most important thing. Missing @jessqmcd big time! #TooBlessedToBeStressed.’

Clearly nothing is bothering him at the moment.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B2cXlGAHY5h/

Supporting his Love Island co-star, Anton Danyluk commented: ‘Exactly bro way too blessed.’

Greg’s not had an easy time in the wake of his split from Amber.

The aspiring lawyer confirmed they were no longer dating during an appearance on Ireland’s The Late Late Show, where he blamed the long distance and their busy work schedules.

However, he denied breaking up with the beautician via text.

Fast forward a few days later and Amber seemed to have a slightly different version of the story to tell on Loose Women.

She claimed: ‘Definitely on that day it was a text. We were texting each other.

‘I think there was a bit of miscommunication but if you don’t want to be with someone, you don’t want to be with someone.’

Since their split, Greg has reportedly lost 25,000 Instagram followers and fans called for him to give his share of the Love Island prize money to Amber.

Amber appears to be moving on just fine after signing a £1 million deal with MissPap and being linked to Hollyoaks star Malique Thompson-Dwyer.

Love Island’s Ovie Soko and India Reynolds got a telling off from Rylan Clark-Neal for being ‘intimate’ as they competed on Supermarket Sweep.

In scenes due to air tonight the couple, who are still going strong since leaving the Majorcan villa despite split rumours, were warned to keep their hands to themselves as they went head-to-head against Chris Taylor, Harley Brash, Anton Danyluk and Belle Hassan.

‘Can I just say now while I’m chatting to you guys, Ovie and India you’re getting very intimate in my supermarket,’ Rylan pointed out.

‘This is like a swimming pool. We can’t have any heavy petting in here thank you.’

Rylan added: ‘Keep your hands to yourself and your fingers on the buzzers, thank you very much.’

As Ovie and India giggled, Rylan quipped to the camera: ‘Clearly they’re still in the honeymoon period.’

Just last week, India was forced to deny cheating on her beau Ovie with former Arsenal footballer Kieran Gibbs after UKGossipTV claimed she was spotted ‘kissing’ the sport star.

A rep for India told Metro.co.uk: ‘There is no truth in this whatsoever and Ovie and India are still very much together and happy.’

The Supermarket Sweep reboot kicked off last week, with Rylan taking over from the late Dale Winton, who hosted the popular game show in its heyday from 1993-2001 and again in 2007.

Since its return, Rylan has insisted that the show is still Dale’s and shared the most perfect response to all the haters.

‘Glad people are enjoying [Supermarket] Sweep,’ he wrote on Twitter on Friday.

‘Even more glad that the people who tweet me saying they “hate” it and I’m “terrible at my job and make them feel sick” are boosting my viewing figures.

Supermarket Sweep airs weekdays at 8pm on ITV2.

Ovie Soko had fans swooning last night at the launch party for his new clothing collection with ASOS.

The Love Island heartthrob has collaborated with the online fashion retailer on a seven-piece capsule collection and the 28-year-old took over their website yesterday, dubbing Monday ‘National Ovie Day’.

Before Ovie, who is dating fellow Love Islander India Reynolds, started winning hearts on the ITV show this summer, he won praise on the court as a British professional basketball player.

While he’s hinted at many exciting fashion-related collaborations for the future, Ovie isn’t quitting basketball any time soon and has revealed he’ll be back playing professionally from next year.

What basketball team does Ovie Soko play for?

Before appearing on Love Island, Ovie played basketball for Spanish team UCAM Murcia of the Liga ACB.

The TV star and sportsman has also played for basketball teams in the US, including for the UAB Blazers Team at the University of Alabama and Duquesne, who are based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and for Aries Trikala, a Greek team.

Ovie was not selected when he entered the NBA draft five years ago, but who knows what the future might hold for the lovable star now.

‘I’m very excited, it’s an exciting time for basketball.’

Love Island is reportedly being urged to reconsider its winter version in South Africa due to the rising violent crime rates.

The hit dating show is moving to two series a year, with the summer one taking place in Spain as usual, and a further winter run filmed in South Africa.

But producers are set to rethink the location over the concerns of the safety of the contestants, say Daily Star.

Violent crimes in South Africa have increased between April 2018 and March 2019, according to police.

A source told Daily Star: ‘Cape Town International Airport welcomed 5.3 million holiday makers last year – up 3% on the previous year.’

ITV declined to comment when contacted by Metro.co.uk.

It comes after it was claimed the show will need to have ‘medics on standby’ in case any of the islanders encounter poisonous wildlife.

‘Health and safety experts will be specially drafted in to help look out for deadly snakes and other poisonous creepy-crawlies,’ a source told The Sun.

‘There will be a specialist medic on hand, too, so contestants can get urgent medical attention. Plus, if necessary, facilities to chopper them to a local hospital.

‘This is a very different kettle of fish to filming in mainland Europe.’

This year’s Love Island was won by Amber Gill and Greg O’Shea.

Love Island has apparently lined up its first contestant for the winter series.

Show bosses are said to have their eye on model Ellis Iyayi as auditions for the new series continue.

Applications are still ongoing, but producers feel they have ‘struck gold’ with the fitness instructor, who they believe will ‘make great television’.

It is not known if could be in line as an original islander, entering the Love Island villa first, or as a bombshell thrown in at a later date to stir things up and get pulses racing.

A show insider told The Sun: ‘Ellis is over the moon about it – he’s had to be sworn to secrecy about it but he’s been in to meet producers a few times and they love him – he can’t wait to get in the villa.

‘Ellis is exactly what the show is looking for and he ticks all the boxes – he will make great television.’

You can see why they would think that if you head on over to his Instagram page.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B2HZSS_nYCb/

https://www.instagram.com/p/B0ZBRJUnDsy/

Ellis, from Leicestershire, often shares photos of himself topless or looking cool in stylish outfits.

He has already modelled for brands such as ASOS, Nike, JD Sports and GymShark.

The Love Island casting process came under scrutiny this year as it was revealed winner Amber Gill never actually applied for the show.

According to The Mirror, contestants Amy Hart, 26, Michael Griffiths, 27, Joe Garratt, 22, and Ovie Soko, 28, were among those who applied through the general application.

Curtis Pritchard and Tommy Fury both had agents before they appeared on the show, with the latter being the brother of champion boxer Tyson.

In a statement to Metro.co.uk, a Love Island spokesperson said: ‘We are very transparent about how we find people for the show, and whether they are invited to audition or apply themselves, everyone who is seen for the show goes through exactly the same process.’

Amber bagged the £50,000 prize money with Greg O’Shea, however the couple have since split.

Metro.co.uk has contacted Love Island and Ellis’ reps for comment.

If you thought the stars of Love Island moved quickly while in the villa, well, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

Georgia Steel has reportedly got engaged to Callum Izzard on the winter spin-off of Ex On The Beach, after just one month of dating.

The 21-year-old – best known for being ‘loyal’ to Sam Bird on the 2018 series of Love Island – was apparently delighted when Ibiza Weekender and Celebs Go Dating star Callum, 23, got down on one knee during filming.

According to The Sun, the proposal will air on Ex On The Peak – the winter version of the US Ex On The Beach – early next year.

The couple have only been dating for a matter of weeks, following Georgia’s split from model Addis Miller.

A source told the publication: ‘It all happened very quickly but they are really suited and are very in love.

‘Callum and Georgia wanted to keep their romance private and didn’t even tell their friends and family.”

‘It’s been something of a whirlwind but they are both very happy and are finding it difficult to hide how they feel about each other.’

Well, yeah, especially when you propose while the cameras were rolling.

The reality star was ditched by Josh Denzel after he met Kaz Crossley in Casa Amor, while her romance with Sam didn’t last outside the villa.

Georgia was then linked to a fraudster who was jailed for four years for impersonating former Chelsea winger Gael Kakuta.

While Georgia and Callum’s engagement will shock fans, it isn’t the first proposal to occur on MTV’s Ex On The Beach.

Jordan Davies popped the question to girlfriend Megan McKenna during their second stint on the show in 2016.

Unfortunately, the couple had split up by the time the series aired.

Metro.co.uk has contacted Georgia and Callum’s reps for comment.

Love Island’s Ovie Soko revealed he was never invited to be part of the cast’s official WhatsApp group, and our hearts have broken.

After Maura Higgins revealed the group chat was basically dead, the 28-year-old – who came third on the show with India Reynolds – explained he was never in it in the first place.

Sounds a little chaaaldish…

Speaking exclusively to Metro.co.uk at the launch of his collection with ASOS, he told us: ‘A lot of people have been asking about this Love Island WhatsApp group…

‘This seems to be the thing.

‘I mean, I’ve got everyone’s numbers from Love Island, but I’m not part of any group…

‘So maybe there’s a group out there that I’m not part of… Are you telling me I should be part of the group?!’

Laughing the apparent snub off, the basketball player joked: ‘You’ve just let me know I’m not part of the group, oh wow. Wow.’

That’s fine hun, you can be in ours….!

While he might not have made it into the group chat, Ovie has absolutely no regrets about taking part in this year’s series and wouldn’t trade his experience in for the upcoming South Africa season.

When asked whether he thinks winter Love Island will be as popular with fans, he continued: ‘I’m not sure, I don’t know whether it’s going to be as big as the summer one or not, I really couldn’t tell you.

‘That’s human nature, you always want more at the end of the day.

‘I’m happy with Majorca, Majorca was a good experience.’

He met India in the Majorcan villa after all…

Ovie was recently announced as ASOS’ first ever celebrity collaboration – and the news was celebrated with #NationalOvieDay, which is absolutely no less than he deserves.

ITV2 viewers had been begging his range after noticing his unique style in the Island.

‘The people got what they wanted,’ he yelled. ‘It’s wild, the whole journey thus far has been dope. Something I couldn’t really put entirely into words, but it’s just been amazing. I think what it represents, it’s a lot bigger than a TV show could ever be.

‘It’s given hope to everyone, in my opinion, and let them know that being yourself can get you good things in life. Having good, positive energy does go a long way.’

Speaking about his seven-piece collection, which has been inspired massively by dad Raymond’s artwork, he was adamant that this would be the focal point of the clothes.

‘That was a huge part, when we sat down with ASOS and started going through what my ideas were, what my vision was,’ he said.

‘I’ve had a lot of influences growing up, but my dad and brother have been the main male influences in my life. Why would I steer away from that now?’

And Ovie teased that the collection – which features a selection of his trademark bucket hats – would also look good on women.

‘There will be sizes for everyone, ASOS does a good job at that. I’m an extremely tall gentleman and I find clothes there that fit me very well,’ he added. ‘They do a good job at tailoring to people of all shapes and sizes.

‘I really believed in a lot of their beliefs in a brand, and the energies between them and myself, it just all fell in line. It was the perfect relationship.’

Count. Us. In.

Ovie’s collection will be available on ASOS from 23 September.

Love Island’s Molly-Mae Hague is not bothered by Lucie Donlan’s shady comments about her not keeping in touch with the other Islanders as she’s been way too busy focusing on work instead.

Since coming second on the show with boyfriend Tommy Fury, Molly has been jetting back and forth between the UK and the USA for various work projects as well as Tyson Fury’s fight, and launching her new hair range with Beauty Works.

Speaking at the launch, Molly-Mae revealed to Metro.co.uk that she hasn’t been paying attention to Lucie Donlan’s claims that she never sees anyone from the show, as she has had too much going on to take much notice of her claims.

Molly-Mae explained: ‘Yeah, not really, because it’s not the case. I do still see the people that I was close with in the villa and Lucie and I weren’t close in the villa.

‘So she would say that because I’d say the same about her because we don’t speak, we weren’t close. And obviously circumstances just mean that we’re not close like that.

‘So it didn’t surprise me an article like that came out because it is the case, we don’t speak.

‘But I do speak to other people, I’m very, very close to Maura [Higgins] and I was on the phone to her last night for two hours. The people that have been close to in the villa, I speak to and that’s completely untrue. I didn’t even blink twice at it.’

She added that there were over 40 people who went into the villa in total over the series, and nobody would realistically maintain close friendships with all of those people on the outside.

Molly-Mae continued: ‘It’s 40 random people, there’s no way and how you’re going to be friends with all of them. I’ve literally got a couple of close friends in my life because I’m very selective about people that I’m close with, so I was never going to be friends with everyone.

‘I don’t think I think it would be unrealistic for anyone in the villa to say that they would be friends with everyone, because it’s just not the case.’

Since leaving the Villa, Molly-Mae has been selective about the brands she has chosen to work with, and as well as her partnership with PrettyLittleThing for her clothing range, she has now teamed up with Beauty Works to launch her own range of hair products.

She told us: ‘It means everything to me that I am working with brands I could only have ever dreamt of before, like to have three and a half million followers is such a large number of people to influence and I only want to influence them with brands that I absolutely love.

‘And I’ve actually only worked with two brands so far [Beauty Works and PrettyLittleThing]. Coming out of Love Island, I’ve had countless brands contact me and want to work with me.

‘Brands have even offered me more money, brands have offered me the world but I’m not behind them and it’s not a brand that I would have used before, so it’s not a brand that I want to use now just because of the money they’re offering me.’

Molly-Mae is Beauty Works’ new brand ambassador for the UK, with her products launching in October, including her Curl Kit to emulate her signature volume waves. Fans can sign up to be the first to get her collection right here.

Molly-Mae Hague revealed she was the go-to hairdresser for the girls in the Love Island villa as she revealed her new range of hair products.

At the launch of her new Beauty Works collection, Molly-Mae revealed to Metro.co.uk that she was the one the girls came to when they needed help with their hair or wanted to borrow an outfit.

She explained: ‘I always did the girls hair for them. It was a bit of running joke because I was the hairdresser in there and I was the wardrobe.

‘Everyone used to go to my wardrobe for the outfits and they used to come to me if they wanted pin curls, if they wanted a French braid or anything. we like how is always kind of helping them out.

‘But we all helped each other out, like Anna [Vakili] was really great at makeup and I was really great a hair and obviously lending outfits.’

She added: ‘I always do pin curls for the girls if we had like a glam evening where we have to look really nice. We would all do pin curls, and I would literally have to do about 10 sets, and they each take a long time so I’m now a pro at pin curls!’

Molly-Mae spilled that the reason they went for pin curls was so their hair would set in the style and wouldn’t drop in the humidity in Majorca.

She also became quite iconic for her bun hairdo in the villa, as well as her bouncy Hollywood waves, which she will be releasing tutorials for as part of her collaboration with Beauty Works.

Molly-Mae revealed that she still keeps in touch with the girls she was closest to in the villa, despite recent media reports, and that she has invited them all down to her new home which she shares with Tommy Fury.

She told us: ‘I’ve told them all that Tommy and I have an apartment together now and there’s loads of room if they ever want to come and stay they are always welcome with us, and they know that.’

Megan Barton-Hanson says she was so happy to see a sex-positive woman like Maura Higgins on Love Island this year, after she received so much stick for being open about sleeping with two people on last year’s show.

Megan, who is Ann Summers’ Pleasure Positivity Director, revealed that she hopes people like her and Maura can pave the way for more women to be open about enjoying sex.

She told Metro.co.uk: ‘I can’t explain how happy I was to see a girl like Maura in the show. I loved her so much and she got so much stick for when she was licking that ice lolly, and yet you see the guys in their challenges and they’re grinding on the decking and nearly getting splinters in their d**k!

‘They can do that but the poor girl eats a f**king Calippo like that and everyone’s upset.’

Maura had been the butt of online jokes after she sucked the ice lolly on the show, but nobody criticised the men of the series for being openly sexual in the same way.

She added: ‘I really hope [the narrative will change]. And that was my biggest thing. No-one this year had sex, and I was like, I’ve championed it so much that women can have sex too [without being judged] but no-one did that.

‘So I am so glad Maura was in there to be herself and talk about her f*nny flutters and lick her ice lolly, with her Irish accent.

‘It’s been fully accepted for men to be there and be like Adam [Collard] whose key fact was that he slept with, I don’t know, 300 or 500 women. But I dare sleep with two people in eight weeks and oh god forbid, she’s burning in hell!’

Adam had admitted that he had slept with over 200 women during his time on the show in 2018.

Megan admitted that it’s strong female role models in the media that have made her unafraid to be unapologetically herself, and she hopes having more of them on shows like Love Island will help it become the norm.

She explained: ‘I don’t know Maura, but I just hope that that’s what gave her the strength [to be herself]. For me, if there weren’t girls like Cherry [Healey], Amber Rose or Amy Schumer in my life, I would never have the courage to do it.

‘So I just hope that me, Maura, the next girl that goes on Love Island can be like “Do you know what, I like sex”, the boys would do it so I’m going to do it.

‘The double standard is so old-fashioned, but hopefully every day we’re getting better.’

Megan Barton-Hanson never minces her words, and she has now admitted that her ex, Wes Nelson, had ‘good d**k’ – even though she now ‘hates’ him.

Speaking in a Q&A with Cherry Healey at Ann Summers’ Pleasure Positivity Project event, Megan confessed: ‘Before Love Island I used to date guys with long hair that looked like they hadn’t washed for a few days.

‘And then I got with like the six-pack, Adonis, who is like so gorgeous from every angle and that w*lly, I’ve never seen one like that! As much as I hate him now, that was a good d**k!’

She and Wes had met in the Love Island villa, but parted ways a couple of months after leaving the show.

Megan, who is Ann Summers’ Pleasure Positivity Director, is encouraging women to be more open about sex, and revealed she had no regrets about sleeping with both Eyal Booker and Wes during her time in the villa.

Openly bisexual, Megan has been exploring dating women after having had sexual experiences with females in the past and thankfully is much happier with her current girlfriend, Chelcee Grimes.

Speaking to Metro.co.uk, Megan couldn’t stop gushing about Chelcee, explaining: ‘It is definitely different [dating girls to guys].

‘My whole life I’ve never really had a relationship with girls, like I said on Celebs Go Dating. And I’ve had like, sexual experiences with girls and I’ve had one night stands with girls, but I feel like this is actually me.

‘I’ve never felt so comfortable in my life, I feel like I’m finally where I should be. I’ve never felt as comfortable with someone.’

She added: ‘Don’t get me wrong, I was in love with all my exes. But this is just a different feeling, like the connection we have.

‘And the main reason I was worried about coming out is because I didn’t want people to see it’s just like a sexual thing. And it’s not about that, it’s all about the fact you just want someone to watch Netflix with and connect to.

‘I can tell her anything, it’s like a best friend and the girlfriend rolled into one.’
