Love Island’s first dumped boy revealed after savage twist rocked the villa
THE LOVE Island villa said goodbye to Blu Chegini as tonight’s savage twist rocked the villa.
The Sun revealed earlier today that the boys got into a heated row as they battled it out to stay.
Last night the both insisted they weren’t leaving, as Blu confidently said: “I ain’t f****** leaving,” and Shea echoed: “I ain’t either.”
And tonight’s episode kicked off in explosive fashion as the two boys stated their reasons for wanting to stay.
Blu said he wanted the chance to get to form a connection with someone, but Shea said he had already had his chance.
Blu hit back and said he didn’t feel that Shea had anyone who he’d be romantically interested in.
But Shea fired back and confessed he still wants to get to know Shakira, but she insisted she only has eyes for Ben.
They both failed to budge and could not reach a decision, meaning the power was handed over to their fellow Islanders.
Each couple made their choice and in the end it was Blu who was given the boot, with the general consensus being he’d had enough time but Shea hasn’t.
Blu was clearly devastated by the news.
He then packed his bags and said his goodbye to the Islanders, before leaving through the front door.
Last night, the girls stood up to make their decision one by one, until only Shea and Blu remained.
Dejon then received a text which read: “Blue and Shea, you are now single.
“Between you both you should now decided who should stay and who should go.”
The episode then ended with the two single boys standing in front of their fellow Islanders at the fire pit.
The Sun revealed today that Blu and Shea got into a rather tense war of words in the most savage dumping twist ever.
A villa source tells The Sun: “Things get very heated between Blu and Shea after the savage twist that they have to decide between them who will go.
“Viewers will see it play out in tonight’s episode but it’s really tense.
“Neither of them wants to back down and while it doesn’t get physical, they get into a real war of words and some of the things they said to each other were brutal.
“Neither boy wanted to leave and it’s pretty explosive telly.
“Emotions were very high as they have both spent months trying to land their spot on the show, so neither one was going to back down easily.”
Last night’s night’s instalment was perhaps the most chaotic of the week, with fans left convinced two Islanders did the deed.
Viewers reckon Harry and Helena had sex after just three days in the villa.

WWE in major blunder after glamorous new female wrestler is accidentally named after PORN STAR
THE WWE have been caught in a major blunder after their new glamorous wrestler was accidently names after a PORN STAR.
Mariah May is joining the WWE, having moved on from rival league the AEW.
The stunning blonde made her debut in the WWE on “NXT” but did so anonymously.
Monroe, 26, has now been announced as the league’s next wrestling star.
However, due to the WWE being keen to secure the rights to the wrestler’s names, she was given a new identity.
This is where the gaffe has been made, as she was unveiled as Blake Monroe.
Fans reacted to the botch job in the comment section of the post unveiling Monroe.
One posted: “Blake Monroe? C’mon, WWE, you can do better than that.”
A second wrote: “Oh brother. What a horrible name change.”
A third commented: “Blake what?”
A fourth said: “The name isn’t giving but congrats to her.”
Another added: “It couldn’t just be Mariah Monroe?”
The original Blake Monroe made several adult films two decades ago.
The video of the wrestler’s announcement showcased her sitting in a bubble bath.
She was described as “internationally adored” and “beauty and grace”.
The Daily Mail have reported that the video sparked debate that she is planning on copying actor Sydney Sweeney by selling the BATHWATER to fans.
Euphoria star Sydney, 27, collaborated with grooming brand Dr. Squatch to produce a limited edition soap called “Bathwater Bliss”.
Historic moment female Beefeater locks Tower of London for first time in 700 years in ‘fabulous honour’
A FEMALE Beefeater has led the Ceremony of the Keys, the locking of the Tower of London, for the first time in the ritual’s 700-year history.
AJ Clark, 50, can perform the task after becoming the first female yeoman warder promoted to sergeant.
Other women have played a role in past ceremonies. But only sergeants carry the King’s Keys.
AJ told The Sun: “I still pinch myself.
“It’s just fabulous.
“There is so much history and it is such an honour to be part of it.”
The ritual dates to 1340 after King Edward III arrived unannounced and was furious he could enter unchallenged.
The ceremony lasts from 9.53pm to 10pm.
We watched as AJ emerged from the Byward Tower — where Anne Boleyn lived before her 1536 execution — with a lantern and the keys.
She walked alone to the Bloody Tower to meet her escort of four Irish Guards.
They marched to the Middle Gate then the Byward Gate, where AJ closed and locked the huge wooden doors.
Back at the Bloody Tower — where King Edward V, 12, and brother Richard, nine, were murdered — a sentry challenged AJ: “Halt! Who goes there?”
AJ replied she had “King Charles’ keys” and her group was allowed to pass.
She gave the keys to the King’s representative, before the playing of the Last Post.
AJ, of Burnley, spent 24 years in the Army before becoming a Beefeater in 2017.
She lives in the Tower with her husband and three dogs.
She added: “It is the shortest military ceremony in history, but for us the most important.
“Being a yeoman warder is magical.”
Iran’s Islamic regime is a dangerous wounded predator & they could see Israel’s allies as soft targets – including UK
THE Israeli air force and Mossad spy agency have left Iran’s Islamist leadership on the ropes.
Yesterday’s extraordinary mix of targeted assassinations of Iran’s military and nuclear masterminds and heavy blows to the country’s air defences will be a textbook case for study in military academies for decades to come.
The operation grew out of how it knocked out Iran’s proxy allies, Hezbollah, in nearby Lebanon last autumn.
Back then, an astonishing mix of exploding pagers and precision bombing strikes paralysed Iran’s main proxy terrorist ally, other than Hamas in Gaza.
Israel has a long record as the master of the surprise attack.
The current crisis echoes how it initiated the Six-Day War in June, 1967.
Then, Israeli bombers destroyed Egypt’s air force on the ground at dawn on the first day. Five days later, the Israeli Army stood along Egypt’s Suez Canal and on Syria’s Golan Heights and captured Jerusalem and the West Bank from Jordan.
Dramatic seizure
But that’s also where today’s conflict is very different from the one 58 years ago.
Israel’s planes and spies have hit Iran hard but the Israeli Army is not going to repeat 1967’s dramatic seizure of enemy territory.
Israel’s soldiers already have their hands full fighting Hamas in Gaza and keeping control of the Palestinians in the West Bank. Israeli tanks are not going to roll east to Tehran.
That means that the Ayatollah and his surviving henchmen — provided they keep control of Iran — will remain a threat to Israel.
The Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has made it clear that he is determined to neuter Iran’s nuclear project to stop it getting an atomic bomb.
But he argues that regime change in Tehran is the only way to kill that threat, not an Israeli occupation.
Before the Islamic Revolution in 1979, the Shah’s Iran was friendly to Israel and shipped oil there.
Optimists hope that situation could return if the brutal regime of the Ayatollahs collapses in humiliation because it could not deter the Israeli strikes.
Syria’s new government since the fall of Iran’s ally, President Assad, last December, has been reaching out to the West and turned a blind eye to Israeli overflights to attack Iran yesterday.
It’s possible a revolution against the Islamic Republic in Iran could lead the country back to a pro-Western and pro-Israeli position.
But that is not guaranteed.
So long as the Islamist regime remains in place in Iran, strikes by Israel and counterattacks by Iran can be expected.
Friday’s dramatic developments should not delude us that this war is virtually over.
Iran might have spent yesterday waiting for nightfall before trying to hit back with its missiles under the cover of darkness, so it would be harder for Israeli bombers to locate their movement to launch sites.
But it is possible that Israel’s mix of decapitation of key military planners and damage to Iran’s weapons stockpiles has weakened Iran hugely, but not yet made it surrender.
Friday’s dramatic developments should not delude us that this war is virtually over.
Israel has been fighting a covert war of sabotage and assassination against Iran’s nuclear and missile programmes for a long time.
The world faces a much bigger crisis since the latest explosive conflict between Israel and Iran. And no one knows how to handle the shock waves.
Only a few weeks ago, a stockpile of raw materials for Iran’s rocket fuel which had been delivered from China went up in smoke.
Such trade reminds us that Iran is not absolutely friendless.
Other pariah states could help it in this crisis.
Russia, in particular, is a military partner.
It has bought thousands of Iranian Shahed drones to attack Ukraine.
Now Iran’s drone supplies to Russia will dry up as the Ayatollah keeps them for his war with Israel.
But the plus side for Putin is that oil prices are soaring, helping him to pay for his war on Ukraine while American and European attention is distracted in the Middle East.
Even if Russia does not get involved, its vast territory could be a useful route for Iran to get help from an actual nuclear-armed rogue state, North Korea.
Will North Korea now supply Tehran with weapons, even a ready-made atomic bomb from its own stockpile?
Israel’s nuclear nightmare is not over just yet.
Wounded predator
The Israeli surprise attack has also killed off any American or European ability to act as Middle East mediators.
President Trump had originally tried to keep nuclear talks going with Iran but now he has come all-in behind Israel.
He has posted on his Truth social media platform about America’s willingness to supply even more powerful weapons to Israel as it pursues an air campaign to degrade Iran’s military power.
Israel’s other Western friends, including Britain could also be seen as “soft targets” by Iranian agents.
Iran’s Islamic regime is a dangerous wounded predator.
It cannot defeat Israel, but it could go mad and unleash terrorism, even using chemical weapons which its industries can make much more easily than nuclear weapons.
The world faces a much bigger crisis since the latest explosive conflict between Israel and Iran. And no one knows how to handle the shock waves.
