Love Island star suddenly leaves villa after ITV alerted to a ‘situation in his past’

One of the Casa Amor boys has reportedly been removed from the Love Island villa after ITV was alerted to something that had happened in his past

14:52, 28 Jun 2026Updated 14:52, 28 Jun 2026

A Love Island newbie has left the villa after ITV bosses was reportedly alerted to “something in his past”.

Casa Amor model, Gabriel Garland, who viewers will see on tonight’s show, is said to have left the series after those behind the scenes discovered reportedly something which was not revealed during the programme’s official background checks.

The information is said to have only come to light after the Casa Amor line-up was unveiled – though it is not clear what led to his exit.

Following the reveal of this year’s bombshells, a number of comments began to surface under the social media post, which questioned ITV’s background checks. One person wrote: “Love Island ain’t good at background checks.” Another added: “Love Island gotta fix up their background checks [sic].”

According to The Sun, these comments are connected to model Gabriel, 24, and his sudden departure from the villa.

Speaking to The Mirror, ITV confirmed his departure saying: “Gabriel has now left the villa and will not be returning.”

Although he has left Love Island, viewers are still set to see him in tonight’s show as he enters Casa Amor for the first time.

Hi exit is said to have occurred during filming of the Casa Amor twist and there are no plans for him to be replaced by a new bombshell.

It comes after Love Island was hit by more than 180 complaints in a week earlier this month, after viewers claimed some of the Islanders were behaving badly.

The new series of the ITV2 show, filmed under the Spanish sun in Majorca is well underway and predictably packed full of drama.

However, some viewers are less than impressed by the class of 2026 and called independent watchdog, Ofcom, to complain, claiming some of the boys were being “misogynistic” in “hard-to-watch” scenes.

Fans were left fuming over Tommy’s interaction with the girls earlier this month and complained his kiss with Namibia was “forced”. In a busy night for the Newcastle-based builder, Tommy snogged Namibia – and Ellie – and even tried to kiss Priya.

Viewers complained they felt sorry for Namibia after Tommy pulled her in for a kiss just hours after he’d locked lips with Ellie. However, he wasn’t done yet as the Geordie then told the boys he also had his sights set on Priya, and tried to kiss her too.

Fans were also unimpressed by Simba after he was rejected by Mica. After suggesting they go to the Hideaway to spend the night together, Simba thought his luck was in. However, after Mica decided it wasn’t the right time, Simba fumed: “Now I’m going to look like a f*****g idiot, go talk to Angie and that.”

Mica told the girls: “He carried on venting to the rest of the group, saying: ‘I’m f***ed now, so f***ed, oh my f***** days.’” Simba was then see marching off to the bedroom as he muttered: “I don’t even know what they want man.”

Ofcom reports that the majority of complaints logged in June have been related to alleged misogyny towards the female contestants.

Boxer Lee Reeves is ‘critical but stable’ having been hospitalised after being knocked out during his defeat by Gary Cully on Saturday night.

In what proved to be an enthralling all-Republic of Ireland bout, Reeves was stopped in the 10th and final round by Cully – who sent him tumbling to the canvas with a huge left hand.

There was immediate concern from those inside the 3Arena in Dublin as Reeves stayed down for several moments as officials and medical staff quickly came to his aid.

The 31-year-old was given some oxygen before he left the venue being carried off on a stretcher and taken to hospital.

A spokesperson from Queensberry Promotions said on Sunday evening: ‘Lee Reeves is still in hospital, in a critical but stable condition.

‘We will know more in the coming days, and our thoughts and prayers remain with Lee and his family.’

Reeves was immeadiately attended to by after being stopped in the 10th round of his defeat – he is now ‘stable but critical’

Taking to X to provide an update, Queensberry promoter Frank Warren had previously written: ‘All our thoughts and prayers are with Lee Reeves and his family at this time as he remains in hospital.

‘Everyone at Queensberry is thinking of him and we’re in constant contact with his team regarding his condition as we hope for positive news.’

Victory for Cully meant he claimed the BUI Celtic super-lightweight title but despite the victory, his thoughts were with Reeves.

‘My prayers and thoughts are with Lee Reeves, hopefully he’s okay,’ said a concerned Cully.

‘He came in there as a big underdog after fighting relatively at a lower level up until now, but he really showed that he can operate at a higher level. Huge credit to him.’

the wellness industry is coming for your pets

the wellness industry is coming for your pets

I am a runner who loves being active alongside my dogs. Actually, I am more of a plodder – and one with very bad knees. Those knees benefit from regular physiotherapy and sports massage. You might not be surprised, then, to hear that I have regular physiotherapy appointments. The slight curveball is that the last three appointments I have attended have been with my dogs’ veterinary physiotherapist.

Yes, you read that right. Before sorting out my own physical ailments, I took each of my dogs for a full musculoskeletal assessment where they had an individual exercise plan prepared. They also each benefited from some canine sports massage and laser therapy during their session.

They were then driven home, resting on orthopaedic bedding, while wearing magnetic therapy coats. Once home, they were fed meals specifically prepared for their individual needs, topped with fresh ingredients and supplements intended to support specific aspects of their health.

Meanwhile, I, their chauffeur and chief carer, was drinking instant coffee, nursing aching knees and wearing an ancient hoodie complete with a few “fashionable” holes. At one point, as I stood up creakily, I even joked to their physiotherapist: “Do you do people?” She politely declined.

Perhaps my priorities are questionable, but I am not alone. There’s a term for it now: poochmaxxing – applying the same optimisation instincts (and spending) to a pet’s wellness that many of us now apply to our own. As the role of pets in society has changed, the way we think about their healthcare and management is increasingly beginning to resemble the way we approach our own health.

But what does this mean for our pets? Does the evidence support the growing number of lotions, potions and therapies marketed to improve their health and longevity?

Not so long ago, if you had a concern about your pet, you would make an appointment with your vet, discuss the problem and be offered treatment options. Today, the veterinary sector is supported by a range of professionals, such as physiotherapists and hydrotherapists, who work under veterinary referral and guidance.

Increasingly, pet owners choose to use these services as part of their animal’s healthcare regimen, particularly to support fitness, physical recovery and overall muscle and bone health. Additional therapeutic approaches can be useful alongside conventional veterinary care, particularly when supporting recovery from injury. Acupuncture, massage, shockwave therapy (high-energy soundwaves to stimulate tissue), and even kinesiotaping (using elastic tape to support movement) are among the options available to some pet owners.

The pet wellness sector mirrors the growth of the human wellness industry, which is now a US$6.3 trillion industry (£4.7 trillion). People are increasingly exploring ways to maintain and optimise health beyond traditional healthcare settings, and many are now doing the same for their pets.

Everyone wants their pets to live longer. Marketing suggesting that certain diets, supplements or equipment such as clothing and bedding can slow ageing or improve health can be highly attractive, especially to people who want to give their animals the best possible care.

Wellness washing

The challenge in both the human and pet wellness sectors is that many products and services are supported by limited or mixed scientific evidence rather than the kind of large, robust studies we would expect for medicines. This can lead to so-called wellness washing – marketing that uses the language of health and science to make products appear more effective than the evidence suggests. It can make it difficult for consumers to distinguish genuine evidence-led treatments from claims driven mainly by commercial interests.

There are also concerns about mislabelling and contamination of products that are marketed as having health benefits but are not regulated in the same way as pharmaceutical medicines.

The rise of generative AI use in marketing has added another layer of complexity. Targeted social media advertising can make products and services appear more credible, particularly when adverts feature apparently qualified pet professionals. In some cases, pet owners might even choose these options over primary veterinary care, which could delay appropriate treatment.

For pet owners, it really is a case of buyer beware in the wellness space.

Want to poochmaxx to maximise your pet’s healthspan and lifespan? There are some simple things you can do that are supported by science and do not cost a small fortune.

Keeping active helps both you and your pet stay healthy, and is linked to healthy ageing. Exercise might even make both of you happier.

Balance activity with a nutritionally complete diet appropriate for your pet’s species, age and health needs. Foods containing nutrients such as antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids may support aspects of healthy physical and cognitive ageing in cats and dogs.

Exercise also helps maintain a lean, healthy bodyweight in pets and people, which is associated with longevity. A healthy body condition can also reduce the impact of painful, age-related conditions such as osteoarthritis in pets. Regular monitoring of body condition and bodyweight, then adjusting diet and exercise when needed, is a simple, evidence-based way to support your pet’s health every day.

Training and playing with your pet is also good for physical and cognitive health, while helping to strengthen your relationship.

Your pet’s living environment matters too. For example, secondhand smoke has significant implications for pet health. Cats living with smokers have an increased risk of developing malignant melanoma, and dogs show signs of passive smoke exposure even when their owners smoke outside.

The health and wellbeing of our pets is important, but make sure you poochmaxx with purpose. Look for robust evidence supporting claims made about products and services. Remember too that many of the most effective interventions are simple and affordable, and are based around what pets naturally need.

A good walk with plenty of sniffing, some ball throwing, free running and time with four-legged friends – or a sound bath session with aromatherapy and yoga? I know which one my dogs will choose – and it’s the walk, not the sound bath, that the evidence supports for long-term health and wellbeing.

Charity calls for ‘default’ 20mph zone within Cambridge city boundary to ‘improve road safety’

CamCycle said a default 20mph limit would improve road safety

A cycling charity has called for proposals for 20mph zones to be extended to cover all roads within Cambridge’s city boundary. Cambridgeshire County Council is currently consulting on plans to introduce new 20mph limits on roads around the city – but CamCycle wants the plans to go further.

A new Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) would see 20mph limits introduced on nearly 20 extra streets, including Queen’s Road, Northampton Street, Chesterton Road until Mitcham’s Corner, Victoria Avenue, East Road and Lensfield Road. Additional streets and sections include the Mitcham’s Corner gyratory, Corona Road, Brooklands Avenue, and the northern part of Coldhams Lane.

A county council spokesperson said of the proposals: “Over 100 people have been seriously injured across these routes since 2017. This proposal follows on from widespread engagement to put in 20mph limits on roads across Cambridge in 2024. Since then, there has been a positive response from communities to more focussed proposals for new 20mph limits in residential areas including Orchard Park.”

However, CamCycle said the charity supports a default 20mph limit within the city boundary. A spokesperson said: “Although many of the proposed routes are residential areas or routes to school, many similar routes have been omitted, including some of those that were most strongly supported for 20mph limits in the 2024 consultation.”

The charity believes the following roads should also be included:

Gilbert Road;
The eastern end of Chesterton Road;
Barnwell Road;
Long Road;
Hills Road south of Brooklands Avenue;
Victoria Road;
Ditton Lane.

Local resident Barney Cox, who lives near the eastern end of Chesterton Road, said he finds it “strange” that most of the road is 20mph until a small section from Mitcham’s Corner to Elizabeth Way. He said: “It’s part of the route for my child to go and play on Jesus Green and Midsummer Common, to visit his relatives and to go into town, so I’d like to see it as safe as possible.

“More broadly, I’d like to see 20mph within Cambridge for the benefits it makes to the safety of pedestrians and cyclists and, as a motorist, I appreciate having the consistency: I don’t like chopping and changing.“

Mr Cox said he lived in Islington for a long time and when a 20mph zone was introduced there he found that it felt safer. He continued: “It made driving less stressful. As a cyclist and a pedestrian and a parent, it made things less worrying. The risk of someone doing serious harm to me or my family through excess speed was greatly reduced.”

Camcycle CEO Anna Williams said: “More 20mph roads would make walking, wheeling and cycling a safer and more attractive choice for more people and create a clear and consistent environment for drivers. Around 80% of those killed or seriously injured on Cambridge’s roads each year are people walking and cycling, and moving to a default 20mph is an important step towards eliminating this unnecessary suffering.

“It’s not clear why the council, when it claims to support safer journeys for children, has so radically watered down its initial proposals, leaving many busy residential streets intimidating and dangerous. It needs to expand its ambition for the city if it wants to meet its own goal of zero deaths and injuries on our roads and help more people choose active modes of transport.”

A Cambridgeshire County Council spokesperson said: “We’re welcoming all feedback and responses during the consultation period via our online platform. We will review all responses received once the consultation has closed.”

Ariana Grande quits West End role as she plans to step back from the spotlight amid ‘ongoing public scrutiny’ over her appearance

Ariana Grande has quit her upcoming West End role as she plans to take a break following her tour amid struggles with ‘ongoing public scrutiny’ over her appearance.

The American singer and actress, 33, is currently on tour her and plans to step back from the public eye when it wraps in London on September 1.

Her next project was starring opposite her Wicked co-star Jonathan Bailey in Sunday In The Park with George on stage in London, but her representative has confirmed she will no longer be taking part.

Ariana’s spokesperson told PEOPLE: ‘Ariana will be taking a step back from visibility after she completes the Eternal Sunshine Tour.

‘She looks forward to finishing the tour and ending it on a high note, both healthily and happily, and then taking a much-deserved break from public-facing work and appearances, which has led to endless, ongoing public scrutiny.’

‘This tour has been a beautiful experience for her. She loves her fans and has loved every minute of this tour so much.’

Ariana’s appearance has come under scrutiny in recent months, especially following the release of her new music video, Petal

A source close to Ariana explained that Ariana’s tour involves a very physical and athletic performance which she performs at a healthy and high level.

Ariana’s appearance has come under scrutiny in recent months, especially following the release of her new music video, Petal.

She has publicly insisted that she’s healthy but that didn’t stop fans from pointing out how incredibly gaunt she looks in the violent music video.

In the bizarre clip, Ariana plays the character of Pepper, an aspiring starlet who attends multiple auditions in a bid to become famous.

After failing yet another audition, a group of studio bigwigs brand Ariana ‘unmarketable’, ‘unattractive’, and ‘inauthentic’, before accusing her of having a personality disorder.

‘We miss the old you,’ one tells her. ‘Maybe you could go out and find her and come back and give it another shot?’

Ariana leaves, only to return moments later with a chainsaw, which she uses to violently dismember the men.

Now drenched in blood, she returns to the waiting room, only to receive a round of rapturous applause from the other female auditionees.

Despite the clever social commentary in the video, many fans were more distracted by Ariana’s weight than anything else.

‘This is like looking at Karen Carpenter and everyone was like [shrug],’ wrote one fan.

‘I am actually so over us normalizing this and acting like this is okay,’ wrote a second.

‘Shocking and heartbreaking’, wrote a third, while a fourth added, ‘For the love of God, please eat something.’

Another wrote, ‘Her bones are literally popping out.’

Despite the concerned comments, other fans defended the singer and said that it was inappropriate to comment on her physical appearance.

‘If y’all actually cared about her you wouldn’t be publicly making comments about her body,’ argued one.

Fans were shocked by the star’s appearance, with many comparing her to the late singer Karen Carpenter

‘The irony of all the girls over 200 pounds saying she’s “unhealthy.” You think being 200 pounds is healthy? Good lord, the jealousy is screaming from you guys!’ wrote another.

Ariana released her eighth studio album, Petal, on Friday.

Concerns were raised about whether Sunday In The Park With George was going ahead when ticket sales were halted earlier this summer.

At the time it was suggested that Ariana was still planning to appear in the show next summer, before later backing out.

There were said to be growing fears that Ariana, who had just kicked off her Eternal Sunshine tour in America, was ‘oversubscribed’.

Ariana, who is now back with her ex-boyfriend Ricky Alvarez, had also just split from her boyfriend of three years Ethan Slater, after meeting on the set of Wicked.

Ariana was slated to appear opposite her Wicked co-star Jonathan Bailey in her hotly anticipated West End debut at the Barbican Centre.

Concerns around her appearance in her revival of Stephen Sondheim’s show were sparked after ticket sales were delayed until autumn.

A source close to Ariana’s camp confirmed to the Daily Mail at the time: ‘There’s no doubt she’s still doing it.’

Concerns were raised about whether Sunday In The Park With George was going ahead when ticket sales were halted earlier this summer

They added: ‘The show is still happening but ticket sales were pushed to September due to her touring and album release schedule.’

A source previously had told the Sun,: ‘Ariana has a lot on her plate and there are concerns she is over-subscribed.

‘It’s too risky to start flogging tickets until it’s all locked down. It will be a demanding production with eight shows a week.’

Ariana proved her acting chops after playing Glinda in the two-part film adaptation of Wicked, opposite Cynthia Erivo’s Elphaba.

She will also take to the small screen in the 13th series of American Horror Story.

Ariana appears to be shifting her focus to acting despite her current tour as she told fans: ‘I’m very excited to do this small tour. But I think it might not happen again for a long, long time.’

MP Carla Lockhart posted about the incident on social media saying that ’51 cattle were destroyed by shooting’ and that witnesses described scenes ‘like the Wild West’

Stormont Agriculture Minister Andrew Muir has ordered an external review of the killing of a number of cattle outside Fivemiletown, Co Tyrone.

The minister said he would engage with MLAs in relation to the intervention by his department.

DUP MP Carla Lockhart posted about the incident on social media saying that “51 cattle were destroyed by shooting” and that witnesses described scenes “like the Wild West”.

Ms Lockhart also said that “confidence in the department has taken a real hit because of the way this operation was handled”.

Chairman of Stormont’s agriculture committee, UUP MLA Robbie Butler, said he had written to the department “seeking urgent answers on the reasons for the cull, procedures followed, animal welfare assessment and other issues”.

Mr Muir recognised that animal welfare is an “important issue for the people of Northern Ireland”.

“I fully appreciate the concerns expressed following the euthanasia of cattle near Fivemiletown, undertaken following a court order,” he said.

“I want to reassure everyone that I and my chief veterinary officer take those concerns very seriously.

“Engagement with the UFU and the USPCA to hear their concerns is already planned and a review of the circumstances surrounding the intervention is also being taken forward.

“To provide assurance and ensure that the circumstances and context in which the actions of veterinary staff took place is more fully understood and any lessons for the future identified, I have now determined that this review must be taken forward by someone outside the department.

“We will very shortly publish the terms of reference and, once the review has been completed, will also make public the findings and recommendations and share these with the Assembly.

“I have also asked to meet the chair and deputy chair of the AERA Committee to set out the particular circumstances surrounding the intervention that took place and to outline the actions we are taking and I look forward to this engagement.”

Store assistants earn from £13.50 per hour as a starting wage

A major supermarket brand wants to open new stores in Cambridgeshire. Aldi is looking to secure sites for new branches amid an expansion in the UK.

Priority areas include South Cambridge, according to an Aldi spokesperson. The expansion will also create new jobs, with store assistants earning from £13.50 per hour nationally as a starting wage.

Jonathan Neale, managing director of national real estate at Aldi UK, said: “We know how important it is for people to have access to affordable, high-quality food close to where they live, which is why we’re focused on identifying the communities that would benefit most from a new Aldi store.

“Opening new stores in these areas means we can bring great value to more customers, while also creating jobs and offering industry-leading pay.”

The supermarket brand is investing more than £370 million in new stores this year. It is working towards a long-term target of 1,500 locations nationwide.

A spokesperson said: “Aldi is seeking freehold, leasehold or long leasehold sites in prominent locations with good visibility and access, and is encouraging landowners and agents in Cambridgeshire to come forward with suitable opportunities.”

Places are still available throughout the summer period for travellers to book a stay at a cosy and award-winning pod. While many parts of Wales are home to a variety of quaint scenes, rolling hills, and plenty of greenery, Snowdonia is frequently placed in high regard for such things.

Those looking to enjoy a relaxing few days away from home with their furry friends can book a stay at The Kites Nest from just £522 for two nights. The small wooden cabin is located at Pont-rhyd-y-groes near Pontrhydfendigaid, Snowdonia and was the Sykes Gem Awards 2025 Gold winner for ‘Best for Couples‘.

Even better, it was constructed by the award-winning firm My Shired, which has been featured on Channel 4’s George Clark’s Amazing Spaces, with the exterior being built with FSC-graded timber, including oak, larch, and red cedar.

The unique lodge also provides access to a private drive, giving easy access to the property’s private studio-style living space. While inside the property, visitors can make use of a variety of amenities, including a kitchen space, lounge area, and outdoor dining space.

The lodge is also in close proximity to Aberystwyth, which lets visitors explore a variety of pubs, restaurants, and shops. Aberstwyth is also has its own wonderful beach, which will be perfect to explore on days that the sun comes out this summer.

However, if you want to visit somewhere different, you could opt for a stay at Chestnuts at Youlton Lodge in North Yorkshire, with seven-night stays being offered from £860. Situated near the village of Tollerton, the holiday cottage can accommodate six guests with three bedrooms and is in close proximity to pubs and shops.

Or, you could visit Valley View Cottage in Llanfair Clydogau, which offers seven-night stays from £665 this summer. This single-story property is in a secluded rural area and provides a spacious balcony to take in the surrounding scenes.

Customers over at Sykes Cottages have awarded The Kites nest a five-star rating, with Sykes itself also providing a five-star rating. One happy customer who stayed at the lodge said: “We have just returned from the Kites nest and were absolutely overwhelmed with the generosity of Laurence and Julie, they are the most genuinely lovely people who’s obvious passion for the area and for making their guests feel totally at home and comfortable from the time you arrive to the time you leave.”

Another added: “Incredible beautiful stay will be back absolutely stunning.” A third said: “The hosts were faultless – very friendly, helpful, whilst they were always on hand they were non intrusive.”

A fourth added: “Superb. We loved it so much we instantly booked for two weeks next year!” While a fifth said: “”Fantastic place to stay, we had a wonderful 5 night stay.”

A sixth added: “The location is perfect, amazing views so peaceful.”

However, one customer noted a minor issue:”The cosiness of the cabin cannot be faulted – comfortable bed and sofa. The cleanliness was ok, a few spots missed – dirty shower tray on arrival, cupboard fronts slightly grubby and crumbs in the microwave. Location faultless – beautiful scenery & wildlife nearby. Cabin private from the owner’s house. Lovely walks nearby.”

Another said: “I missed not having a table nor oven. Bed exceptionally comfortable and lovely to have a warm bathroom. Outside space was delightful. Owners were very helpful and friendly.”

A three-year-old boy has been rushed to hospital with serious injuries after being hit by a van at a campsite.

An air ambulance was dispatched to Red House Farm in Earnley, near Chichester, after witnesses dialled 999 at around 7.30pm on Saturday.

Police have said the toddler was involved in a collision with a van.

The boy has now been taken to hospital for treatment after being seriously injured.

Sussex Police said no arrests have been made. A spokesperson for the force said officers are investigating the incident.

Footage of the incident shows a yellow helicopter departing the scene after landing in a nearby field.
