'The bombshells aren't playing it safe though and their choices make for brilliant TV.' NEW BOMBSHELLS The Sun earlier revealed the four new bombshells who are fresh on Love Island The first is Giorgio Russo, who is football champion Alessia Russo's brother. The half Italian hunk is known as Gio and, just like his England Women's and Arsenal champion sis, he's big into his fitness. Yet his villa entrance may well mean he will miss Alessia's stint in the Women's Euro's 2025, which kicks off on July 2. The other lad is Will Means, who will be more than a rival for Gio in the gym. Sam Thompson takes swipe at Love Island's Harry as he claims he's worked out 'real reason' for his tears He competes in Hyrox world championship races and has even done an Ironman.

Former Sky presenter Dermot Murnaghan, 67, reveals stage 4 prostate cancer
Sky News presenter Dermot Murnaghan has revealed he has prostate cancer (Picture:for Sky News) Dermot Murnaghan, a former Sky News presenter, has revealed he has stage 4 prostate cancer. The broadcaster joined Sky in 2007 and presented a variety of news programmes over the years before leaving in February 2023. Taking to social media this morning, the 67-year-old wrote: 'Some personal news……I've been diagnosed with Stage IV advanced prostate cancer I'm fortunate to have a simply outstanding medical team looking after me, who I can't thank enough – they are administering the best possible care with expertise, compassion and sensitivity.' He continued: I'm responding positively to their excellent treatment, and feeling well. I'm blessed to be fortified by the monumental love and support of my wife, family and close friends. 'Needless to say my message to all men over 50, in high risk groups, or displaying symptoms, is get yourself tested and campaign for routine prostate screening by the NHS. 'Early detection is crucial. And be aware, this disease can sometimes progress rapidly without obvious symptoms. Details @ProstateUK @PCR_News.' Murnaghan concluded by saying he hopes to take part in Sir Chris Hoy's charity bike ride in Glasgow in September, asking his followers to donate and support if possible. The Olympic cyclist, 49, also has prostate cancer, having shared in October last year that his condition was terminal and he had two to four years to live.

Lauren Goodger's ex Charles Drury breaks his silence on if he'd ever get back together with the TOWIE star after pair sparked reunion rumours
's ex Charles Drury has broken his silence on if he'd ever get back together with the TOWIE star. Lauren, 38, shares daughter Larose, three, with Charles and tragically gave birth to their stillborn daughter Lorena in 2022 after she was born with her umbilical cord wrapped around her neck. Earlier this year Charles and Lauren sparked rumours they had got back together with a series of outings. But now Charles has appeared to set the record straight posting an update to his social media over the weekend. In a cryptic post on Instagram he said: 'In an ideal world it would've worked out but in a realistic world it never will...'. Charles didn't mention Lauren by name but isn't believed to be romantically involved with anyone else. Back in March Lauren enjoyed a dinner with her ex Charles and their daughter Larose as she took to Instagram to share a picture. Prior to that she had sparked rumours they had reunited after spending time together at the zoo and joining on a live TikTok. Fueling the speculation, Lauren and Charles headed out for dinner with her TOWIE co-stars Junaid Ahmed and Joe Blackman. On the day of Lorena's funeral, Charles was accused of attacking Lauren and they split soon after. Charles was then charged with assault and engaging in controlling or coercive behaviour towards Lauren, which he has denied. The case was dropped after Lauren withdrew her support for the case, which resulted in a not guilty verdict. Elsewhere, during their on-off relationship things weren't smooth sailing for the couple and Charles was also accused of cheating. Lauren recently admitted that she thinks she has 'ruined her looks' with plastic surgery. Earlier this year the TOWIE star, who shot to fame on the show when it first aired in 2010, revealed her plans to have her breast and bum implants removed this year. And speaking to The Sun last Tuesday, Lauren admitted the surgery she has undergone has left her thinking her body looks 'abnormal'. Lauren said she thinks her 'massive boobs and bum' have made her look bigger than she actually is and shared her plans to look like her old self again. The reality star expressed regret about getting the work done and insisted she plans to have all of it removed or reversed. Lauren said: 'I've ruined my looks with surgery - I hate my fake boobs and bum now. 'I feel like my body looks abnormal - I don't need these massive boobs and massive bum. She added: 'When I look at myself naked in the mirror, all I see is lumps and bumps everywhere.' In May, Lauren revealed she is having her 'heavy' breast implants removed and can't wait to go back to a 'natural look '. She admitted her breast were 'perfect' before although now they simply 'make her look big' while opening up about her breast-reduction journey on Instagram on Monday. The reality star shared on her Instagram page a snap posing in a sheer dusty pink baby doll, showing off her very ample assets. She wrote in the lengthy caption: '11 years ago I had a breast augmentation, one of the things I regret later in life. 'I had the perfect boobs .. they have been great over the years but since being a mum and breastfeeding for 1 year they have now changed and I've always found they make me look bigger! 'Also they are heavy and I don't like the idea of an implant being in me all these years and I miss my old boob so much.. so after looking around I've found someone that I feel really keen with having my consultation with @marksolomos. 'This is a HUGE step for me I've wanted to have them removed for so long but suffering with serve anxiety surgery is the last thing I can do ! Charles was then charged with assault and engaging in controlling or coercive behaviour towards Lauren, which he has denied Lauren finished: 'So it's early stages but I am bringing you a long with me! 'I'm terrified but also for health reasons I'm having implants removed and bring back more to my normal self wanting to reverse everything back to natural.' In March, Lauren shared a huge plastic surgery U-turn on finally having her implants removed after previously fearing death if she went under the knife again. She delayed getting her breast and Brazilian bum lift removed because she hated the thought of leaving her daughter Larose behind should anything go wrong.
