Broadcast live from London, the show promises to deliver juicy exclusives, behind-the-scenes gossip and big laughs. Expect live interviews direct from the Beach Hut, former Islanders serving up unfiltered takes from behind the bar, as well as the first exclusive interviews with dumped Islanders. WHO IS ASH HOLME? Ash is best known as a content creator, but she also appeared on one of the nation's biggest talent shows in 2017. Ash had an unprecedented run on British singing extravaganza The X-Factor in 2017. She originally auditioned with her group NQ, who made it to Boot Camp before being dropped from the show. But the star pulled off a rare move when she ditched her band for a new group. The singer, who was 21 at the time, was kicked off the show but returned to join Simon Cowell's imaginatively-named New Girl Band. NQ impressed the judges with their performance of Hey Mama before getting axed, but Simon said he wanted to bring Ash back. Ten Years of Love Island She looked slightly shell-shocked as she was led back on to the stage by host Dermot O'Leary after her group were cut from the show. After a quick rehearsal, Ash then performed with New Girl Band, before Simon asked her if she was willing to ditch NQ and join them instead. New Girl Band was put together by the media mogul just days earlier after all the girls were booted off the Boot Camp weeks earlier. He had once hoped they could be a female version of One Direction, but they didn't take off as he hoped. However, the group ended up getting knocked out at the Judges' Houses stage, with the contest being won by another Cowell outfit, Rak-Su. Ash is the current host of Bumble's My Love Is podcast. She featured in an episode of Channel 4's Get in the Van in 2023. Ash took part in series four of Footasylum Locked In, which started on November 1, 2023. The fortnight-long content creating contest on YouTube saw the cast of online celebs competing in various challenges to win the top prize of £10,000. Since 2023, Ash has also hosted her own successful podcast series Antics With Ash, which is available on Spotify, Apple, Deezer, Podchaser, YouTube and her Instagram. She has also partnered with huge brands like L'Oréal, Deliveroo and Amazon Prime. While Joe became a household name for kicking back in front of the TV on Gogglebox. He has since become popular for his podcast Not My Bagg, where he welcomes celebrities to spill the tea. The Sun can exclusively reveal Maya Jama's full squad for the summer includes a footballer, personal trainer and a series of stunning models. But their beauty is more than skin deep, as ITV2 has amassed a group with real kudos. Former fire-breather Sophie Lee has campaigned for real beauty since she was scarred for life when her act went disastrously wrong, whilst Alima Gagigo has a BA degree in international business. Love Island bosses will officially confirm the OGs today, with the series to kick off next Monday. 5 Maya Jama will be back hosting Aftersun Credit: Rex

Gogglebox star marries girlfriend after quitting Channel 4 show for politics
Ex-Gogglebox star, Josh Tapper, has married his girlfriend after nine years together. The 27-year-old TV star was previously on the Channel 4 show with his family, until 2017 when he left to begin a career in politics, working at the Cabinet Office. The news of Josh's wedding was shared by his sister, Amy, who took photos of the happy couple to Instagram and captioned it: "The New Mr and Mrs Tapper! No words to describe this incredible day from start to finish…" Adding: "I'd say welcome to the family @hannahtapper_ but you've been a part of it for 9 years now… this just means officially forever. "I love you both more than words will ever describe @joshtapper." Josh, along with his sister Amy and his parents, were part of the original Gogglebox lineup, first joining the show in 2013. In 2017, when Josh got a Civil service apprenticeship, he chose to leave the Channel 4 show. In 2022, Josh made the move to politics, sharing that he was running for a position as a Labour MP. The Gogglebox star was selected as the candidate for Hertsmere, taking to X, formerly Twitter, to share: "I'm thrilled and honoured to have been selected as Labour's parliamentary candidate for Hertsmere.

The election would have seen Josh take the seat of former Deputy Prime Minster Oliver Dowden, but the young candidate was defeated by 7,992 votes.
