Ben from Love Island has a famous ITV star uncle who he parties with in Ibiza – and they look just like each other
LOVE Island star Ben Holbrough has a famous ITV reality star uncle - but can you guess who it is? The taxi driver and mode from Gloucester, 23, is in the villa hoping to find his dream woman. 4 But before heading into the villa, Ben would have likely got advice from his identical-looking reality TV star uncle. Have you guessed who it is yet? Ben's uncle is Warren Phillips, who starred on ITV's Survival of the Fittest 2018, presented by Laura Whitmore. 4 Survival Of The Fittest saw a group of hot young singles sent to the South African Savannah to take part in the ultimate battle of the sexes, involving mental and physical challenges. Throughout the series, the contestants have the opportunity to romance the opposite sex - but only at the expense of their team's chances in the competition. The 36-year-old was part of the Boys Team on series one. He ended up finishing in fifth place being a part of the runner-up team, alongside James, David & Tristan. Ben has previously shared snaps of him and Warren together on social media and the pair seem to have a pretty tight bond. In one photo, the lads showed off their muscular physiques by going topless for bathroom selfies in Ibiza. Another photo saw them hanging out with a group of mates at Wayne Lineker's famous beach club O Beach Ibiza. Ben appears to have turned it around after fans demanded he was axed for his brutal chat with Toni. He is now coupled up with Shakira. Last week fans ranted "get him out", after they claimed he was showing "scary red flag behaviour". Ben randomly got annoyed at a comment Toni made about the "prospect of the boys not being safe" when any male bombshells enter the villa. Things then escalated, when Ben admitted that he thought she gave him "ick". When Toni tried to ask him about this, he immediately got defensive and dismissive of her feelings. Things quickly turned sour and he told her: 'I don't feel like me and you have got that spark if I am being honest.' Looking taken aback Toni replied 'okay' as he continued: 'That is just me being honest but I know when I have got it with someone. That I feel it straight away. But yeah I don't feel like you and me have got it.' Toni then said: 'I mean I don't think that technique is going to work for you here.' He asked what she meant and she replied: 'Right away off the bat.' Smirking, he responded: 'You'd be surprised. I feel like sparks have already been made.' An unhappy Toni hit back: 'Good luck pal.' But Ben's bad attitude towards Toni, and also how he had snapped at her earlier in the episode, has not gone down well with viewers, with some claiming this is a "red flag". There were even calls for him to be removed from the villa. Taking to X/Twitter, one said: "What is Ben's problem? Can't be dealing with this guy for next two months get him out!" While another added: "Ben's an insufferable man child. hope the next make bombshell sends him packing." 4

To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Dani Dyer has shared an emotional video from her wedding to Jarrod Bowen featuring a touching clip of her father-daughter dance with Danny Dyer. The Love Island star, 28, tied the knot with West Ham ace Jarrod, 28, over the weekend in a lavish ceremony at the five-star Langley Hotel in Buckinghamshire. It has been reported that the couple, who began dating in 2021, kept things low-key with only their closest friends and family attending the nuptials. Taking to Instagram after saying 'I do', Dani gave her followers an insight into the big day in a video created by Evieradfordsocials. It begins with the Survival Of The Fittest star getting glammed up, slipping into her stunning off-shoulder white gown, which reportedly cost £10,000. We are then treated to the moment Danny first saw his daughter in her dress, planting a kiss on her cheek. The EastEnders star walks his eldest daughter down the aisle, before sitting down, beaming from ear to ear, to watch the couple tie the knot. It's clear the day was filled with love, with beautiful clips of guests laughing,congratulating the newlyweds, and Dani and Jarrod sharing an intimate moment with their two-year-old twins, Summer and Star, and Dani's son Santiago, four, on the dancefloor. We don't get to hear any of Danny's speech, but we can see one raucous moment where the entire room is spinning napkins above their heads for reasons unknown. The video also sees Dani and Danny hit the dancefloor for a traditional father-daughter dance, which sees Danny wrap his arms around Dani's shoulders and plant a kiss on her head. It ends with Dani slipping out of her flowing gown and into a shorter white lace number for the reception, filled with dancing, champagne, and pizza for attendees to tuck into. She wrote in the caption: 'The best day of my entire life and a day that I will want to re live forever🤍.' Fans have taken to the comment section to share their congratulations with the happy couple, with fellow Love Island star Georgia Steel calling it 'the most magical day.' 'So beautiful! I wanna know what your dad's speech was like 😂❤️,' Shanyloublog commented – and she isn't the only one. Danny shared a simple row of heart emoji on the post, with fans quickly flocking to ask him to share his speech while saying how 'proud' he looked. Skyesteadmanx added: 'That brought a tear to my eye , how beautiful.' Many said how 'stunning' the bride was, while attendees gushed how 'perfect' the day was. Victoria_plumx joked: 'Absolutely stunning. In the words of your dad from my fav movie ' NICE 1 BROVAA' 😂 xx,' quoting a line from Human Traffic in which Danny starred as Moff. More Trending 'It all looks absolutely beautiful and a lovely colour scheme . Love it when your Dad and the bridesmaids all finally see your stunning wedding dress ! Wishing you both lots of love and happiness !' Helspels66 commented. Ahead of the big day, Dani opened up to Heat magazine about wedding planning being the 'most stressful experience ever.' 'I have finally done my table plans now. Until you are in there writing names out, making sure you have tables of 10, it's the most stressful experience ever – that's the only thing I've not enjoyed,' she said. She also revealed she would take on a double-barrel surname, continuing: 'I am going to keep the Dyer – I am going to do Dani Dyer-Bowen just because of my work. I feel like if I am Dani Bowen, it takes that thing away from me. We are double-barrelling it.' Got a story?

Inside Dani Dyer's lavish wedding to footballer Jarrod Bowen
Dani Dyer and Jarrod Bowen have said 'I do' in front of a close knit group of their nearest and dearest in a lavish wedding ceremony. The Survival Of The Fittest contestant, 28, and football star, 28, got engaged in July 2024 when Jarrod popped the question during a romantic break to Ibiza. The couple confirmed their relationship three years prior before welcoming twin daughters in 2023. Dani shared a glimpse into the big day on her Instagram page, posting a picture of herself hand-in-hand with her new husband walking down the aisle. The Love Island star stunned in a jaw-dropping £10,000 off-the-shoulder dress by Suzanne Neville, while the West Ham ace donned a sophisticated three-piece black suit for the outdoor ceremony. A second snap showed the couple sharing a smooch in front of a pristine white backdrop and matching floral arrangements, coordinating with the bride's lavish gown. She captioned the post 'The Bowen's🤍', with Dani and Jarrod's famous pals rushing to congratulate the pair. Dani's famous dad, Danny Dyer, shared her post to his Instagram Stories, while also reposting an adorable shot gazing lovingly at his grandchildren. The couple's two-year-old twin daughters, Summer and Star, were flower girls, while Dani's son Santiago, four, and brother Arty, 11, took on the role of page boys. Danny can be seen watching the twin girls dressed in beautiful white dresses, and Santiago in dapper black trousers and a white shirt. The Mirror reports the couple went for a pastel colour scheme at the £500-a-night Langley Hotel in Buckinghamshire, where the nuptials took place. The luxury hotel boasts 150 acres of formal gardens and parklands originally designed by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown, a spa and gym, indoor and outdoor pools, fine dining options and cocktail bars, and opulent suites. An onlooker told the publication: 'The marquee is the biggest I've ever seen. I've never seen anything like it – and we've had Sheikhs get married here. They spent days building it. 'It's all been very civilised so far, but we'll see if that continues as the night goes on. They've had Angelina Jolie stay and Tom Cruise landing in his helicopter. Jeff Goldblum also stayed here for months while filming a Jurassic Park film at nearby Pinewood Studios.' Mail Online reports that Dani's younger singer Sunnie, 18, gave an emotional speech on the big day, sharing a poem from the iconic Sex and The City wedding scene. It goes: 'His hello was the end of her endings. Her laugh was their first step down the aisle. His hand would be hers to hold forever. His forever was as simple as her smile. He said she was what was missing. She said instantly she knew. She was a question to be answered. And his answer was 'I do'.' They kept the ceremony and reception low-key, reportedly inviting 50 of their nearest and dearest to celebrate their big day. Dani was walked down the aisle by EastEnders star Danny, with a source claiming his wife Jo made him keep his speech PG. An insider told The Sun: 'Danny and Jo were very emotional about Dani getting married. She was their first born and she was there through all the highs and lows. 'They couldn't be more proud, and they love Jarrod like a son. Danny walked her down the aisle. Jo joked that they should both do it, but they're keeping it traditional. 'Jo made sure Danny's speech wasn't outrageous.' Ahead of the big day, Dani opened up to Heat magazine about wedding planning being the 'most stressful experience ever.' More Trending 'I have finally done my table plans now. Until you are in there writing names out, making sure you have tables of 10, it's the most stressful experience ever – that's the only thing I've not enjoyed,' she said. She also revealed she would take on a double-barrel surname, continuing: 'I am going to keep the Dyer – I am going to do Dani Dyer-Bowen just because of my work. I feel like if I am Dani Bowen, it takes that thing away from me. We are double-barrelling it.' Before saying 'I do', Dani enjoyed a boozy hen do in Ibiza with her closest pals, while Jarrod jetted off to Las Vegas for his stag do. Danny left Dani in dismay on a recent episode of their podcast, in which he joked there would be strippers on the lads break. Got a story?
