OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Love Island’ host Maya Jama will be left in tears during Thursday night’s (04.07.24) Casa Amor recoupling episode, which has been extended.
ITV bosses are said to have made the episode longer to include all thrills and spills from what looks set to be a “dramatic” recoupling, when the ladies return from second villa Casa Amor.
A TV source told MailOnline: “Maya feels connected to the Islanders … she struggled to hide her emotion during filming of the Casa Amor recoupling.
“It was tough for her to see the reaction from some of the girls, who were shocked to discover the level of betrayal demonstrated by their partner.
“Some of the couples had been together for a significant number of weeks so it was particularly painful for those to reunite under different circumstances.
“It was one of the most dramatic Love Island episodes ever filmed, so much so, bosses had to extend the show.”
Viewers will have to tune in to find out who recouples with who, but the 29-year-old TV presenter’s reaction has sparked speculation that the episode will be full of post-Casa chaos.
Several Islanders who were in couples have kissed Casa newcomers since the villa girls headed over to Casa Amor.
Three of the female Islanders, Nicole Samuel, Mimii Ngulube, and Uma Jammeh have been sleeping outside on the Casa daybeds to show their loyalty to their partners back in the villa, but two of their men, Ayo Odukoya – who is coupled up with Mimii – and Wil Anderson, who is with Uma, have kissed other girls outside of challenges.
What’s more, Sean Stone shocked his fellow male Islanders on Wednesday night (03.07.24) when he shared a smooch with Diamanté Laiva, despite being coupled up with Matilda Draper.

OHMYGOSSIP — Spencer Matthews’s wife Vogue Williams thinks he’s “mad” for attempting to break a marathon world record.
The former ‘Made In Chelsea’ star, 35 – who has kids Theodore, five, Gigi, three, and two-year-old Otto with his model wife, 38 – will try to run 30 marathons across the Jordanian desert in 30 days in an effort to raise money for charity.
While failure is simply “not an option” for him, Spencer – who is aiming to break the Guinness World Record for the most consecutive marathons to ever have been run on sand – revealed Vogue was not impressed when he first told her of his plans.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror newspaper, he said: “My wife initially thought I was mad and found the whole thing to sound extremely dangerous.
“But Vogue understands my desire to push myself. If I said I was going to go off for 30 days every year she might be a bit peeved. If we succeed and raise a lot of money for great causes she’d obviously support that effort.”
While his wife isn’t overly thrilled about the dangers of his ‘Great Desert Challenge’, the podcaster insisted his children thought he was “cool” for attempting to overcome the herculean task, even if they were “too young to understand the dangers of it”.
He said: “My children are slightly too young to understand the dangers of it – they just think it’s cool Daddy’s going running in the desert for a while.”
Spencer chose to embark on this challenge and attempt to make it into the Guinness Book of Records, because his elder brother Michael died in 1999 aged 22, after becoming the youngest Brit to summit Mount Everest.
The TV star – who was 10 years old at the time of Michael’s death – said he was “quite keen to make [his] brother proud” with his ‘Great Desert Challenge’.
He reflected: “I looked up to Michael enormously. I grew up appreciating his adventurous spirit, it kind of lived on through me and I feel quite close to him when I put myself in sporting situations.”
Spencer has used the memory of his brother – who was presumed dead following a snowstorm on Everest, and his body was never found – to spur him on during previous marathon attempts.
He said: “In every ultra marathon I’ve ever done, when times have got tough and I’m on the verge of giving up, I think of him and even talk to him. It’s a nice feeling for me.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Dame Maureen Lipman is to go on a break from ‘Coronation Street’ later this year.
The 78-year-old actress portrays Evelyn Plummer on the ITV1 soap, but the star is to take a sabbatical and won’t return to Weatherfield until 2025.
A ‘Corrie’ spokesperson told Digital Spy: “Dame Maureen is taking a sabbatical from ‘Coronation Street’ towards the end of the year.
“We look forward to seeing her back on the cobbles in 2025.”
It comes as Maureen has landed the role of Mrs Potty in upcoming pantomime ‘Beauty and the Beast’ at the Richmond Theatre.
Maureen will appear alongside comedian and magician Pete Firman from December 7th to January 5th.
It’s not the first time the actress – who joined ‘Corrie’ full-time in 2018 – has taken a break from the cobbles.
In January 2021, Maureen took a ‘Corrie’ sabbatical until she received her coronavirus vaccination.
She said at the time: “Well it has been a time that I can’t personally complain about except on behalf of the people who have not been as fortunate.
“I continued in ‘Coronation Street’ after the first initial lockdown. I went back. I am still officially working on it except that I am taking a bit of sabbatical until I get my vaccination at the moment.”
Just a couple of days later, it was revealed Maureen’s husband Guido Castro had died aged 84.
She explained: “He got COVID – it wasn’t COVID that killed him but it weakened him terribly.”
Maureen, who was with her partner when he died, explained that he tested positive just days after receiving his vaccine jab, but she is unsure of when he contracted COVID-19.
She said: “We don’t know how he got it or when or if he had it when he got the vaccine.
“I said to Guido, ”It’s time to go. You’ve got to let go”. ‘And I think for once in his life he actually did what I told him.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Sydnie Christmas still hasn’t quit her job as a gym receptionist after winning ‘Britain’s Got Talent’.
After emerging from the ITV show’s 17th series as the victor last month, the 29-year-old singer is now gearing up to perform across the nation in a string of shows, but Sydnie has told how she is still yet to hand in her notice at her day job.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column, she said: “I did my audition and went back to work in the gym.
“Funnily enough, I am still on the rota. I need to go in for a meeting and say I definitely can’t work now.”
The singer – who is set to release her version of ‘Starlight Express’ later in July, and her debut album in September – will kick off her ‘My Way’ tour in Gateshead on October 5th, before playing at another 14 locations across the country, including London, Liverpool, Nottingham and Sheffield.
Sydnie is very excited to perform on stage in the UK, but thought she was going to be “someone’s warm-up” when she was initially pitched the tour.
She said: “When I got told about the tour, I thought I was just going to be someone’s warm-up.
“When they told me it was my tour, I was like, ‘Oh my God.’ ”
Sydnie also revealed entertainment mogul Simon Cowell had offered her some advice ahead of her nationwide performances.
She said: “He told me to choose my own path and to take control.”
Before winning ‘Britain’s Got Talent’, Sydnie worked in the industry singing on cruise ships and performing in musicals, and was left “heartbroken” after learning some viewers thought her victory on the contest show was a fix.
She told Metro.co.uk: “I’m new to all the attention. The fix rumours are just not true.
“Everything has been genuine and I’ve said my truth so saying it’s not is questioning me. There’s nothing that breaks my heart more than to see [the doubt].
“It’s soul-destroying but there’s nothing I can do to change their minds so I’ve had to separate myself.
“I’d love to speak to them but they are so angry so there’s nothing more I can do.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Gabby Logan has opened up about her sex life with husband Kenny, after he had his prostate removed.
Former rugby international Kenny, 52, was diagnosed with cancer in cancer in February 2022 and later had surgery and Gabby revealed she and Kenny decided to record a candid episode of ‘The Mid Point’ podcast, to inform people of the potential side effects, such as erectile dysfunction.
Gabby told ‘The Chris Evans Breakfast Show’ on Virgin Radio: “It’s Kenny and I talking frankly about what was going to happen.
“Because there is a big risk of functionality and not being there.
“‘Erectile function can be massively affected and it might not come back. Kenny was very lucky and eventually it did, but it took a while. His wife wasn’t as patient as she might have been.
“I think the reason why I wanted to talk about it candidly was because, of course, if you’ve been together with somebody for a long time, and that’s a big part of your relationship then it is something that is going to affect the dynamics.
“‘It’s huge. I’m trying not to use the wrong words. It’s huge. He was obviously wanting us to be the couple that we were before and obviously was facing up to this potential huge physical change.”
Kenny and Gabby have been married for over 22 years and have two children together and he previously spoke about the impact his illness and treatment had on him.
He told The Telegraph: “Whether it be my dyslexia, my relationship, IVF, we’ve always been quite open. So, I was quite happy to talk about erectile dysfunction and all these other things because I was like, ‘It is a symptom’.
“From a sexual point of view, it’s not consistent. As the surgeon said to me, this could take 18 months.
“Within a month, I was getting movement, where he says, ‘That’s amazing’. So it’s just not as consistent. The beauty is you can take a tablet and it changes things.”

When asked if they can spill any information on the new series by Heat magazine, Karen said: “They like to keep everything under wraps.

In the joint interview, Gorka added: “Is this year the Olympics? I think, probably we will have some Olympians for sure, like in 2016.”
Some names rumoured for this year’s ‘Strictly’ include Roman Kemp, Brooklyn Beckham and Lioness Jill Scott.
Giving his thoughts on the potential names, Gorak said: “Brooklyn Beckham? I would love his dad to do the show. David would be great.”
Karen added: “I love Roman Kemp. That would be cool. I think they’re going to go for it. It’s our 20th year, so they definitely have something up their sleeve.”
The next series is set to feature its first ever blind contestant, comedian Chris McCausland. His appearance comes three years after deaf ‘Emmerdale’ actress Rose Ayling-Ellis appeared on the show. The star went on to win the iconic Glitterball Trophy alongside professional dancer Giovanni Pernice.

OHMYGOSSIP — Louis Theroux has opened up about his struggle with alopecia and he worries that his hair loss will make him less attractive to his wife.
The 54-year-old documentary maker has been steadily losing hair due to the autoimmune disorder and he is getting increasingly anxious about his lack of locks as he knows his wife Nancy Strang – whom he has been married to since 2012 and has three sons, Albert, 14, Frederick, 11, and four-year-old Walter, with – cares about it.
Appearing on the ‘This Past Weekend’ podcast, he said: “It’s stressful. I care a bit because I think my wife cares. And the last thing I need is to be even less attractive to her.
“She is too good for me. She’s so much better looking than I am. But I was on TV when I met her, so it was adjusted. It was adjusted for celebrity.”
The ‘Forbidden America’ presenter can see the effects of his alopecia every time he looks in the mirror and his once luscious locks are rapidly thinning.
He shared: “I used to have a beard, and then I got alopecia. Yeah, my beard fell out. And my hair has gone thin. I have patches in my hair.
“It’s always there. It’s there when I look in the mirror. And if I touch my hair, I used to feel kind of thick, luscious locks, like gorgeous, just enjoyable. And then little holes appear.”
Louis can see some signs of recovery as his beard is growing back but the hair has returned white.
He said: “My beard, it’s coming back, but it’s white. I feel like one of those guys who’s seen a ghost, and their hair goes white and falls out.”
