I have found the connection that I was looking for. And so, I feel like it’s the right moment to tell you that I genuinely love you.”
Elsewhere in the episode, Paige and Adam set sail on a boat across the island of Mallorca, where Adam said that the 24-year-old paramedic that she had brought out “the best version” of him and Paige told the personal trainer, 26, that he was the only person she could “see this working with in the outside world.”
As the rest of the Islanders went on their final dates of the series, Dami asked Indiyah to be his girlfriend.
He asked her: “I know you are my girl… but will you be my girl…friend?'”

‘Love Island’ airs at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub.
Episodes are available the following morning on BritBox.

OHMYGOSSIP — Krysten Ritter is to star in a new ‘Orphan Black’ spin-off.
The ‘Jessica Jones’ star has signed up for the lead role in ‘Orphan Black: Echoes’ – a new series set within the world of the original which featured Tatiana Maslany as a woman who discovers she is one of a number of genetically identical clones.
A description of the new series states: “Set in the near future, the new Orphan Black takes a deep dive into the exploration of the scientific manipulation of human existence. It follows a group of women as they weave their way into each other’s lives and embark on a thrilling journey, unravelling the mystery of their identity and uncovering a wrenching story of love and betrayal.”
Krysten plays Lucy and the character is described as “a woman with an unimaginable origin story, trying to find her place in the world”. The actress has also taken on an executive producer role on the show.
‘Orphan Black’ ran for five seasons before coming to an end in 2017 and the show’s co-creator John Fawcett is returning to direct the 10-episode spin-off.
He said in a statement: “Embarking on a new saga of Orphan Black … could not be more exciting. For all our dedicated OB fans out there, I am thrilled that we can bring this new chapter to them. Without our fans, this new show certainly wouldn’t exist and for that I am deeply grateful. I can’t wait to ‘follow the crazy science’ for them!”
‘Orphan Black: Echoes’ is slated for release in 2023.

OHMYGOSSIP — ITV are to “sit down and review” the “reaction” to this year’s ‘Love Island’ after 5,000 complaints were made to Ofcom in the past two weeks.
The channel’s boss Kevin Lygo has vowed to look at “how well” the ITV2 dating show – which is hosted by Laura Whitmore – “has done” this year, after some viewers complained to the UK’s communications regulator over alleged misogynistic behaviour from some of the male Islanders.
When asked about the number of complaints the show has attracted this year, and whether there will be an editorial review into the programme, he said at a media briefing for ITV’s interim financial results: “We continually assess a programme as it is going on because it is one of these odd every night live sort of shows.
“But when the series comes to an end on Monday, we will always sit down and review what we think about it, what the reaction has been, how well it has done.”
But Kevin admitted ITV are “very happy” with the way this year’s series has gone, and insisted it is “the best one we have had in many years”.
He added: “And we have to say this year, remember, it is the best one we have had in many years and I think everyone is thoroughly enjoying it.
“To get five million people to watch a show every night at nine o’clock is extraordinary in the modern era, so something is being done right.
“But you are right, we must always look to improve and work on what we have done. But we are very happy with the way it has gone so far.”
Kevin’s comments come after The End Violence Against Women (EVAW) Coalition joined Women’s Aid and Refuge in calling out “misogynistic and abusive behaviour” on ‘Love Island’.
A series of tweets on the EVAW Coalition page recently read: “#LoveIsland is a cultural phenomenon, reaching millions of young people across the country. We join @WomensAid @RefugeCharity and viewers in calling out the unchecked misogynistic and abusive behaviour we see year after year
“From TV shows to the news, the media has a massive influence on our collective attitudes to sex and relationships.
It also has an important role to play in challenging harmful beliefs and behaviours rather than perpetuating them
“Popular culture has the power to create positive change and help build a world where abuse is no longer tolerated.
“With countless former #LoveIsland contestants speaking out about the endless racist and misogynistic abuse they face online, change has never been more needed”
It comes after domestic abuse charity Women’s Aid told how they were in talks with ITV about the latest series of ‘Love Island’ after viewers accused some of the Islanders of “misogyny” and “controlling behaviour”.
Domestic abuse charity Refuge have also voiced concerns about the current series.

OHMYGOSSIP — Declan Donnelly served as a pallbearer at his brother’s Mass on Thursday (28.07.22).
The ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ presenter helped carry his late sibling Father Dermott Donnelly’s coffin at the Catholic service at Newcastle’s St. Michael’s Church – the same venue where he married wife Ali Astall – ahead of his burial on Friday (29.07.22).
A close friend of Dermott’s recently revealed a suspected brain bleed was the cause of death.
Father Peter Kyi Maung, who served with Dermott at St Joseph’s Church in Stanley, Co. Durham, recently said: “He was hardly breathing in the bed, it was so sad.
“They think he had bleeding on the brain. Declan had come to be with him and their mum was there as well, I saw her at the hospital and it was so hard for her, a mother seeing her dying son.
“When she hugged me, I knew how much she was suffering.”
Dermott – who was ordained 30 years ago – was believed to have been carrying out community work when he complained about a headache and later collapsed.
He was rushed to North Durham hospital and Declan travelled from London to be with him.
However, his death was announced in a statement from the diocese of Hexham and Newcastle.
The statement said: “It is with great sadness that we have to inform you of the death of Fr Dermott Donnelly, who died peacefully this afternoon in hospital.
“This has come as a great shock to all of us. Please pray for the repose of his soul and keep his family, especially his mother, in your prayers at this difficult time.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Nadiya Bychkova will rescue her family from Ukraine “as soon” as she gets the opportunity.
The ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ pro finds it “difficult” that people she knows and loves – such as her father, grandparents and many friends – are still in her home country, which is currently suffering following an unprovoked invasion by Russia.
The 32-year-old dancer told MailOnline: “I think we’re all affected by it. I still have my father there and my grandparents, a lot of friends, it’s a very tough subject to talk about. It’s so difficult.”
Nadiya – who was last partnered up with broadcaster Dan Walker on the BBC One Latin and ballroom competition – admitted Russian violence has plagued her loved ones since 2014, following President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Crimea.
She said: “The war has been going on since 2014 when my family was involved all the time so it’s been very long for me.”
Nadiya is still “in touch” with everyone directly impacted by the violence – that has led to more than 10,000 recorded casualties and created 9.1 million refugees – and revealed they are still “safe”.
She said: “I’m in touch with them and I help as much as I can. I couldn’t get my father and my grandmother anywhere close to me but they’re there and they’re safe at the moment so as soon as I will get the chance to get them I’ll do that.”
The star is in a relationship with her fellow ‘Strictly’ pro Kai Widdrington.
The pair confirmed their romance in April, with Nadiya saying they been together “for a couple of months now”.
Nadiya – who has five-year-old daughter Mila with her ex Matija Skarabot – said: “It’s early days and we’ve been rehearsing for the Strictly Professionals tour, so there’s been very little free time. But we’re getting to know more and more about each other day by day. He’s kind and compassionate and makes me laugh. I feel very relaxed with him.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Liz Truss is “completely horrified” by ‘Love Island’.
The UK Foreign Secretary – who is currently vying to replace Boris Johnson as Prime Minister – could only hack watching the ITV2 reality dating competition for “10 ten minutes”.
The 47-year-old politician made the admission during the first of 12 Conservative leadership hustings – where she went up against her rival for the top spot, Rishi Sunak – in Leeds.
After being asked if the programme needed “reining in” following thousands of complaints of “misogynist bullying”, Liz told the crowd on Thursday night (28.07.22): “All I can say is that I watched it for 10 minutes with my teenage daughter and I was completely horrified and I turned it off.”
The politician has two teenage daughters – Frances, 16, and Liberty, 13 – with her husband Hugh O’Leary, and when it was put to if her daughter was “equally horrified,” she replied: “Unfortunately not”.
The latest ‘Love Island’ series has been the subject of a storm of allegations about abusive behaviour by some of the male contestants towards the girls. An episode that aired on 17 July – which featured the Islanders seeing videos of each other engaging in possibly bad behaviour, an evening nicknamed ‘Mad Movies’ – was subject to 2,481 complaints. That week the show received a total of 3,617 complaints.
Domestic abuse charity Women’s Aid has spoken out about the show’s responsibility to teach about the importance of teaching “acceptable and unacceptable” dynamics in relationships.
A spokesperson said: “This is clearly more than talking about any individual contestants, and a programme based around the formation of romantic relationships must have guidelines on what behaviour is acceptable and unacceptable in those relationships.”
The organisation confirmed they were in talks with the producers to address “issues and concerns”.

OHMYGOSSIP — Ryan Moloney’s post-‘Neighbours’ job plans have been foiled by coronavirus.
The 42-year-old star trained to be a commercial pilot years ago just in case the soap was ever axed, but after the programme aired its final-ever episode in Australia on Thursday (28.07.22) – ahead of the ep airing in the UK on Channel 5 tonight (29.07.22) – Ryan doubts he will get a job flying planes now, because the COVID pandemic left lots of “really skilled pilots” looking for work.
He said: “My initial backup pan was [being] a commercial pilot.
“So I got my commercial pilot’s license and then, obviously, Covid – and now there’s a bunch of really skilled pilots in the world who are out of work.
“So I don’t think I’ll get a gig there!”
But Ryan has wasted no time in lining up a new career, with the star revealing he is to start a civil construction course and learn how to drive trucks and excavate.
Speaking on ‘Good Morning Britain’, he added: “I also do a bit of beekeeping as well, so I’ve got a few hives to do honey and all that kinda jazz.
“But I’m actually just about to start civil construction as well.
“So, I’m going to do what every little boy dreams of and go and learn how to drive trucks and excavate and dig big holes!”
The ‘Neighbours’ finale saw the return of former stars Guy Pearce and Kylie Minogue, among others, and as a result the soap won the TV ratings in its home country for the first time in more than a decade, according to website TV Blackbox.
Channel 10 and channel 10 Peach – which the ep was simulcast on – saw 873,000 metro viewers across both.

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Home and Away’ has paid tribute to ‘Neighbours’.
The Australian soap took to social media to praise “the amazing cast and crew” of their rival show, after the last ever episode of the programme – which began in 1985 – aired Down Under.
Home and Away’s official Twitter account posted on Thursday (28.07.22): “Hats off to the amazing cast and crew at Ramsay Street for an epic 37 years. @neighbours will forever be an iconic part of Australian television history.
“From everyone here in the Bay, massive respect and admiration for you all.”
In response, the ‘Neighbours’ account quote tweeted the post, and added: “Big love to Summer Bay [yellow heart emoji].”
The finale – which is airing on Friday (29.07.22) in the UK at 9pm on Channel 5 – will see some big names return to the soap, including Kylie Minogue, Guy Pearce and Margot Robbie.
Lynne McGregor – who brings to life Irene Roberts on ‘Home and Away’ – also shared her “love” to ‘Neighbours’.
The 69-year-old actress tweeted: “A huge shoutout to all the #Neighbours cast and crew. Past and present. Chookas for the future and thanks for the memories.
“I’m in the UK atm so will miss ( or have missed) the finale, but will be sure to check it out when I return. Biggest love from a fellow #AussieSoap person. (sic)”
‘Neighbours’ was announced to be ending earlier this year after producer Fremantle failed to find a new home for the Channel 5 programme.
Stefan Dennis – who played Ramsay Street’s resident baddie businessman Paul Robinson since the show’s inception – recently defended the network’s decision to pull the plug on ‘Neighbours’ admitting it was just an “economic” decision.
The 63-year-old actor said: “It’s just an economic decision, and in business, that’s what happens. That happens in business every single day.
“If a show can’t get the income for the outgoings, then of course, no business is going to hang onto that. It doesn’t matter how sentimental.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Gladiators’ looks set to be rebooted, more than 30 years after it began.
The popular sports game show – which saw members of the public go up as Contenders against the resident Gladiators – first hit screens on ITV in 1992 and ran for eight seasons before its 2000 end.
Each episode – which was presented by the likes of Ulrika Jonsson, John Fashanu and Jeremy Guscott over the years – saw four people go up against the mighty Gladiators, who had past lives as professional bodybuilders and gymnasts.
The news of the revamp was first shared by Broadcast, who reports that the show looks set to air on the BBC and be brought to life by MGM Studios and Hungry Bear, the production company founded by ‘This Morning’ presenter Holly Willoughby’s husband Dan Baldwin.
According to the television trade publication, ‘Gladiators’ is expected to commence filming at Sheffield Arena next year, implying there may be a live audience component added to the programme.
In 2008, the show was resurrected for two seasons on Sky One, including three episodes that saw the new generation of Gladiators go up against some of the original lineup. International editions have also sprung up in countries such as Australia, the United States, Finland and South Africa.
It’s not clear who will present the new edition, but Ulrika was recently back on screens during her stint on dating show ‘Celebs Go Dating’.
She said at the time: “But when dating It’s a weird thing when they know more about you then you know about yourself and they’re telling you about yourself.
“There is an imbalance there and you basically want to find somebody who’s not phased by who you are, who just treats you like a normal person so you’re on an even playing field.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Love Island’s Andrew Le Page is looking like “son-in-law material”, according to her girlfriend Tasha Ghouri’s dad.
The 27-year-old real estate agent has been handed some huge praise by his potential future father-in-law Tarek Ghouri, who was left impressed by the way Andrew described his 23-year-old daughter’s cochlear implant – which allows her to hear – to their pretend child during the ITV2 show’s baby challenge.
Tarek wrote on Twitter: “Andrew is looking more and more like son in law material “The fire pit is very special… your mum told me about her super power, her super power being that she has an implant that makes her able to hear.
“She’s very, very special and very, very brave and with this implant” (sic)”
Tarek recently revealed he put a “letter of support” in Tasha’s bag before she left for ‘Love Island’, and admitted he had been “blown away” by how well she has “conducted herself” on the show.
He said: “She does have a letter in her bag from me that she can get out at any time during the show when she needs some support, and if she needs it she will pull it out, for sure. I am blown away with how she’s conducted herself – she’s conducted herself in such a good way.
“The way she approached her hearing and explained to people about the cochlear implant was absolutely fantastic and a big moment of pride for me.”
During her introduction on the show, the dancer described her disability as a “superpower” and Tarek gushed about how proud he is of Tasha for accepting herself and speaking up for others.
Andrew and Tasha have had an up and down time in the villa, being put up for several dumpings, and they both came back with different partners after Casa Amor.
But the couple – the first of the pairings to become official boyfriend and girlfriend during this year’s series – have rallied and are now second favourites to win this year’s series.
However, the pair have a tough ask to win this year’s finale, which airs on Monday (01.08.22), due to Davide Sanclimenti and Ekin-Su Culculoglu being hot favourites to take home the show’s £50,000 prize.
‘Love Island’ airs at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub. Episodes are available the following morning on BritBox.
The dating reality show can be seen in Ireland on Virgin Media Two and Virgin Media Player.

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Love Island’ stars Antigoni Buxton and Jacques O’Neill are “just friends”.
That’s according to former Islander Jay Younger – who was dumped from the island earlier this month – who has responded to speculation that the pair might be getting close after they were spotted walking arm-in-arm together on a night out this week.
The 28-year-old former bombshell told OK! magazine: “They’re just friends,” before reminiscing about a night out where the 23-year-old rugby player FaceTimed the 26-year-old musician.
Jay said: “I was on a night out with Antigoni two weekends ago and Jacques FaceTime’d, but it was more of a friendly chat.”
He added: “It wasn’t like that … They’re just pals.”
Antigoni had to leave the villa in Majorca after Danica Taylor opted to couple with Jay, despite a blossoming frisson between the blonde singer and him.
Jacques departed the villa because he wasn’t feeling himself on the show, and said he would wait for Paige Thorne, 24, who is currently still in the villa and coupled up with 26-year-old personal trainer Adam Collard, who previously competed on the programme in 2018.
Jacques had clashed with Adam after his arrival in the villa, and following his show exit the star admitted he “just wanted to get out” of the situation.
He said: “At home, you can remove yourself from situations, but in there you had to deal with every situation, and in that moment I took my microphone off, and walked straight through the front doors because I just wanted to get out of that place.
“Producers tried coming to me, they were like, ‘Jacques, are you OK?’, I was saying, ‘I don’t want to speak to you or anyone. I want to be left to myself’. It was too much.
“I was saying to them, ‘This is more than a TV show to me’, it was genuine feelings involved and my head space wasn’t right to be in a TV show.
“I dealt with stuff in there that I’ve never dealt with in my life.”
