Love Island viewers unimpressed and slam islander for ‘overusing joke’ – did you spot it?

LOVE Island has no shortage of tired sayings.

From “eggs in one basket” and “my type on paper” to “muggy” and “it is what it is”, there’s always a phrase or two that spreads through the villa like wildfire.

In last night’s launch show, new girl Shakira Khan, 22, didn’t shy away from the fact she shares a name with a very famous pop star, and even quoted lyrics from her famous hit on several occasions.

The repeated references to Colombian Shakira’s Hips Don’t Lie grated on viewers very quickly, and they’re fully expecting to hear it throughout the series.

One person complained on X: “i love shakira but the ‘hips don’t lie’ jokes need to GOOOOOO.”

Another said: “how many times are we gonna have to hear hips don’t lie shakira shakira ffs.”

A third vented: “Can we get some new material or is it just gonna be Shakira Shakira my hips don’t lie all summer.”

Shakira entered the villa first alongside Meg Moore, 25, and the two ladies quickly bonded.

Shakira set about telling Megan that she was “too glamorous for a 9-5” and must do something more exciting for a job.

Meg quickly put her straight, revealing she was in fact a payroll specialist which prompted Shakira to squeal that she was a “corporate girlie”.

While the comment might have sounded innocent to some, viewers at home were not impressed.

One user wrote: “not too glamorous for a 9-5, oh dear.”

Another person asked: “what does ‘too glamorous to do a 9-5’ even mean?”

Someone else agreed: “Too gorgeous to do a 9-5??? What does that mean?”

Shakira wasn’t the only one whose words had viewers cringing.

He then bragged that he didn’t have to pay for anything from the shop as his mum gave him everything for free.

Good Morning Britain chaos as host is forced to stop live segment that ‘can’t be broadcast’ and apologise

A GOOD Morning Britain anchor was forced to halt a live segment and promptly apologise during Tuesday’s episode.

Presenter Ranvir Singh, 47, who was fronting the news desk, staged a swift intervention during co-host and north America correspondent Noel Phillips‘ live broadcast from Los Angeles.

GMB’s North America correspondent Noel Phillips’ outdoor segment amid the LA riots was disrupted by ‘profanities’[/caption]

As the reporter attempted to outline the unfolding riots in the American city, a furious resident also appeared on screen shouting out swear words – which the camera clearly picked up.

Noel, who was clad in safety protection gear as rioters battled cops over immigration raids, then said: “I do apologise for language you are hearing, tensions are very high here.”

Good Morning Britain favourite Ranvir then cut in and addressed the “profanities” broadcast before she apologised.

She said: “I’m just going to interrupt that – I think we could hear some profanities going on near Noel.”

She continued: “Of course we can’t really broadcast this at 8.09am but we are going to try to get back to him,” before cutting the live broadcast and instead introducing a pre-recorded segment Noel had filmed on the standoff.

One fan was quick to flag the incident on social media and raged: “Nearly choked on my cornflakes! Never expected that bystander’s sweary rant on @GMB.”

Noel was hit by a rubber bullet yesterday while reporting on the riots.

Later in the show, he told how he was doing “much better than I was” after being pelted by the golf ball size device, which left a “huge wound.”

POTUS Donald Trump has sent 700 US Marines and another 2,000 National Guard troops to LA to defend the city from immigration raid riots.

Violent protests have spread across the US over the past 24 hours with lawless demonstrators arrested in California, New York and Texas.

The City of Angels has been engulfed in anarchy over the past four days as rioters have burned cars and battled with cops.

A defiant Trump has called for a quick end to the protests so he can enforce his immigration policy.

The President has claimed LA – a sanctuary city – has now been “invaded” by illegal immigrants.

He raged “If they spit, we’ll hit” after reports of masked rioters spitting in the face of cops emerged.

Good Morning Britain presenters

Current presenters:

  • Susanna Reid (presenters Monday to Wednesday and alternate Thursdays) – 2014 to present
  • Kate Garraway (presenters alternate Thursdays and Fridays) – 2014 to present
  • Ed Balls (presents on a rotating basis) – 2022 to present
  • Adil Ray (presents on Fridays) – 2024 to present 
  • Robert Rinder (presents on a rotating basis) – 2024 to present

Former presenters: 

Trump said: “I promise you they will be hit harder than they have ever been hit before.”

His latest call has seen the US Marines drafted in to help restore order.

The decision to bolster up LA’s police force was widely criticized by California’s leadership.

Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass insisted the federal troops only escalated the peaceful protests into riots on Sunday night.

It has been a chaotic week for GMB on-screen.

On Monday, show anchor Richard Madeley arrived on-set clad in an arm cast after fracturing his wrist twice while on holiday in France.

World’s most valuable players revealed as Jude Bellingham leapfrogs Erling Haaland… but lags behind Lamine Yamal

FOOTBALL’S most valuable superstars have been revealed.

This summer the Club World Cup has seen the creation of a unique transfer window format, with the shopping window open twice after a closure in the middle.

June 10 represents the end of the first stage of the window, before it reopens on June 16 and runs through to September 1.

And for any clubs looking to splash some serious cash on one of world football‘s best stars, figures from Transfermarkt have revealed the current top 10 most valuable players.

Kicking the list off at number 10 is the oldest player on the list, Federico Valverde.

The 26-year-old has been a top star for Real Madrid for a number of years and consequently he has a huge transfer value of £110million (€130m).

The midfielder is one of four Real Madrid Galacticos to be named on the list.

Three stars have an identical value of £118m (€140m) from nine down to seven, and are all 22 years of age.

Germany stars Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz both ply their trade in the Bundesliga for Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen, respectively, while Spain star Pedri plays for Barcelona in La Liga.

Pedri’s value has increased from £101m in the last edition of the figures in March, no doubt due to Barcelona’s league-winning campaign and semi-final Champions League run.

However, of the three, only Wirtz has been linked with a mega-money transfer away from his club, with Liverpool trying to find a middle ground with Bayer over a fee.

The Reds’ latest offer saw them submit an offer worth £113m, although that is still some way short of the £126m Erik ten Hag‘s new outfit want to sell.

The sixth player on the list is valued at £126m (€150m) and is the first English star to be named, Arsenal‘s Bukayo Saka.

The 23-year-old’s ability speaks for itself, and England saw how much they missed his flair and creativity against Andorra at the weekend.

Getting into the top five, Brazil superstar Vinicius Jr was previously the joint most expensive star on the list at £169m (€200m).

However, a disappointing season that left Real Madrid without a trophy saw his value decrease to £143m (€170m), which now ranks the 24-year-old ranked fifth.

Just above him is team-mate Kylian Mbappe, who despite having the same lack of silverware has actually seen his value increase to £152m (€180m).

That figure is identical to former Borussia Dortmund duo Erling Haaland and Jude Bellingham.

Manchester City ace Haaland, 24, was previously valued at £169m, but like Vinicius, suffered a slight reduction after seeing his club fail to win a major trophy.

Bellingham, 21, managed to escape the same fate and has remained on the £152m valuation.

However, those figures place the trio behind Barcelona prodigy Lamine Yamal.

Yamal is one of the front-runners for the Ballon d’Or as a result of his stellar season for his club.

He saw his value increase to now make the 17-year-old the single most expensive player in world football.

Yamal only recently signed a new contract with Barcelona that will see him earn £33.5m per year.

Cole Palmer narrowly missed out on the top 10 after seeing his value fall to £102m, putting him level with Declan Rice and Alexander Isak.

Former Crystal Palace star Michael Olise is now in the top 20 after seeing his value rise to £85m.

This matches Alexis Mac Allister and Phil Foden, the latter of whom has lost almost £25m in value.

Champions League winners Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia have gone up in value to now be worth £76m, with Ballon d’Or candidate Ousmane Dembele valued the same.

A gold suitcase was also found after police launched an appeal to help find the item, which they believe could further the investigation.

A 30-year-old man from Southsea was arrested on suspicion of murder while a 41-year-old man from Portsmouth was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary also announced that a gold suitcase had been found after they launched an appeal to help locate it.

The two men remain in police custody.

Two 32-year-old men previously arrested on suspicion of murder have been released on conditional bail until September 5.

The police unit’s Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Chief Inspector Jody Beresford said: “We understand that this incident is both shocking and devastating to all those who knew Samantha, and we are working tirelessly to establish the full circumstances.

“We would like to thank the community for their patience and understanding whilst we have been carrying out enquiries in the area.

“As part of our enquiries, we appealed for help in locating a gold suitcase. We can confirm this has now been found and we would like to thank everyone who contacted us with information.”
