Love Island fans can’t believe the age gap between Shakira and Harry as they can’t keep their hands off each other

LOVE Island fans are stunned after realising the age gap between Shakira Khan and Harry Cooksley. 

In tonight’s episode of Love Island, things continued to heat up between model Shakira and semi-professional footballer Harry

But fans had a strong reaction after realising the age gap between them
Eroteme

But as they explored their potential romance, viewers took to social media to share their thoughts on the fact Shakira is 22 while Harry is 30. 

One wrote: “Shakira is 22???  Get her away from Harry and his 30 year old ass immediately!!”

Someone else said: “I just deeped the age gap with Shakira and Harry…” 

And another commented: “Harry and Shakira look good together but he is 30.”

But the age gap doesn’t seem to be an issue for Harry and Shakira, who made their attraction to each other very clear. 

Last night Harry found himself caught up in the brutal first dumping of the series

During the first recoupling, Shakira picked Harry – meaning Sophie Lee was left single and immediately sent packing. 

But fans are convinced that Shakira isn’t into Harry and actually has her eye on Blu Chegini. 

Many insisted that she only picked Harry so her pal Helena Ford wouldn’t be sent home

One fan wrote: “Shakira well wanted to pick Conor but didn’t wanna send Helena home and for that I kinda respect it.

“But also she’d suit Conor well better.”

Another viewer added: “No way she picked Harry for any reason other than she wanted the other women to stay… I simply don’t believe it.”

Race Across The World winners revealed as pair admit they failed to keep BBC show victory secret

IT was a tense sprint to the finish line in tonight’s finale of Race Across The World.

The final episode followed the pairs travelling from Goa, India, to the southernmost tip of India, Kanniyakumari, 1000km away.

But after a 51-day cross-continent race, it was mother and son duo Caroline and Tom who took home the £20,000 prize. 

The pair, who were leading the race from its fifth episode earlier this month, beat brothers Melvyn and Brian, sisters Elizabeth and Letitia and young couple Fin and Sioned to the finish point. 

And it was an emotional moment for the duo, as mum Caroline broke down in tears on the big reveal that the all-important guest book was empty on their arrival.

Celebrating their win, Caroline broke down in tears in emotional scenes, telling her son: “We must never doubt ourselves, ever, ever, ever again.”

Tom added: “I’m lost for words, I can’t believe it.

“Fifty one days racing through countries I never thought I’d go to.

“I never thought we’d come this far, I never thought we’d achieve so much, and I’ve never been prouder of my mum – she got me through it.”

Caroline and Tom were closely followed by sisters Elizabeth and Letitia, who arrived at the finish line just shy of 20 minutes later.

Forty five minutes behind the winners, Fin and Sioned arrived in third place, while brothers Brian and Melvyn took a further three hours to reach the end.

On their way home from the series, the duo revealed that while they had sworn themselves to secrecy about winning the cash, it didn’t take long to spill the beans.

Caroline revealed: “[We told] my husband, in the car on the way home – we couldn’t hide it!”

Tom added: “We had made a pact on the plane not to tell anybody, but within minutes of seeing him we let that one go, it was so hard to keep it in.”

However, the mother and son duo still haven’t decided what they’re going to do with the cash.

Tom concluded: “I haven’t really thought about what I’m doing with the money yet.

“I don’t want to be stupid and waste it. Mum and I want to go backpacking again, so some of it will be used for that.”

The reunion episode of Race Across The World airs June 18 at 9pm on BBC One and you can catch up on all episodes on BBC iPlayer.

Love Island viewers beg producers to add subtitles as they struggle to understand ‘mumbling’ boy

LOVE Island viewers have called for subtitles to be added to the show as they struggle to understand one of the islanders.

Ben – a private hire taxi driver and model from Gloucester – has raised eyebrows for mumbling his way through various conversations.

One person moaned: “I need subtitles to understand Ben he’s so mumbly.”

A second said: “Can we have subtitles for Ben while he decides on what accent he will be using.”

While a third added that it wasn’t just Ben they couldn’t hear, writing: “Why do so many men mumble nowadays? You’re not emasculating yourself by opening your mouth more when you speak.”

Another said: “Lived in England my whole life and I don’t understand some of these accents.  Where’s the subtitles.”

In tense scenes on tonight’s Ben calls it quits with Toni after admitting she gave him the ‘ick’ after her reaction to Sophie Lee being sent home.

It quickly turns sour and he tells her: “I don’t feel like me and you have got that spark if I am being honest.”

Looking taken aback she replies ‘okay’ as he continues: “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 tells him: “I mean I don’t think that technique is going to work for you here.”

He asks what she means and she replies: “Right away off the bat.”

Smirking, he responds: “You’d be surprised. I feel like sparks have already been made.”

A very unhappy Toni hits back:  “Good luck pal.”

Love Island fans beg bosses to axe islander after ‘cruel’ comment to one girl

LOVE Island fans have begged bosses to axe Ben Holbrough after his cruel comment to Toni Laites on tonight’s show.

ITV2 viewers were left open-mouthed when Ben told some of his fellow Islanders that US Toni had given him the “ick”.

It came after he snapped at her when she told him to “not make it all about himself”.

He then told Shakira in the kitchen that Toni had given him the “ick” and that there was no spark between them.

After Shakira told Toni what Ben had said, the Connecticut based beauty pulled Ben aside for a chat, where he brutally ended their romantic connection.

But those watching at home were gobsmacked at his brutal approach and have begged for him to be axed next.

One wrote: “Ben is a loser, get him off Love Island.”

A second posted: “Ben is unnecessarily cruel, it’s giving negging & all the red flags.”

A third said: “I feel so bad for Toni, Ben is VILE.”

“I wish I could vote Ben off right now,” a fourth commented.

The fallout came after Ben admitted she gave him the ‘ick’ after her reaction to Sophie Lee being sent home.

As the Islanders are still reeling about Shakira Khan choosing Harry Cooksley, Toni said: “Boys, it’s your turn, just saying – I don’t think you’re gonna be safe.”

Ben replied: “Are you saying me in particular?”

Toni added: “No it’s about boys, not everything is about you.”

Her comments didn’t go down well with Ben and he walked off – leaving the others surprised by his reaction. 

Meg later told him: “That was a bit much…I don’t get what she said that was really offensive?”

Ben replied: “She said, ‘Not everything is about you…’ I just got the ick.”

Ben then told Shakira he’d got the ick with Toni and Shakira lets Toni know about this and suggests she pulls him for a chat.

Toni does exactly that and asks Ben: “I’ve heard from people you said I’m giving you the ick?”

It 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 she 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 told him: “I mean I don’t think that technique is going to work for you here.”

He asked what she means and she replied: “Right away off the bat.”

Smirking, he responded: “You’d be surprised. I feel like sparks have already been made.”

A very unhappy Toni hits back:  “Good luck pal.”

Ben asked Shakira to join him in the Hideaway for a chat, where he admitted he fancied her.

Buy-now-pay-later Reeves is bribing voters with baubles as Labour’s debt clock racks up and up

GOODBYE the Iron Chancellor, hello the Klarna Chancellor.

Rachel Reeves’ spending splurge yesterday may have some eye-catching purchases. But it’s buy now, pay later as Labour racked up the debt even further.

You could hear Nigel Farage breathing down the neck of her Spending Review that saw the Treasury shovel billions out of the door on the never never.

Clearly designed to see cranes in the sky and spades in the (electoral battle) ground, Reeves stuck another £113billion on the borrowing tab to try to see off the threat of Reform in the next crucial three years ahead of the election.

There was £39billion for affordable homes and another £14billion for the first nuclear power station to be built in a generation.

The £7billion prison-building project should be welcomed, as long as the judges actually fill them with violent thugs rather than online mums publishing stupid tweets.

Bribe and cajole

But voters will be wary of the £16billion in transport upgrades outside of the South East — what you might call levelling up — having heard these promises before, only to see them paused, scrapped and delayed again and again.

And let’s hope none of the above projects over-run on their budget — like pretty much every other major government infrastructure initiative has in the past 40 years.

I couldn’t help thinking Reeves’ speech yesterday was the most she had ever sounded like Gordon Brown, torturing a dreary mantra that these were “Labour choices” as she sought to bribe and cajole voters with baubles while the debt clock racked up and up.

But we all know what happened to Brown when the music stopped . . . 

While the bond markets were steady last night after Donald Trump struck a trade deal with China, these things can go south very quickly, so it’s far from clear if this spending gamble will pay off for Reeves.

As former Cabinet Secretary Simon Case told The Sun this week: “The nation’s credit card is maxed out.”

He warned: “Just like when you’re at home and you’ve got your credit card or your mortgage, you have to pay for that debt.

“So the debt interest that we’re paying on the nation’s credit card, if you actually put it out like it was a government department, it would be one of the biggest government departments by spending.

“It’s taking up huge amounts of our money.”

The Institute for Fiscal Studies put the extra borrowing Reeves has undertaken since taking over at No11 at £140billion, with more than £105billion of taxpayers’ cash alone this year going on interest payments.

To tackle this, Case directly urged Reeves this week to “put the squeeze” on public spending or face a debt crisis and a lack of confidence in the UK’s financial system with horrific effects.

So were there any cuts, or restraint of any real note yesterday?

Of course there was the obligatory three per cent rise in NHS spending over the next three years as more pound notes poured into that seemingly indeterminable black hole.

While NHS chiefs were crowing yesterday that they had “done well” out of the settlement, they were already pumping out mood music that it might not be enough.

Yet by 2029, the NHS annual budget will be just short of a quarter of a trillion pounds a year at £226billion.

When will it ever be enough?

And where are the promised reforms to the system that would rid us of this endless gimme, gimme, gimme cycle?

Also, £9billon in efficiency savings for the NHS were proposed yesterday, with scarce details on the how, but already experts are pouring cold water on even that small sum being hit.

Labour promised to get a grip on the NHS, and warned that more money would not be the answer.

Another election promise that has turned to dust.

As has Labour’s pledge to end the use of migrant hotels within 12 months of taking power.

That has now been downgraded to “by the end of this Parliament” — at a cost of nearly £5billion until then.

Smoke and mirrors

Even by 2029, the Government will still be spending more than £2billion a year accommodating visitors, just not in hotels.

So behind the smoke and mirrors of Reeves’ speech to MPs, that isn’t really a cut.

Illustration of government spending allocations across various sectors.

And the continued costs of the heaving asylum bill dwarfs any of the departmental savings unveiled yesterday.

Reeves was keen to stress no return to the days of austerity, and her tinkering on Whitehall budgets was about the only part of her speech yesterday that matched her rhetoric.

The £1.5billion to be shaved off total departmental spending in the next three years pales in comparison to her extra spending elsewhere.

Just over £14billion being spent this year, down to £12.6billion in three years’ time.

Hardly putting on the squeeze.

Meanwhile, the UK’s national debt stands at more than 100 per cent of GDP at 2.7trillion . . . 

Let’s hope the Chancellor doesn’t need a major rainy day fund anytime soon, or she really will be the new Gordon Brown.
