LOVE ISLAND’S latest bombshell Blu Chegini says he’s open to anything under the sheets – and reckons the steamy Hideaway might not even compare to his mum’s sex shop.
The cheeky singleton, whose mum runs a well-known adult store in Spain, reckons his upbringing makes him more than ready for what the villa throws at him.
Asked what his parents thought about him potentially having sex on national TV, Blu shrugged it off, saying: “I haven’t really spoken to them about it…
“It’s not something I probably would have gone and said, like, ‘look, listen, what’s going to happen?’
“Yes, it’s something that we’ve been open with our whole lives, it doesn’t mean I’m going in there like, ‘I’m going to do that’ whatever happens, happens.
“They’re going to be supportive no matter what.”
Blu, who’s already turning heads with his good looks and smooth charm, also hinted he’s got high hopes for the villa’s most infamous room.
“I’m keen to see what the Hideaway’s got in store. See how it compares, mum’s shop and the Hideaway.”
So, which will come out on top?
“Probably my mum’s shop, to be honest,” Blu told The Sun.
“They bring in some, like, I don’t know… not the trashy stuff.”
Blu’s saucy background is already his claim to fame.
Speaking to ITV, he revealed: “My mum owns a sex shop in Spain, which everyone knows and is quite popular.
“Growing up as a kid I was laughed at for it, but little did people know that all their parents were buying stuff from there.”
But despite his racy roots, Blu insists he’s a softie at heart and is looking for something real: “Someone who’s family orientated, has a lot of love to give and a lot of love to receive – personality goes a long way.”
And when quizzed on whether Maya Jama would hire or fire him based on his flirting alone, Blu joked: “She’d fire me – but I’ve got the charm to smooth things over with a girl.
“The fact I speak fluent Spanish comes in handy when it comes to flirting!”
Businessman Blu will be swapping his wardrobe of smart suits for swimming trucks when he walks into the villa.
Blu is based in London and currently works as a construction project manager.
He graduated from Oxford Brookes University in 2023 with a Bsc Hons in Construction Project Management and works for a firm in the captial’s swanky Fitzrovia.
A GIANT “Jack and the beanstalk” tree is ruining locals’ lives – but the council won’t chop it down.
Residents in Winchester, Hants, slammed the “grotesquely irresponsible” and “ludicrous” 45 foot high oak.
They say the tree was planted around 50 years ago by a previous homeowner on Canon Street who just “wanted something to do”.
But now it has branched into an “out of proportion” eyesore which overshadows the gardens of nearby properties – where the average house price is more than £600,000.
However, the council have refused to cut it down and placed it under a protection order.
The authorities said residents from a neighbouring street “appreciated” the tree.
The decision has sparked outrage among locals who are actually dealing with the daily repercussions of such an overwhelming tree.
Orla Williams, 40, moved into her terraced Grade II Listed home with her partner around two years ago.
The doctor said after moving in, several residents went to her about the oak.
She explained: “They were concerned that it is getting very large and that it could cause damage to their properties and potentially harm to people if it gets any larger, so they wanted it to be taken down.
“We applied to the council to have it removed and someone came to look at it.
“[The tree officer] said that they want to put a tree protection order on it.”
The mum-of-two also told how an “awful lot of detritus” falls from the tree in autumn and winter.
She added: “We appreciate that the tree is beautiful but it’s the wrong tree in the wrong place.
“It is quite sad to remove something like that but it is only going to get bigger and potentially cause damage to lots of properties which is the main concern.
“The council said they were concerned about removing it because it’s one of the only trees in the area.
“All of the local residents seem to be of the opinion that unfortunately, it’s the wrong tree in the wrong place.”
According to a council report, the tree officer visited Orla after receiving notice from the couple that it was due to be felled.
But he found the tree met the criteria for a provisional protection order, which was issued in February of this year.
A Winchester County Council meeting will take place next week to decide whether the tree status will change or not.
There are nine residents in total who have objected to the order.
Mark Pocock, a retired resident living on Canon Street, slammed the council’s decision to protect the tree as “ludicrous”.
He said: “As trees grow older they become more brittle.
“If it were to fall and damage properties or persons, I would say the responsibility would be entirely with the council – not the owners of those properties.
“I think putting a tree protection order on is grotesquely irresponsible of the council.
“It could be a danger to property and life.”
Nick Goff, 80, said he fears if the tree continues to grow, the roots underneath will damage a medieval wall in his garden, which was built in the Tudor era.
The retired British Airways pilot said: “The issue is that in 10 years time, that will be double the height and double the width.
“It put on six feet last year it it’s going to put on another six feet this year.”
He commissioned an independent report from a tree consultancy business.
The report stated while the tree, which is still a “teenager” is in “good physiological condition”.
But the officer also found it is “a large sized tree in a very small area” and so the tree protection order is “unjustified”.
The report also stated “the possibility of longer term damage to the retaining walls and footings of the adjacent properties as entirely foreseeable”.
“Some guy planted this as something to do 40 years ago,” Mr Goff continued “Now, we have got Jack and the Beanstalk.
“It’s not a historic tree – it’s a silly mistake.”
However, the council report issued ahead of next week’s meeting claimed these concerns were “speculative” and the tree “contributes meaningfully to local biodiversity and visual amenity”.
It added: “It is also the last significant tree in an area of land between Canon Street and St Swithun’s Street, enhancing the character of the conservation area.”
Retired resident Graham Rule, 62, blasted the decision as “irresponsible”.
He said: “We all love trees but that shouldn’t be there.
“The people who want the protection order, they don’t live here – its totally irresponsible.”
Winchester County Council was contacted for comment.
AFTER tucking into the smoked salmon, pesto and cream cheese brioche handed to me by a smiling attendant, I reclined in my seat while the landscape flashed by.
It might sound like the first-class cabin of an airline, but I’m actually on a Polish train.
The intercity high-speed trains that run from the pretty port city of Gdansk on the Baltic coast down to the stately southern city of Krakow are the finest way to see Poland.
And a first-class ticket, complete with food, drink and a rolling vista of wonderful views, costs around £40 for the 300-mile journey.
The British equivalent would be taking a train from London to Glasgow. But you’d need to add a zero to the price at peak times.
Gdansk wears its history lightly but respectfully.
This is where World War Two started, when the German battleship Schleswig-Holstein bombed the port of what was then called Danzig.
There’s a huge museum in a slanting building dedicated to the conflict (muzeum1939.pl/en), which takes pains to concentrate on witness testimonies from ordinary Polish citizens who lived through the war.
The sheer size of the tank that sits on a recreated city street puts paid to any Hollywood notions of war being anything other than an exercise in terror.
Gdansk’s nightlife is every bit as lively as you would expect from a port city, but the cliché of rough sailors’ pubs has long gone. The Mercure Hotel offers knockout cocktails in its chic bar, while I also sampled sublime local vodkas to a DJ soundtrack amid the battered Chesterfield sofas inside Bar Lamus.
The train south to Krakow takes just over five hours and runs right through the centre of the country.
Leaving the Baltic coast, we passed vast fields of racing green, clusters of birch trees, red painted barns and deserted rural stations with flowerbeds outside.
Arrows of sunlight pierced tapering lanes and turned the glossy, depthless rivers and streams the colour of pewter.
For a country that has seen so much bloodshed, from a high-speed train, the nation looks ordered, calm and reassuringly familiar — like the landscapes of Lincolnshire or Kent from half a century ago.
As I order a glass of white wine, we run through the teeming cluster of Warsaw, with its mowed parks and jumble of new skyscrapers in the background.
An afternoon nap was inviting, but I was once again transfixed by the landscapes as we rolled further south. Ice-cream-scoop clouds hung above stout houses with roofs the colour of strong tea.
I felt I could sit on this train for ever. But Krakow is the end of the high-speed line, and so I made my way on foot into the Old Town — a pleasing maze of arcades and courtyards that meanders past the majestic royal castle and cathedral on Wawel Hill and down to the Vistula River.
Dinner came courtesy of Pod Baranem (podbaranem.com), which looks like a Polish granny’s living room but serves delicious plates of local classics such as dumplings stuffed with cottage cheese and roast veal with mushrooms.
Back at the funky, loft-style Mercure Fabryczna hotel, I fell into bed feeling I needed to rethink my definitions of luxury travel.
You don’t need five-star cruise liners or infinite air miles to travel in style.
A Polish train can make you feel pampered in a way that’s unlikely to ever occur on National Rail.

MILLIONS of people living in leasehold properties are being hit with spiralling service charge fees – but there is a way to fight back.
Almost five million homeowners pay service fees, which have risen 11% in the last year to an average of £2,300 per month, according to Hamptons.
Some leaseholders have seen charges sky rocket, making it unaffordable and tricky to sell their home.
While others have been hit by unfair charges.
The government has planned to reform the system – but there are delays.
This week JAMES FLANDERS explains how to challenge unfair charges.
Service charges are a fee paid by a leaseholder or resident set by a landlord.
The amount varies each year depending on costs to the landlord.
They can include charges for maintenance, repairs and insurance.
The details are usually set out in your lease.
The fee is usually set on what the landlord thinks they will spend.
At the end of year the landlord should provide a statement.
Some leases allow landlords to ask for contributions towards a “sinking fund” to build up reserves for future larger scale works.
David Fell, lead analyst at Hamptons, said: “Both buyers and mortgage lenders have become increasingly cautious about committing to high service charge costs, particularly where they perceive charges to be disproportionate to the amenities they get in return.
“As a result, would-be sellers paying high charges have often seen the value of their homes rise more slowly or even fall.
“In some cases, sellers are offering potential buyers a cash contribution towards future service charge payments.”
Some leaseholders have found that they are being charged unfair fees.
Tribunal judges have made some landlords pay back up to £100,000.
In one example, they ruled that a £135 fee to change two light bulbs was excessive.
In February 2023, it was revealed that landlords and insurance brokers were secretly taking up to 60% of the £1.6billion leaseholders paid for building insurance as hidden commissions.
New rules now stop insurance companies from choosing policies just to earn the highest commission, helping leaseholders get better value.
But brokers and managing agents are still allowed to take commissions.
The government has promised to ban excessive building insurance commissions through the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024.
Instead, landlords will only be able to charge a straightforward and fair “permitted insurance fee” for the work they actually do, making costs clearer and protecting leaseholders from hidden charges.
However, these proposed laws still need further legislation to come into effect, and the government hasn’t yet provided a timetable for this.
New rules planned by the government also plan to introduce commonhold agreements to replace leasehold ones.
Commonhold allows flat owners to jointly own and manage their buildings, cutting out landlords and property management companies.
But the proposed rules only apply to new homes.
A spokesperson for the Ministry of Housing said they know “far too many leaseholders” are being hit with “unreasonable and extortionate charges”.
A draft of the bill is expected later this year but leaseholders may have to wait months before it becomes law.
Leaseholders have a legal right within six months of receiving a summary of costs to request extra information from their landlord.
You can challenge a cost if you think it’s unreasonable, the standard of work is poor or you don’t think you should be paying it.
For example, you might question a fee for lift maintenance if you live in a ground-floor flat and it’s not included in your lease.
Or you could challenge charges for communal services, like a gym that’s always closed or a concierge service that doesn’t have staff.
You will need to apply to a tribunal which has the power to rule on whether the service charge is reasonable or payable.
In England this is the first-tier tribunal (property chamber).
In Wales it’s the leasehold valuation tribunal.
Applying to the tribunal usually costs a fixed fee of £110, though this may be waived if you’re on certain benefits.
If your case is transferred from court to the tribunal, you’ll only pay the difference between the court fees and the tribunal fee – or nothing if you’ve already paid more than £110 in court fees.
If a hearing is scheduled, you’ll need to pay an additional £220 hearing fee.
Speak to the Leasehold Advisory Service online at lease-advice.org or call them on 020 7832 2500 to find out more and get free advice on service charge issues.
You could also apply to the Housing Ombudsman if you have a complaint about how your service charge fees have been managed.
It says cases have jumped by 25 per cent in the last four years.
If you’re finding it hard to pay your service charges, there’s support available.
If you’re on Universal Credit and have been receiving it for at least nine months, you could get help with your service charges if you own a leasehold property.
People over the state pension age can also get support through pension credit.
LAWYER Liam Spender, 41, thought he'd bought his dream home when he purchased his £591,000 two-bed flat six years ago.
But within months it had turned into a nightmare.
“I regret buying it to this day,” said Liam, who lives in the Isle of Dogs, east London.
Initially he paid a £4,200 a year service charge but it has rocketed to £5,300 in just four years – a 26% increase.
A huge chunk of his bill – over £1,200 a year – was for buildings insurance, according to Liam.
Yet, despite paying so much, Liam had to wait months for repairs after part of his flat’s floor collapsed.
To make matters worse, he discovered £300 of the insurance fee was being taken as commission by his landlord and their broker.
In 2021, Liam teamed up with 103 homeowners in his building block and applied to the property tribunal.
A few days before the case their landlord conceded and awarded the homeowners £100,000 in backdated commission payments.
It meant that Liam got £300 back, while his neighbours in larger properties received significantly more.
“There are millions of people like me in the same boat and they are owed money they don’t even know about”, said Liam, who has since founded Leaseholder Action to help other people being hit with secret commission fees.
If you don’t get anywhere by approaching your management company, you could take over managing the charges yourself via Right to Manage.
It is a legal process where leasehold residents in flats can take over managing the maintenance and services.
To do this, enough long-leaseholders (those with leases originally over 21 years) need to get together and form an RTM company.
It costs £50 to set up a company and takes 24 hours to register.
You then need to serve notice to the freeholder of the development – the person who owns the land – letting them know you are taking over the right to manage.
They then have one month to dispute this.
The government is also planning to remove the requirement for leaseholders to cover the landlords expenses during the process, which will save homeowners around £3,000.
It’s also not allowed if there are four or fewer flats and a landlord lives in the building.
It could help you cut out management fee costs and charges for unnecessary work – but you will be responsible for the company and annual reporting.
Unless one of you is trained in these areas you may need to take on an accountant or managing agent.
Applications to set up RTM companies rose by 20% last year, according to Direct Line.
A YOUNG mother has proudly shown off her post-baby body, but has been met with horrendous comments from mean trolls.
Chloe, a 22-year-old stay-at-home mother who has two children, gave her followers a close-up look at the loose skin on her belly, just 26 weeks after giving birth to her youngest daughter.
But the content creator, who has amassed an impressive 316,900 followers and 36.3million likes online, was left with nasty messages from keyboard warriors, one of which said she is the reason they would “never have kids”.
Eager to clap back to the jaw-dropping remark and set the record straight, Chloe, who is mother to three-year-old Aura and seven-month-old Elladee, and had her two kids in the space of just two and a half years, wrote back to the brutal message.
Posting on social media, the influencer wore a crop top and leggings and showed off the stretch marks on her tummy in response to a rude comment that read “ok now this is another reason why I’m never having kids”.
In response to the troll, Chloe confirmed: “My body should never put you off having kids – this is natural, this is absolutely normal.”
Chloe then expressed: “Every woman’s body is different after pregnancy, throughout pregnancy, and before pregnancy, so you saying this is the reason you don’t want kids because of the look of my body is absolutely wild to me.
“Everyone is allowed their opinion, I’m not saying that, you’re allowed to say whatever you want, you’re allowed to be scared of pregnancy, you’re allowed to be scared of what your body might look like after pregnancy.”
The mother admitted that she was initially “scared” of the “changes” to her body after having a baby and “never” thought her figure would look how it does currently after her second baby.
She claimed that while she “bounced back so fast” after giving birth to her first child, she was “a lot larger” with her second.
Chloe then added: “If you bounce back very quickly after all your kids, you are very lucky.”
Now, Chloe is on a mission to encourage kindness online and “normalise normal bodies”.
As a result, the blonde asked: “Can we stop commenting hateful things on my postpartum body? As I will see them and words do hurt, so please be mindful and kind.”
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ourfamilydiariess, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 72,500 views in just 24 hours.
TO SAY the body changes during pregnancy and childbirth is an understatement.
Throughout the nine months it takes for the body to bring a baby into the world, it goes through some huge physical changes.
Considering how different the body looks during pregnancy, it’s not surprising that there are some lasting changes.
And it some ways, it never does, Doctor Rachel Ward, a GP at Woodlands Medical Centre, Derby, said.
1. Wider ribcage and hips
“During pregnancy in order to accommodate a growing baby and prepare for giving birth, our body produces a hormone called relaxin,” she explained.
Relaxin works by increasing the flexibility and movement in our joints and ligaments.
“Many women find that after pregnancy the shape of their pelvis and ribcage remains different,” Dr Rachel said.
It is common to need a different bra size due to a change in chest circumference, the expert said.
“This is a reminder of the changes your body made to accommodate your baby and is nothing to be worried about,” she added.
2. Change in skin colour
During pregnancy, most women experience skin changes as it stretches to accommodate your bump and enlarging breasts.
“It is not uncommon to develop stretch marks.
“Though they will often fade over time and become a shiny pale colour, depending on your skin tone they will not go away completely,” Dr Rachel said.
“Some people do not like the way stretch marks look but they are an incredibly common change that we see in many people,” she added.
3. A change in breast shape
Breasts increase in size during pregnancy as the breast tissue prepares to produce milk.
And shortly after birth they will start to produce milk and become swollen, Dr Ward explained.
“If you choose to breast feed or not, it is likely that the shape, size and way your breasts look and feel will be different after pregnancy compared to before,” she added.
“This is not a problem but it is important that we do learn what the new normal is for our breasts so we can stay breast aware and pick up and changes that could be cancer.”
Social media users were eager to support Chloe and numerous women rushed to the comments to praise her “beautiful” figure after having two children.
One person said: “God forbid a woman who’s had children looks like they’ve had children. I think you’re gorgeous.”
My body should never put you off having kids – this is natural, this is absolutely normal
Chloe
Another added: “You look amazing! Your body grew your babies! It did everything it was supposed to do.”
A third commented: “You look fantastic.”
Meanwhile, someone else shared: “You’re absolutely beautiful.”
Not only this, but another mother chimed in: “My stomach is the same after my daughter, this is lovely to see. Women’s bodies are amazing.”
