From models, TV presenters and actresses, SunSport runs down those most likely to catch the eye.

After months of speculation, Ruben Dias and Maya Jama went Instagram official last week as they enjoyed a romantic holiday in Italy.

But she will not be travelling to the States as the 30-year-old is hosting Love Island in Mallorca once again, with the new series now underway.

Maya will not be alone in missing the tournament as Erling Haaland’s partner Isabel Haugseng Johansen is set to stay at home after welcoming a baby in December.

A BOYBAND icon looks worlds away from his 90s heyday.

Getting baptised by the Kray twins‘ henchman, an East 17 star looked very different.

Chris baptised new members of the church in East London over the weekend[/caption]

East 17 star Terry Coldwell had his head dunked under water by former henchman to the Kray twins Chris Lambrianou.

Terry, 50, became one of seven born-again Christians in new snaps.

As a public declaration of faith, Terry was dunked under the water in a baptism pool at the River Church in London’s East End.

85-year-old Chris Lambrianou, who was once a member of gang ‘The Firm’ led by Ronnie and Reggie Kray, performed the baptisms with the church’s pastor Dave Gill.

Speaking about the experience, Terry said: “I’ve just been baptised and I feel absolutely amazing.

“The service has been phenomenal today,” he said to MailOnline.

He affirmed how “great” he felt and added how it “was a long time coming”.

He added: “I’m really glad I did it.”

Chris, who carried out the baptism, spoke about the “spiritual high” he gets from performing them.

“Baptising so many people gives me a spiritual high,” he told the outlet.

He added: “It’s like you cannot buy the feeling I have. That can only come from Jesus Christ.

“Trust in him and he will never fail you.”

East 17’s Terry shot alongside Tony Mortimer, Brian Harvey and John Hendy in the 90s.

The band are perhaps best known for their 1994 Christmas number one Stay Another Day.

We don’t talk. But I don’t hold any grudges.

East 17's Terry Coldwell

With many lineup changes over the years, Terry has remained as one of the only members to have stuck with the band.

Last year, Terry revealed he didn’t think a reunion of the original line up would ever be on the horizon.

“I’ve tried to get us together over the years but it all fell through. I’ve kind of had enough really,” he told MailOnline last November.

He then said in a recent documentary: “We don’t talk. But I don’t hold any grudges.

“There were good times and there were bad times but that’s like in any job. 

“We lived together basically, we worked for three years without a day off so of course we argued about things.

“But I’m grateful for the times I shared with them.”

CHLOE Brockett and Jack Fincham have been pictured together in Essex after The Sun revealed they’ve reunited for the seventh time.

We exclusively told how the on-off pair decided to give love another go after their sixth split.

The reality couple broke up in April following a string of heated rows, with Jack moving out of their shared home.

They’ve now been seen out shopping at a Sainsbury’s in Grays, Essex.

Chloe, 24, looked trendy in a stone sweater and matching joggers – accessorising with suede slippers and a Louis Vuitton bag.

Jack, 34, meanwhile, opted for a grey T-shirt and cream trousers, completing his ensemble with white trainers.

But the outing hit a snag when Chloe’s £90,000 Porsche suffered a puncture.

Despite the car trouble, the pair remained upbeat, later heading home by taxi after the vehicle was recovered.

Chloe and Jack were recently spotted shopping at Swanley Market in Kent.

A source said: “Chloe and Jack have been on and off for months but have finally put their differences aside to give their relationship another chance.

“They really want to make it work so have been enjoying some low-key dates as they gradually build the trust.

“They have realised they have something special so want to put their time and energy into making it work.”

Last week, they sparked rumours of a reunion when they shared snaps on their respective Instagrams from the same East London market.

Jack posed outside the Birdcage pub at Bethnal Green’s Columbia Road Flower Market on Sunday.

Then Chloe posted from the same spot with a huge bouquet of flowers.

Just last month, Jack had told The Sun that he still loves Chloe.

He shared: “I don’t know what will happen between us.

“I still love her. I doubt it’s over for good.”

AN EastEnders favourite has been kicked out in a fiery row after his ‘cheating’ was exposed.

The BBC soap is no stranger to showing dramatic love lives in Albert Square.

Elaine kicked George out – and was left in tears afterwards[/caption]

George Knight (Colin Salmon) faced the wrath of wife Elaine (Harriet Thorpe) after a secret came to light.

Up until now, Elaine believed George had been at a boxing match on Christmas Day – which explained blood being on him.

George’s son Junior (Micah Balfour) returned to Walford and the truth was revealed.

The pub landlord had actually visited Junior’s mother Sabrina – and kept it from Elaine.

He’d hoped to uncover the reasons behind Junior’s behaviour – such as sleeping with George’s ex-wife Cindy (Michelle Collins).

It particularly stung for Elaine, having gotten past George hiding that he was helping Cindy with new venture The Albert.

Behind closed doors, he tried to explain himself – but Elaine wasn’t having any of it.

“You expect me to believe she just threw herself at you?” Elaine said, before adding: “You must think I came down in the last rainfall.”

George insisted he’d only visited to talk, but Sabrina misread the situation and tried to kiss him.

He claimed the bleeding came when he pulled away and Sabrina slapped him – catching his nose.

Elaine was furious at George not only for lying, but also roping Gina (Francesca Henry) and Kojo (Dayo Koleosho).

George reiterated that he loved Elaine, but she said: “But you don’t trust me.

“Because if you trusted me, you would’ve come home that night and told me everything. You would’ve trusted that I would’ve believed you.

“You would’ve trusted that I’d have been by your side – like I have every single time.”

Elaine ultimately asked George to leave – saying she didn’t think he loved her enough.

When he continued to try and smooth things over, Elaine threw a glass at the wall and screamed: “Get out!”

After a pep talk from Linda (Kellie Bright) and Johnny (Charlie Suff), Elaine went to find George – only to be left heartbroken by seeing him comforting an upset Cindy.

EastEnders airs on BBC One and iPlayer.

LOVE Island is lining up a stunning Welsh brunette as a bombshell, The Sun can exclusively reveal.

Emily Moran, who lives in Sydney, Australia, has jetted to Mallorca and is set to turn the boys’ heads.

She’s from the same town as Nicole Samuel[/caption]

A source said: “Emily’s originally from Aberdare, the same town as Nicole Samuel from last year’s show.

“Her ex-boyfriend is tall dark and handsome so she’ll have plenty of options when she does make it into the villa.

“She’s been unlucky in love since moving down under and is hoping to find Mr Right with a little help from Maya Jama and the British public.”

The glam, well-travelled brunette is fond of a beach day, often stripping down to stylish bikinis to soak up the sun.

Last year she spent time in Ibiza, Mykonos, Mallorca, and the Amalfi Coast.

Emily last posted on social media two weeks ago and told followers she was a “happy girl”, while another post saw her say: “I love my little life”.

We exclusively revealed yesterday that one of the original villa girls has already been dumped from the villa.

A source said: “This girl will be sorely missed as was already proving to be a big character. She was absolutely gutted to leave.

“But the series has twists and turns at every stage and this isn’t the usual dumping viewers might expect after a bombshell arrives.

“Executive producer Mike Spencer-Hayter has promised drama for the tenth anniversary and this format point will not disappoint.”

It came after the first bombshell of the series, American Toni, was introduced last night and immediately stole Ben from Shakira.

However, viewers think the taxi driver isn’t interested after picking up on his body language and saying: “Ben doesn’t even look like he wants to be there. This season is about to be a mess.”

A MISSING woman was killed by her ex-lover who dragged her body from their office block in a wheelie bin, a court heard.

Yajaira Castro Mendez, 46, was reported missing on May 31 after failing to return to her home in Ilford, East London.

Her body was discovered 96 miles away in the Bolderwood area of Hampshire on Saturday.

Yajaira’s ex Juan Francisco Toledo, 51, appeared at the Old Bailey today charged with murder.

The court heard Toledo allegedly killed Yajaira on the evening of May 29 at an office where they were working in central London.

Prosecutor Caroline Carberry KC said: “The defendant was Ms Mendez’s work colleague.

“They were both cleaning staff at an office building on Grays Inn Road and they had been in recent history in a relationship and on the day of her death they were both at work.”

The court was told Toledo allegedly murdered Yajaira after she arrived at the office at 5pm.

Around three-and-a-half hours later, her body was removed from the building in a wheelie bin, it was said.

Toledo allegedly drove to Hampshire with Yajaira in his car then dumped the body.

A post-mortem examination to determine her cause is ongoing.

Venezuelan national Toledo, who was assisted by a Spanish interpreter, was remanded into custody.

A plea hearing was set for September 1 with a provisional trial from April 20, 2026.

The Met yesterday confirmed the body belonged to Yajaira.

Acting Detective Chief Inspector Sean Beasley, who is leading the investigation, said: “This is a very sad development in the investigation and our thoughts are very much with Yajaira’s family and friends at this incredibly difficult time.

“Officers have been working around the clock and continue to investigate the circumstances.

“There are still crime scenes in place and we’re working closely with Hampshire Police.

“We thank the community for their patience as we carry out our investigation and we continue to appeal to anyone with information that could assist the investigation to please come forward.”

Is he heading to north London?

Gianluigi Donnarumma says his ‘priority’ is to stay at PSG despite emerging as a target for Manchester United and Manchester City.

The Manchester rivals have expressed interest in superstar goalkeeper Donnarumma amid his contract stand-off at Paris Saint-Germain.

Donnarumma, considered one of the best shot-stoppers in the world, has entered the final 12 months of his contract in the French capital.

PSG are keen for Donnarumma to stay but the 26-year-old has reportedly been underwhelmed by the club’s proposals so far.

The contract dispute has prompted Manchester United and Manchester City to line up moves for Donnarumma, who helped PSG win the Champions League and Ligue 1 last season.

Current United No. 1 Andre Onana has largely underwhelmed since his £47m move from Inter Milan in 2023 and Ruben Amorim is reportedly open to signing a replacement this summer.

Manchester City are also interested in Donnarumma as they look for a long-term replacement for club legend Ederson, who turns 32 before the start of next season.

Donnarumma was asked about his future and the transfer speculation following Italy’s World Cup qualifier against Moldova on Monday night and confirmed his ‘priority’ was to extend his spell in Paris.

‘My priority is to stay at PSG and sign a new deal,’ he said. ‘I don’t think there will be any problems in the negotiations.’

Speaking after PSG’s Champions League final win, Donnarumma confirmed he wanted to stay but said he was ‘open to anything’ regarding the summer window.

‘I feel good in Paris,’ the Italian said. ‘Then it’s up to the club to decide whether to renew my contract or not.

‘I’m ready for anything, but my first choice is Paris. I’ve found my balance, the fans and the team care about me, and I hope to stay here for many years.

‘As I’ve already said, I’m not closing the door to anything, I’m enjoying the moment.

https://www.instagram.com/p/DKX7rT_osOC/?hl=en&img_index=1

‘Maybe, in a few years, things could change. Italy is definitely my home, and I do miss it a bit. Maybe one day I’ll come back, but for now I’m taking things day by day.

‘I feel good, and everyone at PSG has confidence in me. I’m happy, right now, I’m just focused on what I’m doing and enjoying everything in Paris.’

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has called for Onana to be replaced but believes his former club may prioritise other areas.

Asked whether Onana should be replaced in the summer, Scholes said on TNT Sports: ‘Yeah, I think it’s something they need to think about.

‘But they need to look at the budget as well. Can you get away with not spending that money on a goalkeeper?

‘He hasn’t been quite good enough but it will come down to money and what Amorim has got to spend.

‘We’ve seen this goalkeeper do well at Inter Milan as well. But I don’t think his distribution has been great either, and that’s one of the reasons he was brought in.

‘But can you almost get away with not spending another £40m on a goalkeeper? I don’t know. Ruben Amorim has a lot of problems to solve.’
