LOVE Island fans have insisted that one Islander should be removed from the villa after his ‘disgusting’ behaviour.

30-year-old Harry has come under fire after his shock betrayal on the show after ditching partner Shakira in bed for a night of passion with Helena in the Hideaway.

But his antics have been slammed by viewers who have called upon show’s producers to step in and have him removed from the villa.

Many fans have been left unhappy with the way he disregarded Shakira’s feelings and how he continued to say one thing to her and another to Helena as he attempted to bat their feelings off one another.

Taking to X – formerly Twitter – one fan grumbled of Harry: “Harry is disgusting.”

A second went on to pen: “Harry’s acting like this and hes…thirty?”

Someone else wrote: “Harry.. you lie now but trust your time will come when movie night arrives.

“Switching the script on every convo you have is gonna come back to BITEEEEE.”

“Harry is NOTTTTT the man i thought he’d be, he is a walking, talking RED FLAG,” added a fourth.

As another insisted both he and Helena should be removed for their antics, saying: “I want Helena and Harry OUT. Out NOW!!!!

“Love island producer you know you see knocking the door b****!”

In shock scenes tonight blonde air hostess Helena Ford, 29, and semi-pro footballer Harry Cooksley, 30, snuck off for some alone time – leaving their partners reeling.  

The duo were seen planning their rendezvous earlier in the evening and Harry is seen telling Helena to tap his foot on the way out of the bedroom. 

A source previously told The Sun: “This is the fastest sleepover in the Hideaway in Love Island’s twelve series history – and what a gorgeous pair to do so.

“In the past, producers had to invite Islanders to use the breakout bedroom which meant the love nest was generally not used until couples became more established.

“But producers have changed the rules of the breakout bedroom so it can be used at any time, without an invite.

“It means Helena and Harry could take advantage of the ‘no invite needed’ and explore their connection.

“The scenes will play out later this week, but bosses are unlikely to show anything too naughty, as is the show’s usual approach.”

EACH week, around three million people clock off from their jobs and start a second, unpaid, role as a carer.

This unsung and often invisible army of helpers keeps the nation functioning, providing vital support to elderly or disabled family members and friends.

Estimates vary but between seven to nine per cent of the workforce also have caring responsibilities, with charity Employers For Carers saying that 59 per cent of these are women.

Not-for-profit organisation Carers UK estimates that two-thirds of us will become a carer at some point in our lives, with up to 600 people a day quitting work to do this.

However, juggling such responsibilities with work is a huge challenge.

Studies show that 44 per cent of carers in employment have developed mental or physical health conditions, while a quarter have reduced their working hours in order to cope.

It is Carers Week, with employers being urged to identify carers within their workforce and put support in place to retain them.

Helen Walker, chief executive of Carers UK, said: “It takes two years on average for someone to identify themselves as a carer.

“As a result, they often don’t come forward for support in the workplace and can miss out on vital help.

“This is why we encourage employers to raise awareness among managers and staff.”

This year’s Carers Week theme is Caring About Equality, highlighting that those looking after family members or friends face a greater risk of poverty, social isolation and poor mental and physical health.

Helen added: “One of the main drivers of poverty is the difficulty of combining paid work with unpaid care.

“We are urging more employers to go further in adopting more carer-friendly measures in the workplace and make a difference for those able to juggle work and care.”

One of the main ways employers can support staff is with flexible working.

Research from insurance agency the Phoenix Group found that two in five working carers would not have a job without flexible working.

Alongside this, an increasing number of firms are offering paid carer’s leave.

While the Carer’s Leave Act 2023 gives employees the right to five days of unpaid leave, Virgin Media O2 offers five paid days while the TSB gives 70 hours each year.

Rumana Akthair is an IT security apprentice for Virgin Media O2 and a carer.

She supports her dad who has mobility issues, a heart condition and diabetes, and also helps her mum, who is a carer herself and lives with arthritis.

Rumana, 35, from London, said: “Co-ordinating medication, attending appointments and managing day-to-day care requires flexibility, often during working hours.

“However, my employer is incredibly supportive, and with the flexibility afforded, the impact on my work is limited.

“We need broader recognition that caring comes in many forms and can include supporting friends, neighbours and extended family.

“The level of understanding and support has made a real difference, not just to my professional growth, but to my overall wellbeing.”

Nisha Marwaha, a director at Virgin Media O2, said: “Carers already have a lot on their plates and we want our people to be able to support friends and family without worrying about taking time off work or not getting paid.

“This support is vital to creating an environment where everyone can be their best at work and help their loved ones when they need them.”

HOW TO BE A CARE CONFIDENT EMPLOYER

• Encourage employees to identify themselves as carers. Include questions about caring in staff surveys or enable self-declaration through a self-service HR system or online form.
• lAsk carers about their support needs, including what type of help they would like in the workplace.
• lUse a clear definition of caring and carers – and include this in workplace policies to encourage take-up of support.
• Introduce a carer policy in your company or organisation, outlining in one place all the support available.
• Educate managers so they are equipped to identify and support carers in their team. Include caring in manager training and create a line-manager toolkit with guidance on what to do if an employee has caring responsibilities.

PATERNITY LEAVE IS A DAD JOKE

PATERNITY leave in the UK is the worst in Europe, according to campaign group The Dad Shift.

New fathers are entitled to a fortnight off at £187.18 a week, though many firms pay more.

Mars UK was recently recognised as our most family-friendly firm, offering dads 26 weeks off at 90 per cent of normal pay.

Ahead of Father’s Day, Mars revenue management director Mike Shepard, dad to Sterling, four, and Conrad, seven months, shares his advice for firms to get it right.

EVOLVE WITH THE PARENTING JOURNEY: From navigating school commitments to becoming a grandparent, the parenting journey spans decades, so flexibility isn’t a one-time fix, it’s a continuous dialogue.

It’s one thing having an enhanced parental leave policy, but leaders’ active encouragement is key to removing any stigma.

CHAMPION MEANINGFUL LEAVE: Business leaders can lead where policy lags by introducing enhanced time off and normalising fathers to take it.

REDEFINE THE RETURN-TO-WORK EXPERIENCE: Coming back from parental leave isn’t about “slotting back in”. It’s an emotional, mental and logistical adjustment.

Start conversations early about flexibility, priorities and working style, leading with what will best suit a family’s new reality.

MAXIMISE PERFORMANCE AND WELLBEING: It’s hard to support what you don’t know, so encourage open dialogue.

Vital to the success of my own team’s productivity is them feeling safe voicing what works for them, whether it’s flexible hours, hybrid working or changes in responsibility.

USE PEER GROUPS TO DRIVE CHANGE: Internal parenting networks are powerful tools.

Foster these groups to build a community and spark ideas that can drive meaningful change from within.

LOVE ISLE IS A TITLE MYSTERY

LOVE ISLAND, hosted by Maya Jama, is back on our screens and it is not just the hot bods grabbing our attention – but also their day jobs, and what they mean.

Online searches for “marketing engineer”, “payroll specialist” and “energy broker” jumped more than 5,000 per cent last week, according to data from jobs forum RateMyApprenticeship.

Co-founder Oliver Sidwell says: “Seeing someone on screen talk about a job you’ve never heard of sparks curiosity, and that’s what we’re seeing now.

“Roles like marketing engineer or energy broker are not on the radar for most school leavers, but should be.

“These are well-paid, in-demand jobs and don’t always require a university route.”

IT’S BEST TO ASK … AND FAST

JOB applicants should try to ask questions early in an interview to steer it in a direction that plays to their strengths.

That is the advice from Dr George Sik, of psychometric testing firm Eras, as the number of job vacancies in the UK plunged to its lowest level in four years with just 781,000 up for grabs.

As competition for positions intensifies, Dr Sik suggests good questions to put to your potential employer, which include, “What are the most important goals for this role in the next six to 12 months?”, “What challenges or changes is the team currently navigating?” and, “What makes someone exceptional in this role, as opposed to just good?”

He adds: “These questions show initiative and let you reframe the interview.”

But leave it too long into the chat, and Dr Sik warns: “By that point, it’s too late to influence the direction of the conversation.”

HARVEY ELLIOTT reminded Arne Slot of his capabilities after his stunner for England U21s helped get their Euros defence off to a flyer.

The star, 22, has warned Liverpool he’s not prepared to “waste” his career sitting on the bench.

And he showed his potential suitors exactly what he is capable of as his strike helped down Czech Republic at the MOL Arena in Dunajska Streda, Slovakia.

Elliott ensured England led at the break and Jonathan Rowe doubled their advantage shortly after the restart.

But Czech hit back instantly to set up a tense second period, but the Young Lions secured the 3-1 win thanks to Charlie Cresswell, who along with Elliott are the only survivors from the triumphant 2023 team.

Omari Hutchinson looked the liveliest as Lee Carsley’s side started strongest but they failed to build on that as momentum swung for the Czechs.

Alarm bells were ringing when Vaclav Sejk just missed Martin Suchomel’s low cross and they survived another scare when James Beadle pushed over the unmarked Stepan Chaloupek’s header.

There was another let-off when a corner found Patrik Vydra free in the box and his strike deflected off Jarrell Quansah but Beadle came to the rescue again.

But England took the lead against the run of play thanks to great work from skipper James McAtee.

The Manchester City ace kept alive Tino Livramento’s looping cross and he pulled it back from the byline for Elliott to run on to and rifle home.

England beat Czech Republic 2-0 two years ago to begin their journey to European glory and the omens were looking good for a repeat moments after half time.

Twinkle-toed Livramento, the best performer for the Young Lions, produced a bit of trickery before his low cross was flicked towards goal by Rowe.

It looked to be a relatively comfortable stop for goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek, but instead he bundled it into his own net.

However, hopes of a seventh-straight Euros clean sheet were quickly extinguished as Czech produced an instant response.

A dangerous cross from captain Vaclav Sejk was nodded home by Daniel Fila and suddenly the Young Lions were on the back foot.

Carsley’s men stood firm to weather the storm and began to look lively on the counter after the introductions of Ethan Nwaneri and Jay Stansfield.

Arsenal teen Nwaneri was straight into the twists and turns as Carsley’s men started to turn the screw.

And they got their reward when Cresswell rose highest to head home Alex Scott’s corner late on to get England off to a winning start.

Bournemouth midfielder Scott certainly let his feet do the talking – as he played with a chin strap o protect his broken jaw.

They now travel to Nitra on Sunday knowing a victory over Slovenia would cement them a spot in the knockouts.

A FATHER played on his phone in a “good mood” while being quizzed by cops over the death of his baby daughter, a court heard.

Thomas Holford, 24, is accused of shaking his baby girl to death.

Everleigh Stroud died a year after being rushed to hospital in Kent[/caption]

The five-week-old baby was rushed to Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Hospital after the ordeal at her home in Ramsgate, Kent.

Everleigh Stroud remained there in a vegetative state until she died over a year later in 2022 – aged 14 months.

Her dad had been living with her 16-year-old mum at time and pleaded guilty to manslaughter in November last year.

He denies murder and causing actual bodily harm.

Everleigh’s injuries, which ultimately led to her death in hospital on May 27, 2022, included catastrophic brain haemorrhages and multiple bone fractures.

Jurors heard that while it is accepted by Holford that he inflicted them, he disputes the prosecution case that he intended to kill Everleigh – or cause her really serious harm.

Holford also denies a charge of assault causing actual bodily harm.

Canterbury Crown Court heard that mum Casey Stroud had left Everleigh in Holford’s care while she went to stay with a friend on the night of April 20 to celebrate her birthday.

When she returned, on the morning of her 17th birthday, she found her daughter grey in colour with marks on her face.

While Everleigh was rushed to hospital, Holford was questioned by police in the family living room.

But jurors heard that he was “very relaxed” and in “quite a good mood” while detailing the events of the previous night.

He repeatedly used his phone, and at one point in a conversation, the first-time dad asked a sergeant to pick a game for him to download from his app store.

PC Darren Smith, who recorded his interactions with Holford on his body-worn camera, told the court: “When he entered the room he seemed to be in quite a good mood.

“He didn’t seem to be showing any emotion. He was quite easily conversing with me.”

The court heard – and watched the footage – of Holford describing having fed Everleigh two or three times during the night and settling her to sleep.

Holford said he recalled hearing her “whimper”, but thought she was just dreaming.

The dad said he didn’t see any bruises on his daughter until a “very upset” Casey had woken him.

He also referred to his low mood and an upcoming appointment with the community mental health team.

Asked by prosecutor Eloise Marshall if the defendant’s demeanour had changed during their conversation, PC Smith replied: “Not to any drastic amount.”

Ms Marshall then asked: “What was he actually doing while you were talking to him?”

The officer responded: “Mainly playing on his mobile phone.”

In much of the footage, Holford could be seen holding the device between his hands.

At one stage, Holford recalled how he feared he had swaddled Everleigh “quite tightly” when she whimpered.

He then told PC Smith: “It’s weird. Before I had a kid, I just thought ‘kids are just kids’.

“Then, you have a kid and it’s like, ‘Woah, step back’. It puts everything into perspective, doesn’t it?

“Before, I didn’t feel like I had a purpose. I wasn’t working. But now I feel everything has just fallen into place.”

Holford also revealed that he had smoked cannabis at around 10am the previous day, and would use it daily in the morning for a stomach issue.

A small amount of herbal cannabis, along with a grinder, was found in the “untidy and crammed” bedroom he had shared with Casey and Everleigh.

Holford was arrested and taken to Margate Police Station.

PC Smith told the jury he heard the defendant “speaking freely” of how he was often told by his girlfriend on waking that he had been “verbally aggressive” towards her – but had no knowledge of doing so.

Sgt Benjamin Patterson also gave evidence about his interactions with Holford, who he described as being “very interested in his phone, very relaxed and distant”.

During cross-examination, Holford’s barrister, Jo Martin KC, suggested the dad’s presentation could have been “a delayed reaction”, which PC Smith agreed could be the case.

However, when she suggested Holford had been talking “randomly” while in the custody cell, PC Smith replied: “He was calm the whole time I was with him. I couldn’t work out his mindset at all.

“Over the whole day, he was on a level. I don’t remember seeing any emotion – something that seemed strange considering what had happened.”

Jurors also heard that in visits to the family home by health workers on March 30 and April 6, Casey said Holford was doing most of the night feeds so she could rest.

It was also noted that he “really helped out” and was happy to do so.

The trial continues.

President Donald Trump signed legislation that represents a blow to both Elon Musk and California Governor Gavin Newsom.

Serious praise from a World Cup winner.
