Tributes have been pouring in for Ramona Fagan, the Irish woman who tragically died in Tenerife yesterday.

The 21-year-old arrived on the Spanish island at the beginning of the week, and only a few days in, her life was sadly taken away from her as she fell from a balcony at the resort she was staying in.

Staff at the hotel rushed to try to resuscitate her, but they failed to revive her body.

Since the news of her untimely death has surfaced, her friends and family have been pouring in tributes to the "young, kind-hearted" woman.

On an Instagram picture of her departing from Cork Airport, one friend wrote: "I can't believe that I'm even writing this Ramona.. You were enjoying your life and it was taken way too soon from you! You had so [many] plans for the future and it's just not fair (sic).

"Rest in peace and be as glamorous as always up in heaven."

While another friend commented: "I will love you and treasure your memory for the rest of my life. I promise I will never forget you, I love you Mons I always will (sic)."

Another saddened IG user added: "Honestly can't believe what I've heard! RIP I'm absolutely shocked."

We hope she rests in peace.

Limerick model Shauna Lindsey is taking a break from Ireland this summer to opt for a warmer climate – and we are so totally jealous.

She's been updating us all on social media, taking to Instagram and Snapchat to show off the scenic views, her hot outfits and of course, her killer bod.

The former girlfriend of rugby star Conor Murray jetted off two weeks ago, and snapped a stylish airport selfie in Dublin.

She captioned her pic: "The day is FINALLY here! Sunny California for the summer. Later Ireland."

Yet, her latest IG post, where she's jetted to Las Vegas, is making us all drool over the MGM Grand Hotel:

 

Las Vegas for the weekend! #EDC

With producers already being threatened with legal action for unauthorised filming in Ibiza, the production of the upcoming series of Geordie Shore hasn't exactly been going to plan.

And now it's been revealed that cast member Scotty T had to be rushed to hospital earlier this week after a drunken fall on the famous party island.

According to The Sun, the 28-year-old Geordie "snapped" his arm on a night out and will be in a cast for the rest of the series.

A source told the paper: “Ibiza and Mallorca has already been a nightmare with the filming ban in place so the cast all went out on the lash on their day off."

“Scotty T had an unfortunate fall a few hours into drinking and hit it so hard his arm snapped."

“He was reeling in agony and rushed to hospital where doctors said it was fractured and put it in a cast.”

To make matters worse, the fall wasn't caught on camera which has left producers in a sticky situation as they'll have to explain to viewers where Scotty's mysterious bandage came from.

The source said: "While it was a bad night for Scotty, it is also proving a headache for producers since none of it was filmed so they have to try and tell the story of Scotty T suddenly appearing in a cast with no footage."  Awkward!

Despite being told to take it handy, Scotty has decided a fractured arm isn't enough to stop his partying ways.

He's joined the team in Kavos to continue filming – what a pro!

If you enjoy the odd game show (who doesn't), then you're going to be pretty saddened by this news.

ITV has decided to "rest" most of our entertainment shows, and it could actually mean that they'll be off the air forever.

First Jonathan Ross ended, then The Cube and now shows like Surprise, Surprise, Family Fortunes, Catchphrase and Mr and Mrs are not going to be popping up on the TV anymore.

Philip Schofield's Mr and Mrs and Keith Lemon's Through the Keyhole have already been filmed but once they air, it'll be the last time.

The new ITV commissioning team are now looking to give the station a new "feel," according the The Mirror. The three-man team are set to release a flurry of totally new panel shows, quizzes and games later this year.

If all goes well, then the old shows could be gone forever, but you never know… We think people will miss The Cube too much.

We're used to him being the frontman of One Direction, but now Harry Styles might be taking on the role of a greater singer.

Yep, Harry is rumoured to play Mick Jagger in a new biopic about The Rolling Stones, according to The Line of Best Fit.

The film, which is being directed by Andy Goddard from Downton Abbey is said to be titled Exile on Main Street: A Season in Hell with the Rolling Stones.

According to Deadline, the new flick is based off a book by Robert Greenfield which follows the band as they recorded their album Exile on Main Street.

This won't be the first cinema work for Harry though, as he's set to star alongside Tom Hardy in Dunkirk, which is set to debut in 2017.

As for the new movie, there's no word yet on other cast members or when it will start filming, but if Harry Styles is in it, it's bound to get great views in the cinema.

Meat Loaf collapsed on stage last night during a concert in Canada.

The singer cancelled another performance just days before due to an unknown illness.

The hit maker was in the middle of singing I'd Do Anything For Love, when he suddenly hit the ground.

Numerous videos of the incident were taken by fans at the gig, and soon surfaced on social media.

In the footage, Meat Loaf is seen lying on the stage motionless, before a flurry of medical staff rush to his side. He was then taken in an ambulance to a nearby hospital.

We hope he's recovering well.

However, you also know that there's a big chance of you getting lost in the middle of all the crowds.

That's why Vodafone Centre Stage has just released deadly drone footage of Ballinlough to give you a chance to see where everything is laid out.

Handy, right? No more wandering around for hours with no idea where your friends are.

They shocked the world when the pictures of them kissing on Rhode Island surfaced, but that doesn't mean Taylor Swift is going to play down her new romance.

The singer whisked her new beau Tom Hiddleston away yesterday on her private jet.

It is still unknown where the new couple flew away to, but pictures show Tay boarding her jet with Tom following soon after.

The Daily Mail is now reporting that Taylor's former flame (of two weeks) Calvin Harris thinks that his ex-girlfriend may have cheated on him with Tom.

Oh, what a rollercoaster this is turning out to be.

As it does every year to mark Queen Elizabeth II's birthday, the Trooping The Colour celebration took place in London recently.

A true spectacle of pomp and ceremony, all the usual royal suspects were there: Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice; 95-years-and-still-going-strong Philip; Charles and Camilla; the loveably rougish Harry, as well as the lesser known likes of Prince Michael of Kent.

But the true shining stars of the big Windsor day out were undoubtedly Wills and Kate and their totes adorbs children Prince George, 3, and one-year-old Princess Charlotte.

However, one individual who isn't as blinded by the Cambridges' gloss as the rest of us is evidently the woman-of-the-hour herself, Queen Elizabeth.

Indeed, the 90-year-old reigning monarch was quick to scold her grandson when she caught him on the doss.

Yes – instead of waving to the gathered masses from their Buckingham Palace balcony, Prince William at one stage opted to hunker down alongside his young son.

Until, that is, granny tapped him on the shoulder and instructed him to stand up.

As for Wills – well, he looks decidedly unimpressed. In fact, we dare say his royal sulk has just about made our day.

The cherry on the top? That would be little George's subtle-but-deadly face-palm…

Professor Green fans have had a worrying few hours after the star shared a picture last night from his hospital bed.

The British rapper had been suffering from pains for six hours when he was admitted to hospital and had to be kept in overnight to ensure he didn't have a strangulated hernia.

Thankfully, he has since posted an update to his Instagram account saying: "Woke up to a million text messages – I’m fine, apart from the builders outside my house and the lack of sleep X."

Anyone with a sweet tooth knows there’s nothing quite like a good McFlurry, but one of the famous ice-cream’s classic flavours could soon be no more.

According to Reuters, the M&M McFlurry could soon become a thing of the past because the makers of M&Ms, Mars – yes, that’s the same Mars who brought us the Mars bar – thinks the dessert contains too much sugar.

Apparently Mars is worried because a number of desserts which feature its products contain a person’s full daily sugar allowance in just one serving.

Among those desserts is the M&M McFlurry which has a whopping 89g of sugar per 340g serving – that’s 1g short of all the sugar a woman is allowed in a day.

At this stage the extinction of the M&M flavour is just an idea so there's no need to panic.

But even if it the move is given the go ahead, we're sure there'll still be plenty of ways to get your sugar fix.
