Chloe Burrows has opened up about her former relationship with Toby Aromolaran. 

The Love Island stars placed as runners-up during their time in the villa back in 2021.

They then went their separate ways in October 2022 and Chloe has now admitted that their break-up was ‘literally the worst thing she’s been through’.

While speaking to OK!, Chloe opened up about her and Toby’s split, revealing she wouldn’t want to date anyone in the public eye again. 

“I wouldn’t want someone who is so public and shares a lot of their life. If it doesn’t work out, you have to go through a public break-up, which is literally the worst thing I have been through. I wouldn’t do that again”. 

“If I didn’t post anything about the two of us for like three days, I was hounded. I felt pressure to keep everyone updated. If I hadn’t had that pressure it would have been a lot more smooth sailing I reckon”.

The 27-year-old is now taking part in Celebs Go Dating as she looks for love again after being single for eight months, which is the longest time she’s ever been single.

Chloe chatted about the dating show and detailed how this will be the first time she’s spoken about her previous relationships. 

“I know a lot of people who have done it and they say it’s good. I know Olivia Attwood. I’ve done my research. I think it will be really fun”.

“It will be the first time I have spoken about my relationships. On Love Island I managed to get away without talking about it. The Celebs Go Dating experience is a lot more intense. I might take a lot more away from it”.

Explaining that she’s had rocky relationships in the past, Chloe says she has a lot to talk about with the dating experts on the show. 

“I’ve had situations, roller-coaster rides… not that fun. My previous relationship was really good, so I have that as a standard now”.

Other famous faces joining Chloe on Celebs Go Dating includes TV star Vanessa Feltz, former Love Islander Adam Collard, model Lottie Moss, former Made in Chelsea star Mark-Francis Vandelli and online comic Spuddz.

Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has broken her silence following speculation about her recent breakup.

The former Love Island winner announced her split from co-star Davide Sanclimenti in June of this year, after the pair won last year’s summer series.

However, just a few weeks later, fans were soon speculating that the exes might have rekindled their romance, after they were spotted leaving broadcaster ITV’s Summer Party together.

Now, the Turkish actress has taken a rare opportunity to speak out about where she stands with Davide.

In a written statement on her Instagram stories, the 28-year-old addressed the recent rumours.

“There’s been a lot of speculation over the status of myself and Davide’s relationship in recent weeks. Usually these headlines are misleading,” Ekin-Su admitted.

The reality star then went on to directly speak out about an interview she gave, in which it was argued she was taking a ‘swipe’ at her former boyfriend.

“I wasn’t taking a ‘swipe’ at Davide like a recent article stated. Despite the narratives, @davidesancli and I are on good terms, we both care about each other and I think everyone should respect that. Lots of love Ekin x,” she concluded.

Ekin-Su’s statement comes after an interview with her was released over the weekend, during which she spoke about the aftermath of winning Love Island.

The former champion was asked by MailOnline if she had any advice for reigning winners Jess Harding and Sammy Root, and in her answer, fans believed that Ekin-Su was making a ‘dig’ at Davide.

“If you're in a relationship coming out of the villa you need to realise you're in a relationship,” she explained. 

“You need to realise there are a lot of eyes on you and live it privately, have your own space and trust your partner, communicate with your partner, don’t rush to live with them straight away,” she added at the time.

Stacey Solomon has been praising her eldest son Zachary following a family holiday. 

Stacey and her husband Joe Swash have just returned home after enjoying a family trip with their little ones in Turkey. 

After a trip jam-packed with fun activities for her family and time spent by the beach, Stacey has penned a heartwarming tribute for her eldest son, who she described as a ‘third parent’, because of how much he helps with his younger siblings. 

Stacey shared a collection of sweet moments between 15-year-old Zach and his siblings spending time together over the course of their holiday to her 5.7M Instagram followers. 

The Loose Women panellist captioned the video collage, “Biggest Brother Love. Just had to share this because it really makes me so proud. Me and Joe were watching through these videos on the way home & saying how much harder holidays would be without Zach!”.

“He’s like a third parent who’s much more fun than us, nothing is ever too much, and we have a lot to contend with but he takes it all in his stride”.

Solomon continued, “It’s honestly hard to believe that I had Zach just two years older than he is now & he’s a better person than I ever was at that age! Zach Your love and time for your brothers and sisters is just our favourite thing to watch”.

“Thank you for everything. Before anyone starts. We love all of my children the same amount. But at different times in our lives they all show their unique, special personalities & it just is so amazing to see & celebrate”.

Many of Stacey’s fans rushed to the comments to compliment Zach and to commend Stacey for raising such a kind boy. 

One fan said, “There’s only one way he’s learned this respect and kindness – look in the mirror”.

“You should be very proud of yourself because you raised him”, wrote a second fan. 

A third commenter added, “He's a credit to you Stacey! What a lovely young man,clear to see he idolised the little ones”.

Zach is big brother to 11-year-old Leighton, four-year-old Rex, one-year-old Rose and six-month-old Belle.

Zooey Deschanel and Jonathan Scott are engaged.

Congratulations are in order for the pair as they have announced the wonderful news of their engagement after four years of dating. 

The New Girl actress confirmed her engagement to Property Brothers star on social media by posting a loved-up photo of the couple with her stunning ring on display. 

The unique ring consists of a band of clear, purple and pink stones in a flower pattern.

Sharing the lovely snap to her 7.6M Instagram followers, Zooey wrote, “Forever starts now!!!”, alongside the picture of them smiling from ear to ear. 

Many fans and famous faces alike rushed to the comments to share congratulatory messages to Zooey and Jonathan.

According to People, Jonathan got down on one knee while the couple were on a family holiday in Scotland. 

Zooey’s two children, eight-year-old Elsie and six-year-old Charlie whom she shares with ex-husband Jacob Pechenik, were also present in the special moment. The children reportedly played a meaningful role in the proposal too.

Zooey and Jonathan first met back in August 2019 when they were filming for James Corden’s Carpool Karaoke.

As the summer holidays draw to a close, more than a million Irish children will be going back to school in the coming weeks.

But the new term brings fresh fears for families, with struggling parents worrying about how they will feed their children and fuel their bodies and minds this school year.

For the children in these households, lack of food and nutrients will not only be leaving them hungry, but at risk of experiencing other developmental issues in areas such as physical health, mental health, education and social wellbeing.

With so many families struggling, Heinz Beanz and Barnardos have teamed up for a second time to bring back its limited-edition three-pack of ‘Heinz Meanz Meals’ cans, helping support their work with children living in disadvantaged areas across Ireland.

Giving its iconic Beanz packaging a special makeover, fans of the breakfast staple can pick up a pack from stores nationwide from today.

For every pack purchased, Heinz will be making a donation to Barnardos Breakfast Clubs. The children’s charity provides nutritious breakfast food, such as Heinz No Added Sugar Beanz which are naturally high in protein and fibre, to selected Barnardos centres across Ireland.

The donation comes as part of a partnership between Heinz and Barnardos, with the two companies working together since 2020.

Last year, Barnardos supported over 20,000 children and families, of which Heinz helped, by providing 5,000 meals to the children’s charity.

With the ambition to help even more families this year, TV presenter and podcaster, Vogue Williams, is joining the meals mission as an ambassador for this partnership, shining a spotlight on and raising further awareness of this all-important issue.

The mum of three who has a following of more than 1 million people on Instagram, many of whom are parents themselves, will see her new role not only inspire those in a position to help to take action, but let less-fortunate parents know support is there from services such as Barnardos.

Speaking about the ambassadorship, Vogue Williams said; “I can’t imagine the worry that many families must be going through. No one should be unsure when or where their next meal is coming from, especially children".

“Working with Heinz and Barnardos, together, we hope to not only raise awareness of this growing issue taking place on our doorstep, but to also highlight that a small, tangible act – such as buying a pack of Heinz Beanz – can have a big impact and help support those most vulnerable in the community.”

NEW three-packs of ‘Heinz Meanz Mealz’ Beanz are available from major retailers such as Dunnes, Tesco, SuperValu and Aldi now, as well as convenience stores. RRP €3.59. Prices are at the sole discretion of the retailer.

Adam Collard has been opening up about his love life!

The former Love Island bombshell has been known in the past for his rollercoaster romances, after appearing twice on the ITV dating show.

In the summer of 2018, Adam eventually entered into a relationship with co-star Zara McDermott, but the pair broke things off in February 2019.

Then, Adam returned to the villa during last summer’s series and began a romance with fellow contestant Paige Thorne, but the stars later broke up in October 2022.

Now, as Adam prepares to grace our screens once again in the new season of E4’s Celebs Go Dating, the 27-year-old has admitted that he was once close to settling down for good.

In a recent interview with MailOnline, Adam admitted that he still has hope for marriage in the future.

"Call me old-fashioned, but I genuinely believe there's someone out there whom I'll meet and feel like saying, 'Yeah, I'm done,’” he confessed.

The reality star then went on to detail why it didn’t work out for him in the past.

“I won't lie, I have had it before but I was too young. I will hopefully get it again where I'm with someone and really want to be with them all the time and can be completely best friends. Unfortunately I haven't found that just yet,” he explained.

"I was very nearly settled, wifed up and married off in the countryside at a very young age,” he continued.

Adam further noted how his Love Island experience changed his perception of relationships.

“I went full circle and went on Love Island, and I think it was a saving grace because I think if I hadn't have done that, I would have messed around later in life. But now when I'm ready to settle, I will be ready to settle,” he promised.

The brand-new season of Celebs Go Dating launches this Sunday, August 20, on E4 at 9pm.

Molly Marsh and Zachariah Noble have shared their thoughts on starting a family. 

The couple, who came in fourth place in Love Island, have been thinking about their future together since leaving the villa. 

The pair revealed they would both ‘love to have kids’ together as they opened up about their relationship being ‘for forever’. 

In a new interview with OK!, they spoke about the prospect of future children with Molly admitting, “Ah babies… I am absolutely 100% into having them. If I could click my fingers and fast forward to that part of my life, I absolutely would”.

“That excites me so much. I look at my cousin with her little baby and think that stage of your life is so beautiful. I can’t wait to have kids in the future”.

Zach then shared his thoughts on starting a family when he revealed, “I’m scared because I understand that once it happens, then that will always be my priority, this kid is my life now”.

“As soon as they’re at an age where they know their first goal, my only energy is spent making this kid achieve”.

“But I look forward to that journey in life when it comes because I’m definitely a very family orientated person. I see how my mum was and the sacrifices she made, so I know the love you have for a child is just indescribable”.

The lovebirds also spoke about how there is ‘no pressure’ in their relationship from either party. 

21-year-old Molly lovingly said, “The one thing that I fell in love with about you straight away is the fact there was no pressure. And I feel like we’re never going to stop that throughout life”.

“And I know I want this to be forever. I want this. You said that to me so many times in the villa, and I feel it. There’s no pressure on anything we do. I just know where I want things to go”.

Her 25-year-old boyfriend added, “This is everything I want. It’s weird to think that it’s all come about in a two-month span. I feel no pressure from you and no pressure from myself”.

“Like it’s just how things are meant to be and this is the best I’ve felt about anything. I’m very happy with how this is going. And I’m very happy with where I think it’s going to lead to”.
