Ekin-Su dropped huge clue she’d signed up to Love Island All Stars weeks before launch, says Joe Baggs

EKIN-SU Culculoglu is making a shock return to Love Island as an early bombshell in the All Stars series – but not everyone was surprised by her inclusion.

Podcast host and superfan Joe Baggs and his brother George spotted a sure sign she was preparing for the villa weeks ago.

The Turkish actress turned reality star, 30, has been hammering the gym in preparation for the new series which is set in sunny South Africa.

In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Joe said: “I thought she would be going in because she goes to mine and my brother’s local gym.

“My brother’s seen her in there for the past couple of months. He texts me, I think she’s definitely going in.

“From memory my brother said [she does] stair climber, a lot of stair stepping, I mean a girl after my own heart because that’s what I like to do really.

“There was a lot of rumors wasn’t there with Georges [Berthonneau, Mafs] but I’m pretty sure they just go to the same gym.

“I’ll be interested to see where where she ends up for sure.”

One scenario he’d love to see is Ekin-Su and ex Davide Sanclimenti reunite after their bitter split – though it seems unlikely the Italian stallion will be part of the cast now that he’s settled in the States.

Joe said: “I mean my ideal scenario is Ekin goes in as bombshell they send Davide in Grace [Jackson] comes in steals Davide.

“I keep like plotting loads of things in my head of what could actually happen, but yeah it would just be really interesting to see.

“I think Grace was amazing TV before, so I think if she if she’s definitely going in she’ll be amazing TV again.”

Ekin-Su quickly earned Love Island legend status in 2022 when she arrived as a bombshell and immediately caused chaos by turning heads.

Her secret snog with Jay Younger, in which she crawled to onto the terrace to avoid detection, was an all-time great moment.

She eventually reached the final with Davide and won in a landslide.

Despite making a good go of it in the real world they eventually split after Davide was accused of cheating.

Since then Ekin has appeared on the US version of The Traitors and Celebrity Big Brother.

During her time on CBB she appeared to distance herself from the show, coldly dismissing co-star Colson Smith when he compared it to the rebooted CCTV show.

Her decision to go into the house proved far from the success many were expecting and she ended up staying away entirely from the finale.

Married At First Sight star makes unexpected cameo on hit Channel 5 show and begs for help with nightmare pet

ONE of the stars of Married At First Sight made an unexpected cameo on a hit Channel 5 show.

The former Channel 4 reality personality made a return to TV screens on a new programme this week.

Paul Liba shot to fame when he competed in the eighth series of Married At First Sight UK.

He was paired with childcare assistant Tasha Jay, 27, from Leeds in the popular social experiment.

On the show the duo had their troubles, but they lasted the course and decided to give their marriage a go after the show.

Sadly, they both decided to end their romance a year after the reality series concluded.

However, it seems the 28-year-old star has made a huge comeback to television screens on a new show.

He appeared on the Channel 5 show, Dogs Behaving Very Badly, with his nightmare canine companion.

After his first reality stint, he moved to the UK countryside and got a pet to help him enjoy the scenery.

However, his two-year-old Bantam bulldog named Jasmine chases “everything” when he takes her for a walk.

This includes jumping through bushes to chase geese at the local park, as seen on the factual programme.

According to the programme, the star is becoming “famous for all the wrong reasons” as he begged for help training his dog.

Mafs couples that have stood the test of time

Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.

The pair couldn’t keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam’s Doncaster home.

Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.

Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.

Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: “I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out – and excited for everything to come.”

Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.

Owen recalled: “I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.

“While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.

“The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if I signed up?’

“A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.”

Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.

Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna’s vegan lifestyle, the show’s first same sex pairing are still going strong.

They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.

Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: “We’re not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship.”

“It is definitely embarrassing when I walk Jasmine and she’s run up to another dog and they’re like ‘oh, you’re from Married At First Sight.

“I have a dog that can’t be controlled and everyone knows who I am.”

He added that his ex-partner from the show isn’t a big fan of the pup in question.

Paul added: “Tasha thinks Jasmine is quite spoilt.”

Royal fans say the same thing as Archie and Lilibet heard speaking over Meghan Markle’s tribute to dead dog Guy

MEGHAN Marke has released an emotional video to pay tribute to her beloved pet beagle Guy who has passed away – and it included Archie and Lilibet’s voices. 

Royal fans were quick to comment on the sweet addition, which came over never-before-seen clips of her life with her rescue Beagle.

The video compilation ends with audio of Archie, five, Lilibet, three, and Meghan singing: “We love you Guy, oh yes we do.”

One royal fan commented: “The kids’ beautiful voices”.

Meanwhile, another said: “As soon as Lili started singing I literally lost it.”

Meghan also showed new pictures and videos of her family in California, alongside revealing she has “cried too many tears to count”.

Prince Harry who is seen on a walk with Guy and Archie – while Lilibet is seen on a picnic with Meghan and the little pet.

The tribute video begins with a 2015 snap of Guy before a clip of Meghan kissing him on a bed.

There are then several pics of the two snuggling together before Harry is seen with Guy while his front leg is in plaster.

Another photograph shows the dog on a bed with Union Jack flag sheets, as well as in home video footage of him with Meghan’s other dogs, and in professional shots together.

Archie is then seen holding his lead as he takes him on a walk with Harry in an unseen video from the family album.

Another clip offers a glimpse inside regular family life, as Archie warns his mum the dog is “gonna fall” while standing inside their car.

She responds: “He’s not gonna fall, don’t you worry, Mama has him.”

In the next clip Harry cries “come on, Guy! Good job” as the dog runs along the beach.

The dog is set to take on a starring role in Meghan’s cooking Netflix show With Love, Meghan, which launches on January 15.

Meghan added: “Because many of you will now see Guy in this new series, I hope you’ll come to understand why I am so devastated by his loss. I think you may fall a little bit in love too.”

Meghan, 43, said she’s been left in floods of tears over the loss of Guy, who she rescued the year before she met Prince Harry in 2016.

She said in the post: “Thank you for so many years of unconditional love, my sweet Guy. You filled my life in ways you’ll never know.”

Meghan’s adoption

The duchess adopted the beagle in 2015 from a rescue shelter in Canada where he was referred to as “the little guy” due to his tiny size and frail condition.

She previously posted about him on social media as well as her blog The Tig, which was taken down after she became a royal in 2018.

Meghan explained how Guy had a “terrible accident” shortly before she moved to the UK and doctors said he would never walk again.

She said her and Harry would visit him in Surrey over several months as he recovered, and has praised those who helped in.

Guy quickly stole the show on moving into Kensington Palace and even “wrote” his own book about his “rags to riches” tale, which hit shops in November 2018.

The book was called His Royal Dogness, The Rebarkable True Story of Meghan Markle‘s Rescue Dog, and Guy is listed as one of the “authors”.

The story follows the beagle’s journey, from getting lost in the woods in Kentucky, to being rescued by the then-actress Meghan, and eventually setting off on his royal adventure to London.

It comes after Meghan made a bombshell return to social media last week with a video of her running along a beach barefoot and writing 2025 in the sand.

The tribute to Guy is just the third post on the account.

Meghan's full tribute to Guy the dog

In Memory of Guy

In 2015, I adopted a beagle from a dog rescue in Canada.

He had been at a kill shelter in Kentucky and given a few days to live. I swooped him up….and fell in love.

They referred to him as ‘the little guy’ because he was so small and frail, so I named him ‘Guy’.

And he was the best guy any girl could have asked for.

If you followed me on instagram back in the day, you saw a lot of him – and on The Tig too.

He was with me at Suits, when I got engaged, (and then married), when I became a mom….he was with me for everything: the quiet, the chaos, the calm, the comfort.

He endured a terrible accident shortly before I moved to the UK which had him undergoing surgeries for several months and unable to leave the clinic.

Doctors said he would never walk again, but Dr Noel Fitzpatrick said he could do it.

H and I would drive late at night, after hours, to see Guy as he recovered in Surrey for months on end.

I will always be grateful to Noel and his team, the team at Queen West Animal Hospital in TO, our vets now, and my friends and community: Thank you for loving him so.

Because many of you will now see Guy in this new series, I hope you’ll come to understand why I am so devastated by his loss. I think you may fall a little bit in love too.

I have cried too many tears to count – the type of tears that make you get in the shower with the absurd hope that the running water on your face will somehow make you not feel them, or pretend they’re not there. But they are.

And that’s okay too.

Thank you for so many years of unconditional love, my sweet Guy. You filled my life in ways you’ll never know

As ever,
Meghan

Meghan’s new show

Meghan has also shared a trailer for With Love, Meghan in which the Suits star will share tips on cooking, gardening, crafting, flower arranging and hosting.

Guests on the Netflix show will include celebrated chef Alice Waters, actress Mindy Kaling and close friend Abigail Spencer, one of Meghan’s former co-stars.

Prince Harry also appears briefly in the trailer for the eight-episode series.

“I have been so excited to share this with you! I hope you love the show as much as I loved making it,” the Duchess of Sussex wrote on Instagram.

She added: “Beyond grateful for the support – and fun!”

Who is Wolf on The Masked Singer 2025? Latest clues and fan theories

WHILE it’s a fun singalong for viewers trying to work out each character’s secret identity, The Masked Singer is also a crooning competition every entrant wants to win.

Here we take a look at the possible identity of Wolf, including the clues given, as well as the judges’ and fans’ guesses so far.

Who is Wolf on The Masked Singer 2025?

Each year The Masked Singer invites a new crop of celebs in elaborate costumes to take to the stage and impress the judges with their singing skills in the hopes of being crowned champion.

Fans of the show are already obsessed with working out the identities of the twelve secret stars, who are hiding behind personas including Tattoo, Toad In The HoleDressed CrabSnail and Bush.

Wolf is one of the mysterious masks on the show — they are also decked out in leather boots and a waistcoat.

What are the clues?

A number of clues about Wolf’s identity have been given, including:

  • A T-shirt with “Wolf Pack” written on it
  • References to “two sides to every story” and “take me as I am”
  • Mentions of “good foundations” and a “bishop behind the camera”
  • Imagery of bowling pins and a ball
  • Clues about a ship and being perceived as “big” or “bad”

Wolf’s riddle was: “You wanna know more about little old me, if the three little pigs had listened to my advice no huffing or puffing would’ve blown those houses down.

“As a wolf, I’ve held dominion over everything I see, wild woods, creek or cave, that’s my territory.”

Who do the judges think Wolf could be?

In the second episode of the 2025 series, when Wolf first appeared, judges Mo Gilligan, Davina McCall, Maya Jama and Jonathan Ross were joined by Vicky McClure.

While the panel of judges has weighed in on Wolf’s identity, they have not reached a consensus between themselves

Their guesses so far include Mike Skinner, David Tennant, Jason DonovanSimon Le Bon and Bono.

Who do The Masked Singer fans think Wolf is?

The majority of armchair detectives seem to have come to the same conclusion regarding Wolf’s identity.

They have been speculating online that former Wet Wet Wet frontman Marti Pellow had swapped the studio for The Masked Singer stage.

One posted: “Wolf is 100,000 per cent Marti Pellow, so many of his vocal notes in that performance.”

Another guessed: “That’s Marti Pellow as Wolf. I’m telling you, I know his voice anywhere.”

A third added: “I’ve been a fan of Marti since I was 13 and would recognise that voice anywhere.”
