THE Love Island girls reunited as they enjoyed a boozy night out – but not everyone joined the party.
Last night, the Islanders who seem to have formed a clique went out for dinner and drinks in London.

SplashBut Grace Jackson was missing from the reunion[/caption]
Present was Jessy, Mimii, Patsy, Nicole, Uma, Matila, Jess W, Harriet, and Jess S.
The girls looked in good spirits as they partied at South American restaurant Inca London in Mayfair.
But Grace Jackson was nowhere to be seen, leading fans to suspect a secret feud had broken out between co-stars.
Instead, the Manchester-based model was seen enjoying herself in Ibiza, where she appears to have extended her stay.
The trio was captured embracing and dancing joyfully on a yacht, with Cyndi Lauper’s iconic anthem “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” blaring from the speakers.
The Sun revealed how the 25-year-old signed a whopping contract with fashion and shoe brand EGO following her stint in the villa.
A rep for Grace told The Sun: “We are so excited to announce after multiple offers Grace has signed a deal with EGO worth six figures.
“Grace has always loved EGO and the creative ideas really align with her style and personality.
“No other islander has done anything like this for a first brand deal and we know it’s going to be a huge moment for Grace.”
Love Island - Big-money fashion deals REVEALED
LOVE Island's Grace Jackson has bagged a six-figure fashion deal with EGO - but who else has triumphed from the 2024 cohort?
The Sun exclusively revealed how the Manchester model, 25, has signed a whopping contract with fashion and shoe brand EGO after being inundated with offers following her stint in the villa.
Meanwhile, mental health nurse Mimii, 24 – who triumphed in the show final – is also “set for million pound deals” as brands clamour to work with her.
A source was first to tell us: “Mimii has been taking back to back meetings with five agencies who are all bidding to sign her up.
“She’s being promised everything from TV shows to beauty deals to fashion lines – all worth up to a million.
“Anyone would expect her to rush into signing big money deals but she’s taking her time choosing who she works with.”
Love Island alumni Molly Smith, 30 – who had a second stab during this year’s All Stars series – also scooped a Boohoo deal following her stint on the spin-off.
Instagram @chelseafcChelsea’s third kit has a punk rock theme attached to it[/caption]
All four football teams have had third kits made for them, but there’s something unique about Chelsea, Liverpool and Spurs’.
Their third kits have the classic Nike swooshes turned vertically, with a smaller swoosh alongside it.
The change was first seen at Old Trafford where Liverpool wore their third shirt in their 3-0 win over Manchester United – and fans are wondering what it’s all about.
Why are the Nike logos different on Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham kits?
Nike’s decision to change the logo is inspired by their aim to celebrate the rise of women’s football.
Liverpool’s third kit features a white and red and black colour scheme while Chelsea’s is black, pink and yellow.
Tottenham’s is predominantly green with yellow and mint green trim.
“Unveiling The 2024/25 Club third kit collection, Together We Rise, built to celebrate the women’s game from grassroots to greatness,” their explanation reads.
“Intentional vertical swoosh to show the upwards rise, togetherness and acceleration of women’s football.”
Chelsea said of the change: “A vertical, double swoosh nods to the acceleration of the women’s game.
“Two logos. Two teams. One goal. Worn by both the men’s and women’s squads, it points upward to celebrate the rise of women’s football.”

IT’S the new school year for millions of kids and just like most parents, mum-of-four Carla Bellucci will also be dropping her children off by the gates.
But for the 42-year-old beauty, from the leafy Hertfordshire, the daily school run will also come with dirty looks from ”mum-zillas” who judge her outfits.
SuppliedThe former glamour model has hit back at the trolls who’ve labelled her ‘a total slag’[/caption]
SuppliedCarla first hit headlines after faking depression to blag a free nose job on the NHS[/caption]
SuppliedScroll down to see some of the nasty messages the mum has received[/caption]
Carla, who’s previously admitted to being one of the most hated mums in the UK, said that no matter what she wears, trolls will have something to say.
”I can’t win with these mum-zillas,” she said in an exclusive chat wit Fabulous.
”I dress casual in dress or even maxi dress, and I get accused of wanting attention,” revealed the mum who’s often told she’s desperately trying to seduce and ”tease other dads” – despite being married.
In some cases, Carla claimed, she even gets called nasty names and accusations of ”trying to gain attention” from fellow male parents by the school gates.
Posing in a figure-hugging midi dress with a flattering square neckline and a sleek ponytail, the 42-year-old said she’s been branded ”a total slag”.
”So the next day I would wear a maxi dress and casual it down with a jacket and I get told I’m trying to look 18 and I’m so sad for dressing so young I’m trying to be 18!”
I think I look great and the other mum-zillas are actually minging.

The following day, Carla arrived at school sporting ”a nice maxi colourful outfit” – but it wasn’t long until she was met with an army of rude remarks from others.
”I got called a fat wannabe in this dress and told my kids are ashamed to have me as a mum,” said Carla who said the comments were ”absolutely appalling”.
In her eyes, the continuous criticism is simply a result of one thing – jealousy.
”I think I look great and the other mum-zillas are actually minging, the ones that troll me look like crap, it’s so embarrassing.”
The influencer, who’s had multiple tweakments over the year including breast implants, botox and lip fillers, even tried to hit back at the bullies, wearing a T-shirt with a slogan urging others to ”be kind”.
The mum has been shamed for dressing like ‘a teenager’SuppliedCarla doesn’t seem to be too bothered about the rude remarks and knows her body is ‘banging’Supplied
However, the move went unnoticed by the parents of her kids’ school who said the outfit was better suited to a teenager more than 20 years younger.
”They still said I looked horrific and I’m trying to dress like a teen.
”I thought I couldn’t go wrong in jeans and a T-shirt.
”But clearly I can’t help it if my body is curvy and banging.”
The former glamour model, mum to Jermaine, 20, Tanisha, 18 and Jayden, 16 and Blu Gianna, previously revealed that she walks around naked around her kids because “it’s only a pair of t*ts”.

“They’re sacrificing themselves for these kids to sit on TikTok and pretend they’re famous – come on.
“People say I’m a terrible mum but kids are ending up as morons who think they are going to [make it on there].
“Keeping them into studies until they’re 18 is crazy and that’s why they have no work ethic.
”Keeping them into studies until they’re 18 is crazy and that’s why they have no work ethic,” said Carla who claimed to already have her first-ever house by that point.

CASEMIRO’S wife has responded to criticism of the Manchester United star by sharing an incredible snap of his trophy cabinet.
The midfielder was hooked off at half-time after a disastrous display in the 3-0 defeat to Liverpool yesterday.

@annamarianacasemiroCasemiro’s wife Anna Mariana hit back at critics[/caption]
AFPThe couple have been married for ten years[/caption]
Casemiro had a nightmare 45 minutes, giving the ball away in the build-up to Luis Diaz opening the scoring and he was then robbed in possession as the Colombian made it two.
But Casemiro’s wife Anna Mariana has hit back at the criticism by posting a photo of his glittering trophy cabinet.
The five Champions Leagues he won at Real Madrid are shown off alongside several other trophies.
But the reminder of Casemiro’s past successes will not make Man Utd fans forget his horror show against Liverpool.
Keane fumed at half-time on Sky Sports: “Same old problems. Man Utd look very open.
“Mistakes from Casemiro for all his experience. They are all over the place. Casemiro must be aware of what’s around him.”
Carragher added: “He’s had such a great career and won everything you can possibly win, and it is a sad sight seeing what he’s going through out there.
“A poor pass can happen any time, but the second one, getting knocked over, he looks shattered as he’s falling over.”
Gary Neville said: “Casemiro, for a player of such experience the amount of times he gives the ball away in bad areas.
“I would go as far as saying Casemiro has lost his confidence a bit.
“For someone who has won Champions Leagues galore – it can happen to you in games.”
Casemiro, who earns a whopping £350,000-a-week after his £70million move from to Man Utd two years ago, was close to leaving the club amid interest from Saudi Arabia in the summer.
But SunSport exclusively revealed how Erik ten Hag axed plans to get rid of him after being impressed by the player in pre-season and during the first two Premier League games of the campaign.
Casemiro did not want to leave United and the threat of being sold was said to have given him a jolt.
After a difficult season last year as he battled injuries and poor performances, he is said to have returned from his summer holiday fit and raring to go.
Ten Hag insists Casemiro is still a vital member of the team despite being subbed off at half-time, saying: “Why I subbed him was because we are 2-0 down against an opponent with their qualities, they are very good.
“We had to take risks because we want to bounce back, then you need players in midfield to cover ground, therefore we put Toby Collyer on the pitch.
“I think that in football everyone has to take responsibility. I’m sure he is a great character and he won everything in his career that you can imagine.
“I am sure he will keep contributing to our team and Casemiro is always winning so he will be there.”
Man Utd player ratings vs Liverpool
MANCHESTER UNITED had a horror show against Liverpool as they lost 3-0.
Casemiro was so bad he was taken off at half-time.
But were there any positive performances at Old Trafford?
Andre Onana – 5 Nothing he could do about any of Liverpool’s goals and made a few saves to prevent the scoreline from getting worse.
Noussair Mazraoui – 5 Came close to scoring in the first half and looked solid enough against Diaz although he did push up too high before Liverpool’s opener.
Matthijs de Ligt – 4 Left Diaz and Domink Szobozslai in acres of space for the opening goal but was left in a tricky spot thanks to Casemiro’s error.
Booked for a shocking late tackle on Diaz.
Lisandro Martinez – 3 Lost Diaz for the second goal which meant the Colombian was able to score unmarked from the penalty spot.
Also guilty of giving away the ball too easily and was not tight enough with his marking.
Diogo Dalot – 4 Was caught out pushing up too quickly for the first goal and did not do enough to stop Mo Salah’s cross in the build-up to Liverpool’s second.
Looked dangerous in attack at times but too infrequently as he had plenty of defensive work to do since Rashford did not track Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Casemiro – 2 A horror show in the first half as he gave the ball away in the lead up to both of Liverpool’s goals.
He was caught on the ball for the second after a shocking misplaced pass left his defence vulnerable for the opening goal. Hooked at half-time.
Kobbie Mainoo – 4 Fell victim to the Casemiro curse as he was shrugged off the ball in a terrible position, allowing Liverpool to add a third with ease.
Bruno Fernandes – 5 Was United’s most creative spark but that is not saying much. Tried to get his side going in the first half but looked short of ideas and inspiration after the break.
Alejandro Garnacho – 4 Still appears to be a little rusty and is yet to hit the heights he reached last season.
Marcus Rashford – 3 Nothing came off for the out-of-sorts forward who must be running out of chances before he is dropped.
Joshua Zirkzee – 4 Quiet up-front and had little influence on the wing as well, but missed a clear-cut chance with his head and should have turned in Rashford’s cross which he met at the far post.
Subs Tom Collyer (for Casemiro, HT) – 5 A difficult game for the youngster to make his Premier League debut but he put himself about and won a few tackles.
Harry Maguire (for De Ligt, 69mins) – 5 Shored things up at the back as Liverpool took their foot off the pedal.
Amad (for Garnacho, 69mins) – 5 Provided a spark on the right and looked more lively than Garnacho.
Christian Eriksen (for Zirkzee, 86mins) – N/A Not on long enough to make an impact.

Benefits of brainteasers and optical illusions
Researchers have developed many tests to show how various brain regions react to brainteasers and optical illusions. There are many benefits.
They are not only entertaining, but they also shed light on how our brains interpret visual data.
By giving your brain a little workout regularly, you enhance your ability to focus and observe details.
Studies have shown people who regularly challenge themselves with optical illusions and puzzles see big improvements in their problem-solving skills, concentration, and attention.
Improved concentration and attention span can help prevent cognitive decline in old age.
Optical illusions can improve eyesight by allowing you to see small print.
