Stunning Love Islander lined up as bombshell for US Games show in bid to crack America

A stunning Love Island UK star has been lined up as a bombshell for season 2 of US Games. 

Two Brit Love Islanders have already been announced for the show and now a third will be added to the mix in a bid for her to crack America.

Irish lass Catherine Agbaje, 25, is taking another shot at love and money as she enters the villa for a third time.

The brunette bombshell first appeared on the ITV2 dating show back in 2023 but failed to find love on the show.

During her first time in the villa Catherine coupled up with Zachariah Noble, Scott van der Sluis and Elom Ahlijah-Wilson.

While she left the villa with Elom, Catherine was left heartbroken when things didn’t work out with Scott.

She went back for a second time on All Stars and met Omar Nyame and the two coupled up eventually exiting the show together. 

Omar and Catherine managed to reach the final during their stint, finishing in fourth place. 

But, the couple failed to make it work once the show ended and they went back to their normal lives.

Now Catherine will be trying her luck in Love Island Games as a bombshell, an insider told us: “Catherine has flown out to Fiji and is in holding right now – she’s being lined up as a bombshell for Love Island Games. 

“She didn’t find love the first two times around on the ITV show – but wants to find a man and crack the US this time!”

Catherine’s rep and Peacock have been contacted for comment.

Series two of Love Island Games kicks off on Wednesday, September 16 and UK viewers will recognise a few of those taking part

The spin-off will bring together iconic Islanders from the UK, USA, France, Malta, Belgium and the Netherlands. 

Lucinda Strafford, who shot to fame on series seven of the UK version before appearing in Love Island Australia series five, and series 10’s Tyrique Hyde will both be part of the starting line-up. 

But Harriett Blackmore – from series 11 and All Stars series two – and Toby Aromolaran, who first appeared on the same series as Lucinda before returning for the first All Stars spin-off in 2023, will make a splash with late entrances

Meanwhile, fellow Islander and All Stars winner Gabby Allen has also signed up for the Games spin-off.

She agreed to take part in the upcoming series filmed in the US after her split from Casey O’Gorman.

Horse racing tips: ‘Red-hot trainer has him lined up to win’ – Templegate’s 9-2 NAP at Goodwood

TEMPLEGATE tackles Tuesday’s racing confident of banging in a few winners.

Back a horse by clicking their odds below.

SIXPACK (4.08 Goodwood, nap)

He went down by a nose when backed here last time and has been freshened up since. Conditions should be spot on and his canny trainer James Owen can ready one for a decent pot. Any juice in the ground would be welcome and he has a big chance.

ROACH POWER (2.58 Goodwood, nb)

Looks fully charged up. This is a big drop in class for Michael Wigham’s sprinter and the quirky track is no issue at all.

KODI FIRE (7.45 Wolverhampton, treble)

Is in flying form and has the handicapper on the run. His draw is fine and he has the services of champion jockey-to-be Oisin Murphy on board now.

Aaron Ramsey lined up for shock transfer to MEXICO as swoop for Arsenal legend, 34, ‘close to confirmation’

FORMER Arsenal star Aaron Ramsey is being targeted by Mexican giants Pumas as Cardiff City dither over offering him the full-time manager’s post.

Ramsey took the reins at Cardiff City Stadium in April and oversaw the Bluebirds’ final three Championship matches of the season.

But two draws and a defeat condemned them to relegation to League One.

The 34-year-old’s playing contract expires at the end of the month and the club’s plans for Ramsey remain a mystery.

Any hopes they had of appointing Nathan Jones ended on Friday when the boyhood Cardiff fan signed a new deal at Charlton. 

Ramsey came through the ranks at Cardiff before joining the Gunners in 2008 for just under £5m.

He went on to make over 350 appearances and win FA Cup three times, featuring alongside Mexican star Carlos Vela for a number of years.

Now he has a chance to continue playing in Liga MX with Guadalajara-based Pumas – Vela’s hometown club.

Ramsey, who has not played a game for Cardiff since March, is a target for the Pumas, according to Mexican TV reporter Andres Vaca.

He told the Seleccione2 podcast: “I don’t know if they’re selling me smoke, they just told me that Aaron Ramsey is going to join Pumas.

“They told me it’s almost a confirmation.”

The Mexican club tried to tempt Vela, 36, to reverse his decision to retire last week.

Devastated Aaron Ramsey and Cardiff City flops forced to rush to AWARDS NIGHT just moments after being relegated

Pumas coach Efrain Juarez, who played alongside Vela for the Mexican national team, revealed his attempt in a FOX Sports interview this week.

Their attention has now turned to Ramsey, who made it clear that he wanted to return to the pitch when he assumed interim charge of Cardiff.

He said in April: “I am just taking these three games.

“I’m still recovering from a hamstring operation, I’m still in the middle of rehab and I’m focused on getting back to full fitness.”

Huge Hollywood star secretly being lined up for surprise Glastonbury set

HOLLYWOOD is coming to Somerset . . . at least if organisers get their way.

I can reveal that Oscar-nominee Timothee Chalamet is being lined up to make a surprise appearance at next month’s Glastonbury Festival.

But rather than take to the Pyramid Stage before 200,000 fans, Timothée is likely to opt for the more humble Acoustic Stage.

In stark comparison to the main stage, the tent only has space for a few thousand people.

I’m told Timothée, will perform with Bob Dylan tribute band Not Completely Unknown.

The group are billed to appear on Saturday.

Timothée has received critical acclaim for his portrayal of the music legend in Bafta-nominated 2024 film A Complete Unknown.

During the biopic Timothée is seen singing and performing some of Bob’s biggest hits himself, rather than simply miming to them. The actor had originally pre-recorded the vocals, but bosses ditched them in favour of live vocals during each take after hearing him sing on set.

Timothée said: “It was important for me to sing and play live.

“Because if I can actually do it, why should there be an element of artifice here?

“And I’m proud that we took that leap.”

He added: “To watch actors do karaoke really isn’t that interesting.”

Timothee Chalamet’s sister Pauline ‘can’t stand’ Kylie Jenner and once-close siblings now have ‘deep rift’ between them

He plays both the piano and the guitar in the hit movie, which was nominated for eight Oscars.

Earlier this year Timothée performed several Dylan songs on the popular American TV show Saturday Night Live.

As well as Dylan’s 1965 track Outlaw Blues, the actor also performed Three Angels and Tomorrow Is a Long Time.

This year’s Glastonbury festival looks set to be another vintage year with Olivia Rodrigo, The 1975 and Neil Young all set to perform headline sets.

Sir Rod Stewart will follow in the footsteps of Shania Twain, Kylie Minogue and Dolly Parton and take on the famous Legend slot on Sunday afternoon.

Seeing Timothée in action down at Worthy Farm would be epic, and if his girlfriend Kylie Jenner also makes it over to Somerset to watch him perform then we could well be looking at Glastonbury history.

THINGS are getting serious with Madonna and her toyboy partner Akeem Morris, as she threw him a lavish 29th birthday party at the weekend.

They looked loved-up in snaps shared on Instagram and he made his feelings towards the Queen of Pop clear by referring to her as “wifey.”

He wrote: “All I can say is thank you. Thank you wifey.

“It meant so much to have the people I love and respect all in one room. It was a special night, and the energy in the room was nothing but love.”

She laid on a bash in a private bar in New York, which was attended by four of her six children – David, Mercy, and twins Estere and Stella – and got YG Marley to perform a special set.

The singer, whose track Praise Jah In The Moonlight was a hit last year, is the son of The Fugees’ Lauryn Hill and Rohan Marley, the son of reggae icon Bob.

Madonna wrote on Instagram: “Happy Birthday to my favorite Taurus,” to which Akeem replied: “I LOVE YOU.”

TYLA STRIPES IT UP

THE Met Gala was held in the early hours of this morning, giving celebrities the chance to wear their wackiest outfits and pass them off as high fashion.

But South African singer Tyla got in on the act early when she wore this glaring orange and black dress with a gigantic matching hat, which I’m surprised even fit inside the car she had just hopped out of.

The Water singer used the streets as her catwalk while out in New York, and she had good reason, as she has just announced that her new single, Bliss, will be out on Friday.

Tyla will be over here in August when she performs at the All Points East Festival in London in a line-up featuring Raye, Jade and Doechii.

Here’s hoping that she’s in something a bit less constricting when she takes to the stage.

ALL TOOTH MUCH FOR KYLE

EUROVISION might be as fun as pulling teeth for some people and for Norway’s act Kyle Alessandro, it really is.

Moments after completing his first rehearsal on stage in Basel on Sunday, Kyle was rushed to hospital to have one of his wisdom teeth taken out.

Referencing his song Lighter, which he will perform at next Tuesday’s first semi-final, he wrote on Instagram: “One tooth lighter.”

His team said he could barely open his mouth because he was in so much pain before the operation.

UK act Remember Monday have their first rehearsal this Thursday, but are now 14th favourites with their song What The Hell Just Happened? and given there’s 37 acts, that’s not half bad.

BEY’S JUST A GAG COPA-CAT

LADY GAGA played the most-attended gig ever by a female artist when she headlined Rio de Janeiro’s Copacabana Beach on Saturday, but that record could soon be broken.

It’s claimed Beyonce is already in talks to follow suit and play a mega show there next year.

Gaga’s concert was put on for free by the city in a bid to boost the economy, with it believed to have brought £75million to the area.

Now locals will be hoping Bey signs on the dotted line and they can see her for free too – even if it is from miles away.

I was impressed by the sheer number of people who came to Gaga’s show, but I for one know I’d have hated to have been at the back of that crowd.

MAROON TURNS TO PINK

MAROON 5’s Adam Levine was one lucky man, getting to work – and pose – with Blackpink‘s Lisa.

She looked amazing in a snakeskin dress in the artwork for their new collaboration Priceless, which came out on Friday and earned the band their biggest first day ever on the Spotify chart when it was streamed 2.48million times in 24 hours.

Lisa insisted a new Blackpink record is “coming soon” – their first since 2022’s Born Pink – ahead of a summer tour including two nights at Wembley Stadium.

She added: “We were in the studio a few days ago.”

DUA HAS RADICAL FEELING

DUA LIPA’s Radical Optimism world tour is yet to hit the UK, but the star is already working on her follow-up record.

The Training Season singer has spent the last few days in the studio in New York and shared snaps of her time there on Instagram.

During her time in the Big Apple, she also attended an intimate gig by Miley Cyrus, who she previously worked with on the track Prisoner – although I’m not expecting another collaboration.

Dua kicks off her tour again on Sunday in Madrid before reaching London, Liverpool and Dublin next month.

I doubt we will have any new tunes by then, but it gives me hope that there might be something to hear next year, once her global jaunt finally ends in December.


FLORENCE PUGH has a box-office hit on her hands.

New movie Thunderbolts* took £122m globally in its first three days.

The Marvel superhero film, which also stars Sebastian Stan and David Harbour, has been a hit with fans, despite mixed reviews from critics.
