contestant as Maura Higgins and Megan Barton-Hansen. All bombshells in their own right, they’re the kind of girls that I’d most probably keep at arm’s length upon first meeting IRL—through intimidation and little else, to be honest—but who each grew on me in the same way my desire for 13 new does every summer. Slowly, surely, and with conviction.Yet this week, as the nation basks in the wonderful news of Ekin-Su and fellow Love Island season eight winner Davide Sanclimenti’s upcoming series—they’re going to be cooking and eating their way around Turkey and Italy—it’s the Turkish Delight of Love Island UK whom I’m declaring the most iconic bombshell of them all.

A 'beautiful' mum-of-two who 'made everyone smile' took her own life after her mental health spiralled when she found a lump on her breast.
Michelle Cooke had suffered with mental health issues since the age of 16, her mum Janet Filipe said. The 37-year-old had previously tried to take her own life, the Liverpool Echo reports.
She was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and often turned to alcohol when she began to struggle. When Michelle, from Crosby, found a lump on her breast on July 27, her mental health spiralled as she feared the worst, Janet said.

Janet said her daughter rang the doctors to try and make an appointment but took her life the next morning after a day and night of drinking. She leaves behind her two twins Jaimee and Tyler.
"She had everything going for her but she had this lump on her breast on her mind", Janet, 67, said. I remember she went to Turkey when she was pregnant and she said it was the last holiday before she had children with her and since her death, we've had people she met 12 years ago there ringing up about her.
"That's the type of person she was, a beautiful, caring person. She would spend so much time helping people. She helped the homeless and cooked meals for them. That was her and that was my daughter."
Michelle's mum has now also called for more support for people who are suffering from poor mental health. She has said that there weren't enough services to help her daughter.
She said: "There's not enough help for people like Michelle. There needs to be more support for people suffering from mental health problems."
Michelle's family are now raising money for her funeral. To read more and donate, click here.
