Star cast 13 reasons why

Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix is set to join Meagan Good in a new Lifetime movie.

Madix, 37 – who’s been dealing with the fallout from the end of her nine-year-relationship from Tom Sandoval , 39, following his cheating scandal – will star in Buying Back My Daughter, according to Deadline .

The plot of the movie follows a mother who finds her missing teenage daughter is being sex trafficked on an escort website.

Madix will play the role of police officer Karen, who helps to investigate the case, with which she has a personal connection.

The movie – which is currently filming – will also star Roger Cross and Faith Wright.

Buying Back My Daughter is directed by Troy Scott and written by Barbara Marshall. The film is produced by Front Street Pictures and Charles Cooper.

Madix also has plenty of screen time on the new Season 10 of Vanderpump Rules, which started airing before it was reported that Sandoval was cheating on Madix with co-star Raquel Leviss, 28.

It brought about the demise of their long-term relationship, with the split being dubbed ‘Scandoval.’

Bravo has captured the fallout from the drama, which will be shown on the second part of the current season.

It comes after Madix threw some major shade at Raquel on Tuesday. The reality TV beauty was spotted out on a coffee run with a friend when she was asked if Leviss had apologized to her since the news broke.

She fired back: ‘I don’t know who you’re talking about.’

Leviss and Sandoval’s ‘full blown love affair’ was exposed earlier this month to the shock of Madix, who has since ended her romance with the restaurateur.

She broke her silence on the matter last week in a lengthy Instagram post, where she admitted to being ‘devastated and broken’ but grateful for her supporters.

As to how Madix has been holding up, she insisted that she’s been doing ‘good’ despite Sandoval’s betrayal.

Madix recently made her first statement after learning about the affair, which sent shockwaves across the internet.

The reality star took to Instagram last Wednesday to share a stunning snap of herself with a lengthy caption addressing the scandal while thanking her friends including her castmates for their support during what she described as her ‘darkest hours.’

She wrote: ‘hi. where to begin? i want to express my most sincere gratitude for the outpouring of love and support i have received from friends, family, and people i’ve never even met in the last two weeks.

‘when i have felt like i couldn’t even stand, you all have given me the strength to continue and seen me through my darkest hours. to say i have been devastated and broken is an understatement. however, i know that i am not in this alone.’

Madix continued: so many of my closest friends are also grieving this loss right now and reeling from this betrayal on so many levels. i am so f***ing lucky to have the best support system in the world and i hope i can repay every single person for the love you have shown me.

‘what doesn’t kill me better run. love, ariana’

An explosive mid-season trailer for Vanderpump Rules that dropped on Monday documented Sandoval’s now infamous love affair with Leviss which ends with his longtime partner Madix wishing death upon him.

The intense minute-long clip was released on Monday morning as there was plenty of footage of the fallout from the scandal which threw the entire cast into chaos.

The drama all comes to a head at the end of the video when Sandoval asks Madix: ‘Do you want anything?’

She coldly replies: ‘For you to die.’

Sandoval is also shown amorously kissing a blindfolded woman but it remains unclear who that woman is as it was recently confirmed that he had an affair with Leviss.

Vanderpump Rules season 10 airs Wednesday nights at 9pm on Bravo.

LOVE Island is back – with a new batch of villa stars dusting off their bikinis and diving into TV’s wildest dating show.

Here, we reveal the boys and girls who will be heading poolside when the show returns next Monday.

And as Love Island host Maya Jama revealed on Good Morning Britain today, it’s viewers who will choose who couples with who.

So it’s time to play matchmaker as we reveal the names and pictures of this year’s sun-loving cast…

THE GIRLS

Ruchee Gurung, 24

Beautician from Sutton

Fans are already going wild for stunning Ruchee Gurung – who has been branded “gorgeous” by countless viewers.

However, the star in the making has already set out the sort of man she has absolutely no time for.

Ruchee said: “Guys with no ambition. I also get the ick if I see a guy wearing white jeans and red trainers. Another one is super skinny jeans when they look like leggings.

“Fashion is such an important thing for me. If I go on a date and the guy isn’t wearing something I like, I’m going home.”

OK producers, keep that EasyJet on standby…

Molly Marsh, 21

Musical Theatre Performer and Social Media Creator from Doncaster

Beautiful Molly Marsh isn’t any stranger to either fame or the Love Island villa.

Her mum Janet has appeared on Coronation Street and she’s visited both the houses in Majorca and South Africa.

She said: “With my job being in social media, I’ve had some amazing opportunities to go on press trips and I’ve actually been out to the Love Island Villas in Mallorca and South Africa.

“Having the experience to walk around both was amazing but to now actually live in the villa is going to be incredible.”

Catherine Agbaje, 22

Commercial Real Estate Agent from Dublin

Irish estate agent Catherine Agbaje insists: “I’m fun, I’m flirty, I’m just never boring. I can chat your ears off!”

The Dublin girl, who has degrees in psychology and aociology and real estate said friends would describe her as: “Someone who is fun and a loving character.

“They know I have so much love to give. I’m always smiling, I’m always happy, I’m always laughing. You’ll always see me with a smile on my face.”

Ella Thomas, 23

Supermodel from Glasgow

Scottish supermodel Ella Thomas is joining the line-up – described as “breathtaking to look at”.

A source told The Sun yesterday: “Bosses have swayed towards more regular girl and boy next door hotties in recent years but casting Ella marks a step change.”

Before going into the villa, Ella said: “I’d let the boys know that I’m wifey material so don’t play with me!”

Jess Harding, 22

Beautician from London

The Sun revealed on Saturday that glam beauty salon owner Jess had been signed up for the summer series.

A source explained: “Jess is one of the most glamorous islanders ever and is sure to be a big hit with the boys and viewers.”

But there are a string of reasons a boy might not be a hit with her.

She said: “When a guy stunts for money, that’s an ick. Showing off all their designer clothes because most of the time they’re probably fake anyway!

“Another one is when a boy runs for the train and the train goes without him. Lunch Boxes also – just go to Tesco and get a meal deal!”

THE BOYS

Tyrique Hyde , 24

Semi-professional footballer from Essex

It just wouldn’t be Love Island without a footballer who you’ve never heard of.

This year we welcome Tyrique , who is best friends with Toby Aromolaran and has promised to bring “vibes, confidence, good energy and honesty”.

He said: “Toby is one of my best friends, we grew up together and were in the same class at school.”

Tyrique added: “I’m deaf in my right ear. I’ve got a tattoo next to my left one that symbolises strength and power in my good one.”

George Fensom, 24

Business Development Executive from Bedford

George here made a slightly leftfield choice when asked to name who he’d like to have with him in the villa.

He said: “I’m going to go with a little sweetheart called Megan Fox, if you’ve seen Transformers. The second would be Anne Hegerty from The Chase .

“I wouldn’t crack on with her but I’d have a laugh with her. I’d also like Nigella Lawson to cook something sexy.”

Mehdi Edno , 26

Communications manager from London and Bordeaux

Medhi Edno reckons he can impress the girls with his flair for languages (erm, have you ever seen the show?)

He insisted: “I’d simply start by speaking French, that usually gets girls interested.”

The hunk – who is being described by the show as a “French fancy” – added: “Looks are important but they aren’t everything.

“A good sense of humour and someone who is outgoing and up for an adventure is what I’m looking for.”

Mitchel Taylor, 26

Plumber from Sheffield

Hunky plumber Mitchel is one of the other stars revealed to be going into the villa this summer – being described as “this season’s Davide”.

He insisted: “I thrive on being a gentleman. I’ll shower you with flowers, I’ll take you on dates, I’ll fill your bedside drawer with your favourite sweets and chocolate.

“I’ve been single, I’ve had my fun and now I want to settle down.”

The lad is unbelievably ripped, with a source explaining: “When he’s not pumping water, he’s pumping iron.”

Andre Furtado, 21

Student and Instagram star

Hunky economics graduate and fashion designer Andre Furtado was one of the first names revealed – when he was described as “the perfect signing”.

And he lives up to the show’s title – saying love comes to him very easily.

Andre explained: “I would say I fall too quickly to be honest. When I look at beautiful ladies, before I’ve said hello to them I’ve already fallen in love. I’m already planning the wedding.”

It’s the summer of love – because ITV2 ‘s popular dating show Love Island is back.

Yep, we’re off to Mallorca for several weeks of villa antics – including couplings, dramatic recouplings, Casa Amor shockers and more – just a couple of months after the winter series in South Africa ended .

If you’re a fan of the show, you may have already spotted that the starting line-up for summer 2023 has been revealed .

But if you’re wondering how old the cast this year are, we’ve got you covered.

Let’s take a look…

How old are the Love Island 2023 cast members?

This year’s first 10 contestants range in age from early 20s to mid 20s – 21 to 26 to be precise.

The youngest cast members at age 21 are Molly Marsh , who is a musical theatre performer and social media content creator from Doncaster, and Dudley-based business owner André Furtado .

Molly lives on a farm with her family, and describes herself as ‘old fashioned’ as someone who steers clear of dating apps – while André says he’s ‘quick to fall in love’ and will ‘plant a field full of strawberries’ as a way to romance a future girlfriend.

On the older end are 26-year-old gas engineer and self-proclaimed ‘gentleman’ Mitchel Taylor , from Sheffield, and French-speaking communications manager Mehdi Edno , who lives between London and Bordeaux.

‘Big personality’ Jess Harding , an aesthetics practitioner from London, is just 22.

She adds she’s got a ‘heart of gold’ but that ‘every boy is giving me the ick at the moment’ – and is hoping to find Mr Right in the villa (and don’t forget: the public can vote for who couples up initially ).

Dublin-based Catherine Agbaje is also 22 – and promises she is ‘fun’, ‘flirty’ and ‘never boring’.

The glamorous real estate agent also told fans in her introductory interview:’ My teeth are real, people always think they are veneers!’

Also in the girls’ line up are Glasgow-based model Ella Thomas , who is 23 years old, and Ruchee Gurung , a 24-year-old beautician from Sutton, which is a town in South London.

The remaining boys are both 24. They are semi-professional footballer Tyrique Hyde , from Essex – and business development executive George Fensom , from Bedford.
