It was crunch time this evening on Love Island as Alicia Douvall, Chris Brosnan and Colleen Shannon were selected for eviction.

Panic started to set in when the contestants were told that they would make the final decision who would be evicted. As the first part of the show wrapped, we could hear some of the contestants protesting that they wouldn’t nominate.

When the show came back on, the show producers had persuaded the group that they had to vote, but at the same time Alicia (sensing the axe falling?) walked off the set and refused to come back on!

Patrick Kielty asked the group to reveal their nominations. Although a few of them refused to nominate, those who did chose Alicia for the chop, so her instincts may have been right. Shane Lynch and Kelly Bryan decided not to nominate, and were told that all nominations were to be done this way. Lee “Bombhead” Otway chirped up that he didn’t want to and that the group were a team.

So, Alicia’s gone, and Love Island seems to be taking on the evilness of Big Brother and the nasty tasks of I’m A Celebrity - will this stir tensions within the group? I hope so!

Maybe this should be called Numbskull Island. Our intrepid islanders were given another task to identify famous faces…….and did just as badly as in the map task a few days ago!

Embarrassingly, the love-seeking celebs failed to recognize virtually all the photos given to them, from Tony Blair (Colleen: Is that our president?) to Abraham Lincoln (Lee: Is that Darwin?). Things got a little tense as Kelle Bryan stood up to Alicia Douvall for taking the task too seriously and ridiculing people for not knowing the answers. In the end, the competition was between Kelle and Victoria Hervey, with Kelle ultimately winning. She and her partner Brendan received chocolate ice-cream as a reward (presumably from show sponsors Bounty - clever!)

Alicia (or Jackie Stallone Junior as we call her about the house) was given the job of making dinner, managed to nick herself with a knife and proceeded to spend a wee while hamming it up for the cameras. Unconvincingly, I might add. Thank God she’s not an actress!

In other news, I’m feeling slightly sorry for Lee Otway, who is desperate to get his leg over (anyone), but has been rejected by Victoria Hervey. He just looks like a horny kid who stowed away on the boat. I read on the Love Island website that he’d have no problem ‘bonking’ on screen. Good luck Lee - just need a bonkee to do it with, eh?

Love Island bosses have this year placed a ban on celebrities taking sex toys into the Fiji resort.

It is rumoured that Alicia Douvall was reprimanded for trying to sneak one past security and Sophie Anderton was furious with the news that she would be left unfulfilled during her stay on the island.

Anderton told the News of the World: “I got lip balm into the jungle for I’m A Celebrity, so I will do my best this time round.”

Details of the celebrities salries for Love Island 2006 have been leaked to the press this week.

The highest paid star is Sopie Anderton who will be getting £70,000, closely followed by Lady Victoria Hervey who is being paid £50,000.

Strictly Come Dancing star Brendan Cole is set to earn £40,000, Bianca Gascoigne has been offered £30,000, while Hollyoaks star Lee Ottway and former Boyzone singer Shane Lynch are earning £26,000.

Less well-known stars such as models Alicia Douvall and Colleen Shannon, Pierce Brosnan’s son Chris and singer Leo Ihenacho have signed £20,000 contracts.

According to The People, the contestants will be taxed twice on their earnings - once in Fiji and again in Britain.

“They are very angry,” a source explained. “Someone earning £25,000 can expect to take home around £12,000 after tax.”

Love Island contestant Alicia Douvall is a high profile British glamour model/ page 3 girl.

Alicia has mostly gained her fame to date by releasing various ‘kiss and tell’ stories, revolving around real celebrities like Simon Cowell, Dennis Rodman and last years Love Island finalist Callum Best. Oh and also by getting them out for the lads!

The final list of celebrities(?) to take part in this years Love Island series have finally been released.

I can see why they took the word ‘celebrity’ out of the title this year. They should have named it..

“So someone in your family is famous, come and get a tropical shag”
