It was a surprise result! If I had put money on the result (and I’m glad I didn’t) I would have picked Kelle Bryan as the winning female on this years Love Island.

Any fool could have guessed that Callum Best would win, he is handsome and chivalrous. Callum Best could melt the heart of even the frostiest female! He certainly melted mine when he dirty danced with Kelle.

But Bianca Gascoigne? She is a nice girl and I think the result will do wonders for her self confidence, but I just didn’t expect her to win.

Brendan Cole looked gutted with the result, he was easily the most competitive man on the island, and the one person who really really wanted to win. Not only did he not win, but he didn’t even get a girl!

Better luck next year Brendy!

It was as if the boys had been granted all their wishes at once!

They won the daily decider and were treated to an afternoon booze and beautiful ladies upon a luxury yacht. However on the way back to the resort, in a top class limousine, Brendan Cole and Lee Otway kicked off into yet another fiery argument.

Fuelled by alchohol the pair began to square upto one another and all at once fists began to fly.

Tune into the show at 10pm to see how it all started, and more importantly…..who won!

On his return from the love shack today, Brendan Cole was bewildered when his fellow celebrities were less than enthusiastic to see him back.

Brendan wandered into the Beach Hut musing:

“Last time I came back I felt a sense that I was missed, and people were happy to have me back but I didn’t feel that today at all,�

“Lee pretty much ignored me actually when we came back into the Resort I almost had to ask him to shake his hand.

“Today I just didn’t feel very welcome from anybody really. Oh well.

“Maybe I’m just upsetting everybody. I don’t know man, I don’t know…�

Eventually Kelle Bryan was the one to break the bad news to Brendan and fill him in on thw whole Ask Kate fiasco.

The dancing queen responded by thanking Kelle and then running away.

“I don’t think it put you in a particularly good light,� Kelle informed him. “You came across as nasty. I really didn’t like it.�

“Thanks for telling me sweetheart. I’m sorry I let you down,� Brendan stated, before running off into the bushes.

“I want to see producers,� he bawled. “I’m having a moment!�

Kelle pursued Brendan and found him blubbing by the side of a bridge.

“I’ve been f**ked over completely,� he cried.

“I came here to be a different guy and I’ve done it. I’m not a c**t.�

“You’re not and you are everything you say you are,� Kelle wept.

“You’ve got to walk back in and say ‘I know I was a c-*-*-t, I was and I said this and this and I’m sorry.’�

But no sooner had Kelle turned away than Brendan made another break for it, closely followed by some beefy securit guards.

How things change in a week.

Only a few days ago Chris Brosnan was getting it on with Sophie Anderton and Brendan Cole was falling hard for newcomer twin Eve. Now the boys are gearing up to win the hand of the pretty playboy model Colleen Shannon.

Colleen has flirted with all the boys. During the first week it looked as though her and Shane may have something going on, but when that proved fruitless Colleen almost got it on with Chris Brosnan. Then suddenly she was paired with Lee Ottway and there was that whole drama….

Now one partner swop and a pair of hotpants later, and Chris and Brendan are following the blonde beauty around like lovesick teenagers. I wonder who she’ll chose?

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, Brendan Cole, is a dancer from New Zealand who specialises in Latin American dancing.

He has appeared on BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing, and has also judged two seasons of New Zealand’s own Dancing with the Stars.

Brendan is perhaps most famous for his alledged affair with news reader and dance partner Natasha Kaplinsky, causing both celebrities to split up with their partners at the time.

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”

The list is as follows, click on the name for more details on the star.

Lady Victoria Hervey
Sophie Anderton

This years series of Celebrity Love Island is already being planned and is due to go head to head with Channel 4’s Big Brother later this year.

The rumour mill is starting to grind, and the first piece of gossip to emerge is that Brendan Cole of Strictly Come Dancing has been signed for the summer show.

A source told The Sunday Mirror that

“Brendan is shameless when it comes to pursuing women - he’s perfect for the show,”

“What would be better for him than to spend seven weeks with a team of beauties in one of the world’s most beautiful settings. It’s Brendan’s idea of heaven.”

Better still the word is that he will be paid £80,00 to do so!
