Insta Creep: What Are This Year’s Dumped Love Island Contestants Flogging On Instagram?
What all the celebs are up to on social, from A to Z listers.
In our gossip column, we indulge our nosiest desires and delve deep into what the celebs (and ‘celebs’) are doing on social media. Who’s tweeting and deleting? Who’s shady faving? Let’s find out.
We’ve got a little Love Island mystery on our hands. Recently dumped Islander Joanna Chimonides was met at the airport by none other than 2017 contestant Jack Fowler, and the pair looked very happy to see each other.
Joanna was forced to abandon her fledgling romance with Michael, who was picked by the other Islanders to stay in the villa (and didn’t seem that pushed to leave with her).
But if these photos snapped by fans in the airport are anything to go by, she may find some comfort in Jack:

According to Metro, Jack is Joanna’s personal trainer. What? Doesn’t your personal trainer go out to the airport to greet you when you come back from your holidays? And don’t you meet them with a full body, legs-wrapped-around-them hug? No?
It’s possible that they are romantically involved and Joanna went on Love Island for a bit of promo, or it’s possible that they’re NOT romantically involved and Jack met her at the airport for a bit of promo. Which we are giving to him. Cos we’re mugs.
Khloe Kardashian has responded to a tweet alleging that she ‘hates’ baby daddy Tristan Thompson (and as a result, hates that True looks like him).
Baby True is turning into quite the little lady. We can’t get over how big she looks in this photo Khloe posted the other day:
But her followers remarked that she’s looking more and more like her dad every day – her dad that cheated on her mom and left her heartbroken.
However, Khloe doesn’t want anyone thinking that she hates Tristan for what he did, and laid it all out in an Instagram comment:
Why would I ever hate anyone who helped create such an angel? People make mistakes but I won’t hurt my own healing by holding on to hate. I’m too busy raising my beautiful baby and securing that bag to hate any individual. Sweet True has always looked like her daddy. She’s beautiful!
That she is.
And now it’s time for… #SponConCorner
*Spon con = sponsored content. Who’s flogging what, and why?!
Now we play our annual game – what have this year’s dumped Love Island contestants started plugging?
Callum MacLeod

First out, Callum got straight to selling car perfumes (?) and ‘skinny’ coffee. Not ideal but we sense he’s aware his window of opportunity is quite small. Get it while you can, Cal.
Sherif Lanre

Being unceremoniously booted from the Island for accidentally kicking someone in the crotch does not stop you from cashing the hell in. Sherif is also advertising car perfume, as well as ‘skinny’ syrups and sauces. We’re sensing a theme.
Joe Garratt

After having to leave Lucie behind in the villa, Joe is doing weird competitions for cash and gift vouchers, complete with badly Photoshopped posts. You hate to see it.
Yewande Biala
Yewande has been taking it easy on the old #sponcon, however she did do the same gift voucher competition as Joe. Come on girl, secure the bag. Get a Pretty Little Thing sponsorship!
Arabella Chi
Arabella is ALSO doing cash and gift voucher giveaways (seriously, what is the budget for this promotion) but is also shilling jewellery, hair extensions, and The Sims. Yes, as in the video game. Just can’t imagine her playing it, TBH.
Lucie Donlan
https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz-zP5tpBK0/
Lucie’s not had much of a chance to get the brand deals sorted, however she did do a spon-but-not-spon post about a hotel. Surely there is a brand of sea salt spray that wants to lay claim to those locks?
Elma Pazar
https://www.instagram.com/p/BzYkA00h0Jv/
Are you ready? Elma has posted about car perfume, a hotel, a juice cleanse, meal replacement shakes, a cash giveaway, hair products, two restaurants, a face mask, a watch, and a rose gold water bottle. Elma is going IN.
Danny Williams and Jourdan Riane

Danny and Jourdan are just off the Island and already nabbed by that cursed gift card giveaway company, so fair play to them. We’ll give them time to rack up some more dealz. We know they have it in them.
