OHMYGOSSIP — Deji Adeniyi and Reece Ford have been dumped from ‘Love Island.’
The 25-year-old had entered the hit ITV2 reality dating show as a bombshell alongside model Reece but the pair were forced to leave the Mallorca villa on Sunday night’s (24.07.22) episode along with girlfriends Lacey Edwards and Nathalia Compos, having received the lowest number of votes from the public.
Speaking after their exit, Deji said: “I stand by what I did. I don’t want to change anything. I was true to myself, which is why I went for Indiyah and why we got along as much as we did. If anything was fake she would have picked up on it and I would defo have not been myself. I wouldn’t change a thing.”
Meanwhile, Swindon-born Lacey, 25, – who works as a professional dancer – arrived in the villa as a bombshell on Wednesday (20.07.22) and admitted she is just “grateful” for the experience and is excited to see how things progress with Deji following their exits from the show.
She said: “I am just honestly really grateful that I got to be a part of the show. I’ve made really good friends and I am excited to see what happens with me and Deji!”
Meanwhile, Nathalia explained that the couples already competing in the villa had such a “strong connection” that she was unlikely to be able to change any of that and predicted that David and Ekin-Su will ultimately be crowned winners of the show.
She said: “‘At the time that I walked in I thought there could be something for me but after being there I saw that the couples in there had a strong connection having been together for a long time so I don’t think more time would change that. Davide and Ekin-Su have a very good chemistry, they get along very well, and they are also very entertaining so I think they have a very big chance of winning the show.”
‘Love Island’ airs at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub. Episodes are available the following morning on BritBox. The dating reality show can be seen in Ireland on Virgin Media Two and Virgin Media Player.
