Love Island's Kady McDermott has finally revealed whether or not she had a "secret boyfriend" during her time on the show.
Rumours have been swirling that Kady was secretly dating Liam Greer after a source revealed to
The Sun that the two enjoyed a "farewell dinner" the night before she returned to the show for a second time.
Kady ended up coupling up with Casa Amor star Ouzy and since being dumped from the show, the two appeared on a number of podcasts together but were criticised for their comments about other islanders.
One person who took offence to the comments was Kady's fellow islander Mitchel Taylor, who told
On Demand Entertainment: "You’re calling me and Ella B fake – you came in with a boyfriend. You have a boyfriend to this day. I’ve been told by the other girls, I’m not going to name names cause I’ll just take all of this, but you had your boyfriend’s bracelet on.
“Your boyfriend was in your house whilst you were there, and you’re calling me fake? I got called fake by Kady, when Kady was doing the most.”
Kady has now issued a statement to address the backlash she has faced, and shut down rumours of a secret boyfriend.
She wrote: “Although I have raised this before I feel I need to address this one more time, before I can finally put this to bed. I have always been clear that my views are my opinions of MY time in the villa, how I saw relationships, read situations and contestants behaviour.
“During interviews since leaving the villa I have answered questions asked to me. Please remember interviews can be edited just like a TV show to draw in viewers with click bait snippets of much longer conversations.
“I have apologised to those that have been upset to hear my opinions as this was never my intention, but since I have felt deliberately targeted by some of my fellow islanders. I have also been getting death threats since my podcasts which is not ok.”
She continued: “The narrative that is circulating that I had a boyfriend whilst in the
Love Island villa is categorically FALSE. My mum stayed at mine whilst I was in the villa to look after my dog and house.
“The media have been relentless with this narrative and it now appears others want to jump on the bandwagon too. Speaking opinions is one thing but making such bold statements with confidence is wrong. Not only are they false they can be very damaging.”
Kady also revealed she and Ouzy had gone their separate ways in the post.
She added: “Sadly late last night Ouzy’s behaviour and actions from the 30th July were bought to my attention.
“Ouzy is one of the loveliest people I have met and I know he is remorseful but unfortunately actions have consquences and although we are not ‘official’ in our relationship status I am definitely not prepared to start a relationship off on this foot.
“I wish him nothing but happiness and success in his life. Thank you for the continued support by so many of you, I’d like to focus on the many positives and move on with my life now
