Love Island’s Ouzy See reveals new romance with stunning influencer after ‘cheating’ on ex Kady McDermott
LOVE Island star Ouzy See has revealed that he’s in a new romance with stunning influencer Sophie Lee.
The Scottish lad, 29, said he was smitten with his new love interest as they attended the Beauty Awards 2023 together on Monday night.
The pair said there were in the “early stages” of their blossoming new romance, but were quick to praise each other on their
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Ouzy said: “We’re in the early stages, I’m here supporting Sophie tonight as she’s been nominated.”
When asked if their romance was going strong, Ouzy beamed and said: “It’s going really well,” which prompted Sophie to compliment her man, saying: “He’s really kind, that’s my favourite thing about him.”
Ouzy gushed: “She’s inspirational,” and added: “We’ve been dating for a few months.”
When asked if they were in love, the pair giggled and said “we’ll see”.
They said they’ve enjoyed a string of dates and have been getting to know each other in social settings on nights out.
Sophie, who looked sensational in a black cut-out dress, celebrated winning Influencer of the Year at the Beauty Awards 2023 earlier this week.
Model and fire-eater Sophie was left seriously injured in 2018 when when an air conditioning unit blasted a fireball back at her, now 27, causing her face and chest to “go up in flames”.
What followed was five years of intense surgery, chemotherapy, and therapy for the mental trauma, as Sophie’s burns became keloid scars (benign tumours).
Sophie’s accident occurred on April 1, 2018 – “April Fool’s Day”, as she notes – while she was performing a fire-breathing act at a charity event in Chicago, aged just 22.
She was rushed to hospital and spent a month in intensive care in America by herself, while receiving treatment for the burns.
“I was so swollen,” she previously told The Sun. “My oesophagus was closed and it was hard for me to breathe because it was so swollen around my face, my neck and my chest.
“It was really hard for me to do anything.
“I couldn’t eat or drink or do any of those normal things. I had to go back to being a baby again.
“The doctors couldn’t even do much for me, because it was such a fresh injury and they needed to wait for the swelling to go down and everything to settle.”
Sophie shared her excitement after winning the prestigious award earlier this week and wrote on Instagram: “WOW! What a night! I’m honestly still in shock.
“Thank you to everyone who has supported my journey and I hope I can continue to help make a difference in the world.
“It’s been a long and crazy rollercoaster up to now and I feel very blessed that I was able to share such a special moment in my life last night with a room of incredible individuals!
“Congratulations to all the brands who won and thank you again for all the love and support shown to me I’m honestly so grateful!”
Meanwhile, Ouzy’s new romance comes just three months after his bitter split from ex Kady McDermott, with the footballer confirming that they no longer speak – saying ” that’s all over”.
The pair went parted ways after he spent two nights in a hotel room with a stunning brunette following their villa exit.
The Sun revealed at the time that Ouzy met up with a woman called Alicia shortly after landing back in the UK.
A source said: “
“He spent two nights with the stunning brunette who he has known for over a year – just hours after hanging out with Kady and putting on a showmance.
“He first met Alicia over a year ago and Ouzy got back in touch with her earlier this year and they met up in Marbella in May. He was constantly calling and messaging her right up until he went into the villa.
“They bumped into each other last weekend and he invited her to stay with him – claiming he was single and there was nothing happening with Kady.
“She stayed with him Saturday night and then they both went to the Bang LDN event on Sunday.
“They were together most of the night at Bang LDN and left in an uber together and went back to his hotel again. Lots of people saw them holding hands, he didn’t seem to care.
“He spent two nights in a row with her claiming he was single and even asked if they could see each other again the next time he came to London.”
