Casa Amor boy SLAMS ‘strategic’ Love Island star who’s faking friendship to get to the final
CASA Amor boy Blade Siddiqi has hit out at a ‘strategic’ Love Island star, claiming he is faking a friendship in the villa.
Blade, who briefly romanced Grace Jackson on the show before being dumped from the main villa, believes Sean Stone’s alignment with Joey Essex may not be that genuine.
Chatting to Bobby Norris and Elle Coughlan on their Access All Areas show on FUBAR Radio, Blade had some choice words for the Candy Man – as well as his pal, Joey.
Quizzed by Bobby, who was still wearing bandages following his recent surgeries, Blade was asked who was being tactical in the villa.
And Blade pulled no punches.
He began: “It’s not Joey’s first rodeo is it? So, I feel he does know how to cause a stir and how to ignite a few different conversations that might rub people a certain way.
On that same note, Sean has become very outspoken since Casa Amor and he had said near the beginning of the series ‘I’m not being myself; I want to speak out more, but I haven’t really done that’. So, you could almost say that Sean’s saying a few strategic things here and there.”
Former Butler in the Buff Blade then saved another strike for Sean, who he accused of befriending Joey due to his public profile and big personality.
Blade added: “Joey is of course a very strong character so strategically for Sean it probably seems like it’s in his favour to become close with Joey and stick by his side.
“Joey and Sean have definitely ruffled a few feathers maybe strategically.”
Asked who he would like to see win, and Blade believes there is only one couple who should get the prize – although he predicts there could be an upset.
“I mean Joey’s already got a big following. Ciaran [Davies] and Nicole [Samuel], everyone can see they’re madly in love with each other, ” Blade reasoned.
“That being said, a lot of people are probably expecting Ciaran and Nicole to win at this point so they may even vote for let’s say the couple who are next in line to perhaps win like Sean and Matilda [Draper].
“But for me I think Ciaran and Nicole would make the most sense. They’ve just been solid throughout.”
Of course, also in the running currently are Jess and Ayo, Joey and Jessy and Mimii and Josh.
The results will be revealed on Monday, July 29, when Maya Jama crowns the winner.
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
