In a video to fans, the former accounts manager admitted that he was hoping to “save” current slander Catherine Agbaje.

But Deji has revealed he was snubbed by show bosses.

In a TikTok video, the star filmed himself pretending to march around his apartment while arguing on the phone with someone.

Wearing a muscle vest and tracksuit bottoms, he paces around frantically while wagging his finger at ‘the person’ on the other end.

The clip finishes with Deji pretending to throw his phone on his bathroom floor before storming off.

Deji captioned the video: “ITV: ‘We’re not sending you in to ‘save Catherine’.”

Fans are gutted to see Deji’s confession, as they think he’d make a great match for Catherine, who so far is yet to close off a romance.

One told him: “Dejiiiiii you would’ve been PERFECT.”

Another asked: “Deji, why are you not on your way rn?”

A third said: “You best take her for a date when she’s out. Holding you accountable!”

And someone else chimed in: “Yeasss save her!”

Deji found fame in the 2022 series of Love Island.

He made his entrance during Casa Amor and originally made a play for Indiya Polack.

When that didn’t work, he turned his attention to Lacey Edwards and they hit it off.

However, the couple were dumped after being branded ‘the least compatible’ and split shortly after leaving the show amid cheating rumours.

It was alleged that Deji had slept with fellow islander Coco Lodge behind Lacey’s back.

A source exclusively told The Sun that Deji and Lacey never went on a date on the outside, with his night with Coco being the “last straw” for her.

The source said: “Everyone could tell it was awkward between them at the Reunion after Lacey delivered some home truths. Now they’ve called it quits and are no longer seeing each other.”

Catherine, meanwhile, has only just found a potential love interest in All Stars despite arriving in the villa at the beginning of January.

The public originally paired her up with Nas Majeed but they soon called it quits, with Catherine accusing him of ‘not putting in the effort’.

Catherine later made a play for bombshell Montel McKenzie, but he chose to couple up with Kaz Crossley.

In the past few days, however, her luck has changed following the arrival of newest bombshell Omar Nyame.

Despite fancying Grace Jackson during his first stint in the villa last year, he made a beeline for Catherine and chose to couple up with her.

Meanwhile, a gap has opened up in the Love Island All Stars villa after another islander QUIT this year’s series.

Hot on the heels of Scott Thomas, who walked out on the weekend, The Sun has exclusively revealed Ron Hall has also left.

Ron was coupled up with bombshell Danielle Sellers but decided to walk after “growing tired” of forcing connections.

A source told The Sun: “Ron was the centre of attention on his series, with multiple girls vying for his attention and with Lana always there for him to return to.

“It was a bit of a rude awakening for him this time round as he just couldn’t find a single spark.”
