I was on Love Island and producers always told me to act up and cause drama, but I was just there for the holiday
LOVE Island star Belle Hassan has admitted that she only entered the show for a “free holiday” in front of a shocked Maya Jama.
The 2019 star appeared on Love Island chat show Aftersun to discuss this week’s drama – particularly the fallout from Casa Amor.
Appearing on Aftersun on Sunday night alongside fellow ex-islander Joe Garratt, Belle admitted that she only signed up to the show for the chance to top up her tan in the Mallorca mansion.
When prompted by host Maya Jama to chat about what it was like going from Casa Amor into the main villa, she said: “100% honest? I was there for a free holiday.
“I used to say it to the producers all the time and they were like ‘Belle we are filming, you’ve got to do something’ and I was like ‘listen, I’m just here for the tan’.”
“A tan and a little lips [kissing]?” Maya joked.
“Yes, absolutely!” Belle responded. “But I didn’t personally go in with a game plan, I think if you do it’s transparent, viewers will see it, and you will get caught out.”
Belle entered the series as a Casa bombshell in the fifth series, eventually earning her place in the main villa after coupling up with Anton Danyluk.
They managed to stick it out until the final dumping before the finale, essentially coming in fifth place.
Anton and Belle remained together for a month after leaving the villa before splitting up, with Belle getting annoyed at Anton “disrespecting their relationship”.
Love Island: Aftersun airs Sundays at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
