Love Island star Kady McDermott ‘making shock return as bombshell this week’ seven years after original appearance
FORMER Love Island star Kady McDermott is going back into the villa for a dramatic return to the show.
It’s been seven years since former Love Island star Kady, 27, appeared on the hit dating show, where she met now ex-boyfriend Scott Thomas and finished in third place.
A source said: “Kady was a fantastic Islander in 2016. She made brilliant television and bosses are hoping she can recreate the same magic in the villa this summer.
“She’s also still looking for love so for Kady the hope is that she can finally find the man of her dreams.”
They continued to tell MailOnline: “Olivia and Alex and Nathan and Cara from her series are happy, in love, and even have families of their own. Kady, especially now she’s older and wiser when it comes to dating, is longing for the same fairytale ending.”
The Sun has contacted ITV for comment.
Kady isn’t the first former Islander to re-enter the show as a bombshell, with Adam Collard doing the same last year to the surprise of fans.
The brunette beauty has had a number of high-profile relationships.
She got together with Towie star Myles Barnett in 2018 but they split several times during their rocky romance, and confirmed that it was all over in 2021.
Despite their on/off relationship, they spent thousands renovating their home into a swish two storey house with six bedrooms.
Kady then enjoyed a brief romance with Aston Villa footballer Matty Cash but they also ended up going their separate ways.
She started dating the sports star over the summer but the couple struggled to make the relationship work long term.
A source said: “Kady and Matty had a really good couple of months but decided they weren’t right for each other.
“They are still mates and keep in touch, but there’s nothing romantic anymore. They had both just got out of long term romances when they got together so might not have been ready.”
The star’s first romance was with Scott Thomas, who she met on Love Island.
She dated Scott for a year after the show, but it wasn’t to last.
