Inside Kady McDermott’s explosive Love Island row with co-star as she returns to show as new bombshell
LOVE Island star Kady McDermott’s explosive row with co-star Malia Arkian is one of the most shocking moments in the history of the reality show.
As the 27-year-old is set to return to Love Island as a bombshell, producers will no doubt expect some fireworks from the pocket rocket but hopefully not another full-on fight.
It’s been seven years since the former Kady appeared on the hit dating show, where she met now ex-boyfriend Scott Thomas and finished in third place.
The argument, which ended with Malia being removed from the villa, was only briefly aired and cut away before things became physical between the pair.
However, in 2019 Kady shared a video showing exactly what went down and revealed she had been punched in the face and left with a bleeding nose.
The row between the women began when Kady accidentally spilled her drink over Malia, causing tensions to erupt.
The newcomer, who had only arrived at the villa that day, leapt from her seat and questioned whether it had been done on purpose as she had been on a date with Scott, who Kady was coupled up with.
It was reported at the time that she had been shoved in an “altercation” and Love Island bosses responded by removing Malia from the show.
During the show, they aired the argument with the two screaming at each other but did not air any physical fighting.
Kady later claimed Malia punched her during the fracas and blood was drawn.
She tweeted: “She punched me in the nose after and gave me a nose bleed but they didn’t show it as too graphic”
In the footage she shared, Malia screams at Kady and calls her a “f***ing b***h”.
Kady then stands up and shouts: “I swear to God, if you want to get rowdy…that’s a f***ing joke. Do you honestly think I’d waste my wine over you? It was a f***ing accident.”
Malia appears to lunge towards Kady, but security intervene and she is quickly removed from the villa.
Kady’s reps later confirmed that the make-up artist contacted police after the pair got into a second row on Twitter after they left the villa.
After sharing the footage it appeared as if the feud erupted again when Kady wrote “Who?” after a fan asked about Malia on Instagram.
Malia then tweeted her, writing: “Oi u dumb little b***h do not sit there & try cuss me out on your instastory you low life.
“You don’t know me & I hope u never bump into me again, u already snaked me once.
“U desperate little beg, ur neighbour even emailed me coz they hate you, giving me your address.”
Kady replied: “Sh your noise hun the footies (sic) on”.
