FAYE Winter has taken a brutal swipe at this year’s Love Island contestants for not entering the competition for the right reasons.
The former ITV2 dating show contestant – who rose to fame last summer – referenced Islanders who “know what they’re going in for”, and it’s not to find the love of their life.
Faye threw shade at the intentions of the latest Islanders
She admitted she went into the show to find love with Teddy
Love Island fans watched on last year as Faye, 27, and Teddy Soares on-off relationship took them all the way to the final.
The star hit out that despite her wanting to go into the villa to find love, she felt it wasn’t always the case for this year’s Love Island stars.
She referenced how some Islanders already had management in place as they “know what they’re going in for” – hinting it could be fame.
Faye went on to detail how she always had her eye on finding love on the programme, finally finding it with Teddy, 26.
Speaking to FUBAR radio, she hit out at the current stars, saying: “Some people have already done in there with management.
“They’re already setting up deals. So, they already know what they’re going in there for.
“I went in there with 1000 followers, I took a sabbatical from work, I was like ‘I’m coming back.’ Then I was in there for eight weeks.”
Faye went on to say how grateful she was that she met boyfriend Teddy on the show – as they are still going strong a year later.
“I came out with exactly what I went in there for. And it’s weird because that’s what people always say to me ‘Oh my god, you and Teddy’,” she continued.
“I’m like when we went in there, we were from completely different sides of the UK, and we never would have met. So, we have to give everything and every thanks to Love Island.”
It comes after Faye revealed viewers don’t see everything on the show’s live final – as they don’t show the full episode in full.
Speaking on her instagram stories, Faye revealed that we don’t see the complete version of the finalist’s declaration speeches on the ITV2 show.
Faye, who is still with Teddy Soares after they got together on the show, was asked if she still has her and her boyfriend’s speeches framed.
Faye told her fans: “We actually do. Cute. Maybe a bit ick but we do still have them. They are very cute.”
She continued: “So weird isn’t it because you guys don’t actually get to see the full speeches. I always think that. I am always like there is more to that speech.”
Faye explained that perhaps the reason we don’t see all of the speech is because of how long they go on for.
WHAT THE QUACK
I got 0.5mm of lip filler but regret it so much, I look like a duck
The reality star added: “Well mine was really long anyway. I didn’t even know I was such a poet. Basically like a famous poet. I don’t know a famous poet, so…”
Faye will next be seen on Celebrity Masterchef, which airs later this month.
