I was on Love Island and cried for a solid hour to show psychologists – I shouldn’t have been in there

A LOVE Island star has revealed he broke down and cried to the show’s psychologists, admitting he shouldn’t have been there.

Matthew MacNabb has opened up about his time the on the reality juggernaut.

The strategic marketing consultant, from Belfast, has revealed he felt like an ‘imposter’ during his stint on the seventh series.

He joined the show late, entering during the programme’s controversial Casa Amor week as a bombshell.

Talking candidly about entering the villa, the 28-year-old said: “I shouldn’t have been there in a way.

“It was like trying to take over being someone else’s boyfriend.”

He continued to SpinGenie: “What I found most difficult was knowing my position in life, even two years on I still have the difficulties of imposter syndrome.”

As Matthew shot to stardom on the ITV show he had tragically just lost one of his best pals.

“My life has been crazy the past few months. From one of my best friends passing away two weeks before Love Island, to entering the villa and experiencing all that came with it,” he explained at the time.

He added: “I haven’t told anyone this, but I met with the psychologist when I was in the villa and cried for a solid hour.

“She helped me so much and made me realise that this life is an adventure and with any adventure, there are ups and there are downs.”

While Matthew initially hit it off with Kaz Kamwi during his time on the show, he was dumped from the villa just a week after his arrival.

Since Love Island he’s gone on to star on Dancing with the Stars Ireland and found love with his professional dancer partner Laura Nolan.
