LIAM Reardon’s big sister Niamh has revealed the Love Island star has an army of 80-year-old fans cheering him on in Wales.
Niamh, 26, said her older clients are obsessed with him at the family hairdressing salon where she works in his hometown of Merthyr Tydfil.
She told The Mirror: “Every single client is asking us! All our elderly customers as well, the 80-year-olds coming in for their weekly blow dry, they’re all watching it.
“They are loving it, honestly, they are absolutely obsessed with the programme now and they can’t stop watching it. They always smirk and say, ‘Oh, did you see what happened last night?’
“A couple of clients asked me if I’m watching Love Island. They don’t even realise that I’m his sister.”
Liam lost the respect of many Love Island fans when he went behind Millie Court‘s back with Lillie Haynes in Casa Amor.
The 21-year-old kissed Lillie several times outside of a challenge and shared a bed with her.
Niamh defended her brother, however, insisting that he “handled it really well” considering he has only ever had one relationship.
She said he was “respectful” towards Millie, 24, in “taking things at her pace” in his bid to win her back.
Liam spent much of the week trying to regain Millie’s affections, declaring his feelings for her in front of their friends and leaving a poem on her bed for her.
His charm offensive paid off as the reconciled couple agreed to be exclusive.
During an intimate chat the day after the couple kissed in bed, Millie said: “I’m happy that we’re able to get back on track again.”
Millie went on: “Obviously we had a little kiss last night… I feel like the kisses before were because we just really fancied each other.
“We just had that sexual attraction for each other and then that [kiss last night] meant more to me than any other kiss that we had.”
Delighted, Liam said: “I asked you a few days ago, do you see a future with us, you said you don’t know. Do you see a future with us now?”
Smiling, Millie replied, “Yeah,” and Liam said: “That makes me happy. So, so happy.”
