Real reason behind Love Island feud after girl misses reunion night out
LOVE Island’s Jess White skipped a cast reunion after she had a secret feud with one girl in the villa.
The Northern beauty delivered plenty of camera-worthy moments on the ITV2 reality series and coined the phrase “I’m the prize!” during a row with Harriet Blackmore.
Jess and Harriet caused chaos on the show when they battled for Ronnie Vint’s attention – dishing out snarky comments left and right.
On Saturday Jess steered clear of a Love Island reunion with Harriet, Nicole Samuels, Matilda Draper, Uma Jammeh.
But there was another girl the star had a frosty war with in the villa when she was being fiercely protective of her OG girl Mimii Ngulube.
A source told The Sun: “Jess Spencer was at the reunion and Jess White isn’t a fan of her at all.
“She actually made her cry by being horrible after Ayo Odukoya brought her back from Casa Amor.
“Viewers didn’t see it but Jess S was in floods of tears immediately after the recoupling.
“She felt the OG girls and in particular Jess White made it clear she wasn’t welcome, they were giving her dirty looks and refusing to speak to her.
“Digs were flying around and Jess S was being made to look like the villain.”
The source added: “But Love Island didn’t show this, and Jess S quickly won everyone over.
“Execs were already so spoilt for choice when coming to each day’s edit that this didn’t make it in. The drama was off the charts that night showing Mimii’s reaction to Ayo recoupling.”
Jess was repeatedly branded a “bully” by Love Island fans.
But the 25-year-old retail manager insisted she has been a pal to ALL of her fellow islanders.
Following her exit, Jess – who hails from Stockport – claimed she will be “friends for life” with her co-stars.
She said: “I’m a people’s person, that’s my job, so I knew I’d get on with everybody.
“This journey has taught me to never underestimate how important friendships are.”
Harriet was seen dancing with Jess S as the girls bonded after leaving the show.
It seems Jess S has forgiven Harriet for almost getting her dumped from Love Island.
Before the final a collection of ex Islanders returned to the villa to have their say on who should make it to the end, with a shot of the £50k prize.
Harriet and some of their co-stars picked Ayo over his failure to cleanly cut ties with former partner Mimii.
But Joey Essex and Jessy Potts were sent packing Joey clocking up a number of enemies throughout the course of the show.
Mimii went on to be crowned the winner alongside partner Josh Oyinsan.
Meanwhile, Jess White left Love Island with Hugo Godfrey but they decided to call it quits days later.
Speaking before Love Island, Jess admitted: “I think I’m single because I don’t underestimate the fact that I’m hard work.
“I know what I want and I’m not easily pleased. When you’re a loud, outgoing woman, sometimes it can intimidate men…”
