Love Island's Kem Cetinay and Rykard Jenkins have made amends after Rykard seemingly claimed he'd been punched in the face by "Kem and his boys" on Thursday night.

Rykard tweeted: "Me & @KemCetinay have spoke & cleared up the misunderstanding."

Kem confirmed the two had made up, tweeting: "Just got off the phone to @ItsRykard we are friends just like we was before, what happened is disgusting.. I was not involved myself".

He added: "But I will make sure it's dealt with as it's not acceptable and I won't let things like that happen and ruin both me and @ItsRykard night."

Rykard replied: Appreciate it mate. You're a good kid. Just be careful who you have around ya because you don't want them ruining things. Love".

Photos have now surfaced of the moment Rykard was attacked, which show him lying on a pavement outside the nightclub while a group of men appear to kick and stamp on him. Bouncers can be seen intervening.

Prior to the incident, Rykard was partying at the boohooMAN fashion launch, for which Kem has just landed a new role as brand ambassador.

The punching allegations surfaced last night after Rykard posted a selfie on Twitter showing blood across the bottom of his nose and a bust lip, with the caption: "This is @KemCetinay and his boys. #safe."

Earlier today, however, Kem released a statement denying his involvement: "I have just woken up and seen all this madness. I am literally so gutted that this situation took place outside the club.

“Firstly that someone got hurt but secondly that my name got dragged into something which I had absolutely nothing to do with myself… the launch was the biggest night of my career which I spent with Amber and my family undertaking press and interviews.

“The situation will be dealt with by the club and I hope all is resolved but it’s upsetting that this violence has been used on my night with my family around me.”
