Love Island's Luke Mabbott has turned heads in the villa, with his Justin Bieber like looks and boyish charm.

And he's certainly seems to have potentially found the one with his fellow Islander Jess Gale, with the pair even sharing a kiss days after meeting.

But he has now been branded a "lying rat" by his "ex" Chloe Ephraim, who says he invited her to his house to stay just days before entering the South African villa.

Speaking to The Sun, Chloe said, “I’ve felt so sick ever since I found out. I was speaking to him four days before he appeared on the show.

“We were planning for me to go down and visit him for a whole weekend.

"He started pursuing me again just after Christmas and he must have known that he was going on the show then."

She went on to say, "He didn’t say anything. He just led me on and I was planning to go stay with him for the whole weekend.

“I had to hear that he’d gone on the show from my friend who I had been telling the night before how much I was looking forward to seeing him. I feel like an idiot.”

Chloe, now 24, met Luke when she was 18 on a holiday in Turkey after she thought he was Justin Bieber and approached him.

Since then, the pair have kept in touch, with Chloe even suggesting they have swapped "explicit messages."

She confessed, “I didn’t think he was a player and that’s why I liked him.

"But it makes sense as he used to send me intimate photos which already had captions on that he must have sent to other girls.

“I never said anything because I wanted to believe the best of him. My friend also found him on Tinder during a night out in Newcastle but I tried to brush it off."

“We’ve been sending flirty text messages for five years and obviously I thought something was going to happen with us as he kept coming back to me.

“He’d stop talking to me when he got another girlfriend but would always restart with me and I put up with it.”

A Love Island spokeswoman said, "Luke was single when he entered the villa."
