Following his removal from the Love Island villa yesterday (Tuesday 11th June), Sherif Lanre has finally broken his silence on the matter!
Taking to his Instagram Story, the 20-year-old wrote, 'Thank you to everyone including my friends and family for the support I've come back to. I appreciate you al and hope I provided some good, positive moments during my time on Love Island and for anyone wondering I'm all good đź‘Š #ItIsWhatItIs'. [sic]
It comes after ITV released a statement confirming Sherif's removal from the villa. It read, “After breaking the villa rules Sherif had conversations with the producers and it was mutually agreed that he would leave the Love Island villa.”
Sherif also issued a statement and said, “In a case of poor judgement, I broke the villa rules and as a result agreed with the producers that it was best for me to leave the villa. I regret that I didn’t conduct myself in the right way and, as a 20 year old guy, it’s something I know I will take on board and learn from. I really enjoyed my time in the villa and look forward to catching up with everyone on the outside."
Check out all of the Love Island rules below:
Love Island rules - STACKED RADIO
1 of 7No getting drunk
According to 2017 contestant Kem Cetinay, contestants are allowed one small glass of wine or beer a night with dinner.Being drunk's an absolute no-no, so sex while intoxicated is obviously against the rules too.
2 of 7No masturbating
No solo sex acts are allowed in the villa, though obviously allowed to get jiggy with their partner.
3 of 7No nudity
Contestants cannot be naked in front of other islanders, since the villa is technically a public space.
4 of 7No books, phones or magazines
The islanders are given snazzy phones from their sponsor, Samsung (what else would they get their texts on?); but anyone sneaking their own mobile phone into the villa would risk being removed.Same goes for books and magazines, too.
5 of 7No inappropriate language or behaviour
This could cover homophobic, racist or aggressive language and is quite the broad rule. Inappropriate behaviour is again at producers' discretion, and would include violence and sexual harassment.
6 of 7No discriminating against staff
Any Islanders who are rude to crew could run the risk of being booted off the show, and contestants must NOT take their mic packs off unless instructed to.
7 of 7Follow the rule book
Simple. Contestants must obey the rule book they're provided with; which includes information on safe sex, consent and how to know if you're following the guidelines.
Love Island continues tonight on ITV2.
