We know that Love Island producers can only fit so much into an hour-long episode, but it seems that we’re missing out on some serious TV gold. It feels like every dumped Islander has spilled the tea on at least one unaired scene since they returned to the outside world and the latest dumpees are no exception.
Casa Amor bombshells Cynthia Otseh-Taiwo and Layla Al-Momani joined us for the latest episode of heat Dates following that brutal recoupling and they revealed that Casa Amor was even more eventful than the absolute carnage we saw on our screens. Blimey.
Although it seemed Cynthia was all in for Casey O’Gorman after spending four days snogging and straddling him, she’s admitted that she also spent a lot of time getting to know another boy – none other than Shaq Muhammad.
Speaking about her chats with Shaq to our Harriet Rose, Cynthia explained, “We had loads of conversations. We got on like a house on fire, literally like we’d known each other for years.
“There was one scene you guys didn’t see, it was brilliant. I was having a conversation with Shaq on the sundeck and it was a really good conversation, it went on for ages.
“We were talking, talking, talking. It was a great conversation and I had Casey, just by himself, I feel like this should have been shown, he was just sitting on the sunbeds watching us. So he was watching that whole interaction and I remember going in for a hug with Shaq and obviously he’s tall and I’m tiny so when I go to hug him I’m faced towards Casey and his head instantly looked away. So, it was probably safe to say that he was a bit jealous.”
Erm, Love Island producers, we’d like a word. Why didn’t we get to see this, please? Not even on Move Night. Just imagine Claudia Fogarty’s reaction if that was shown…
Cynthia wasn't the only one whose chats with Shaq were left unaired, as Layla revealed she'd been chatting to him, too.
She said, “I remember me and Shaq went to chat and Will was like, ‘Oh, are you taking my wife?’”
How scandalous.
