We might be in the midst of a brand new series of Love Island (one of the best EVER, if you ask us) but that doesn’t mean that we’ve completely forgotten about the drama between last year’s cast, especially after those rumours about a massive feud dividing the 2021 Islanders.
It seems there’s now even more bad blood between them after Sharon Gaffka revealed that she’s ended her friendship with Hugo Hammond after they fell out due to his “inappropriate” behaviour.
Love Island viewers will remember Sharon’s explosive row with Hugo in the villa after his comments about ‘fake’ girls and although they were able to put their differences in the past and become close pals, it seems their friendship is well and truly over.
Speaking on the Saving Grace podcast, Sharon explained, “I was [close friends with Hugo] and then I cut him off really abruptly.
“One of the Islanders had a birthday and we all went out to a really gross sports bar so I was like, ‘I’m not taking my friends there’. They had just come all the way from Manchester. We’ll go to this club that someone I’m friends with invited us to. It was quite nice, we didn’t have to queue, we didn’t have to pay to get in and we didn’t have to pay for any drinks. Winner winner chicken dinner.
“And then Hugo texted me. I had no signal because the club was underground and then when I got to hotel I had been texting him and he called me a basic bitch for going to this club.”
She continued, “Then I FaceTimed him because he seemed quite drunk and he made jokes about me getting spiked. His friend messaged me like, ‘You’ve upset Hugo’ and I was like, ‘F--k off!’ What are you, like five? Why is your mate messaging me?
“I haven’t spoken to him since. He’s tried to message me and I don’t think he knows what I’ve done. I hung up and then he messaged me again and I told him to f--k off. My friend was there and I was in the Hilton lobby going mental calling him all sorts. I was like, ‘You’re a nasty piece of work!”
The former beauty queen also hinted there was more to the situation as she added, “There’s other stuff going on like inappropriate touching, which he also probably doesn’t remember. This is what I mean, nice guys aren’t nice.”
heat has contacted Hugo’s representatives for comment.

Love Island 2021's first Instagram posts slider
1 of 16Chloe Burrows
Chloe may have caught all the boys' attentions as evidenced in a recent explosive episode, but you can see she's always been a stunner from this uni halls pic taken way back in 2015.
2 of 16Faye Winter
Faye has certainly nailed this classic Instapose in this snap from 2019 - the hair, tan and Adidas bodysuit are all on point and a sign of things to come.
3 of 16Brad McClellan
A quick glance over Brad's insta and it's clear he uses it primarily to document his fitness journey. This snap from 2017 is from before it all began.
4 of 16Kaz Kamwi
Kaz was already a fashion blogger before she entered the Love Island villa, and so her first photo is appropriately professional looking (boo).
5 of 16Jake Cornish
Finally, a properly old photo! You can tell that Jake was already going to the gym when this photo was taken with a mate back in 2013.

PS. Enjoy this bonus pic of baby Jake with none other than footballer Wayne Rooney.
7 of 16Hugo Hammond
When he was a teenager, Hugo played Cricket for England's Physical Disability team.

PS. Baby Hugo for your viewing pleasure x
9 of 16Aaron Francis
Like Kaz, Aaron was already trying his hand as an influencer before he signed up to Love Island and so most of his photos are pretty glossy, but scroll down far enough and we found this photo of him seemingly winning an arm wrestle against Somoan Rugby Union player Many Tuilangi.
10 of 16Toby Aromolaran
Toby's not giving anything away with this sultry selfie from 2018, other than perhaps that he's heading off on his holidays, judging by his passport and boarding pass. He doesn't look that excited about it though, does he?
11 of 16Sharon Gaffka
In case you missed it, Sharon used to compete in beauty pageants and was Miss UK 2018. Here she is from the Galaxy pageant that same year.
12 of 16Liberty Poole
It looks like Liberty has always been a big fan of the finer things in life - as well as a blonde hair extension or two - judging from this snap with a pal from 2019.
13 of 16Liam Reardon
Viewers couldn't believe that Liam was only 21 when he entered the villa, but here's proof that Liam looked 30 way back in 2018 (regular teenaged boy for reference).
14 of 16Rachel Finni
This photo of Rach taken on a night out was posted in 2017 but captioned, "2 Years Ago ud83dude2b#CanILookLikeThisAgainPlease", so we can assume it's from way back in 2015.
15 of 16Millie Court
Proving she's always been a fan of posing up a storm in a bikini, we're majorly jeal of Millie's 2018 holiday to Cannes. Ahh, holidays - remember those?
16 of 16Lucinda Strafford
Right, we can't actually believe this 2018 photo of bombshell Lucinda - have Love Island checked her I.D.? Is she old enough to be on the show?
