Love Island winner Amber Gill has spoken out about not wanting to “judge” the new Islanders after admitting she told a few porky pies in her VT.

Taking to her Instagram stories, Amber revealed that she’d stretched the truth in her introductory video in order to appear “more interesting” and win over viewers early on.

“As far as my opinions go on the Islanders, it is hard to say because I don't want to form an opinion yet because I was saying all sorts of madness in my VT,” she said.

"So I wouldn't want anyone to judge me for that – even though that is what it's there for.

WATCH: Love Island's Tommy and Curtis on falling for Molly-Mae and Maura in the villa | My First Times

"I'm sure I said I have never been rejected... or something like that which was [a] full-on lie but I wanted to sound interesting."

We trusted you, Amber.

The line-up for the first ever winter series was announced earlier this week and it looks like it might be one of the most eclectic groups of singletons yet,with Lewis Capaldi’s ex, Rochelle Humes’ sister and a landowner and heir to a Cornish estate all entering the villa to find love.

In case you’ve forgotten, Amber won the 2019 summer series alongside Irish rugby player Greg O’Shea after a tumultuous time in the villa, with top snake Michael Griffiths stringing her along for most of the series.

But Greg and Amber’s relationship wasn’t built to last, and he reportedly dumped her by text just six weeks after leaving the villa, citing the long distance aspect as the reason.

But Amber had the last laugh after all, as just days later she was named the first millionaire of the season thanks to her lucrative deals with Miss Pap and Littlewoods.
