We have to say that Love Island’s Martin Akinola got on a rough ride in the villa.
After being brought back to the main villa by Tanya Manhenga when she got the ‘ick’ from Shaq Muhammad, Tanya later decided that Shaq was actually the man she wanted to be with and left Martin in the lurch.
Most of his time on-screen was focused on the love triangle, so we barely got to see what else he got up to in the villa before he was sent packing. Luckily for us, Martin’s been spilling the tea since coming home and we’ve been lapping it all up.
Martin appeared on the latest episode of Closer’s Love Island Secrets and he exposed the secret villa friendships that haven’t been shown on TV.
Not only did Martin reveal he’d spent a lot of time with Kai Fagan, but he admitted that he’d also grown close to Will Young.
Martin explained, “Yeah, me and Kai. They never showed it but me and Kai were really, really close. That’s weird, yeah.
“But I think they showed the rest of the friendships like Will, Tom and Casey. They were more shown.
“Also, me and Will. We’re actually really close but they never showed that either.”
Why were these scenes left on the cutting room floor, Love Island producers? We demand to see them IMMEDIATELY.
Speaking of friendships, Martin also revealed whether he’d like to be friends with Tanya and Shaq on the outside world and his answer was SAVAGE.
“Tanya, definitely no. But Shaq, if he wants to be, I don’t mind. I’m open,” he replied when asked if he could salvage a friendship with his former flame and love rival.
