Love Island star messed around by ITV who promised shed be first bombshell

Love Island star Lacey Edwards revealed she was "messed around" by ITV producers.

The 2022 bombshell has exclusively told us how she would never have gone on the show if bosses told her the truth from the start.

Lacey, 25, entered the villa in the final fortnight with the last set of bombshells but was originally told she would be the first.

She came on the show with Jamie Allen, Reece Ford, and Nathalia Campos.

During an exclusive Facebook Live chat with the Daily Star, Lacey said: "When the show approached me, I was living in France and working as a showgirl and I quit my whole life to be a bombshell on the show.

"I was meant to go in as the first bombshell then it went later and my flight kept getting delayed.

"For me, it was four or five days of 'we're just going to delay it a few more days'.

"Then in the holding villa, I was so bored of sunbathing and that's a big thing for me to say because I love tanning. But I was so bored by the end because you can't leave the villa.

"We played UNO and card games so many times and I read five books by the end of it.

"It was 19 days isolating in total, which is the limit, but it's really rare that happens.

She added: "It was upsetting because I would have rather have been told 'we're thinking you're going to come on as the last bombshell' just so I could have made the decision if it was going to be worth it.

"But no, I wouldn't have done it.

"However, I am a big believer that everything happens for a reason.

"Personally, when I came out I didn't have loads of fame but it was a nice amount.

"I don't know if I would've been able to cope with the amount of fame the others have. You can think you want something and then you can have a little taste and realise it's not for you."

The professional dancer explained: "If they told me I was going in the last week I maybe would've applied for Too Hot to Handle."
