Love Islands George Fensom slams exs cheat claims as fans demand hes axed

Love Island star tackles body shaming

The official countdown for the new series of Love Island is in full swing as the next batch of singletons prepares to enter the Spanish villa.
One of which includes 24-year-old business executive George Fensom, who’s hoping to walk away from the ITV dating show with ‘the one’.
However, George’s ex-girlfriend has branded him as “controlling”, “a narcissist” and “a cheat” in a TikTok video.
Along with her scathing attack in the video, past tweets from 2014 have resurfaced which show him using a string of homophobic slurs.
Speaking to Express.co.uk, George spoke about his ex’s claims insisting he wants to be “respectful”.

He commented: “I feel like in this scenario I just want to be as respectful as I can towards her because I appreciate that she isn’t in the public eye as I am in this scenario.

“It’s really really unfortunate and actually quite upsetting on my behalf that a picture has been painted about me in that light.

“I’m looking forward to going into the villa to prove that actually the things that have been written about me aren’t true and people can see a different light to me.”

Touching on the derogative tweets that have resurfaced, the 24-year-old revealed they don’t reflect the person he is today.

He said: “Looking back on those tweets, I was really naive and really young to think that that was the right thing to say.

“It’s obviously not the right thing to say on my behalf and it’s one of those situations that doesn’t show the man that I am today at all, in any way shape or form.

“To be frank I can’t remember off the top of my head when it was, 14,15. Even so, we’re talking near enough 10 years ago.

“So much learning gets done everyday around these subject areas and we are still as humans continuing to learn now of what is right and what is wrong.”

Despite his response, many Love Island fans don’t want George to enter the villa when the new series starts.

Touching on calls for him to be axed, George highlighted that everybody has made mistakes in the past.

He added: “Everyone has said things that they regret. The difference in the way I defend myself is the way that I’m owning that.

“I’m admitting that that was the wrong thing to say, if I could turn back time then I wouldn’t have said the things that I’ve said. That’s all I can defend myself and say.”

Love Island starts on Monday June 5 on ITV2 at 9pm
