Love Island's Coco 'pulled out of Married at First Sight to head into Casa Amor'

Love Island's Casa Amor bombshell Coco Lodge has caused a stir since landing in the villa last week.

The 27-year-old brunette made a beeline for Andrew Le Page, swaying him form his love interest Tasha Ghouri.

And the fruits of her and the other Casa girls' labour caused model Tasha, 23, to be furious when she was confronted by Andrew, 27, during a heated recoupling.

But, it isn't only amongst Islanders that Coco has ruffled feathers as it's been reported she angered TV bosses after pulling out of another dating show at the last minute.

It has been claimed that Coco was due to start filming for Channel 4's Married At First Sight, but she made a last-minute U-turn for the villa instead.

A source has told The Sun: "Coco was all set for the next series of MAFS.

"She'd shot about a week's worth of content – costing upwards of £5,000 – and bosses were looking forward to seeing her on the show.

"They were furious when Coco told them she was quitting to go on Love Island."

Mirror have contacted Channel 4 for comment. A spokesperson for MAFS declined to comment.

Coco entered the villa last week as one of the six female bombshells heading into the villa as the girls went to Casa Amor.

She joined the bombshells in urging Andrew to "be open" as Mollie Salmon told him: "I think a few things have been said."

She locked lips with Davide Sanclimenti and moments later was taken up to the terrace by Andrew.

Graphic designer Coco and Andrew then shared a steamy kiss and the pair continued to grow close while Tasha was away.

In a dramatic recouping Andrew was visibly angry at Tasha as he chose to couple up with Coco. Following the heated moment, Tasha went to confront Andrew and furiously slammed the Casa Amor girls.

She shouted: "The Casa girls can f**k off!' as she defended herself at the accusations she had been "fake" and telling "more lies and Pinnochio".

The pair soon hugged it out as Tasha spoke to the real estate agent.

It appears Coco and her Casa Amor pal's plan may have backfired as Andrew is set to end his romance with Coco on Friday night's episode.

In scenes set to air, Andrew makes a shock U-turn comes to the realisation he doesn't see a future with Coco and decides to slow things down.

Pulling the bombshell graphic designer for a chat, he says: "I’m gonna be completely honest with you and how I’m feeling as well. Just at the moment with Tasha being on my mind I feel like I don’t wanna lie to you and I don’t wanna say something to you if I don’t mean it yet. So for me, I do wanna continue getting to know you of course…"

Coco interrupts: "But you just wanna do it really slowly?"

Andrew agrees: "Just take a step back until my mind has cleared or whatever happens, happens."
