Love Island's Jake says former islanders have slid into his DMs since Liberty dumped him

Love Island star Jake Cornish has revealed that several former contestants from the hit reality TV show have been sliding into his DMs on social media.

Speaking on Capital Breakfast on Wednesday morning, the newly-single star made the revelation while being interviewed alongside ex-girlfriend Liberty Poole.

The former couple, who quit the villa just days before Monday night's final, were chatting to presenters Rob Howard and Lauren Layfield who are currently standing in for regular hosts Roman Kemp, Sian Welby and Sonny Jay.

Throughout the catch up, the marketing student from Birmingham revealed she would "100%" like to do a TV show with bestie Kaz Kamwi and ex Jake discussed the rumours he's set to join the Dreamboys.

As host Lauren asked the 24-year-old star about speculation he is going to star in the male strip show, the water engineer told fans they'd "have to wait and see" what happens.

"Yeah I’ve heard this," he told the presenter when quizzed about the rumours.

"I’ve had a couple of DMs from them, but I haven’t signed anything yet so you’ll have to wait and see."

"I was just born to be an entertainer, you know? Entertainment is my thing so… [laughs]," he continued when asked whether it would be his thing.

Rob joins the conversation, adding: "I thought you were going to say ‘I was just born to take my clothes off’!

"I mean I’ve worked hard for what I’ve got so why not show it off!" Jake replied while laughing.

The Love Island star then went on to reveal that he's had some famous faces fill appear in his inbox since leaving the Spanish villa.

"Have you had any former Love Islanders slide into your DMs?" Rob asked the tattooed hunk.

"Yes I have," Jake confessed on air.

When pushed to reveal the identity of the senders, he added: "No, I can’t add no names, no."

Elsewhere in the early-morning interview, Liberty admitted she was "overwhelmed" by the support and messages she has received since returning to the outside world.

"I’ve been overwhelmed by the messages and support from everyone," the popular islander said on Wednesday.

"I’ve had so many young girls popping up to me saying ‘you’re my role model, you’ve taught me self love’. It’s been amazing."

The Nando's waitress also reacted to the reports she's set to become the highest paid former Love Island contestant of all time.

The 21-year-old told the radio stars that it was "a nice feeling to know that you’ve just been yourself the whole way through" and that it was incredible to come out to a positive reception.

Liberty and Jake coupled up together on the first day of this year's series of Love Island, and at one point, were favourites to win the show and the £50,000 cash prize.

However, the pair walked away from the villa on Friday following their dramatic split earlier in the week.
