Sherif Lanre has denied masturbating in the Love Island a he reveals the real reason he was booted out.
Sherif, 20, was booted out of the villa with immediate effect after having a playfight with Molly-Mae, 19, which ended with him accidentally kicking her in a 'sensitive area'.
Many theories surrounding Sherif's departure have been floating around on social media since the news broke.
The chef wanted to speak out to put an end to some of the "absolutely ludicrous" rumours about his exit.
He has hit back at claims he was kicked out for taking drugs, a fight with Anton Danyluk or an incident in the jacuzzi.
Sherif told The Sun : “I can put my hand on my heart and swear that I never masturbated in the villa, not even once.
“I had a nasty cold for the first few days so I spent a lot of time alone in bed, but only because I was feeling so awful.
“I’ve never taken cocaine so to say I was kicked out over that is ridiculous. And I did not have a fight with Anton, I always got along with him.”
Sherif confessed he kicked Molly-Mae in the groin area and intiially feared she may have been harmed.
A source told The Mirror: “Sherif and Molly-Mae were messing around on one of the beds but he kicked her in a sensitive area.
"Then all hell broke loose. Sherif was on thin ice as he’d been warned about his behaviour before, but this was the final straw and it was agreed it would be best all round for him to go.
“He was summoned to the Beach Hut and given his marching orders. Rumours have been going crazy about why he left – but nobody expected this to be the reason.”
Sherif also revealed that he was dragged out of bed by show bosses before being hauled down to the Beach hut.
He apologised for his actions and agreed to leave the villa without packing his bags or speaking to his fellow Islanders.
A spokesman for the show said before the launch that there is "a strict briefing for all islanders regarding acceptable behaviour before they go in".
Earlier today, the Love Island hunk Hunky posted a naked photo from his Love Island lockdown after being sacked from the show.
In the saucy picture the chef, who was coupled up with phramacist Anna before he got the boot from the ITV 2 show, appears to be naked and has his arms behind his back.
In the caption for the snap, which was hastily deleted, he said: "Just waiting. Lockdown . It is what it is."
