Love Island star India Reynolds speaks out on rumours she cheated on new boyfriend Ovie Soko

Love Island star India Reynolds has insisted that she never cheated on new boyfriend Ovie Soko - and says she just likes to get along with everyone.

The 28-year-old model has also revealed that she cried over the abuse she received last week after former fans accused her of having an affair with footballer Kieran Gibbs.

Late last week, the Love Island runner revealed that online trolls sent her death threats after an Instagram account reported she had been unfaithful to basketball player Ovie.

The pair appeared on the ITV show together and finished in third place.

Ovie was incredibly popular in the villa and protective fans were furious when it was alleged India kissed her ex boyfriend, footballer Kieran Gibbs at his birthday party.

But she has again denied the rumours - and revealed how painful it was for her when former fans started pouring abuse on her.

“I cried [last] week when all the stories came out,” India, from Reading, told the Sunday Independent.

But while online bullies have portrayed her in a very negative light, the 28-year-old models says she hopes everyone sees her as a nice person.

She said: “Hopefully, everyone sees me in a good light… as, like, fun, nice, kind!

“I like to laugh. I’m kind. I am the sort of person who will come into a room and just talk to everyone. Give everyone a hug! I like to make everyone feel comfortable.”

The model - who vehemently denies any cheating rumours - says that when she and Ovie get the chance to take a break from their hectic schedules, they just like to relax at home together.

“At the moment we just stay home and get a take-away and watch TV or watch a film, because everything is a bit mad,” she told the Sunday Independent.

“So, as soon as we have five minutes to breathe we want to chill.”

India - who will be travelling to Dublin for the first time on Thursday for a boohoo.com launch - described last week as “tough”, but insisted that it hasn’t caused a wedge between herself and Ovie.

She said: “It hasn’t been the funnest week, but I think as long as you know where you stand with each other, that’s the most important thing.”

India, a boohoo ambassador, will be travelling to Dublin on Thursday with Love Island co-star Maura Higgins, as well as Anna Vakili and Tommy Fury.

She says she loves spending time with Maura, also a boohoo ambassador, especially now that they are out of the villa.

“We actually get on together really well. It is so nice getting to see her outside the [Love Island] house,” India said.
