Love Island star Yewande Biala refused to eat food from RTE canteen during DWTS shoot

Love Island star Yewande Biala showed her hangry side when she turned up at a Dancing With The Stars photoshoot.

A source said the scientist turned reality TV turned her nose up at the grub provided at the RTE canteen.

They added: “It was a bit of a diva moment. Everyone was trying to get along as they were all in the same boat but Yewande did not mix.

“When she was not filming she sat on her own with her headphones in and was constantly on her phone.

“When you are on big productions like this the catering is always the same. It is not Michelin star dining but it is enough to get you through the day filming.

“Yewande was having none of it and said she could not eat what was being provided. Then when a chef appeared to see if they could come up with something the answer was still no.

“In the end someone was sent to McDonald’s for her.

“I’m sure she isn’t the first person to refuse to eat from the RTE canteen but it seemed a bit rude.

“It left a bad taste in the mouth of the other cast members who were all just dong their best to make everything go quickly.”

This is the second time in a number of days the 23-year-old Dubliner’s behaviour left a bitter taste with the DWTS team.

Last week she slammed a make-up artist on Twitter, while working on an unnamed project we now know to be Dancing With The Stars.

She tweeted: “Not even 10am but... I’m sick and tired of people mispronouncing my name.”

When contacted RTE declined to be drawn on the issue insisting they had no comment to make.

The Irish Mirror contacted Yewande’s UK agent for a comment but no response was received.

The celebs taking part in this year’s DWTS are Mary Kennedy, Aidan Fogarty, Brian Dowling, Michael Carruth, Yewande Biala, Fr Ray Kelly, Grainne Gallanagh, Sinead O’Carroll, Lottie Ryan, Ryan Andrews and Glenda Gilson.
