Scots Love Island star Biggs Chris has revealed he once had a date with new Love Island bombshell Samie Elishi - and couldn’t lie about it to his girlfriend.
Biggs, 30, who is now loved up with girlfriend of a year and a half Sumerica Hawkins, admitted he didn’t realise Samie was going into the show until he watched it.
And he confessed it proved to be an awkward moment for himself and Sumerica.
Glasgow born Biggs, who was a contender in the 2020 show, and has moved into property developing, said: “Sumerica and I were watching Love Island together when Samie first arrived at the villa. I saw her hair, then her face and thought: ‘Hang on. I know you’.
Sumerica saw my face drop and asked: ‘Is there something you want to tell me?
"I tried to lie but it didn’t work. She can read me like a book.”
Biggs, who made the admission whilst dining in Glasgow's Damasqino restaurant, said he met London born Samie when he was newly single following his split from former Love Island partner Rebecca Gormley two years ago.
He continued: “Samie and I had a fling after a boozy night in London. We were at an after party with loads of people and ended up having a bit of a fun night. She has no fear and goes for what she wants. She’s a really nice girl and I think she’ll spice up the villa.
"Lucky for me, Sumerica is playful and is very cool about my past flings. In fact she’s now teasing me that maybe one of her own exes will crop up on the show.”
Love Island airs tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX
