She appeared on the last season of the show.

Love Island star Samie Elishi has revealed that she and another islander had a “very intense” argument that never made it to our screens.

The 23 year old opened up about the incident on her YouTube channel, explaining that she and Martin Akinola had a serious row during dinner time.

Samie came third on the winter series of the ITV dating show with footballer Tom Clare, who she has just split up with as of today.

Samie said: “We had an off-screen argument and it couldn’t air because it was at dinner time.

“Me and Martin had an argument off camera and it was quite petty. But everything in there was very intense and heightened and he was complaining about the food. The food was amazing.”

Samie admitted that she thought Martin was “quite rude” to the producer when it came to the food each night, and this particular agreement lasted for a few days.

She continued: “I’m very much someone who is like ‘be grateful’. You’ve got this amazing experience, you’re here, we’re getting fed for free, we’re getting looked after by these people who don’t even know us, taking care of us like we were their children.

“I was very frustrated at that point. I was like, ‘just be grateful, why are you moaning? Why are you talking to the villa producer like that?’

“In my opinion, he was being quite rude to our villa producer who I absolutely loved and who was looking after us in Casa Amor. So we had a bit of a bicker and it went on for a couple of days.

“But obviously in the end you all makeup and we just agree to disagree. But me and Martin are never going to see eye to eye. We’re very different people, we’re cut from different cloth. That’s it, that’s what didn’t get aired.”

They sparked split rumours after they were spotted at different parties.

The beauty and fashion guru was caught living it up at the Pretty Little Thing launch but Tom was nowhere to be seen.

Instead, Tom was home in Barnsley having dinner with his family and close friends.

A source told The Sun: “Samie and Tom have sadly decided to call it a day. There is a lot of love and respect there but it just wasn’t going anywhere.

“The distance between them was too much and they are both really focused on their careers post Love Island.”
