Love Island star’s SHOCK EXIT as they leave the villa ahead of upcoming series after citing ‘personal reasons’

BBG News

Love Island star Kyle Ashman has left the show ahead of the launch episode next Monday. 

As a committed admirer, I wanted to share that I, myself, have chosen not to step into the villa on ITV’s popular show, due to some personal matters requiring my immediate attention. I appreciate your understanding and support during this time.

This news emerges following The Sun’s articles suggesting that Kyle had been part of a machete incident in February, where masked assailants invaded a wake and viciously slashed a father with a knife.

Kyle was among two individuals apprehended by the police, yet he was freed without any additional charges being filed against him. Subsequently, he has verified that he had no part in the event, but has opted to depart from the ITV show nevertheless.

As Kyle, I want to assure TopMob that I willingly collaborated with the police during their investigation, and I unequivocally stated my absence from any connection to this occurrence.

‘I am not a violent person and any suggestion otherwise is a mischaracterisation.’

In another development, ITV stated, “Due to personal matters, Kyle won’t be joining the Love Island Villa as initially scheduled.

On Tuesday, the cast for Love Island was revealed, which means Kyle’s exit will likely cause turmoil as the series premieres on Monday.

It has been disclosed that the Sun informed superiors about Kyle being interrogated regarding an assault, yet ITV stated they were oblivious to the occurrence and he wasn’t flagged in the background checks conducted on contestants.

On February 28, the 38-year-old victim almost lost his arm due to severe injuries sustained in the incident. He was immediately taken to the hospital for urgent care, where he had to keep his injured arm for approximately two weeks.

During a 15-minute incident at The White Eagle Club in Stafford, it’s said that another mourner was assaulted with glass, someone else was struck with a metal rod, and two individuals were accidentally hit by a car.

Sources said the victim was attacked by three balaclava-clad thugs over an alleged £3,000 debt. 

He sustained an injury from a sharp object, causing a severe cut and damaging his tendons, leaving him currently unable to operate a vehicle.

It was confirmed by the police yesterday that both Kyle and another person, following an investigation, were let go without any additional actions taken, just last month.

According to a source, ITV wasn’t aware of Kyle’s previous background since no charges had been filed against him, which didn’t trigger any concerns during the thorough background checks conducted for Love Island.

It’s fair that he should be able to go back to the UK now, where he can present his perspective. Consequently, they made the choice to keep him out of the villa as it seemed most suitable.

On Monday, Staffordshire Police reported that a 22-year-old local resident of Stafford was taken into custody for suspected assault and disturbance of the peace. Additionally, another 22-year-old man from Stafford was detained under suspicion of creating a disturbance of the peace.

‘Both were questioned in custody and bailed with conditions while our enquiries continue.’

Kyle, the water worker, maintains a minimal social media footprint, with only a single Instagram picture on his account.

Before announcing his departure, Kyle mentioned that he was searching for someone who is lively, self-assured, and authentic.

Kyle revealed that his killer tactic for impressing the ladies is showering them with compliments.
