Love Island 2023 star Mitchel Taylor has claimed Kady McDermott DOES have a “secret boyfriend”.
The 27-year-old first appeared on the dating show back in 2016, and she made a surprise return to the show as a bombshell during the 2023 summer series.
The UK Sun previously reported that Kady was secretly dating Liam Greer, and that the pair even enjoyed a “farewell dinner” the night before she flew over to Mallorca.
A source told the outlet: “Kady and Liam went for a posh dinner in Mayfair together the night before she left for Love Island, like a romantic goodbye.”
Kady, who was dumped from the villa alongside Scottish Casa Amor star Ouzy See, has not yet responded to the rumours.
However, her co-star Mitchel has now addressed the speculation in an interview with On Demand Entertainment.
He said of Kady: “You’re calling me and Ella B fake – you came in with a boyfriend. You have a boyfriend to this day. I’ve been told by the other girls, I’m not going to name names cause I’ll just take all of this, but you had your boyfriend’s bracelet on.”
“Your boyfriend was in your house whilst you were there, and you’re calling me fake? I got called fake by Kady, when Kady was doing the most.”
“All I’m doing right now is retaliating. I wasn’t going to go out and say anything about anyone,” he continued.
Addressing Kady’s recent podcast appearances, Mitch said: “Ouzy’s my boy, and he’s sat in these podcasts and I know for a fact he doesn’t want to be there.”
Referencing comments Kady made about Zachariah Noble during Sunday night’s Love Island reunion, he went on to say: “You say to Zach ’15 minutes of fame’, bro you had to come back on another season because you was becoming irrelevant. So don’t come at Zach because you sound like a donut.”
“You’re putting an act on to get your ’15 minutes of fame’. I wasn’t going to start doing these podcasts and going mad at Kady until Kady started going mad about me and everyone else, and that’s when I thought right I’m going to respond… Ouzy deserves better.”
Mitch also shut down Kady’s claims that he was a “Love Island superfan” before he entered the villa, and that he “studied” previous seasons.
Kady and Liam, 30, enjoyed a romantic getaway at a 5-star hotel in London last Valentine’s Day, and jetted off to the Maldives together the following month.
The pair were also spotted in Ibiza together last September.
According to The UK Sun, Liam is currently facing jail for money laundering more than £350,000 – and he is set to be sentenced on Friday.
A source told the publication: “Kady has remained tight-lipped over her mystery man Liam after previous high-profile relationships and splits.”
“She should have been aware of the police investigation as detectives went looking for him at her house. It could be why their relationship has been shrouded in secrecy – but that hasn’t stopped them going from strength to strength.”
Goss.ie has contacted Kady’s rep for comment.
