The woman at the centre of Kady McDermott’s split from Ouzy See has hit back at claims she “set him up”.
The Love Island stars called it quits earlier this month, after Kady found out Ouzy spent two nights at a hotel with a girl named Alicia shortly after being dumped from the villa.
In a statement at the time, Kady wrote on Instagram: “Sadly late last night Ouzy’s behaviour and actions from the 30th July were bought to my attention.”
“Ouzy is one of the loveliest people I have met and I know he is remorseful but unfortunately actions have consquences and although we are not ‘official’ in our relationship status I am definitely not prepared to start a relationship off on this foot.”
“I wish him nothing but happiness and success in his life. Thank you for the continued support by so many of you, I’d like to focus on the many positives and move on with my life now,” she added.
In his own statement, Ouzy wrote: “Just wanted to say what’s happened with me and Kady has NOTHING to do with her or any false rumours that have been flying about, it’s because of my actions that things have ended not Kady’s and I have apologized to her already.”
“She’s an amazing girl with an amazing family and doesn’t deserve any of the negative messages she has received this morning!”
In a new interview with MailOnline this week, Ouzy admitted he “ruined” things with Kady, and claimed he was “set up” by Alicia.
He said: “I just want to clear it up, I was in the wrong. I can understand why Kady was upset, the girl (Alicia) set me up, she came to the hotel and I had never done anything with her.”
“I was with Kady when she posted the statement of the split online and was with her when it all came out. We weren’t exclusive at the time and we hadn’t even had our first date.”
“Things were going in the right direction and going well but when we came out of the villa, things were so different. ”
The model continued: “Then that happened on July 30 and after me and Kady met up and I kind of ruined it. I knew the girl before, I knew of her. We’d met like three times as friends, but she messaged me when I was out and about in London.”
“There was no romantic connection though. This girl’s friends were all posting about it on Twitter and it was muggy and it looked bad on Kady’s side. But I never had a romantic connection with her. It is what it is and I’m happy now.”
He added: “It’s been mad. I have no privacy anymore, but I’ve enjoyed it and I have no regrets. I was set up a little bit and it’s not all true.”
“I will say it’s not Kady’s fault. She is an amazing girl and it was my fault, but I was set up. In the villa I had the best time ever but obviously they don’t show everything and it is very different on the outside, but I loved it.”
However, Alicia has since responded to Ouzy’s interview, urging him to “take responsibility” for his actions.
Taking to her Instagram Story, she wrote: “Imagine thinking you’re important enough to be set up 😂.”
“It’s always easier to find an excuse or shift the blame to someone else. Accept responsibility for your actions,” she added.
