Dumped Love Island star says DMs are flooded with celebs after leaving villa in brutal twist

Dumped Love Island star Blu Cheginihas revealed that his DM’s are ‘popping’ since leaving the famous ITV2 villa, and there’s even a few famous names in there.

Talking with Mirrorat the TRIC Awards in central London, 26-year-old Blu admitted, "It’s been a bit mad since I left the villa, the DMs have been busy though, they’re popping." He added, "There’s been a few famous ones, but I better not say who."

Despite being in the original line-up of islanders at the beginning of this series,Blu was dumped from the island earlier this month in a brutal recoupling which left him single. Before his departure, he was getting to know girls Alima and Shakira, who remain in the villa.

Since returning home, Blu's Instagram has reached 22K followers - including the likes of former Love Island winners Jess Harding and Gabby Allen and Married At First Sight star Hannah Norburn. He has also signed to Neon Managment, the same PR company who manages stars such as Joey Essex and Lucinda Stratford.

While there may be plenty of single girls hoping to catch London-based Blu's eye back in the UK, the reality star still has eyes for Mallorca.

Admitting the premature departure was disappointing, Blu said he'd like another crack at the famous villa: “Get me back in there, I’d definitely go back and show my personality more, I didn't get to do that.

"I did show it in the villa but it wasn't aired in the episodes, so I'd like people to get to know me and see what I'm really about. I want ITV to fly me out for Casa Amor.”

Describing his type as Poppy Harrison, who was only on the show for two days as she attempted to turn Remell's head at the Sleepover villa, Blu says the bombshell is exactly who he was waiting to enter the villa for himself.

However, if the Construction Project Manager doesn’t make it back to Mallorca before the end of the series, he’s hoping for one of his fellow OG islanders to win the series. “I want Tommy to win, I’m not sure who he'll be partnered with, but I’d like him to win.”
