ITV Love Island fans spot issue with Indiyah's Instagram which forces her to make change

Love Island finalist Indiyah Polack has returned to the UK with Dami Hope - but fans spotted a problem with her Instagram account.

Indiyah and Dami came in third place after Monday night's final o f the ITV2 dating show. The 2022 series saw actress Ekin-Su Culculoglu and business owner Davide Sanclimenti crowned winners.

Michael Owen's daughter Gemma and fishmonger Luca Bish finished in second place, while dancer and model Tasha Ghouri and real estate agent Andrew Le Page finished were in fourth place. After hotel waitress Indiyah, 23, from London, and microbiologist Dami, 26, from Dublin, arrived at Stansted Airport, Indiyah wrote "Finally" with a love heart on her social media, sharing a snap of herself and Dami holding hands.

But she also explained she had changed her Instagram handle. She switched it from @1ndiyah to @indiyahhp after followers had struggled to find her because she had a number at the start of her name, reports Manchester Evening News.

"Apparently I was shadow banned because of my old handle this is my new @ guys," she explained on her Instagram Stories. And on Twitter she told fans: "Hi guys! Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for all the support and love you’ve all been amazing - it’s been a great journey but it doesn’t stop here!! I’ve also changed my Instagram handle so it should be easier for you guys to find me! @indiyahhp."
