Love Island’s Coco Lodge says she regrets cinch with Andrew and feels ‘used’

Love Island 's Coco Lodge has admitted she felt “used” after being intimate with Andrew Le Page on the ITV2 show, according to reports.

The 27-year-old Casa Amor bombshell has revealed she “regrets” letting Andrew kiss her breasts during their first night in the villa together.

And the graphic designer has reportedly told how she has sworn off dating after the show triggered past traumas.

“I do regret it because for me intimacy means a lot. It was only my first night, so it was bad I did that,” Coco, who’s real name is Chloe, told Mail Online.

Coco grew close to Andrew, 27, during the Casa Amor twist, despite being coupled up with Tasha, 23.

Andrew was seen passionately kissing Coco in the pool after being egged on by the other boys.

He then cosied up to her in bed and shared an intimate moment under the sheets where he famously told Coco he wanted to “ruin” her.

On his return to the villa, Andrew admitted what he’d been up to with Coco after trying to play down their sexual chemistry first.

He told Tasha: “I liked her tit or whatever,” in a ill-fated moment of confession.

But Coco is now filled with regret after the swift romance, telling the publication: “We were having a long conversation and I really fancied him. I should have waited until Tasha got back to see what his reaction was because he pied me off straight away, so I just felt used. After doing what we did, I didn't want to feel like that.

“He was sexually attracted to me and fancied me but when Tasha came back, he realised how much he liked her… out of sight, out of mind.”

Coco told how she had come out of a “toxic” relationship in January and spent time in Thailand getting over it and working on herself.

But since appearing on the reality show, Coco said she feels her “past trauma” has been brought to the surface again and she wants to take things very slowly from now on.

“I want to make friendships and see if it turns into anything more. I can't go through it anymore,” she heartbreakingly told the publication.

The brunette bombshell has reportedly accused Love Island producers of editing her badly and portraying her as a “villain”.

She claimed the show caused trolls to turn on her online and make awful comments about her appearance – with some branding her the “ugliest islander” in the show’s history.

The hate took its toll on her family who were “struggling” while managing her social media accounts.

Coco’s mum reportedly became so distressed reading the comments from home that she lost two-stone after being sick with worry over the trolling her daughter was subject to.

Dreading how she may react to the nasty comments once she left the villa, her dad even pleaded with telly bosses to be fairer, according to the report.

She told the publication: “They were so worried about how I would react when I got out the villa. In the past, people have taken these things really badly.

“Some of the comments were like ‘how did you even get on Love Island? You're the ugliest Islander the show has ever had.’ Some people were saying I'm a man. I understand getting attached to the other Islanders but the comments about my appearance have been rough.”

Coco said she is a “bubbly, fun, and emotional” person but that the show portrayed her as “sassy and a “villain”.

“My dad contacted Love Island and told them ‘you need to give her a chance because the way you've edited her is poor and I don't want my daughter coming out to this level of trolling’ but I didn't get that chance,” she explained.

“Anyone can say they were badly edited but watching it back I can see there was so much emotion I was feeling wasn't shown, which made me look disingenuous. I looked look a villain and a b****.”

Coco found solace in chatting to co-star Jacques O'Neill, 23, who left after an emotional reunion with Paige following Casa Amor.

After being open about the trolling she's suffered online, Coco told how she received a kind message from him having experiencing trolling himself. He reportedly gave her his number in case she wanted to chat.
