Love Island’s Kady McDermott was dropped from Celebs Go Dating before landing big LA job

Kady McDermott has revealed she didn't make the final cut for the latest series of Celebs Go Dating.

The former Love Island contestant may seem like an ideal candidate for the E4 show, but the reality TV star, 26, has explained how she was dropped from the line-up, when TV bosses opted for another celebrity instead.

Kady is unbothered by the snub though, as the stunning star has landed a huge gig over in Los Angeles.

Ulrika Jonsson, Made in Chelsea's Miles Nazaire, TOWIE's Chloe Brockett, Ryan-Mark Parsons from The Apprentice, MAFS UK's Nikita Jasmine and Abz Love have all been looking for love, with the help of an exclusive dating agency, on the current series of Celebs Go Dating.

Speaking to The Sun, Kady explained how she had been approached by the bosses of the E4 series, but didn't quite make it all the way onto the show.

"Celebs Go Dating I was going to go on that, I think I got dropped for someone else," the star explained.

"Last year I was going to but I didn’t want to, the one that just went they emailed my management but it wasn’t the right timing and stuff."

The reality TV veteran - who came third on the 2016 series of Love Island - then revealed her exciting plans for the future across the pond.

"I’m going to LA in March for a show, It’s on E!" Kady excitedly revealed.

"It might be a new show, it’s still up in the air."

Kady also hinted that despite her career commitments, she's still open to dating and finding love.

During her time on the second series of Love Island, the TV beauty coupled up with fellow islander Scott Thomas - making it all the way to the final together.

The pair called it quits in 2017, just one year on from meeting on the ITV2 dating show.

Following the break up, Kady moved on with The Only Way Is Essex star Myles Barnett - splashing out on a mansion together - but the two stars split last year after three years together.

Throughout their romance, the former couple had been renovating a bungalow into a swanky two storey house, complete with six bedrooms, in Hertfordshire.

Earlier this week, Kady confirmed she had bought the Essex native out of the property, proudly exclaiming she was the sole owner of "McDermott Manor".

"I just bought my ex out of the house, I’m really happy about that," she told The Sun.

"I’m finishing renovating that, hopefully to do another project at the end of the year.

Since splitting from Miles, Kady enjoyed a brief romance with Aston Villa footballer Matty Cash, but is currently single and dating.
