Love Island winner Liam Reardon is desperate to show fans he's a "nice guy" after being labelled a "love rat" following his split from Millie Court.
Welsh hunk Liam, 23, and blonde beauty Millie, 24, won the dating show in 2021 but went their separate ways in July. During their time on the show, Liam had his head turned in the famous Casa Amor, kissing Lillie Haynes and breaking Millie's heart.
However, he was later forgiven by his belle in the main villa before being crowned series seven winners by the public.
Now, speaking ahead of his Celebs Go Dating appearance, Liam has admitted he felt "manipulated" into the cheating scenes on the show and is hoping for another chance of love on screen.
He told the Sun : "I feel as though I was trying to be myself on Love Island. Maybe I got manipulated to be something else at certain times, like at Casa Amor.
"A lot of people still maybe hold a grudge for something I did, and they have this perception of me being a bad person, when I’m not, I don’t think. I feel like I’m a nice guy – I try to be a nice guy."
He went on to admit he made a mistake but insists he doesn't want the error to be the one thing that defines him.
Liam and Millie bought a house together shortly after their victory, but it has since gone on the market after their split.
At first, Millie looked set to say on in the cool £1million property in Essex, but has now decided against it as it is far "too big" for her to maintain.
Millie and Liam's former home together boasts four bedrooms, and will set the next resident back a whopping £3,600 per month.
The luxurious apartment, which is now on the market, is being advertised as unfurnished but comes with two handy parking spaces and incredible views of Epping forest.
After moving out of the home, Millie took to Instagram to tell her followers that she was looking forward to a new start as she shared a glimpse at her empty home.
