Love Island star Liam Llewellyn admits he cheated on his ex but 'learnt from it'

A Love Island hunk is turning up the temperature and getting tongues wagging even before he struts into the luxury villa.

Liam Llewellyn will be hoping to turn the heads of women such as of Gemma Owen in the reality TV dating show. But whether they can trust him to be faithful may be another matter following his bombshell confession about his love life.

The 22-year-old from Cardiff has admitted his own head was turned during a three-year relationship – and he strayed.

Liam said: “There may have been a little bit of cheating. It was only the once and I regret it now. I was young but I’m ­different now, I’ve learnt from that. It wasn’t nice making someone feel that way. It has changed me, though, and I wouldn’t do that to somebody again.”

But that doesn’t mean Liam won’t be playing the field in the Majorcan villa.

He said: “Different girls are coming in and out. I can tell you for a fact there are going to be multiple girls in there I find attractive.

“Making that decision will be in the moment and whatever girl is best suited for me, and vice versa. It’s all decisions that I’m going to have to make on the show.”

Liam said he’s looking for a woman who is “brunette, petite, funny and outgoing” – and he also has not ruled out having sex on TV. He added: “It’s naturally how a relationship progresses on the outside world. We all know how it goes down.”

Meanwhile, fellow contestant Tasha Ghouri, who is deaf, hopes her past of standing up to online bullies will ­inspire other people.

Tasha, who wears a cochlear implant, was 14 when she and other school pals at Thirsk High School, North Yorks, were targeted. She was told thins like: “Go get cancer, you don’t belong here, you’re going to die, go hang yourself, you’re flat chested, your family’s ugly.”

Tasha, 23, helped launch a school anti-bullying campaign. She said: “If I share my experiences, I hope it inspires other people as well.”

Tasha said her implant helps her find good men to date, adding: “I date people who don’t judge me based solely on the fact that I have a cochlear implant.

“I won’t let their negativity affect me because I am a positive person and have a positive outlook.”
