Our Love Island Whatsapp group is DEAD – you’re forced to be friends with people in the villa, says Sharon Gaffka
LOVE Island star Sharon Gaffka has revealed a show divide and admitted the cast’s forced friendships have finally come to an end.
The reality show alumni, 26, said she doesn’t speak to many of her former housemates, which includes winners finalists Millie Court and Liam Reardon.

Sharon told The Sun: “There is a WhatsApp group with like everyone in there pretty much. I think it’s quite dead. But it’s not in a malicious way.
“I think because you are forced to be friends with people in the villa right?”
Sharon, a former civil servant, appeared close to Hugo Hammond in the ITV2 show, and has since been spotted on nights out with co-stars Faye Winter and Aaron Simpson.
And whilst she refused to name her least favourite Islanders, she admitted they weren’t the closest group despite spending up to two months living together.

Sharon continued: “They’re the only people you have around you.
“Obviously you’re friends with them but sometimes when you go into the real world as an adult you’re never going to be friends with everyone.
“Like another personality clashes, your life won’t mix well with people, so for me personally, I don’t have any malicious, like, ‘not friends’ with anyone.
“There’s no bad blood. I mean, not from my heart anyway.”

It comes as Faye Winter claimed there was a feud among stars who refused to speak to her after the show.
The show finalist – who apologised after she was filmed screaming at partner Teddy Soares in the 2021 series – admitted she was shocked by the snub when she came out of the villa.
Faye, 26, told Vicky Pattison on her The Secret To podcast earlier this year: “A lot of the ex islanders, they had a lot of opinions on me, some ex islanders.
“And I don’t know them, and I don’t take people’s opinions when I don’t know them to heart at all.
“But it was the one opinion, that I thought, ‘you know what goes on’, and I thought, like hang on!
“I am a little bit, like, I’ve come out and there were obviously a few that didn’t want to talk to me. And i was like, ‘oh don’t you?’
“Well don’t f*****g talk to me, unless you want to say sorry!”
