Love Island’s Leanne breaks silence on Whitney feud as she fumes at co-star for ‘spewing lies’

LOVE Island’s Leanne Amaning has broken her silence on her feud with Whitney Adebayo.

The pair fell out after they both appeared on this year’s series of the ITV2 dating show’s spin-off All Stars.

Some “snakey” behaviour in the villa led the two to fall out and the drama continued when the pair returned to the UK after the programme.

Leanne, who shot to fame on series six of the show, lifted the lid on if they were pals in a recent get ready with me video on her YouTube channel.

She read out a question from a fan which asked: “Will you ever speak about any of the fall outs post show? Whitney said that you and her are friends again. Is this true?”

Leanne said: “Honestly, I have no plans to whatsoever. I probably would take it to the grave with me.

“I feel like, I personally don’t feel a need to comment on something that to me is so clearly from a place of spite, bitterness.

“Clearly a continuous attempt to try and humiliate me. I feel like a lot of things speak for themselves. A lot of things are very obvious.

“When there is a pattern of continuous fall outs and whatever, it’s just clear what the issue is.

“I know myself, I know my truth, I know what is true. Other people’s perception of me and how other people view me, it’s just not my business.

“It’s actually above me. I just try to keep positive, even through the negativity, I just don’t want to give out low vibrational vibes or negative energy.

“I just don’t want to do that. I just don’t want to reciprocate that energy.

“I don’t want the negativity to make me someone that I am not.

“I do think though, quite a lot of things have been said since the villa, mind you it is November, we are still going, at what point does it class as harassment?

“I probably would have responded if I thought anything productive would have come out of it.

“To me, it’s very clear a productive conversation isn’t going to come out of people spewing lies from a place of bitterness or misery, with the clear intention to humiliate me, embarrass me, humble me.

“That is not going to be a productive conversation.

“So I don’t even give it the time of day.

“Me and Whitney are not friends. We’re fine in the sense of if we were in the same room I can co-exist, we’re not fine in the sense of I would go up and say hello.”

She then went on to explain how they did cross paths at a brand trip – and were able to “co-exist” together.

Leanne continued: “I had a flash forward moment, I’m picturing 2032, we’re still going on about the same thing.

“I would honestly just describe it as cordial, the only reason I would say cordial, if that, is because we were on a brand trip together.

“As much as I did try to avoid, you know what brand trips are like, we do a lot of things together, you know brand trips are quite intimate.

“The first day I did successfully manage to avoid.

“The second day I was confronted. We did speak, we did have a bit of a back and fourth which was not ideal. I am a professional and I know how to keep it professional.

“I found the confrontation not professional whatsoever.

“There was also another situation in the brand trip that was very uncomfortable, we had mutual friends.

“The situation was uncomfortable for the mutual friends and it was unprofessional for the trip.

“For the sake of the trip, I put everything to the side and we just was able to co-exist.

“For the trip. Emphasis on the trip, I am not friends with people who try to humiliate me, act spitefully towards me, spread misinformation about me.

“That is not someone I am friends with, or cool with.

“But again, we can co-exist at the end of the day.

“I think there was some progress made. Her and Scott did speak and an apology was made from her side, however, you can’t publicly try to spite someone, you can’t publicly do that, and then privately apologise.

“That’s not how it works. I think had there been some public acknowledgement of the situation, maybe there could have been a conversation, or something to move forward. There wasn’t. So there isn’t.

“That’s literally it. This is the only time that I am going to address it. It’s only because a New Year is coming up and I don’t want to keep talking about the same things.

“After the villa there was no friendship. There was a friendship in the villa.”

The Sun has contacted Whitney’s rep for comment.

Leanne wasn’t happy when Whitney told her best pal Scott Van-der-Sluis, who she met back in 2023 on Love Island, that he was more suited to US bombshell Sher Suarez while he was getting to know Leanne.

During the series, Whitney – who originally took part in series 10 – didn’t hold back as she shared her views on their romance.

To make matters worse, Leanne also showed an interest in Whitney’s man Yamen Sanders.

Tensions reached boiling point during Movie Night when the girls went head-to-head after Whitney accused Leanne of “egging” on the drama between the other girls.

Whitney had also fallen out with Leanne’s man Scott – who shared an update on their feud in June after her olive branch.

Leanne and Scott are still going strong after placing third on this year’s All Stars series – and even broke their silence on their relationship status after weeks of split rumours back in August.

Meanwhile Whitney and Yamen, who placed fifth on the spin-off, are no longer together.
