Love Island star drops huge hint he’s heading BACK into villa after disastrous Casa Amor stint
LOVE Island star Kodie Murphy has dropped a huge hint he’s heading back into the villa after his disastrous Casa Amor stint.
Kodie, 22, found fame on the 2023 summer series when he arrived as a mid-series bombshell.
But his time on the ITV2 show was short-lived as the social media marketer was dumped after just five days.
For a minute, it appeared he’d struck up a romance with Amber Wise, 19, after returning home to the UK.
But their fling soon called off and he was later linked with an OnlyFans model named Em Leah.
That has seemingly ended now, too, as Kodie’s latest social media activity suggests he’s single and set for a show comeback.
Taking to TikTok yesterday, the Birmingham-native posted a video of himself taking a mock call from inside an airport.
Layering the footage against Nokia by Drake, he wrote: “POV: Love Island made the call again.”
With Series 12 set to launch on June 2, his cheeky post has delighted fans.
One commented: “PLEASE,” while another gushed: “HES BACKKKK!!!!” and a third joked: “someone get me a passport I’m going out to get my man.”
But Kodie’s time on the show wasn’t without controversy.
Just days before his exit, Kodie became embroiled in a bullying row after being accused of homophobic abuse.
One former school pupil wasn’t happy at seeing the familiar face enter the villa.
Sharing Love Island’s introduction to Kodie, they wrote on Twitter: “What a way to end pride month, a boy who I went secondary school with who bullied me for being gay is put on love island.”
One user commented: “Oh my god that’s awful.”
Another said: “I second this. I’ve seen it happen from Kodie.”
A third posted: “Is this true? That’s not nice, hopefully he has grown since then. Teenagers can be something else.”
Love Island representatives declined to comment at the time.
Kodie has remained off TV since then, making a living as an OnlyFans creator instead.
