Love Island's Amber Gill shades last year's contestants: 'No one was my type'

Love Island’s Amber Gill has just gone and thrown all the shade at last year’s contestants.

The 21-year-old will be entering the villa in just two days time, and it seems as though she’s already started to make a name for herself.

When chatting to the Mail Online, the beauty therapist revealed she’d previously been asked to become an islander – however the request got lost in her DMs.

She told the publication: ‘I was asked on Instagram, I actually got asked the previous year as well but I had a boyfriend at the time and I didn’t see the message.

‘This year, it came up and I thought, “why not?”’

She added: ‘That’s the second time they’ve asked, so I thought, “why not answer it?”’

However, despite being asked to go on the show with Jack Fincham and Dani Dyer, it seems she’s pretty pleased she missed the opportunity.

Talking about her reactions to the contestants, the soon-to-be star revealed she would have ‘struggled a bit’ because ‘no one was her type.’

Burn.

This isn’t the only time Amber has made headlines, as an unearthed Instagram post raised eyebrows when she swore she ‘didn’t date black guys.’

The now-deleted Instagram story, saw the hopeful enjoying a night out of drinking and ‘twerking’ when the incident happened in December 2018.

During the night, Amber shared a post of herself being approached by a black man, with the words: ‘First of all I don’t like black guys X’.

She added: ‘Look at my face u know I’m about to boot off. [sic]’

Amber’s reps told Metro.co.uk that the footage was ‘taken out of context’ and that she is ‘not racist’ because her own dad is from Trinidad and Tobago.

The spokesperson told us: ‘We deleted the post as it was being taken out of context in regards to what actually happened.

‘The guy was pestering Amber all evening, and she said he was old enough to be her Dad, so was referring to “I don’t date black guys” because he reminded her of her own father.

‘The next part of the story stated this, but as the whole thing was being taken out of context we simply deleted.

‘Obviously, she’s not racist – her own father is from Trinidad/Tobego. She just didn’t want to date someone that looked the double of her Dad [sic].’
