LOVE Island fans are convinced they’ve spotted a tell tale sign that proves Whitney Adebayo and Leanne Amaning are not pals.
The two reality TV stars have been on-screens of late in Love Island All Stars, which concluded this week.
Both making it to the show’s final, won by Samie Elishi and Ciaran Davies, Whitney ended in fifth place with Yamen Sanders, while Leanne and her beau Scott Van der Sluis took third.
Appearing on the Love Island: Morning After podcast with Yamen post-final, Whitney was asked to debrief on the drama-filled series and give her opinion on the various villa feuds and arguments that took place.
It was here that the All Stars stunner told host Indiyah Pollack who she was friendliest with on the show, dropping names and missing one out.
“I’m friends with Scott, I’m friends with Millie, I’m friends with Samie, with Lucinda, with Belle,” she said. “I’m friends with everyone.”
Leanne’s name was notably not singled out or mentioned in the list and fans online are now claiming that the two have never been firm friends.
“I always thought she was rude to Leanne too,” claimed one viewer on Reddit.
“I saw nobody mentioning this but there were so many times Leanne would be speaking and whit would just cut her off and Leanne would give her a bitchy look.
“Imo whit thinks overpowering people = being right and has no regard for how her behaviour comes across or affects people,” they concluded.
Another agreed on the take, commenting: “She’s just constantly defensive.
“Note how she said she’s friends with all the girls except Leanne.”
It’s not the first time the pair’s relationship has been called into question, with fans objecting to one All Stars moment that saw Whitney wading into a villa love triangle between Scott, Leanne and Sher Suarez.
Scott asked Whitney what he should do in the situation and she told him that he was better suited to Sher than Leanne because he needs a girl to put him in his place.
She even contemplated on her comment as she asked if it was “snakey”.
“So erm… does Whitney hate Leanne?? Why would she say that?” wrote one fan on reddit at the time, with another penning: “WOWWWWW WHITNEY. What a snake. She never wanted them together from the start.”
Whitney and Yamen’s interview with Indiyah on the official show podcast has also been a hot topic of conversation for another reason online with fans picking up on an awkward vibe between the two ladies.
Hours after the episode was released, Indiyah unfollowed Whitney on Instagram.
During the chat, Indiyah asked Whitney: “Do you ever feel like, sometimes, you got involved in the drama when maybe you didn’t need to?”
“What drama? So I can double down,” replied Whitney.
“Just between the girls, like between you, Belle, Samie..” Indiyah began to reply, as Whitney interjected: “What drama?”
As Indiyah attempted to expand on her question, Whitney replied: “But was that drama or was that advice?”
The interview continued and appeared awkward between the two, with fans noticing in the comment section of the podcast.
One fan wrote: “Whitney came across a bit salty here towards Indiyah, bit awkward.”
Claiming that she was treating Indiyah different to host Maya Jama, another fan said: “Whitney wouldn’t be responding to Maya like this sha. Just saying.”
Insiders have told The Sun that it’s Whitney’s friendship with Indiyah’s ex-boyfriend Dami Hope which is the source of the feud.
