TWICE axed Love Islander Blu Chegini has claimed that show host Maya Jama was “cold” towards him during his time on the show.
Blu became best known for two very short-lived stints on the ITV2 programme and for failing to find a solid connection during his time in the villa.

But since his second exit from the Majorcan compound, he has since claimed to have received the cold shoulder from host Maya.
During his first stay, Blu was coupled up with Alima but it soon transpired there was not a connection between the pair.
However, Blu faced online backlash with some suggesting he had written off a connection with Alima too quick.
Blu has now suggested that this could have been the reason behind Maya’s apparent disdain for him.
In a new interview he said of Maya: “Maya Jama was cold towards me because I was opinionated, or maybe the whole Alima controversy has turned her off me.
“I got backlash for saying Alima wasn’t my type, I wasn’t her type either. She didn’t get backlash.”
The Sun has contacted a representative for Maya Jama for comment.
Speaking to to Simon Gross on Get Gossy With Grossy, Blu also went on to admit that sometimes his comments on the show could have been misconstrued due to his struggled with speaking English.
The star was educated in Spain and he admitted this had an impact on the way he communicated inside the villa.
Blu said: “I am now working on communication, personal development.
“I was angry in the show, I struggle with English as I was schooled in Spain.
“I love women, I have respect for women. I couldn’t play the villain card; it’s not in my nature.”
Blu was originally dumped from the villa in week one when it was left down to himself and Shea Mannings to self-evict from the show.
After a showdown in which he famously insisted he “wasn’t f***ing leaving,” Blu walked out of the villa.
He returned over a month later for a second shot at love but failed to find a connection and was soon axed as a result of a public vote which saw him and Helena Ford given the boot a week before the final as a result of being in a friendship couple.
