Sherif Lanre: Love Island star issues message to fans after sudden exit

Popular contestant assures fans he’s ‘all good’

Love Island contestant Sherif Lanre has spoken out after being suddenly thrown off the ITV2 reality show.

The popular contestant, 20, was ejected from the villa under mysterious circumstances after breaking a rule. It remains unknown what he did to constitute the decision.

Sherif wrote on his Instagram story: “Thank you to everyone including my friends and family for the support I’ve come back to.

“I appreciate you all and hope I provided some good, positive moments during my time on Love Island and for anyone wondering, I’m all good.”

In the wake of the news, Sherif released a statement alongside producers of the show.

It said: “In a case of poor judgement, I broke the villa rules and as a result agreed with the producers that it was best for me to leave the villa. I regret that I didn’t conduct myself in the right way and, as a 20 year old guy, it’s something I know I will take on board and learn from.

“I really enjoyed my time in the villa and look forward to catching up with everyone on the outside.”

Sherif entered the villa ten days ago in the first episode of the fifth series. At the time of his departure from the show, he was coupled up with Anna Vakili.
