Love Island star looks unrecognisable months after controversial exit from show

A Love Island star looks unrecognisable from his time in the villa, just six months after a controversial dumping ensured his appearance was brief on the ITV2 show.

The 26-year-old French reality star, Mehdi Edno, has undergone quite a transformation since being on our screens in June, when he set pulses racing with his appearance, which saw him snog a number of the girls in the villa during the infamous heart rate challenge before the public voted to dump him from the show before he'd had a chance to click romantically with anyone there.

Having said that, Whitney Adebayo was in tears before his dumping as they had coupled up for the few days he was on the show and she was upset with his behaviour in the challenge and was then just as upset after the public sent him home.

Mehdi now looks completely different from his Love Island days and has shared his new style with his 60,000 followers on social media. He showed off his longer, curly hair as he posed with designer glasses. His followers were loving his new look, which he showed off while in Bordeaux, in his native country, and many commented with fire emojis and heart-eyed emojis as they gave the sports hunk their seal of approval.

Medhi had no regrets from his time on the ITV2 dating show and said about Whitney after dumping: ""Obviously it’s hard for me to leave now as we had something good going on but I’m hopeful we can make things work, for now, she needs to live her experience to the fullest."

He then added what would be his perfect date with Whitney, saying: "We’d have to go and eat some snails! Of course, we would go to romantic restaurants, nice walks, go see the Eiffel Tower in Paris and do whatever she wants to do. I’d be her tour guide."

Unfortunately for Mehdi, these dates will not be fulfilled with Whitney coupling with another Islander and showing no interest in hooking up with the French star after she left the villa.

Meanwhile Mehdi has put that inkling of romance behind him and recently announced that he was going to be an ambassador for Diabetes UK, in honour of his sister who has the condition. Writing on Instagram when announcing the new role, Mehdi said: "Being blessed by life is a gift, but the ability to give back is an even greater privilege. Today, I’m excited to start my journey as an ambassador for the charity @diabetesuk to help my sister and hopefully many others who live with the condition. It’s not about what we have, but how we use it to make a difference."
