Samie Elishi appeared on the podcast hosted by Love Island winners Millie Court and Liam Reardon and made some explosive claims about her time in the villa
Love Island sweethearts Millie Court and Liam Reardon have hit the brakes on social media interaction after their chat with fellow Islander Samie Elishi took a heated turn on their podcast.
The couple, aged 29 and 25 respectively, saw sparks fly when 25 year old Samie disclosed that she’d confronted her All Stars nemesis Grace Jackson for calling her the “snakiest” contestant.
As Samie shared emotional memories of her teary debut in the villa, trolls began sending flak her way, leading to a feisty clap-back as she told one detractor to “do one”. Amid the turmoil, Millie and Liam decided to take precautionary measures, opting to shut down comment sections on their personal social media pages while Samie faces ongoing scrutiny.

Reflecting on her tumultuous first day, Samie revealed to Millie and Liam during the podcast: “My first day I was so upset I was literally outside crying all day to the producers…” She continued, expressing her unease: “I was like what am I doing here?” The candid discussion went further as she questioned her place in the villa: “I was like, I don’t like anyone… is there any other Bombshells coming in? And they kind of told me, but not told me, that I was the last bombshell to walk in.
“And then I was like, oh this is just long. So now I knew that I was just going to be used to mess with couples.”
Samie entered the Love Island as a late arrival and had set her sights on Brighton lad Luca Bish, despite him being coupled up with Grace Jackson. While in the villa, she and Grace didn’t quite see eye-to-eye with them embroiled in a bitter feud during Samie’s time on the show. Also on the podcast, Samie admitted she took Grace to one side at The BRITs to confront her after they had both tried to avoid each other when partying with the same friends.

She said on the podcast: “I did speak to her just because I said that I didn’t appreciate that she called me the snakeiest Islander on the podcast. I just said to her, honestly, I feel like I haven’t done anything in my eyes to you and it was just about the messages and stuff.”
Samie was referring to Grace’s explosive row with Liv Hawkins in the villa, when Liv suggested she had seen messages in which Grace claimed she would “do anything” to win. Samie added to the podcast: “She agreed that she didn’t think that Liv had photoshopped them or anything like that, which I was like oh okay, well can you tell everyone else that. I just knew what Liv was going through, and I what I was going through as well, and I was like it just wasn’t nice. She fully knows about the hate, but she didn’t apologise for calling me the snake. She just said that’s how I felt, so we just kind of left it as that.”

Reacting to the episode on Reddit, Love Island fans were left stunned by recent events. One viewer commented: “Samie put her foot in it by backing Liv with the Grace screenshots. If she just stayed quiet this would’ve been between just Liv and Grace,” They continued: “She can’t really speak the way she’s speaking saying Grace needs to clear anything up when her and Liv were the ones who put grace in this mess.”
Another said: “Sounds like both grace and Liv/Samie have been through a lot off the back of these allegations which just shows it really wasn’t worth bringing up in the first place.” Another fan noted: “Grace never called her snakey, she said that Samie and Liv were the least trustworthy because of the screenshots.
