Love Island's Kady McDermott addresses 'beef' with co-star Molly Marsh

Kady appeared on Love Island Aftersun

Love Island star Kady McDermott has addressed her apparent feud with her co-star Molly Marsh. After Kady made a dramatic return to the villa, Molly was dumped after Kady chose to couple up with Zachariah Noble.

After Molly came back to the villa in a shock Casa Amor twist, she then rekindled her romance with Zach. After Kady left the Island in a brutal dumping, Molly could be seen to smile when she learned Kady had left, saying it had 'done her a favour'.

Appearing on Love Island Aftersun on Sunday (23rd July) alongside her love interest Ouzy See, Kady told host Maya Jama about the rivalry. She said: "I got on so well with Molly, she did my hair, she wore my bikinis, there was no drama.

"At the end of the day, she is six or seven years younger than me. I can't beef a 21-year-old. But then when she's smirking and saying, 'I'm so glad she left, I can't wait to see the back of her', she wouldn't dare say that if I was in there so I was like, 'Okay, you're wearing my bikini while cussing me, fair play.'"

After Maya joked: "So the reunion is going to be fun, isn't it?", Kady replied: "So fun, so fun. It was such a shock because genuinely, we got on really well. I wanted to be friends with her and we did get on well... I thought we were fine, but..."

Kady also spoke about the moment she snogged Zach in the 'Snog, Marry, Pie' challenge, as she ruled out chemistry between her and Zach. She said: "Guys it was just a challenge and I'd already snogged him. Zach is great but look at Ouzy, just look at him."

Following her exit from the villa, Kady also took to Twitter to react to Molly's comments regarding her departure. A viewer wrote: 'Oii @LoveIsland after seeing mollys smirks and that, run @kadymcdermottx back ONE MORE TIME!!' (sic)

Kady retweeted the comment and added: 'Whilst she was wearing my bikini, make it make sense.'
