Niall Aslam's friends reveal why he quit Love Island
He left the show last week
Author: Alex RossPublished 21st Jun 2018 Last updated 20th Jul 2018
After just one week in the villa, last week, Islander Niall Aslam sensationally quit Love Island, with bosses revealing he'd decided to leave due to 'personal reasons'. However, since leaving the popular dating show, Niall has given no interviews and has stayed silent on social media, leaving viewers worried about him.
But now, according to Mail Online, Niall's friends have revealed the real reason why he left, admitting he is very 'insecure' about his appearance. Back in 2017, Niall underwent surgery to get his ears pinned back, with his friend saying, “Before he got his ears pinned back, if anyone wasn’t interested in him or made a joke, he’d assume it was about his ears and put a hat on for the rest of the day just to avoid people seeing.”
A source also told the publication, “Niall left for personal reasons regarding himself only. He doesn’t deal well with stress or criticism, and would hate to have situations where he’s involved in conflict publicised.
“It’s an emotionally stressful environment and he over worries to the point where he gets stressed."

Georgina, who Niall was coupled up with at the time, later went into the Beach Hut to express her sadness. She said, “Obviously I was coupled up with him so obviously I came closer to him than most people in here but it wasn’t just that. He was actually my friend, my buddy.”
Meanwhile, Niall's last public post on Instagram was from the 11th June, a selfie with fellow Islander Eyal Booker.
