Oh dear!

Liverpudlian Hayley Hughes came out with some corkers during her time on Love Island 2018. Highlights include her comments on Brexit and her questioning what an earlobe was. But now the reality TV star has hit back, claiming the show was edited to make her look thick.
She told the Daily Star, “There were conversations viewers didn’t see. I wasn’t just sitting there saying Brexit would affect the trees – there was more to it."
She added, “Obviously, the show is only an hour long and they have to clip it down. So what I was saying didn’t make sense. It looked like I’d just come out with anything."
Hayley also claimed she was simply asking what everyone in our country wanted to ask.
“I got so much judgement even though I said what everybody else was thinking," she said. "I don’t think many people have a clue about Brexit.”

Mr Colgate looks completely different in this old photo of him in the boxing ring. The self-proclaimed pen salesman has definitely found himself (and a self-tan mitt) since then and is now giving use all the feels with almost-girlfriend Dani Dyer.

In another interview, Hayley also failed to name our Prime Minister, claiming she "didn't understand politics".
But since leaving the villa, she's interviewed members of parliament and educated herself about politics.
“I can’t really remember that comment about Brexit, but I have more of an understanding what Brexit is now," she said.
“I have learned a lot since I’ve been in there so that’s a good thing. The biggest thing I learned is that I have to be true to myself.”
Hayley's comments regarding Brexit went viral, after she claimed she didn't know what it was and asked her fellow Islanders, "Does that mean we won't have any trees?"
