Love Island fans fear for Deji after bombshell Lacey drops major red flag

Love Island viewers have begged Deji Adeniyi to stay away from bombshell Lacey Edwards after she admitted that she is a 'red flag' when it comes to relationships.

The 25-year-old professional dancer had chosen Deji, who was one of the single boys in the villa, for one of her first dates after arriving in the villa.

During her one-to-one chat with him, while on their romantic date, she admitted that she had "cheated" on her last boyfriend but was hoping her time in the villa would help her "change".

Swindon-based Lacey told Deji that she has been travelling the world while working as a show girl.

This led him to ask: "You must have fell in love a million times around the world."

Lacey replied: "Yes, I've had three and a half serious relationships because we weren't in a relationship but it was a cheating situation-ship.

Deji was a little taken aback, and asked: "On his side or your side?"

The new bombshell admitted: "Both."

This admission also surprised Deji, who said: "You're the bad one."

Lacey replied: "I am the bad one, and I hold my hands up but I'm trying to change so give me some credit."

Deji admitted that he was finding the situation "intriguing" but Lacey was not finished there and added: "I'm dressed as a red flag. I'm a good girlfriend until I cheat - so we just won't get to that point."

He replied: "Literally I should not be entertaining this - lips and everything."

Viewers had already made their minds up and took to social media to urge Deji not to get too involved and that Lacey's confession should be enough to make him stay away.

Taking to Twitter, a number of Love Island fans had their say.

One concerned fan tweeted: "Not sure admitting you're a cheater is the most desirable quality in a future girlfriend. #LoveIsland"

Another added: "Deji don't fall for this woman's nonsense please. #LoveIsland"

While a third said: "Na I would have got up mid convo and walked off it I was Deji. #LoveIsland"

Lacey is hoping that Love Island will be the place where she finds a boyfriend, after work had denied her the opportunity to meet other single men.

Before heading into the villa, Lacey said: "I’ve been dancing all over the world since I was 18 when I moved to France, I recently came to one of the ends of my contracts in France and I was like I am really ready to meet someone and my friends were like why haven’t you applied for Love Island before you’re literally perfect for it."

She added: "I’ve been so busy dancing all over the world, I go out in London a lot but I can never date because I am always back in France the next morning."
