Love Island's Indiyah reveals medics stepped in after awkward hair-loss mishap in villa

Love Island's Indiyah has detailed a mortifying moment which didn't make it on TV.

Indiyah Polack, who finished the hit-ITV2 dating show in third place alongside Dami Hope, had to be looked after by medics after the embarrassing ordeal.

The incident never made the cut and was never referenced on the show, but now the former hotel waitress from London has revealed all.

Speaking on the Saving Grace podcast, the 23-year-old laughed as she spilled on the moment producers had to call in the show's doctors.

She entered the villa on day one and made it all the way to the final, but it is not yet known when the incident happened during this year's season.

Chatting about it in the tell-all interview, Indiyah said: "I got a shaving rash and I had to call the medic. It was so itchy.

"I usually get a sugar wax, couldn't get that out there, so I had to shave every day."

Indiyah explained that she got "a bit shaving happy", saying: "I just shaved everywhere. Even the cheeks. And you’re not supposed to shave the cheeks.

"Shave the cheeks and then within two days, literally it was so f******g itchy and rashy."

According to the TV star, ITV's doctors had never had a case like hers, but agreed to help her out anyway after seeing how much pain she was in.

She added: "I called the medic. She was like, ‘We've never had a case like this before, but we’ll help you out’.

"I thought I was going to die. I was like, ‘This really hurts. Like it’s itchy. Please can we sort it out?’ It was awful."

The revelations come after news that Indiyah has signed a six-figure deal with PrettyLittleThing to become the first-ever ambassador for its new Marketplace.

She took to Instagram to share the exciting news with fans after PLT received backlash for 'using her for engagement'.

"*internally screaming* I can finally tell you what we’ve been working on for so long!!" she captioned a photoshoot of her posing in Marketplace clothing.

"I am the FIRST EVER ambassador for @prettylittlething Marketplace!! This is a dream come true and I can’t wait to bring you all on the journey with me!

Indiyah explained: "As soon as I knew PLT wanted me to support this initiative and be the ambassador for the marketplace, where the focus is on re-wearing and re-selling which is something that's important to me, I knew I wasn't going to turn the opportunity down.

"I've taken my time coming out of the villa, ensuring I have the best management team on board to help me with my career, but I'm so excited we can finally announce this partnership and share it with everyone."
