Love Island's Coco looks for holiday romance on Tinder after failing to find love on show

Love Island star Coco Lodge has revealed she's looking for love in a different place, after failing to find romance on the ITV2 show.

The reality TV star, 27, has recently implied she is using Tinder in France - jokingly hinting she is looking for a rich yacht owner - after her stint on the dating show earlier this summer didn't result in any successful romances and budding relationships.

Coco- who recently revealed her real name is Chloe - first appeared this year's series of Love Island during the Casa Amor stage, where Andrew Le Page went on to take her back to the main Spanish villa despite originally being coupled up with his now-girlfriend Tasha Ghouri.

After the infamous 'licked her t** or whatever' saga, Andrew eventually reunited with model Tasha and Coco was left looking for love once again - ultimately given the boot from the show alongside Josh Le Grove prior to the show's final.

Back in the outside world, graphic designer and shot girl Coco has seemingly confessed she's keen to return to the dating world, and jokingly admitted she's on the lookout for a rich man in France.

The star is currently on a hen do in Cannes alongside some of her pals and has been treating her Instagram followers to a slew of snaps and snippets of the breathtaking views she is enjoying in the French Riviera town.

Taking to her Instagram Stories on Sunday, Coco shared a stunning video of the stunning terrain which included mega yachts moored around its port, jokingly captioning the snippet: "Tinder search mile radius 0.01km [laughing-face emoji]."

Coco's French break comes as she prepares to return to her pre-show job as a shot girl, recently saying on Reality with Will Njobvu: "I'm not just gonna live on my savings, no. So I'm gonna go back [to shot girling]."

The star also recently opened up about some of the negative comments and trolling she enduring during her time on Love Island - admitting some of the cruel quips were "really damaging initially".

Sharing a selection of some of the negative social media comments to her Instagram page last month, Coco told her followers: "Coming out the villa I was greeted by a vile amount of nasty tweets and TikTok’s about my appearance. It was really damaging initially but I will bounce back more resilient."

She continued: "I’ll never be good enough if I judge my selfworth on a strangers opinion. Thank you to everyone I’ve met and who has messaged me with kind empowering words and who was fighting these comments when I was in the villa [love-heart emoji] And for those others this is your reminder to #bekind #selflovejourney."

Dr Alex George - who appeared on Love Island in 2018 - was one of the many celebrities to comment on Coco's post, writing: "I can tell you, without doubt, that these comments say much more about them, than they do you. Projecting your own insecurities and unhappiness on others, doesn’t solve your own issues. Chin up and stay strong."
