Coco Lodge says the 'Love Island' boys made cruel jibes about her appearance.
Coco Lodge left upset by Love Island comments about appearance
The 27-year-old former contestant was left devastated when some of the boys in the villa cruelly compared her to the other girls and labelled her a "four out of 10".
Speaking on 'The Murad Merali Podcast', Coco said: "There was comments made when the filming was off that I was a four out of 10 by some of the boys. I don’t know who said it, Summer heard it.”
Labelling the remarks "sexist", she said: "Yeah, you’re a four out of 10, Paige is a 12. I think they said it to Paige, I don’t really know.
“These comments were made and I had a really hard time in there as it was. I was crying a lot for the first few days.”
And, Coco admitted remarks from the public were equally hurtful.
She said: "I didn’t expect it… it hurts to see because it’s about your appearance. How I was perceived on the show isn’t my personality, they’ve edited me to look a certain way. But to comment about my appearance is honestly hurtful… They don’t choose the most flattering stuff."
However, Coco insisted that reality is different to the edited show and said viewers can't always believe what they see.
She said: "I think being in there, it's very different to the edited version of the show you see.
"And I think people could take some of the controlling behaviour however, when you're in there, and you see how someone is like 24/7 I think like that is not the case personally. Everyone gets on really well.”
