Love Island Reunion 2022: “He’s giving me trouble!” Lacey calls out Deji for NOT taking her out on a date yet as they awkwardly meet again after two weeks
Love Island’s Lacey Edwards called out Deji Adeniyi for not even taking her on a date when they awkwardly reunited for Sunday’s series reunion.
The professional dancer, 25, faced the account manager, also 25, two weeks after they were booted by viewers as the “least compatible couple”.
And it soon became apparent that the show’s fans hadn’t been wrong in their judgments, as Deji claimed his former love interest was “p****d” that he didn’t try hard in the real world.

When Aftersun co-host Darren Harriott asked if the pair were “running strong,” Deji replied, “Yeah, I mean, obviously we’ve both been very busy, so…
“She’s obviously p****d that I didn’t take her on a first date.”
A horrified Darren replied: “What are you doing? Pull yourself together!’ with Lacey hilariously adding, “You make time for people when you want, don’t you?”
The presenter continued to stir the pot by asking if it was “hard” to date Deji as he “is famously known for wanting problems”.
Unpleasant! The professional dancer, 25, met the account manager, also 25, two weeks after he was booted by viewers as the “least compatible couple”.
Stirring the pot: When Aftersun co-host Darren Harriott asked if the pair were “running strong,” Deji replied, “Yeah, I mean, obviously we’ve both been very busy, so…”
Lacey said: “Right now he’s giving me problems. It’s so different since I came out of the mansion. It was so intense in the villa and we are really two very relaxed people. I think maybe we’re both too relaxed at the moment.”
Deji had arrived at the mansion with Indiyah Polack after bonding at Casa Amor, but the two went their separate ways when she reconnected with Dami Hope.
He later found a new spark in Lacey, and the pair seemed excited to explore their budding connection in the outside world.
Back in late July, when they were sent packing, a then-hopeful Lacey had said: “I’m honestly really grateful to have been able to be a part of the show. I’ve made really good friends and I’m excited to see what happens with me and Deji.’
Deji left with some iconic parting words, saying, “While I’m gone, I want everyone to say it with me… I don’t want peace, I want trouble!”
After her exit, he added: “I stand by what I’ve done. I don’t want to change anything. I was true to myself as to why I chose Indiyah and why we got along so well.
“If anything was fake she would have noticed and I definitely wouldn’t have been myself. I wouldn’t change anything.”
