Love Island's Josh Le Grove has revealed that he friend-zoned Danica Taylor because she gave him "the ick".
Josh joined fellow dumped islander, Coco Lodge, on the latest episode of podcast Reality with Will Njobvu to speak about their time in the villa.
In a preview of the episode, Josh is seen admitting that he friend-zoned Danica because she gave him "the ick", which made him call it quits with her on the show before he was booted off the island last week.
On the podcast, Josh Le Grove was asked if he used Danica to get to the main villa – where he admitted that he was just looking for love and someone he can "chill with" outside of the villa.
Josh replied: "No, I've been asked that question a lot, if you speak to any of the Casa boys they'll tell you that.
"I said 'if I get in, I get in, if I don't, I don't'. On the outside I have fun so when I went in I was like 'I need to be with someone I can chill with on the outside'.
"In there you're taking intimacy out of the equation, so you need to be able to chill with that person and not get bored.
"I didn't get bored, but I felt like I was clashing a little bit, and I was getting the ick a little bit.
Josh continued: "Nothing bad, just certain bits… listen, she's a beautiful girl."
Host Will Njobvu insisted: "What did she do to give you the ick? Don't try to backtrack!"
"Certain immature bits, maybe just too much energy for me right then. I thought 'this isn't going to work for me on the outside, so I'm looking for something that's gonna work on the outside.'"
Danica Taylor decided to go for Josh after getting closer to him during the Casa Amor challenge. At that point she had struggled to form a strong couple with any of the lads in the main villa.
Prior to Casa Amor, she had been coupled with Luca, Jacques, and Jay – but none of them clicked with the Leicester dancer.
But her coupling with Josh was short-lived, as she was quickly friend-zoned by the 22 year old model.
Most recently, Danica has been paired up with Josh's fellow Casa Amor contestant, Billy Brown.
Despite being coupled up with Danica, Billy snubbed her during the Snog, Marry, Pie contest – deciding to kiss Gemma Owen and Marry Paige Thorne, two girls he'd previously expressed interest in.
Upset over the snub, Danica broke down in tears, asking "Why don't I deserve that? I don't understand.
"Not one person genuinely wants to get to know me romantically, I don't understand."
Following his actions, Billy got a grilling from other islanders, with Adam Collard telling him at point blank: "Mate, you royally f****d it."
Later he admitted he "regretted it" after seeing Danica upset, originally thinking it was "banter" – but dropped a further bombshell by telling her that "I'm not feeling that romantic thing" despite saying he "could see myself moving forward in a romantic scenario with you."
Josh and Coco's appearance on Reality with Will Njobvu will be released on YouTube on Friday
