‘I was very frustrated’: Love Island’s Samie Elishi reveals she had a major off-screen argument with co-star Martin Akinola while on Casa Amor
Samie Elishi revealed that she disagreed with co-star Martin Akinola in Casa Amor, but the argument was never aired on ITV2.
The Love Island finalist, who was paired with Tom Clare, said the altercation happened during the day the islanders were having lunch when the cameras stopped rolling.
Samie said during a Q&A on her YouTube channel that the argument was “petty” but that Martin was “ungrateful” and she called him out for it.
She said: ‘We had a fight off screen and it couldn’t air because it was dinner time.
“Me and Martin had a fight off camera and it was kind of petty. But everything in there was very intense and heightened and he was complaining about the food. The food was great.’

The brunette beauty explained that she disagreed with the way the Casa Amor boy spoke to the production crew responsible for providing daily meals during their stay in South Africa.
She continued, “I’m really someone who says, ‘be grateful, you have this amazing experience, you’re here, we get free food, we’re taken care of by these people who don’t’ They don’t even know us, they take care of us as if we were children there”.
“I was very frustrated at the time. I was like “just be thankful, why are you moaning? Why are you talking to the villa producer like that?”‘
She admitted that the pair never resolved the argument, they were simply forced to “agree to disagree” because they are “very different people.”
She added, “In my opinion, he was quite rude to our villa producer who I absolutely loved and who took care of us at Casa Amor. So we had a little bickering and it lasted for a few days.
“But in the end you all make it up and we just agree to disagree. But me and Martin will never agree.
“We are very different people, we are cut from different fabrics. That’s it, that’s what didn’t air.’
Samie also answered a fan question about her clash with co-star Ron Hall, who was criticized for sticking to a “game plan” in the villa.

She said, ‘Why do you hate Ron? I don’t hate Ron. I like Ron, we get along well.
“Obviously the way it was aired and portrayed over the past week kind of seemed like everyone was on Ron. But I don’t hate Ron.
“We had our little fights, and we’re a lot like the way we talk and go about things. We speak with our hands, we are very dramatic.
“But in there everything is a hundred times. The whole game plan, take it with a grain of salt. We’re fine now.’
