LOVE Island winner Liam Reardon is in the dating series to prove he’s a “nice guy” – as the Welshman can’t shift his love-rat reputation.
The plasterer, who split from 2021 co-star Millie Court in July, believes he was “manipulated” into cheating scenes during his time in Casa Amor.
It broke Millie’s heart before she eventually forgave him.
Liam, who is still bitter about how he came across, says Celebs Go Dating is the perfect opportunity to show the real him, while also having another shot at romance.
He said: “I feel as though I was trying to be myself on Love Island.
“Maybe I got manipulated to be something else at certain times, like at Casa Amor.
“A lot of people still maybe hold a grudge for something I did, and they have this perception of me being a bad person, when I’m not, I don’t think.
“I feel like I’m a nice guy – I try to be a nice guy.
“I made a mistake at Casa Amor but I don’t want it to define me.”
Get over it, Liam.
