Indiyah Pollack has been a stand-out favourite since the start of this year’s Love Island. A true girls’ girl, the Londoner has stayed out of any drama and always been on hand with the best advice.
Indiyah has proven time and time again that being true to herself is more important to her than “cracking on” – squirming over the idea of kissing Ikenna Ekwonna on camera and not smooching Deji Adeniyi in Casa Amor out of loyalty to Dami Hope.
But it seems that Indiyah’s loyalty to Dami may have been misplaced as the Dubliner ditched her for Casa Amor newbie Summer Botwe, who he had been kissing in bed each night. Tut-tut.
At the tense fire-pit recoupling, Indiyah – who opted to recouple with Deji – slammed Dami, sassily saying, “Expect the unexpected, I see his true colours now.”
But the 23-year-old’s friends Symone and Beryl tell new that the Indiyah we’re seeing on the big screen is just how she is in real life and they’re so proud that their friend is sticking to her guns.
“I didn’t doubt that people were going to like Indiyah,” Beryl says. “When she told us she was going in, we said, ‘Just be yourself.’ She has so many people around her who love her for who she is.”
So after the shock waves that Casa Amor sent through the villa, who knows what the future holds for Indiyah and whether things with Dami are over for good. But Beryl and Symone, who have been Indiyah’s friends since school, are adamant she still has what it takes to win – with or without Dami.
Here, they open up about the former Islanders who have Indiyah’s back and reveal why they still have a soft spot for Dami…
