KADY McDermott enjoyed a farewell dinner with her secret boyfriend the night before she jetted to Love Island, it has been claimed.
Despite going on the ITV show as a single person looking for love, Kady has been dating Liam Greer for more than a year, HOAR yesterday revealed.

And they spent a romantic night together before she flew to Mallorca to sensationally return to the hit dating show after finding fame in the 2016 series.
Fans have become suspicious of her unwillingness to find love even though she has been coupled on the show with hunky Zachariah Noble, 25.
A source close to the situation told HOAR: “Kady and Liam went for a posh dinner in Mayfair together the night before she left for Love Island, like a romantic goodbye.”
In February 2022, Kady and Liam, 30, enjoyed a romantic Valentine’s getaway at London’s 5-star Bvlgari Hotel.
At the time he was under police investigation.
Cops found more than £300,000 had been sent to his bank account within a week from various different people who specialist detectives are still trying to trace.
Police believed he was living at Kady’s renovated Hertfordshire bungalow and searched it as part of their investigation.
Despite this, the couple jetted off for a lavish break in the Maldives the following month – March 2022 – and then they were pictured together on holiday in Ibiza in September that year.
Greer was later charged with acquiring criminal property and admitted laundering £359,700 on April 20 this year when he appeared at Harrow Crown Court.
He pleaded guilty and is due to be sentenced next Friday when he faces a possible jail sentence of up to five years.
Neighbours said they have often seen him in recent weeks with Kady going to the gym and supermarket together or walking her dog Koby.
He was seen coming and going from her plush Herts home the week before Kady arrived in the Love Island villa on June 22.
When HOAR approached Liam last week and asked him about Kady, he said: “I’ve got nothing to say about that.”
A representative for Kady did not respond to request for comment on the dinner claims.
An ITV spokesperson said: “Kady was single at the time of entering the Villa.”
Dad-of-three Greer runs an electric bike company which police believe to be unconnected to the alleged money-laundering ring.
Greer was already ordered to forfeit £21,938.02 of the cash – held in a frozen bank account in his name – during a previous hearing at Westminster Magistrates Court on March 3, 2022.
A Met Police spokesman said: “A police investigation by specialist officers has resulted in a man pleading guilty to laundering over £300,000.
“Liam Greer, 30, from Watford, Herts pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing at Harrow Crown Court to laundering £359,700.
“He will be sentenced at the same court on Friday, 7 July.
“The conviction follows an investigation by officers from the Met’s Central Specialist Crime.”
Former make-up artist Kady, who has 1.2million Instagram followers, finished third in Love Island’s second series in 2016 with Scott Thomas, 34, brother to soap stars Adam and Ryan.
She went out with Made in Chelsea’s Myles Barnett, 29, for three years and bought her Hertfordshire home together before splitting in 2021.
Kady went on to briefly date Premier League footballer Matty Cash, 25, who plays right-back for Aston Villa and Poland.
Kady has coupled up with Zachariah Noble, who shares a striking resemblance to boyfriend Liam with hand tattoos and a similar haircut.
Despite stealing him off Molly Marsh, Kady continues to reject his advances including a kiss on the infamous terrace.
