LOVE Island star Mehdi has revealed he was forced to see the medic after burning his lips.
The French hunk, 26, admitted he was unable to kiss Whitney during his time in the villa due to painful pout – and had to get permission to finally do so.
Mehdi has revealed he got very burnt lips and had to see the medic
He was coupled up with Whitney during this time in the villa
Speaking on the Love Island Morning After podcast about why he didn’t rush to smooch Whitney, Mehdi shared: “The first reason is, I have never watched the show so I don’t know what pace you have to go. Being older I was like I don’t have feelings in two days, I need to wait for the perfect moment.
“And then the other reason is my lips got burnt so I couldn’t, I wasn’t allowed to kiss. I got sunburn on my lips. I saw the medic and she was like now you are ready.”
The scenes were never shown on TV.
Mehdi and Whitney were slow burners during his time on the show, but seemed to be moving forward just as he was got dumped from the villa.
Whitney was seen breaking down in tears after he left as Mehdi told her to try and find love.
He has since said he plans to wait for her, despite her already moving on and trying to connect with the new lads in Casa Amor.
