Love Island legend Ched Uzor reveals he rejected All Stars twice due to secret three-year romance
LOVE Island star Ched Uzor has revealed he declined taking part in the All Stars series twice.
The muscular personal trainer, 27, found fame in 2020 when he couple up with glamorous twin Jess Gale.
But the pair's romance was limited to the villa and quickly fizzled out when they returned to the real world amid the backdrop of the coronavirus pandemic.
But it didn't take long for Ched to find long-lasting love and it's because of this he has no interest in a return to the villa.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun on behalf of stocklytics.com, he said: "They got in contact with my agent twice but I'm a married man, well not married yet, but I'm settled.
"I don't keep it quiet but I don't feel they keep that much of a tab on everyone really.

"People that know me know, and the people that follow me know I've got a missus so... maybe they wanted to bring Jess on there as well so that's why they wanted me to go on there. But who knows, man."
Explaining how they met, Ched said: "Since July 2021, so coming on to three years now. Man's not on any apps. We don't use apps, bro, we don't use apps. I met her outside a club actually."
Ched spent 20 days in the villa and though he was coupled up with Jess for most of it, they stopped short of making anything official.
It meant there was no heartache when they went their separate ways back in the UK.
"We never really got into a relationship," said Ched. "We left the villa and it was lockdown. We hardly saw each other and we called it off because we weren't seeing each other. We weren't talking really, there's no hard feeling there. I get on with Jess, I get on with Eve. I get on with everyone really."
The current All Stars series has three contestants from Ched's series: Demi Jones, Callum Jones and Molly Smith.
The latter two had a three-year relationship following season six, which came to an end in September.
Their reunion is one of this series' biggest talking points so far and there have been rumours the pair are staging their break-up to get back in the limelight.
However, Ched doesn't believe that's the case.
He said: "I feel they're actually broken up because I just can't see them doing that. Think about it, would you let your missus go on there and crack on with other people? That don't make sense. Who's gonna do that?
"I'm not letting my missus crack on with someone else, that's just me though.
"Callum's a nice guy and Molly's a nice girl as well. I don't feel they could do that. She's been crying as well they're not that good actors."
