Legendary Love Islander reveals he signed up to be All Stars OG but dropped out after ITV ‘messed him around’
A LEGENDARY Love Islander claims he pulled out of the All Stars series after being 'messed around' by ITV.
Theo Campbell, 32, found fame in the third series of the reality show and had hoped to make a comeback this year in the South African villa.
But Theo has spoken to fans on social media and insists he was approached for All Stars but pulled out due to "politics".
He wrote on Instagram: "I was supposed to start. But politics, so I didn't. And now I'm not going at all. You don't get me, mess me about, I can say that much."
Theo - who dated series 2018 islander Kaz Crossley for 11 months - spoke more about his claims in a video, saying he told show bosses he wanted to be a "wildcard".
"I did say originally that I'll come on as a wildcard," he said.

"I don't know these people, they ain't my mates. I'm just going to be there to f*** s*** up."
Theo added: "I said, 'If you're not going to bring me on in the first two weeks not to bother at all'.
"They wanted to bring me in towards the end and I was like, it's only five weeks long. The first two weeks is halfway nearly, so yeah, that's why it hasn't worked out."
Theo entered the Love Island villa on Day 32 in 2017 and was dumped nine days later.
In March 2019, he began dating series four islander Kaz and they were in a relationship for almost a year.
Theo later claimed that it was Kaz who called time on their romance.
He told FUBAR Radio: "I feel like with us, I kinda gave it my everything and it feels a bit underappreciated. It's a bit crazy at the moment.
"I don't know what to call it. What's the right way to say it? I got slinged!"
In his latest Instagram address, Theo said he refused to be an All Stars bombshell as he would need lots of airtime to "work the magic".
"I came on late when I first did it, so I don't want to come on late again," he said.
"There's only so much I could do to f*** s*** up. I need more than a week to do that. Sometimes to work the magic, it can't be done in a day. "
