LOVE ISLAND has a series of new contenders on Casa Amor.
And among them is footballer Dennon Lewis, who friends say is delighted to be on the show after working hard all season.
Dennon Lewis started his career with the Watford academy and signed a three-year professional contract when he was 18.
After loan stints with Woking and Crawley, the 22-year-old was released in 2018 and joined Falkirk.
In a troubled spell at the Scottish club, Lewis suffered racial abuse from a section of his own fans, playing away to Stenhousemuir.
After the match, he wrote on a heartfelt Instagram message, saying: “I have never gone through a period like this in my life.
“From a footballing standpoint things are not going as planned for anyone involved at the club however from a personal standpoint never in a million years would I have expected to be subject to racial abuse from Falkirk fans.
“I understand the frustration and anger as a lover of football myself all you want is to see is your club do well. However for me this is a line crossed and the abuse received is disgusting.
“Whilst the future is unclear at this moment in time I am still a Falkirk player and will try to do my best for the team and support everyone involved with the club.”
“Finally I appreciate the messages received and I know this doesn’t embody the Falkirk fans in its entirety.
“Please understand where I am coming from with this message and I know that I will not and cannot stand for this.”
Lewis now plays for National League South side Wealdstone after joining this year.
