LOVE Island’s Tiffany Leighton has slammed the show after she was made to look ‘ditzy and vacant’ – and has insisted ‘that’s not me’.
The 25-year-old took entered the latest series as a bombshell on day 12, but was dumped nine days later.
Tiffany got herself involved in a love triangle with Ronnie Vint and Harriett Blackmore, but as the days went on she decided to just be pals with the semi pro footballer.
The beauty doesn’t think that her personality got to shine through properly and that she came across as a bit of a “weirdo”.
Speaking about her time in the villa, Tiffany exclusively told The Sun: “They did portray me to be like a bit like a weirdo that made dolphin noises and stuff.
“So I thought that the public kind of gave me a bit of abuse for that I mean, like I came across a bit ditzy, which I am a bit ditzy.
“I will put my hands up, but like there’s a lot of like I got quite a lot of trolling like ‘lights on no one’s home’, and I got a lot of abuse like about like my teeth and things. I think I was self conscious before, I got invisalign and composite bonding.
“Everyone was giving me hate for my teeth, calling me ‘teethany’. I mean it’s not nice.”
She added: “Everyone was like this girl all she does is just smile and open her mouth.
“I think it is obviously a very surreal thing in there.
“But yeah, the way they portrayed me is like I literally like have no personality, and that I don’t know how to have a conversation, and all I speak about is like raspberries.
“But I actually do like have a bit about me. I’m actually a normal person…
“I do have a personality.
“But yeah, on there. I don’t know what the producers were trying to do to me, but they were making me out to be a weirdo.”
Asking if she looked at the comments, Tiffany said: “I don’t have Facebook and I don’t have Twitter, so I don’t look on there, but on TikTok and Instagram and things, even people comment on my own pictures.
“So when I come out and I’m going on my Instagram, I can see the comments myself.
Love Island is back on the box with a batch of sexy islanders all looking for love this summer.

Dumped:
Quit:
“I just think everyone preaches this whole be kind, and then they’re not kind.
“They will just hide behind fake accounts and things. And obviously when you’re doing something to improve yourself, and then you’re getting abused, you literally can’t win sort of thing.
“It’s like when I was younger, I used to get bullied for my weight and things, and then I lost weight and things to do that.
“So yeah, you just need things to improve your self-confidence and things, and then you still get trolled.
“So I just think it’s really hard. It’s hard. Obviously you go on a show and you expect to get trolled, but then to actually read it is quite hard and stuff.
“But you’ve just got to be thick skinned, because these people, they just start trying to pick on anything, don’t they?”
Tiffany was accused of “using” Ronnie during her time on the show to get into the main villa.
But after returning to the UK she sparked romance rumours with another ex Islander.
She commented on Munveer Jabbal’s Instagram post that she fancied him.
