She added in a promo for the show: “I thought it was love at first sight – until my manager reminded me of his wife and kids. Doesn’t mean I don’t drunk-call him most weekends.”
Asked about the claims by The Sun before she headed into the villa Chloe said she “dumped” the bloke on the spot when she found out he was married.
She insisted: “I didn’t have an affair – it’s been taken out of context.
“I met someone at work and obviously really got in my feels about them, I thought they were absolutely fantastic.
“Then I found out he was married and had kids. Obviously I was like: ‘What the F…?’ Then I dumped him because I was like: ‘What the hell?'”
Chloe added: “It was not like: ‘Yeah, give me a married man.’ Absolutely not. I don’t want a married man.
“I don’t want anyone with a boyfriend, I don’t want a boy who fancies someone else.”
Challenged over her claim she rings her married ex most weekends – even after finding out he was married – Chloe said: “Not most weekends” before adding: “He didn’t answer.”
She explained that she didn’t let the bloke know she was going into Love Island saying: “I didn’t tell anyone, but I wouldn’t tell him anyway.”
And she insisted that girls should trust her around their men saying: “There is a girl code. If they’re coupled up, they’re coupled up for a reason.
“Why would I think I could slide in? Boys are all over a girl – that would put me off them.
“I don’t know if that’s the same for everyone – but I wouldn’t want to see that.”
