‘Mentally I’m not as happy’: Love Island’s Siannise Fudge admits she misses her ‘content’ pre-fame life and says ‘if I could turn back the clock I would make a different decision’
Siannise Fudge has hinted she wishes she had never agreed to participate in Love Island, because she was more ‘content’ prior to finding fame.
The reality star, 26, who appeared on the winter series of the ITV2 dating show in January 2020, declared she’s ‘mentally not as happy’ in a candid Instagram question and answer session on Sunday.
The Love Island personality said ‘if I could turn back the clock I would make a different decision’ when one fan queried whether she ‘missed her old life’.

During the Q&A, the Bristolian beauty asked her followers to make an assumption about her for her to respond to.
One wrote: ‘You miss your old life before all the fame from Love Island.’
Siannise replied: ‘True. I was very content and happy in my life before Love Island and I feel like mentally I’m not as happy.
‘If I could turn back the clock I think I would have made a different decision – and I don’t mean to sound ungrateful! Mental health and happiness comes first for me always.’

Several fans then pointed out to Siannise she wouldn’t have met footballer boyfriend Luke Trotman, 23, if it wasn’t for the reality show.
Siannise acknowledged her beau was ‘the only great thing’ to have happened as a result of her being on the series.
Responding to her fans, she said: ‘Everyone is saying this. He was the only great thing to come out of it for me! Just wanted to clear that up. If I could have met him another way I would have.’
In a third post, Siannise assured her followers she’s doing okay after they flooded her with concerned messages.
She wrote: ‘I’m receiving such lush messages from you all! I am absolutely fine, just been feeling a bit burnt out the past few days.

‘I always like to keep it real on here and not fool you into thinking I have the perfect life and that I’m happy all the time.
‘I’m only human, I have my days! This third lockdown hasn’t helped either, I’m finding it difficult. But I’ll be back stronger.’
Siannise met Luke during Love Island’s first-ever winter series, after jetting off to the villa in South Africa last January.
After coupling up early on, the smitten pair went on to come in second place in the competition, narrowly losing out to Paige Turley and Finn Tapp.
The pair, who recently moved into their own flat in London, revealed they have welcomed a new addition into their home – a cockapoo called Nala.
