Love Island: Malia and Kady have EXPLOSIVE row in 2016

Malia Arkian was involved in an incident in Love Island in 2016, not long after entering the villa.

The reality star was removed from the show after getting into an altercation with contestant, Kady McDermott.

Three years on, it’s now been revealed Malia is five months pregnant with her first child with Bradford City footballer, Hope Akpan.

Hope, 27, who has previously played for Reading, Blackburn Rovers and Hull City, has shared pictures of Malia cradling her baby bump on Instagram.

The couple are expecting a baby girl together, according to MailOnline.

Their exciting announcements comes after Malia hit the headlines again after Kady brought up their altercation from 2016.

The two were locked in a row about Kady’s love interest, Scott Thomas, just moments after Malia entered the villa.

Sitting down at the fire pit, Kady’s wine spilled on to Malia’s leg in an unfortunate accident.

Malia believed the spillage was deliberate and exclaimed: “If you wanna speak to me, just come in there. You don't do that with me, not at all.”

Kady then stood up and went over to the newcomer and shouted: “I swear to God, if you want to get rowdy… that's a f*****g joke.

“Do you honestly think I'd waste my wine over you? It was a f*****g accident.”

Malia hit back: “Shut up you b***h. Who the f**k do you think you are?”

“Next thing you know she’s full on shoved me,” Kady said in the Beach Hut at the time.

Viewers weren’t able to see what actually happened between the pair, with the scene showing security rushing over to intervene.

Last night, Kady took to Twitter to make further claims about the extent of the attack.

Kady claimed: "She punched me in the nose after and gave me a nose bleed but they didn’t show it as too graphic.”

She added: “Sassy little Kady weren’t I meow.”

Love Island contestant from the same year, Olivia Buckland, said: “Omg Kady this moment what the f even. I’ll never cope.”(sic)

“0-100 real quick,” Kady replied.

Love Island continues tonight on ITV2 at 9pm.
