Former Love Island bombshell Josh Samuel Le Grove has revealed the real reason why he friend-zoned Danica Taylor days after being picked to return to the main villa as a couple.
Entering the reality TV show during Casa Amor, Josh set his sights on dancer Danica Taylor, who’d previously been unlucky finding love in the villa.
The pair appeared to have a genuine connection during Casa Amor, so it was no surprise when Danica chose to couple up with the model.

But their romance was short-lived, as Josh called things off, claiming he misjudged the spark between the pair.
Josh appeared on Will Njobvu’s YouTube podcast alongside Coco Lodge, who he was dumped with as least favourite boy and girl on Friday 15th July.
During his chat with Will, Josh provided clarity on his situation with Danica: “In there you’re taking intimacy out of the equation, so you need to be able to chill with that person and not get bored.”
“I didn’t get bored, but I felt like I was clashing a little bit, and I was getting the ick a little bit,” he confessed.
When asked if he used Danica as a ticket to the main villa, Josh replied: “No, I’ve been asked that question a lot, if you speak to any of the Casa boys they’ll tell you that. I said ‘if I get in, I get in, if I don’t, I don’t’.”
He continued: “Nothing bad, just certain bits… listen, she’s a beautiful girl.”
But presenter Will insisted on uncovering Josh’s true thoughts: “What did she do to give you the ick? Don’t try to backtrack!”
Josh then revealed it was “certain immature bits” that pushed him to call it quits on the coupling.
“Maybe just too much energy for me right then. I thought ‘this isn’t going to work for me on the outside, so I’m looking for something that’s gonna work on the outside.'”
Danica had chosen Josh after forming a connection during Casa Amor and had previously failed at a romance with Jay Younger and Luca Bish.

Since Josh’s departure from the island, Danica had been cracking on with another bombshell, Billy Brown, but was left in tears when Billy chose to kiss Gemma Owen and marry Paige Thorne during the Snog Marry Pie challenge, snubbing her completely.
In tears, she said: “Why don’t I deserve that? I don’t understand.”
“Not one person genuinely wants to get to know me romantically, I don’t understand,” she said on Tuesday’s (19th July) episode.
After being saved by the boys during another dumping on Wednesday (20th July), fans are hoping one of the two new bombshells will take an interest in Danica, finally giving her a chance at finding love.
Josh and Coco’s appearance on Reality with Will Njobvu will be released on YouTube on Friday
