It was the news that shocked Love Island fans: a woman said she spent the night with Frankie just hours before his emotional airport reunion with Samira.
Everyone was #confused: after all, when both cast members appeared live on Aftersun just a week ago, Mr Foster gushingly asked Ms Mighty to be his girlfriend. And she didn’t hesitate in saying YES!
That and Samira had made the pretty big decision to pack up and leave the Love Island villa to give their relationship a proper go on the outside world.
So another woman – a 26-year-old called Stephanie who is originally from Sweden – making public details of the alleged hotel hook-up was probably pretty awkward for Frankie, who is aged 22.
However, on Sunday Frankie was on TalkRADIO and he addressed the matter. He admitted that he did spend the night with Stephanie in a hotel room… but that nothing happened.
In fact, he explained, the woman was with someone else entirely.
Right so.
He described the incident on air:
“We met at a nightclub, we went out. The biggest mistake for me, and this is what me and Samira have spoken about and I had to apologise about, is that I was in the same room as those two.
“I was asleep, three beds, I went on the far left, they went on the far right at a hotel we stayed in.”
Frankie did state, however, that the whole ordeal was a “huge wake up call” that he doesn’t want to repeat. He added that he and Samira are the real deal:
“I’m going to meet Sam’s mum tonight and she’ll probably meet my family in the next few days.
“This is a real relationship. We are boyfriend and girlfriend and we are in a relationship.”
Meanwhile, Stephanie herself has spoke publicly about the alleged fling, stating in The Sun :
“I was with friends and got talking to Frankie, who was sat drinking champagne with his manager at the next table – never once did he mention this Samira girl.
“We danced and ended up taking a cab back to his hotel room in King’s Cross, there were two double beds and I said, “Who else is staying here?”‘
“He said: ‘Well, my manager is, he probably won’t stay here tonight…’ as far as the sex went, Frankie was nothing special but nothing bad.”
