The British public had the power to choose the first pairings of the season and they decided to put Jake with his ex-girlfriend Liberty Poole. Despite public and a show boss’ wishes to see the two rekindle their romance, Jake made it clear he has closed the door on that chapter.
Love Island’s Jake Cornish ‘forced’ to share a bed with Liberty Poole
Imagine you’re back on your hunt for love and the first person you cross paths with is your ex with whom you share a messy history. Yikes! That’s what happened with Jake Cornish on Love Island All Stars.
The 27-year-old former Water engineer entered the villa and the first person he saw was Liberty. And thanks to the notorious British public, Liberty was also the first person whom Jake shared a bed with on his first night. After his dramatic exit from the villa, Jake has shared the details of the night he shared a bed with Liberty.
The reality TV said he wasn’t ‘happy’ with pairing and felt very ‘awkward’ sharing a bed with her. He told The Sun:
I didn't like sharing a bed, it felt weird, it felt awkward.
Insisting the ‘ship has sailed’ for the two, Jake shared that it was ‘pointless’ to pair them together.
Just to ensure he doesn’t send ‘any’ signals to anyone, Jake revealed that he slept in his tracksuit and on his left arm the entire night. He explained:
That's why I went to bed with a tracksuit on and my left arm was dead for two or three nights because I slept on my left side the whole time.
I've never shared a bed with my ex. I didn’t want to give off any signs or anything.
Love Island’s Liberty Poole tried to ‘villainise’ him in the villa
This comes after Jake confessed he doesn’t have the ‘highest opinion’ of Liberty who had a ‘gameplan’ to make him look like a villain, reports The Tab. He explained that while she said things like ‘he gives me the ick’ on one hand, on the other, she said ‘I feel like you’re ignoring me,’ which made him think she hasn’t really matured in the last few years. Jake said:
That was the first conversation we had, and I just think, if you’ve matured, and we’ve got no bad blood, you’d have a conversation about ‘how are you getting on’, and hope you’re okay and stuff. Whereas hers was, ‘I feel like you’re ignoring me’.
He added:
I felt like it was a bit sour. Like, oh here he is. Let’s go at him again. In reality, I’ve grown up, I’ve matured in two years.
