I highly doubt she wouldn't have been aware of what he did when she was with him, before Love Island. What is it with these reality stars seeking out criminals for partners?!
Someone mentioned about other TOWIE members, Michael Hassini was involved in a boiler room scam and I think Dan Edgar defrauded people through a supposed diamond investment. I take a particular interest as I work investigating financial crime. What I don't understand is why ITV will still have these people on, but if they're caught with drugs it's a straight suspension. Personally I would have no involvement with scum like this, robbing someone's life savings is almost the lowest of the low, it's always vulnerable people they target.
Unfortunately white collar criminals rarely get the punishment they deserve and often end up doing it again. I'm glad he got a custodial sentence but still doesn't seem enough.
Also as a final point to my rant , Cheska from Love Island a couple of years ago had a fraudulent FX trading account on Instagram called CheskaFX that mysteriously disappeared when she went in the villa. I recognised her instantly on the show as she's very striking and beautiful and had been looking at these accounts myself through my work. Interesting read on these kind of accounts that are still being peddled by z list tramps
