Casa Amor star Boris's reality show past revealed as Love Islander boasts he ‘doesn't believe in finding love on TV'
Model Boris, 28, who is currently attempting to turn heads in the ITV2 villa, was a contestant on Kmetija (The Farm) in 2024.
The series saw contestants live and work on a farm while competing for a cash prize.
At the time, Boris said he was taking part in the show for 'a new experience' and hoped to use the prize money to travel to 'exotic destinations'.
However, in an interview ahead of filming, he expressed doubt about romance on screen.
When asked about falling in love on reality TV, Boris told 24UR: 'I don't believe in it. I don't even think about it.'
He also stated that he did not approve of nudity in front of the cameras.
During his appearance on Kmetija, Boris described himself as 'communicative' and someone who 'swears by positive energy and laughter".
He had no prior experience working on a farm or caring for animals but said he was not concerned about the challenges.
But, following his Love Island debut, those familiar with his earlier TV stint rushed to a Reddit forum.
One wrote: "I actually watched him, he was super unlikable and in this interview before the show he says that he disapproves nudity in front of cameras + he doesn't believe in love in a reality show. He also got a lot more new tattoos while in Dubai."
Another added: "I'm embarrassed for my country, sorry guys! I heard he was bragging abot going on LI a while back and I said no waaaaay…
Harrison becomes Love Island first boy to fall in Casa Amor
"Edit: I worked with him on a photoshoot once…not a thought behind those eyes."
Boris, who lives in Ljubljana, previously said he was single at the time of filming Kmetija.
In his pre-villa interview for Love Island, he vowed: "I'm gonna have to be the bad guy! That's the game.
"If I'm going in and there's someone beautiful waiting for me inside, I'm going to approach them for sure."
On who he's got his sights set on, Boris added: "I'm super attracted to Shakira, I think she's got a great personality and seems like a good girl.
"I'm sure we'd get along well and have a good time together, but I need to see in person, it's all about energy."

Chris Hughes hits back at 'gay' claims as he opens up on JoJo Siwa romance
Love Island star Chris Hughes has dished out details on his relationship with singer JoJo Siwa, addressed their age gap and hit out at rumours that their romance is fake Chris Hughes has opened up on his relationship with JoJo Siwa, revealing that the American singer gave him a "magical feeling" he hadn't experienced before. The Love Island star, 32, met JoJo, 22, on Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year. At the time, JoJo was in a relationship with 27-year-old Australian actor Kath Ebbs, who identifies as non-binary. But speculation quickly arose about Chris and JoJo, who broke up with Kath at the CBB finale party. Initially, JoJo and Chris didn't confirm their relationship but after making a number of transatlantic trips to see each other, it became obvious that they were more than friends. Chris has now spoken for the first time about their relationship, which came after he dated The Only Way Is Essex star Olivia Attwood and singer Jesy Nelson. He also had a relationship with professional golfer Annabel Dimmock but had been single since they split up in 2022. "I started to think there was no one out there for me," Chris said. He went on to explain that over the years, he had been on dates but didn't feel a spark, leading him to question himself and wonder if he had commitment issues. "Then meeting Joelle gave me this magical feeling. She is the most precious person. Life has an unexpected way of bringing two people together, and this feels like that. We were meant to cross paths. We keep saying to each other it was serendipity. Life handed me a blessing in my lap." Speaking to The Sun, Chris said he and JoJo "gravitated towards each other" while on Celeb Big Brother - but he insisted they were only friends at the beginning. However, he admitted that he began feeling "confused" about his feelings towards the end of the show and said that when JoJo flew back home to the US, she felt "upset" and he was "sad" to see her go. Chris later went to see JoJo and her family in Orlando, Florida, which he described as "the best three days of my life" - and also the time when "something fully ignited" inside of him. Chris said that was the moment he and JoJo opened up about their feelings and kissed for the first time. Gushing on JoJo, who identifies as queer, he said: "It was really special and just happened without any effort or planning. Our first kiss was genuinely special – it felt like I was in a movie. I can't keep my hands off her now! I love her skin, her eyes and her smile." He added that their age gap isn't an issue, as he confessed that although their relationship is in the early stages, he sees himself marrying the American star. The admission comes after JoJo admitted they had already discussed marriage, saying about Chris: "He is my favourite person in the world … It's beautiful, it kind of radiates. He's my favourite person and I am very grateful and very happy." Chris also addressed rumours that their relationship is fake, and said criticism doesn't bother him as long as people aren't nasty. He said: "I wouldn't go to the effort of loving someone for any other reason than it being real." He added: "I've had more people call me 'gay' in the last two months of my life than ever before. But it doesn't bother me, as long as people aren't nasty, opinions are fine." He added that while he understands he may be feminine in how he does certain things, he will not change for anybody. He cries a lot and says there's not one part of him filled with toxic masculinity, and while he says some believe crying makes you 'less of a man', he won't let himself think that and says crying is his release. Earlier this month, a source said Chris is ready to "pop the question" to JoJo. "Chris is smitten. He can't believe his luck. He and JoJo have got the most lovely thing going on here. It came from nowhere but they are so in love already – it has happened so quickly," the source claimed. "Anyone who knows Chris says that they can see him popping the question at any moment – it has been a whirlwind, a fairytale. The love is real and it is wonderful for anyone who knows Chris to see. She is besotted, too, things are moving very fast."

JoJo Siwa fans rally to send new song soaring up the charts as she reaches number 2 on iTunes after being hit by cruel backlash - as boyfriend Chris Hughes breaks silence on romance
JoJo Siwa fans have rallied to send her new song soaring up the charts this week after she was hit by cruel backlash. The singer, 22, released a cover of Kim Carnes' 1981 hit Bette Davis Eyes on Friday, which peaked at number 2 on iTunes UK Chart. Earlier this week she was hit by backlash when she pulled out of an appearance at a Chicago Pride event, with organisers saying she would no longer be performing due to a 'scheduling conflict.' The musician teased fans that she was set to release her version of Bette Davis Eyes on streaming, after changing the lyrics to make it an on-stage tribute to her boyfriend Chris. JoJo has sparked a social media frenzy since she confirmed she is dating Love Island star Chris Hughes, after they met on Celebrity Big Brother in April - he has since broke his silence on their romance. She first performed the song at a festival in May, and later admitted that Chris, who was watching in the audience, had no idea she changed the song's final line, from 'Bette Davis' Eyes,' to 'Chris Hughes' Eyes,' until the moment she sang it on stage. Sharing a clip of her in the 1930s get-up singing the track in her famous raspy vocals, she asked her followers about whether she should release the cover on Spotify. She wrote: 'After performing this song live and then seeing the beautiful response to it, I decided to go record a studio vocal…. 'I'm undecided if I should release it on Spotify or not… Would you want me to?!!! If you would, I'm thinking maybe end of this week?' Chris was quick to throw his support behind his girlfriend, commenting on her Instagram post: 'Unreal.' After finally confirming his relationship with JoJo in June, Chris broke his silence on the unexpected romance as he admitted he is 'obsessed' with the singer. It certainly wasn't a showbiz relationship anyone saw coming, and when the former Love Island star and the former Dance Moms star met, JoJo was in a relationship with her ex partner Kath Ebbs. Confirming on CBB that she identifies as queer, she has openly discussed how Chris is her first relationship with a man. And speaking to The Sun 's Fabulous Magazine, Chris hit back at accusations their relationship is fake, as he admitted: 'I've had more people call me 'gay' in the last two months of my life than ever before. But it doesn't bother me – as long as people aren't nasty, opinions are fine.' He revealed even he was surprised by the turn of events, and after a string of public relationships, he began to wonder whether there was anyone out there for him. He explained: 'Then meeting Joelle gave me this magical feeling. She is the most precious person....I'm obsessed with her. I'd do anything for her.' The star confessed the 10-year age gap doesn't phase him as you can't help who you fall in love with. And while it has only been a matter of months Chris can already see the relationship going the full way and believes it is forever. Discussing the prospect of marriage after confessing they both say 'I love you' every day, he hinted: 'I do see a forever here... I'd love to marry her. I'd be lying if I didn't tell you I run through scenarios of our wedding day.' He also revealed they both want children and he has received the seal of approval from her family after joining them on their Orlando holiday in May. Chris joined JoJo for her birthday trip alongside her parents Jessalynn and Tom and her brother Jayden and his fiancée Abby. The star is already been invited as JoJo's plus one to the family wedding next year as the couple continue to go from strength to strength, but he admitted the pair don't plan on moving in just yet and are prepared to carry on long distance. And Chris isn't the first one to mention marriage after JoJo previously admitted they had discussed putting a ring on it. And while it has only been a matter of months Chris can already see the relationship going the full way and believes it is forever as he confessed he pictures marriage Speaking to TMZ last month while enjoying dinner with pal James Charles on Wednesday, JoJo said said things between herself and Chris are 'going great.' She said: 'He is my favorite person in the world … It's beautiful, it kind of radiates. He's my favorite person and I am very grateful and very happy.' Admitting that she is missing her boyfriend, JoJo added that she 'wished he was there' with her. The star was then asked whether she had considered marriage with Chris yet, but she brushed it off by stating she has 'so many thoughts.' JoJo also revealed that she has 'never 'second guessed' what she feels for the reality star. 'Therefore, I've never second guessed my happiness, I've never second guessed what I'm feeling. And I think that's the most beautiful thing. When I think about him, I'm full of pure joy. When I speak about him, I'm full of pure joy.' Earlier this week JoJo addressed rumours she could be pregnant after one of her videos went viral on TikTok. On Wednesday, she asked her fans to play the game '2 truths & a lie' - before she read out three statements, one being a lie and the other two being truthful. She then said: '1. I've never smoked a [cigarette] 2. I'm pregnant 3. This song comes out on Spotify Friday.' JoJo was playing into online speculation that she could be expecting after Chris gently rubbed his finger over her tummy during a recent TikTok video. Fans wrote things like, 'Pregnancy craving???' as she tucked into a plate of red food. Another wrote: 'When the pregnancy craving is red 40,' and another penned, 'r u pregnant?' After JoJo shared the 'two truths and a lie' video, social media users jumped to the comments to choose which option was the lie, while others applauded JoJo for nonchalantly poking fun at the pregnancy speculation. A fan typed, 'Everyone's saying it's 1 or 3, meaning everyone thinks she's pregnant,' and another added, 'You Gonna be a Dance mom.' 'Not you addressing the pregnancy rumors in the most hilarious fashion,' one shared, and another penned, 'Joelle not u egging on the pregnant rumors. Youre too funny.' Others replied to the comment and said, 'She's brilliant smiling her way through life is the key' and 'She's doing it in style and hitting the silly rumors out of the park.'
