But his time on the ITV2 show was short-lived as the social media marketer was dumped after just five days.
For a minute, it appeared he'd struck up a romance with Amber Wise, 19, after returning home to the UK.
But their fling soon called off and he was later linked with an OnlyFans model named Em Leah.
That has seemingly ended now, too, as Kodie's latest social media activity suggests he's single and set for a show comeback.
Taking to TikTok yesterday, the Birmingham-native posted a video of himself taking a mock call from inside an airport.
Layering the footage against Nokia by Drake, he wrote: "POV: Love Island made the call again."
With Series 12 set to launch on June 2, his cheeky post has delighted fans.
One commented: "PLEASE," while another gushed: "HES BACKKKK!!!!" and a third joked: "someone get me a passport I'm going out to get my man."
But Kodie's time on the show wasn't without controversy.
Just days before his exit, Kodie became embroiled in a bullying row after being accused of homophobic abuse.

One former school pupil wasn't happy at seeing the familiar face enter the villa.
Sharing Love Island's introduction to Kodie, they wrote on Twitter: "What a way to end pride month, a boy who I went secondary school with who bullied me for being gay is put on love island."
One user commented: "Oh my god that's awful."
Another said: "I second this. I've seen it happen from Kodie."
A third posted: "Is this true? That's not nice, hopefully he has grown since then. Teenagers can be something else."
Love Island representatives declined to comment at the time.
Kodie has remained off TV since then, making a living as an OnlyFans creator instead.

Love Island fans call for Islander to leave villa after 'wild' comment
Love Island 2025 contestant Harry Cooksley got on the bad side of viewers this week on the ITV2 series, so much so several fans wanted him to leave the villa after his latest actions One Love Island star could be set for a looming exit from the villa if fans have their way. Harry Cooksley faces calls to be dumped from the show after his "player" actions during the latest episode. Not only did he lie to current partner Shakira about a televised moment, but a "naughty" comment he made to Helena was also picked up on. Earlier in the episode, Harry snuck off with Helena to the Hideaway and they joked about heading back there in secret when everyone was asleep. Harry ended up telling Shakira all about his flirting with their co-star, but he didn't exactly admit to all that went on. Then when it came to a game of dares, Harry gave Helena a lap dance. It's what he said during this and then did after that sparked annoyance with fans, but also Shakira. Harry was heard whispering the word "Hideaway" into Helena's ear, while Shakira was sat right there. She watched them awkwardly as he made the remark, clearly hoping to head to the private room later. Then as the 'dance' came to an end, he sat down and put his hand on Shakira's leg, as well as Helena's leg. When Shakira learned about this she wasn't happy and called him out. He denied the recorded moment had happened before asking Helena about it. He'd also made it seem as though Helena was doing all the flirting. Viewers tuning in were left infuriated with many calling for Harry to leave the show. Others spoke about his "wild" comment to Helena while Shakira was in earshot. One fan posted on X: "Is nobody going to talk about how Harry literally lied to Shakira's face, saying Helena stuck it on him when he did the exact same. And whispering 'hideaway' to Helena in the game. GET HIM OUTTT!!" Another fan agreed: "Get Harry out my villa." A third viewer posted: "I just need all the men out of the villa right now," as a fourth fan posted: "I need Harry, Helena, Ben, Blu and Meg all dumped." Other viewers commented on the comment, with one saying: "Harry whispering 'Hideaway' in front of Shakira was wild and so weird," as another said: "He did NOT just whisper hideaway to Helena when Shakira's right next to them." A further comment read: "WoooooW whispering hideaway is naughty." It comes as viewers confessed they think they already know which former Love Island star is set to enter the famous second villa, Casa Amor. Sophie Lee was axed from the show on Tuesday night in a brutal dumping, after her partner Harry was stolen by Shakira. Sophie's exit left fans stunned with many gutted to see her go so early on. But some viewers are now convinced her time on the show isn't over. With a recent series seeing a dumped girl return to the villa for Casa Amor, viewers are now speculating Sophie will be back on the show in a matter of weeks, as a bombshell in the second villa. Taking to X, fans guessed the twist would happen with one fan writing: "I reckon Sophie will re-enter the villa as a bombshell by the end of next week at the latest or she will re-enter in Casa Amor." Another said: "Dw Sophie you'll be back in 4 weeks for Casa Amor." A third viewer begged: "Nah bring Sophie back for Casa Amor she deserves a chance." A fourth fan agreed: "Bring her back for casa amor!!" as a fifth viewer posted: "Gutted for her and bring back Sophie as a bombshell or Casa Amor." The comments kept on coming with one reading: "They better bring Sophie back as a Casa bombshell. Justice for Sophie." Another said: "BRING SOPHIE BACK FOR CASA AMOR!"

Singer and TikTok star Addison Rae changes her stage name
Addison Rae is now going by a new stage name. The singer and TikTok star, who just released her self-titled debut album on June 6, has dropped the name 'Rae' from her professional moniker and is now known simply as Addison. 'I said it in an interview, I was just like, 'Oh, I think I've grown past being called Addison Rae,'' Addison told host Quenlin Blackwell during a June 8 appearance on Blackwell's 'Feeding Starving Celebrities' YouTube series. 'Then the album being named 'Addison' kind of was a tie-in for that,' she added. The 'Diet Pepsi' singer, 24, said there is also a more practical reason behind her decision. 'I just am tired of also signing Addison Rae. It's really long. I just would rather sign Addison,' she said, laughing. 'And then I was like, 'Yeah, it just makes more sense because, like, it's going back to the roots really.'' Still, Addison, who was born Addison Rae Easterling, said she won't be upset if longtime friends and fans still think of her as Addison Rae. 'Whoever knows me as Addison Rae and knew me as Addison Rae will always know me as that,' she said. Addison joins a growing list of celebrities who have opted to tweak their professional names during the past year. Just last month, Angelina Jolie's 19-year-old daughter Shiloh Jolie — who'd already dropped her father Brad Pitt's surname from her own in 2024 — choreographed an original dance piece under the name Shi Joli. Former 'Teen Mom 2' star Kailyn Lowry's 15-year-old son, who was formerly known as Isaac Elliott Rivera, announced last week on his mom's 'Barely Famous' podcast that he was now going by his middle name, Elliott. Meanwhile, Malia Obama, the 27-year-old daughter of former President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama, has been using the professional name Malia Ann as a writer and director in Hollywood. Michelle Obama opened up about her older daughter dropping the Obama name professionally when she recently appeared on Kate and Oliver Hudson's 'Sibling Revelry' podcast. The former first lady said it was natural for young adults — especially those from famous families — to want to 'push away' from their family name at some point. 'You're trying to distinguish yourself,' she explained, adding, 'It is very important for my kids to feel like they've earned what they are getting in the world, and they don't want people to assume that they don't work hard, that they're just naturally handed things,' she added. ' 'They're very sensitive to that. They want to be their own people.' 'Malia, who started in film, and it being her first project, she took off her last name, and we were like, 'They're still going to know it's you, Malia,'' she added with a laugh. 'But we respected the fact that she's trying to make her way.'

Scots teacher sacked after pupils found OnlyFans account says subscribers skyrocketed after scandal broke
She revealed hundreds of new fans have flocked to her X-rated page BOOMING & BUST Scots teacher sacked after pupils found OnlyFans account says subscribers skyrocketed after scandal broke A PHYSICS miss struck off for selling racy pictures insisted there are other Scots teachers on OnlyFans. Kirsty Buchan, 34, claimed parents would be 'surprised' by how many classroom staff are anonymously flogging naked snaps online. 2 Kirsty worked as a Physics teacher at Bannerman High School in Baillieston, Glasgow Credit: Facebook 2 She told how her 14-year-old son Nathan fully supports her Credit: Kirsty Buchan And she revealed hundreds of new fans have flocked to her X-rated page after she was removed from the teaching register by regulators on Monday. Mum Kirsty, of Coatbridge, said: 'I've noticed a boost in my subscribers, a couple hundred more. 'It's crazy. You'd be surprised at how many teachers are doing it. 'I'm only known because I've got the balls — or rather the boobs — to do what I do and own up to it. 'A lot of people do it with a mask on to remain anonymous. 'There's teachers doing OnlyFans just the same way there's teachers drinking and taking drugs.' Kirsty's sexy sideline was exposed in December 2022 when a link to her 'Jessica Jackrabbit' profile on the adult subscription site was shared with schoolkids. It led to complaints and her resignation from Bannerman High in Baillieston, Glasgow. Now the General Teaching Council for Scotland has ruled she 'used her profession as a selling tool' — while her old school was regarded as 'synonymous with having an OnlyFans teacher'. ONLY STARS ON IT AS WELL CELEBRITIES have also turned to Only Fans to boost their former Olympic skater Elise Christie, 34, set up an account after retiring. The Foundations singer Kate Nash, 37, posts pictures of her bottom to support touring costs. Singer and actress Lily Allen, 40, flogs photos of her feet and says it makes her more cash than Spotify. Kurts Adams Rozentals, 22, an Olympic hopeful canoeist, posts content to help with training costs. Kirsty today appeared on Good Morning Britain and revealed she is still backed by former pupils and teacher pals. Teacher and OnlyFans star fired after students discovered she filmed herself having sex in classroom speaks out She told presenter Susanna Reid: 'I've had messages from all my old colleagues, and all the school kids still support me to this day. I've still got that bond with them.' And she stressed son Nathan, 14, fully supports her work. She revealed: 'I asked him what he'd do if anyone he knew saw me naked and made a comment to him. He said he'd say, 'shut up or I'll hit you with my wallet'.' The GTCS said it did not comment on individual cases.
