Love Island star Ouzy See says he's thrilled to be back playing football because he was 'getting fat' after quitting to go into the villa
Ouzy See has opened up about returning to play football for Edinburgh City, after quitting the team two years ago to go on Love Island. The 30-year-old went into villa as a Casa Amor bombshell in 2023, where he sparked a romance with Kady McDermott, and lasted almost three weeks. He decided to put his footballing career on hold to enter the show, after joining Edinburgh City in 2020 and spending four years at Meadowbank. After taking a break to jet off to Mallorca, he seemingly left the team, referring to himself as being 'unemployed' in April last year. While his exit was never officially confirmed by the club, he shared a snap of himself decked out in the club's colours, with the caption: 'think I'm technically unemployed'.

However, after months without a team, the model finally rejoined the Scottish club in November and has gushed over how thrilled he is to be back. While insisting he had no regrets about going on Love Island, Ouzy claimed he had been 'getting fat' without training. Speaking to The Sun, he said: 'I'm glad I took the risk and did it. These opportunities don't come up too often in your life. It changed my life in a way and the gaffer here, Michael McIndoe, was very understanding about it. 'But now I'm back and I am more committed to football rather than living the model lifestyle. I'm trying hard to commit everything to football right now. 'I'm enjoying it again and it feels good to be back in the routine here again. It feels good to be playing and training properly because I was getting fat!' Ouzy and Kady announced their split soon after being dumped, with Ouzy admitting that 'he was in the wrong' amid a flurry of cheating rumours. Kady made a cryptic dig about his 'bad behaviour' in a breakup statement, after reports that Ouzy met up with a stunning brunette influencer named Alicia, who he knew before Love Island, shortly after landing back in the UK. In a statement on Instagram, she wrote: 'Sadly late last night Ouzy's behaviour and actions from the 30th July were bought to my attention. Kady made a cryptic dig about his 'bad behaviour' in a breakup statement, after reports that Ouzy met up with a stunning brunette influencer named Alicia , who he knew before Love Island, shortly after landing back in the UK 'Ouzy is one of the loveliest people I have met and I know he is remorseful but unfortunately actions have consequences and although we are not 'official' in our relationship status I am definitely not prepared to start a relationship off on this foot. 'I wish him nothing but happiness and success in his life. Thank you for the continued support by so many of you, I'd like to focus on the many positives and move on with my life now.' Ouzy responded on his Story shortly afterwards as he penned: 'Just wanted to say what's happened with me and Kady had NOTHING to do with her or any false rumours that have been flying about, it's because of my actions that things have ended not Kady's. 'I have apologised to her already, she's an amazing girl with an amazing family and doesn't deserve any of the negative messages she has received this morning.' It comes after Love Island confirmed the full line-up of contestants joining the upcoming twelfth series on Wednesday. After joining the popular dating series in January 2023, Maya Jama will once again be at the helm when the ITV2 show returns on June 9. And there looks set to be the usual mix of love triangles, bedroom trysts and messy breakups as contestants make their way to the island. This year's crop of hopefuls include a Declan Rice body double, firebreather and Maura Higgins lookalike, as well as yet another footballer. Dejon Noel-Williams, who plays football semi-professionally alongside his job as a personal trainer, is also the son of a former Premier League striker. His dad is ex-Watford and Stoke striker Gifton, who 45, began his professional football career in 1996 when he joined Watford and last played for Codicote in 2017 before retiring. Dejon revealed that he 'met all kinds of famous people' because of his footballing father and even remarked on a meeting with David Beckham. He said: 'When I was younger it was weird because he was just my dad, but we'd go to a game and fans were asking for photos. I've met David Beckham, he was really nice.' Dejon, from London, boasts 11,000 followers on social media thanks in part to his regular shirtless gym snaps. His bio reads: 'I go beyond the gym -helping you build Strength, Confidence & Discipline for life.' In 2021, he represented the Grenada national football team. Dejon is not the only footballing connection in the upcoming series. Indeed, fans of the lower leagues may have spotted a star dubbed 'The Surrey Zidane'. Harry Cooksley, 29, is a midfielder for Southern League Premier South side Farnham Town. As well as his talent on the field, Harry also works as a gold trader and model. But more interestingly, his pastimes include being a body double for Declan Rice. He explained: 'So when he does a shoot, any body close ups will actually be me. You'll never see my face, but you'll see my shoulder or chest, that kind of thing.' NAME: Sophie Lee AGE: 29 FROM: Manchester OCCUPATION: Motivational Speaker and Author WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?

Ouzy appeared on Love Island in 2023 and struck up a romance with Kady McDermott - before they went their separate ways. The footballer, 30, is said to have been 'blindsided' by Sophie's, 29, signing to the show because of their 'unfinished business'. A friend reportedly told The Sun: 'Ouzy was really shocked and blindsided to see Sophie had signed up for Love Island. 'He was gutted because he feels like there is still unfinished business between the two of them. While they aren't dating anymore, he thinks she's an amazing girl and they ended on good terms. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'It's weird for anyone though knowing your ex is about to go on Love Island and could fall for someone else on TV.' MailOnline has contacted Ouzy for comment. The former couple made a join appearance at the Beauty Awards in 2023, where the spoke about their budding romance. He told the publication on the red carpet: 'It's going really well. She's inspirational. We've been dating for a few months.' Sophie chimed: 'He's really kind, that's my favourite thing about him.' The stunning British influencer almost lost her life in a horrifying fire-breathing accident. Sophie will fly to the picturesque Spanish island for Love Island's twelfth series following a brush with death when she was 22. Sophie had been working as a firebreather for 18-months before she suffered horrific burns to her face and chest during a freak accident in the United States. She was performing at a huge event in Chicago when the venue's air conditioning blew flames she was expelling from her mouth back into her face, leaving her with serious, life-threatening burns. Sophie has since turned to modelling and influencing and has even written a book about her experience. She also works with Katie Piper 's foundation, which supports people living with burns and scars. The new series will kick off on Monday 9th June, one week later than previous years. The last season of the ITV dating programme - which was the second All Stars version - ended in February, and saw Gabby Allen and Casey O'Gorman crowned champions, before their split earlier this month. Fans will be happy to know that it's not long before they will get their Love Island fix. A post shared on ITV's social media featured a snap unveiling the return date, along with the caption: 'Mark your calendar, you're invited to this year's hottest meeting... 'Agenda: Initial coupling, strategic navigation of red flags, and identification of potential long-term partnerships.' The first trailer for the new series was released on Monday, and showed host Maya Jama in a meeting with Love Island bosses, in the hope of making the show's 10th Anniversary series its most explosive yet. Maya - who starting hosting the show in 2023 - is seen in a boardroom called Love Island HQ and says: 'Right, this year Love Island needs something bigger, something bolder. I want ideas.' One person asks: 'Move it to the Isle of Wight?' Another asks: 'What if we turn it into musical?' leading Maya to sassily question the move with 'Why?' Another says in Japanese: 'Love Island, on ice?' to which Maya replies: 'Never!' Unhappy with all the suggestions, Maya pushes the paper off her desk and shouts: 'No!' She adds: 'This year I want more drama, more bombshells, more break-ups, more make-ups. I want more twists. I want more twists than ever.'
