Love Island's Liberty Poole issues stark warning after uncomfortable moment with tradesman while alone in her house
LIBERTY Poole has sent out a stark warning to fans after a tradesman called out to her house was inappropriate towards her. The 25-year-old posted a video on TikTok, explaining that she had been forced to call pest control after dealing with ants in her home. 6 6 However, she noted that women need to 'be careful and trust their gut' as she went on to detail the man's comments towards her, leaving her uncomfortable in her own home. She told her followers: 'So on the way out – I was on my own because my boyfriend got a doctor's appointment today, so he's not in the house – he [the tradesman] was saying things to me like, 'do you live on this house on your own? How much is this house worth? What do you do?' 'Like, really inappropriate questions off the bat, which I thought was a bit awkward.' However, Liberty added she 'drew the line' when he got more personal. 'It was me and this guy in the house, and I was like, paying him at the time so he could just get out my house and leave, please go, just trying to be amicable. 'And then he asked this really inappropriate question. Was basically like, 'what do you use for your boobs so I can get it to my wife?' 'After that, I drew the line. I was like, this isn't an appropriate question. Please leave the house. Please leave.' Liberty added that she contacted the company, who suspended the man in question, but was left shaken as it reminded her of another time when a man followed her when she went to collect a parcel. 'I should have trusted my gut and asked the security guard to walk me to the car, but I didn't,' she said. 'I just like, left it. I'm walking to the car, which is quite far down this road, this dark road. 'It's like 10pm at night, the car comes around the corner, follows me all the way, knowing that I didn't want the attention, knowing that I got help because of the way he was being, still followed me, and I just had this adrenaline kick in. Love Island star breaks down in tears and admits she's lonely and can't make friends 'I just was like, leave me alone. Like, I actually think I swore as well, it's not likely, but like, my adrenaline just kicked in at this point because I didn't know what to do. 'After that, I sat in my car, and there was this bunch of guys that come after he left, and like, just kind of stared at me from in there, in the car, and I was so shook up, but all I could do was go home to an empty flat and an empty house on my own, because, again, it's like my family live abroad. I can tell them, but they can't do anything about it.' As she spoke, the message about her read: 'Please be careful. Vet companies properly and trust your gut. This is a post to bring awareness to support groups you can call if you're a young girl living on your own.' Fans were quick to flood Liberty with support, with women sharing their own uncomfortable interactions with tradesmen when living by themselves. 6 6 'Sick of this happening to women all over and in every and any environment. It's so sad and shouldn't be happening,' wrote one. 'Had super similar in a taxi when I was drunk on the way home, he refused to drop me off before my SOBER friend then when alone asked me super inappropriate questions, I was so scared,' said another. 'I had a scare with a tradesman recently,' noted a third. 'It's really scary realising how vulnerable you actually are, in your own home alone with a bigger and stronger man who might not have good intentions.' 'I'm so sorry you went through that. No one should have to take preventative measures to be safe especially in their own home,' wrote a fourth. 'You truly cannot trust anyone. Sounds like he was trying to figure out if you'd be alone for long. Hope you're okay babe.' 'I'm so sorry this happened to you, this shouldn't happen to ANYONE. Hopefully this gets resolved but it shouldn't be a thing in the first place,' wrote a fifth. 'Everyone should be able to have a service done without being persecuted or being made to feel unsafe especially in your own home.' 6 6

Love Island star Liberty Poole proudly flaunts her curves in pink bikini and insists 'stretch marks and cellulite are normal' in body positive message as fans call her 'the role model we need'
Liberty Poole showcased her enviable curves on Tuesday, as she posed in a hot pink bikini to make an inspiring body positive message. The Love Island alum, 25, took to her Instagram to share a sizzling video of her heading to a swimming pool in a bold two-piece that displayed her incredible figure. Despite looking as radiant as ever, she candidly shared her innermost insecurities in the clip, writing over the top about how she felt that her body wasn't 'summer ready' and didn't 'fit the beauty standards'. Liberty took to opportunity to then share a powerful message about self-love, as she insisted that 'all bodies are swimsuit bodies' and urged her followers to 'love the skin you're in'. The start of the video was captioned: 'Negative Thoughts: Everyone is judging how I look right now. My body isn't summer ready. 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. 'I can't wear a swimsuit until I lose weight. I need to hide my cellulite and rolls because they don't fit the beauty standards.' But proudly smiling at the camera and relaxing in the sunshine, she then changed the writing on the clip to read: 'Reality: All bodies are swimsuit bodies confidence is the best thing you can wear. 'Stretch marks and cellulite are normal and don't make you less worthy. No one is paying as much attention to your body as you think live your life for you. You deserve to feel the sun on your skin just as you are.' In the caption, the reality star added: 'Reminder that your different body types are all going to look beautiful in your bikinis this summer enjoy yourself and love the skin your in [sic]'. Liberty was flooded with likes and praise by her followers, who lauded her as a 'beautiful role model for young girls'. They took to the comments to write: 'STUNNING! in any shape or size! Love you for this ❤️❤️'; 'Amazing !! A role model I want my daughter seeing as she grows xx'. 'Now this is the sort of role model we need'; 'You have a beautiful figure! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise! Girl power I love it x.' 'Love that you're not letting the negativity hold you back.. you're stunning! A beautiful role model for young girls x'. 'You are beautiful as you are, we are not made to be perfect or even near. We should embrace ourselves as we are ❤️'. In the caption, the reality star added: 'Reminder that your different body types are all going to look beautiful in your bikinis this summer enjoy yourself and love the skin your in [sic]' 'Yes girl!!! It's something we have to constantly remind ourselves of in order to break past that wall of conditioning! To all my babes, skinny, curvy, short, tall, round, square, pear shaped; YOURE BEAUTIFUL!' While her famous pals also heaped praise on the star, with EastEnders actress Danielle Harold, Geordie Shore's Marnie Simpson and fellow Love Islander Cally Jane Beech showing their support. While singer Rebecca Ferguson gushed: 'You look fab ❤️' and Love Island star Chloe Crowhurst added: 'You look amazing x'. It comes after Liberty was forced to hit back at vile online trolls earlier this month after she was cruelly body-shamed. She clapped back with another stunning bikini-clad snap from her sun-soaked holiday in Mexico, taking to the caption to send a candid message to her trolls. Killing them with kindness, Liberty wrote in her blunt statement: 'Just wanted to respond to the recent body shaming on social media by being happy and positive and sending the message that every body is a beach body.' She continued: 'And have fun on your holidays because no one's gonna remember what your body once looked like in years or even days to come x.' Meanwhile earlier on TikTok, Liberty shared a clip recording herself standing sideways in front of a mirror to show off her physique. Liberty was flooded with likes and praise by her followers, who lauded her as a 'beautiful role model for young girls' During the video her boyfriend Joshua Raybould was seen playfully giving her a pat on the bum as they both laughed. She captioned the clip: 'This is my normal size 10-12 body. Yes I don't have a super flat stomach but it doesn't matter.' 'Everybody is different, I've always been a bit curvier and I shouldn't be body shamed for it.' It was made as a response to a cruel troll commenting below another of her videos, telling her: 'Get the portion control under control.' Liberty has said she wanted to use her reality TV platform to promote a body positive message after suffering from insecurities herself. She told Closer: 'I remember going on Instagram when I was around 14 and seeing all these stunning girls who looked perfect, and even then as a young girl I never felt beautiful enough. 'I always wanted to improve myself in some way and I think that followed me throughout my teens. I remember looking in the mirror, thinking, "My nose is so big", and I never used to feel as pretty as these girls on social media. 'That toxic habit worsened when I got cheated on, so now I feel so passionate about it because I never want a girl to come on to my page and feel bad about themselves.' The Birmingham native rose to fame on the 2021 edition of Love Island where she famously split up with her on-screen partner, Jake Cornish, just days ahead of the final. She returned to try her luck in the 2024 All Stars edition of the show but was sadly once again unsuccessful.

Love Island star finally confirms feud with villa pal after months of rumours with telltale comment
LOVE Island star Liberty Poole appears to have finally confirmed her feud with her former villa bestie Kaz Kamwi. Liberty and Kaz were famously best mates following their two stints together in the villa before appearing to drop off each other's radar. 5 5 The girls had been on holiday together and even recorded their own podcast called Kaz & Lib. But shortly after Liberty and Kaz returned to the villa for spin-off show Love Island All Stars last year, they noticeably started snubbing each other online. Liberty, 25, has now seemingly admitted she no longer considers 30-year-old Kaz as a friend during a Q&A with fans. The reality star was asked by a follower on on TikTok: "Are you still friends with Kaz?" But rather than reply with a firm "yes", Liberty rather tellingly replied: "I will always have love for Kaz x." Liberty repeated herself with the identical response when someone else questioned: "Are you still friends with Kaz cause makes me sad don't see use together, I love the friendship use had [SIC]." She again replied: "I will always have love for Kaz x." In March, Kaz recorded a video for her own TikTok in which she spoke about why she had cut certain people out of her life. The reality star captioned the video: "Why aren't you friends with them anymore?" Love Island star Kaz confirms feud with former best friend and co-star as she takes swipe in savage TikTok Wearing a burgundy mini dress, she filmed a clip of herself miming to lyrics from track Bhad Bhabie by Ms. Whitman. "You dumb enough to think I'd tell you anything. I wouldn't tell you want colour socks I've got on," Kaz mimed. Kaz's fans were quick to speculate that the video was a direct swipe at Liberty. One commented on the TikTok: "Everyone is saying it's about Liberty." A second posted: "I was wondering why you two were never together no more." Other followers simply posted a Statue of Liberty emoji, hinting it's about her former Brummie pal. The girls first sparked rumours of a rift in April 2024. Fans had quickly noticed Liberty had deleted the link to their podcast show from her Instagram bio without explanation. She also shared a glam snap to her Instagram Story, writing: "For all the nice girls out there keep being you [heart emoji] nice doesn't mean boring it's just having morals while still being a boss love you." Liberty was later asked why she was never seen out with her Love Island pals - including Kaz - and she brushed it off, saying: "It's just every time events come up I've had a family thing, or I've been away or been with my friends from home. "They've had big things going on in their lives, obviously you guys know me, I always like to be there to support the people that mean the most to me. That's literally all it is." However, Liberty's response did not quash the whispers and rumours have continued to spread ever since. 5 5

Liberty Poole flaunts her curves in black bikini on her Mexico getaway as she hits back at vile trolls by declaring 'every body is a beach body'
Liberty Poole slammed cruel online trolls in her most recent bikini-clad Instagram post after she was body-shamed. The Love Island star, 25, looked nothing short of sensational as she posed in a black bikini and matching Reebok cap amid her sun-soaked holiday in Mexico. In the caption, the reality star - who often advocates for body positivity on her social platforms - caught the occasion to send a candid message to her trolls. Killing them with kindness, Liberty wrote in her blunt statement: 'Just wanted to respond to the recent body shaming on social media by being happy and positive and sending the message that every body is a beach body She continued: 'And have fun on your holidays because no one's gonna remember what your body once looked like in years or even days to come x.' Fans praised the TV favourite for being authentic, and showered her with compliments in the comment section, penning: 'Myyyy favourite body ever ❤️❤️'; So beautiful & so true ❤️'; Beautiful ❤️'; So gorgeous'. Meanwhile earlier on TikTok, Liberty shared a clip recording herself standing sideways in front of a mirror to show off her physique. During the video her boyfriend Joshua Raybould was seen playfully giving her a pat on the bum as they both laughed. She captioned the clip: 'This is my normal size 10-12 body. Yes I don't have a super flat stomach but it doesn't matter.' 'Everybody is different, I've always been a bit curvier and I shouldn't be body shamed for it.' It was made as a response to a cruel troll commenting below another of her videos, telling her: 'Get the portion control under control.' Her latest sizzling snaps come after Liberty won praise for her inspiring body-positive message in a previous post shared in March. She posted a number of photos of herself in different lingerie and pyjama sets from Boux Avenue. She showed off her slim physique in lacy pink bra and matching underwear, as well as a bright blue bra with a cheeky coordinating thong. But Liberty added an empowering message to the scorching images, writing: 'Myth: Body positivity is only for curvier girls. 'Truth: Body positivity is for everyone. People of all sizes, shapes, colours abilities. It's about embracing and loving your body, no matter its size or shape.' She added: Myth: Body positivity means you must love every single aspect of your body all the time. 'Truth: Body positivity is about accepting your body without the expectation of perfect self-love every moment. 'It's okay to have days where you don't feel great about your body. What matters is cultivating respect and acceptance.' Liberty told her 1.3 million Instagram followers that you can still be body positive even if there are things you'd like to change about your physique. She also stressed that body positivity is about more than just looks - to her, it's all about understanding and accepting how hard your body works for you, even from a health perspective. She added in the caption: 'Clearing up some body positivity myths. It's a movement against societal pressure and unrealistic beauty standards.' The Birmingham native rose to fame on the 2021 edition of Love Island where she famously split up with her on-screen partner, Jake Cornish, just days ahead of the final. She returned to try her luck in the 2024 All Stars edition of the show but was sadly once again unsuccessful.
