Whitney Adebayo and Lochan Nowacki first fell in love in 2023 while living in the Love Island villa, but the pair recently broke up after two years of dating.
Love Island star Whitney Adebayo has claimed her ex-boyfriend Lochan Nowacki ‘called her skin dirty’ during their relationship in an explosive TikTok post – which Lochan denies. Whitney, 27, posted a TikTok in which she made the claim, but later deleted the post after it went viral on the platform.
However, she has since shared the post once again, with Lochan sharing his own response to the allegations. The former flames met on Love Island in 2023, before finishing up in seventh place on the series.
The pair continued to date outside of the villa until earlier this year when they split. It comes after Cat Deeley found moving back to the UK ‘really hard’ before split from Patrick Kielty.

Whitney has now made an outrageous claim about Lochan while they were together on TikTok following their split. Whitney poses in a stunning, bright pink strapless bikini on a beach in Barbados in the post where she makes the allegations. She captions the first image, “You look happier,” in the top photo.
In the second photo, she is looking at the camera while lying on a beach. “Thanks! ! ” she wrote on top of the second image. He used to call his skin “dirty,” and I eventually wed a pink, glittering heart emoji. Whitney also shared more bikini-themed photos with herself.
Whitney’s sister then posted to defend her sibling against some criticising her for making the allegation. Liz shared a screenshot of an alleged WhatsApp conversation, which appears to be with Lochan and dates back to August 18, 2024.
Please speak to her if she is completely dry and makes me feel awful, but I never said that because I thought her skin was dirty and I felt sick. She is so awkward that she can’t look at me in the same way. Liz, I’m not sure what to do.
Writing on top of the screengrab on her Instagram story, Liz said: “The fact that evidence is needed is absurd to me why can’t women speak and be heard? I’m tired of seeing people constantly paint my sister as this person and jumping on the ‘hate Whitney’ bandwagon.
It is vile to me that she endured such hardships and that it took so long for her to heal and share her truth to be shamed. We’ve all stayed in positions that didn’t work for us as women, but when you do, you really start to become a woman.
She concluded her criticism of her message by saying, “Be kind and give grace.”
Since then, both Whitney and Lochan have posted videos to address the accusations on TikTok. Lochan posted a five-minute video on the platform to defend himself. He said, “I don’t even know where to start this really.”
He stated that he and his family are “devastated and upset” about the allegations but that he felt “no choice” but to address them on his own social media account.
Whitney has since spoken about the situation, and Lochan goes into great detail about it. He claimed that Whitney started showing off her new nails a year into their relationship.
She obfuscated and said, “My hands are so clean, yours aren’t,” and she obfuscated. And I responded, “No, they’re not,” he said.
It was an off-the-cuff remark, but I was just annoyed that she had her hands in my face. She looked at me shocked and said, “You’re calling me dirty. That surprised me, I must say. I felt insulted by my girlfriend’s calling me a racist because she knew I would never say that.
I want to say that I’ve never called someone’s skin dirty, but I’ve never. That is the most upsetting statement in my opinion.
Lochan then discusses the accusations against him before stating that he later messaged Whitney’s sister to try to resolve the situation.
In a sincere Instagram video about her life in April of this year, Whitney revealed her breakup with Lochan. Whitney said, “It’s strange how you can wake up one day and decide everything you once loved wasn’t enough.” This voiceover was a supplement to a video of what she’s been up to recently.
“Hi, my name is Whitney, and I’ve chosen to be her today. After a cold, dark winter, I used to adore the spring, the warmth, the light, and the sense of life returning. However, April 4th this year seemed like a cruel reminder of the chill of winter. He made the decision to stop choosing us and to stop choosing me. And I was soon found myself by myself.
Whitney has also posted a video to TikTok, but it only lasted five minutes, compared to Lochan’s. She addressed the allegations in a previous post, saying she finds it difficult to focus on the camera because she doesn’t like to discuss her “feelings.”
She states, “This is for women, and especially my black women who don’t feel like it will be heard. Give me an example, and I’m sure you can relate to your story because you never know when something important might come up.
