The fallout between Love Island UK stars Whitney Adebayo and Lochan Nowacki has taken a serious turn.
The ex-couple, who split in April 2025 after two years together, are now embroiled in a heated dispute over allegations of racism. Whitney claimed Lochan once called her skin “dirty,” while he insists it was a misunderstood joke. Here’s the full breakdown of their clash.
Whitney’s Allegations: What She Said
Whitney Adebayo first hinted at the controversy in a TikTok post on August 1. She captioned a bikini photo:
“‘You look happier.’ Thanks! I finally fell in love with my skin he used to call dirty.”
Though she didn’t name Lochan, fans connected the dots. Later, her sister Liz shared alleged WhatsApp messages where Lochan seemingly admitted to the remark:
“Please speak to Whit… I never said it thinking her skin is dirty. I feel sick, I crossed a line with a joke.”
In a TikTok livestream, Whitney elaborated:
“We were walking back from lunch… I said, ‘Babe, look how my skin glistens in the sun.’ He looked at me and was like, ‘Ugh, it’s dirty.’ Only when I lashed out, he said it was a joke.”
Lochan’s Response: “I Never Meant It That Way”
Lochan Nowacki denied the accusations in an emotional TikTok video on August 2. He explained:
“About a year into our relationship, Whitney put her nails in my face and said, ‘My hands are so clean. Yours aren’t.’ I replied, ‘No, they’re not,’ because I was annoyed.”
He insisted the comment wasn’t about her skin:
“She looked at me in shock and said, ‘You’re calling me dirty?’ I was taken aback. I’d never insinuate that. I’m insulted she’d think I’m racist.”
Lochan, who comes from a multicultural background, added:
“My mum is Indian, my dad is Scottish-Polish-English. The idea that I’d say something racist is devastating.”
