Theo Campbell has furiously called out fellow Love Island co-star Idris Virgo after he claimed he was "faking" going blind in a freak accident.
The 28 year old had his eyeball split completely in two in August after a freak accident saw a Champagne cork fly into his eye at a party in Ibiza.
It has now emerged that Idris, 26, who starred on the hit ITV2 dating show one year after athlete Theo, believes he faked the incident as private messages leaked online.
While Theo has defended himself against the accusation, his close pal Georgia Harrison has also had her say.
Speaking exclusively to OK! online , Georgia said: "The fact that anybody would say Theo faked his eye injury is really disgusting.
"The poor guy almost lost his eye and has lost his sight in it. He's been through enough. What he doesn't need is people trying to get clout by mentioning his name.
"Also, the claims that 'everyone is laughing at Theo' is ridiculous. If there is a WhatsApp group with former Love Islanders saying that Theo faked his injury I haven't seen it."
Georgia has been a steady source of support for Theo since his injury, as she regularly praises both Theo and his girlfriend Kaz Crossley for their positivity throughout the ordeal on social media.
After Theo’s horror accident, she shared a picture of them on her Instagram and wrote: “@theo_campbell91 I am so very proud of you! Almost everything we have filmed for we have done together! We’ve been room mates on and off for almost 3 years now and I can honestly say you are one of my best friends!

"I’m so lucky to have you and @kazcrossley and I’m praying you have a really quick recovery. You’ve both been so brave the last week or so and I have every bit of faith your going to recover.”
Theo and Idris are currently starring alongside each other on MTV series The Challenge, but it appears they are not getting along off screen.
Theo replied to one of Idris' tweets on Wednesday morning, in which he shared a screenshot from a private chat: "You're boring. You didn't get an invite to the reunion show because you had 0 personality on the show.
"Everyone else should, only you shouldn't. And because your a puppet that's why you won't get casted again. I duno why you try so hard online to make noise. But carry on its laughable.” [sic]
Theo didn't stop there, going on to post a screenshot from a private group message, in which Idris says, referring to Theo's accident: "Think it's fake tbh."
Separate messages read: "Dont think he has. Someone said something the other day about it" [sic]
Calling him out, Theo continued: "You missed out the part where you're telling you're little people I'm lying about my eye.. [sic]
"Only a idiot like yourself would lie about such a thing. And that fact you're putting our convo on Twitter just proves once again what a BEG you are. BEG BEG BEG such a loser." [sic]
Idris cruelly responded: "Who are you again? People only know who you are because of your girlfriend other than that you're irrelevant.
"Man had to shoot him self with a cork to get clout."
