LOVE Island hunk Dejon is purely in the villa to "secure the bag" and walk out with the "cash" - according to his former colleague.
The 2025 ITV2 contestant is coupled up with fellow Love Island OG Meg, yet their bond is being tested after he formed a connection with Casa Amor beauty Andrada.
ITV viewers have previously said that Dejon, who has been under Meg's thumb since day one, has been afraid to look at another girl since entering the villa.
And they called out his attitude after he was taken on a date by bombshell Billykiss - only for it to end in him dishing out cruel jibes during a row when he decided to stay with Meg.
Today, The Sun exclusively teased the "wildest ever" Casa Amor reecoupling - as well as a mass dumping with both OG Islanders and Casa stars given the boot.
Yet with his future on the show hanging in the balance, his former work colleague has admitted he's there for the cash prize.
TikTok user Ayla Mellek told how she had worked with Dejon at his gym, inserting videos of their shoots together to prove she was genuine.
In a piece direct to camera, she bluntly said: "I'm here to confirm that Dejon from Love Island is just there to secure the bag.
"Please ignore the visuals, I'm in the airport right now.
"But anyways I actually know Dejon, I met him through work during this content shoot."
She added: "My experience working with him, he is actually a genuinely sweet, respectful kind of guy.
"Like he is not a rude boy in real life he's very much reserved and shy, especially when you just meet him and are quite new to him.
"So how he is on TV is a reflection of him in real life, how he is reserved and shy.
"I don't think he's there playing a game between Meg and Billykiss or whatever but I do think he's there and he's got this goal to win and to get this cash."
She then told how the way he spoke to Irish influencer Billykiss had "triggered" her.
In the comments section, one TikTok user mused: "I mean aren't they all there to win?"
Another added: "Nothing wrong with trying to secure the bag but the way he went about it with Billykiss was just hard to watch."
A third referred to former Islanders and put: "He wants the same fame as Tyrique and Dami."
One concluded: "Seems a few of them are just there to secure the bag hmmmm."
ALL CHANGE
This week will see the dramatic outcome of the Casa Amor re-coupling.
The Sun is keeping schtum on the results of the explosive scenes, filmed last night and which will air on screen this week - but we can reveal that the switch-up left several Islanders single.
And they’ve now already left the villa.
A source said: “The Casa Amor recoupling is always hotly anticipated and this year the Islanders have been quick off the mark.
“Bosses were left gobsmacked by how far some of them were prepared to take it to ‘test their connection’, as they always like to say. “It’s been the raunchiest break ever, with lots of bedroom scenes not even making it to air.
“It’s all led to spicy recoupling and several Islanders have bitten the dust.”
