LOVE Island Casa Amor star Boris Vidović previously appeared on a Slovenian reality show, where he said he "doesn’t believe in finding love on TV".
Model Boris, 28, who is currently attempting to turn heads in the ITV
2 villa, was a contestant on Kmetija (The Farm) in 2024.
The series saw contestants live and work on a farm while competing for a cash prize.
At the time, Boris said he was taking part in the show for “a new experience” and hoped to use the prize money to travel to “exotic destinations”.
However, in an interview ahead of filming, he expressed doubt about romance on screen.
When asked about falling in love on reality TV, Boris told 24UR: “I don’t believe in it. I don’t even think about it.”
He also stated that he did not approve of nudity in front of the cameras.
During his appearance on Kmetija, Boris described himself as “communicative” and someone who “swears by positive energy and laughter".
He had no prior experience working on a farm or caring for animals but said he was not concerned about the challenges.
But, following his Love Island debut, those familiar with his earlier TV stint rushed to a Reddit forum.
One wrote: "I actually watched him, he was super unlikable and in this interview before the show he says that he disapproves nudity in front of cameras + he doesn't believe in love in a reality show. He also got a lot more new tattoos while in Dubai."
Another added: "I’m embarrassed for my country, sorry guys! I heard he was bragging abot going on LI a while back and I said no waaaaay…
"Edit: I worked with him on a photoshoot once…not a thought behind those eyes."
Boris, who lives in Ljubljana, previously said he was single at the time of filming Kmetija.
In his pre-villa interview for Love Island, he vowed: "I’m gonna have to be the bad guy! That’s the game.
"If I’m going in and there’s someone beautiful waiting for me inside, I’m going to approach them for sure."
On who he's got his sights set on, Boris added: "I’m super attracted to Shakira, I think she’s got a great personality and seems like a good girl.
"I’m sure we’d get along well and have a good time together, but I need to see in person, it’s all about energy."
