Exclusive: Lee has the last word
And what an experience it was! From being besotted with B, kicking trees over Colleen and brawling with Brendan in the back of a limo, you could say Lee packed in more in Fiji than he ever could in an average night in Leeds…
“A bit of me still wants to be in there because I’m missing the gang already,” he told us, when we caught up with the lad back at the hotel.
“It’s nice to be out though because I’ve rung me mates back home, and it’s nice to have a few drinks!”
So let’s cut to the chase as we’re talking about mates – we all want to know why Lee sided with Calum over Leo when he busted back in to get back with Bianca.
“As a friend I just felt it was a bit harsh for Leo to come back on the show when Calum and Bianca had had something.
“So when things happened between Calum and Bianca I was just a mate towards Cal really.
So there’s no guilt at all when it comes to dissing his pal?
“Well, I was in an awkward situation there because I’d shared a bed with Leo and he was there through me trying to woo Colleen and all that daft business,” he admits.
Ah, that ‘daft business.’ What on earth went through Lee’s mind when he mangled the microphone in the Beach Hut that night?
“I just felt like Colleen had lead me on,” Lee recollects. “No disrespect to her, it was probably me misinterpreting a lot of it. I just felt embarrassed.
“Mine was genuine human emotion, it was genuine hurt.”
But never fear, for the Lawler is here, and Lee soon fell for our foxy new female when she literally jetted into the Resort.
“I never said I fell for Kate!” Lee reprimands us. “I think every 24 year old lad in the country fancies Kate, but I don’t know what my thoughts are and how she feels.”
So how did things stand when Lee left Love Island?
“She wrote me a note,” he reveals. “It was nice. It’s exciting actually. I’m looking forward to meeting up with Kate after the show definitely.”
So despite the odd snog and under the duvet cuddle at night, poor Lee was left hanging, and horrendously horny!
“I was waking up with an erection every morning,” he says, as if we didn’t know! “I think Leo once described me as a walking hard on.
“I know that’s definitely the longest I’ve been without sex. The next girl I meet’s going to have a right seeing to!”
Lovely! And apart from the rampant youth that we wouldn’t change for the world, what has Love Island brought to Lee Otways’s life?
“It’s helped people see the real me, not just the daft blond haired kid on Hollyoaks.
“It’s made people see my good things and my bad things, and I’d like to think the good out-weighs the bad.”
Come back soon to hear Lee’s side of the big fight story!
