Although the season ended months ago, the Love Island drama continues. In the past few months Marcel & Gabby dealt with racist abuse, Chris & Kem p*ssed off Lethal Bizzle, Chris got caught saying the N-word aaaaaand now we have a sex tape scandal (shock).
A publicist who had hold of a sex tape from an unnamed couple from this year’s series has lost the memory card which held the footage, filmed back in August after the show’s finish.
Rob Cooper had just left a client’s photoshoot when he pulled into a service station in Peterborough, leaving his electronics in the car. When he came back to the car, his car had allegedly been broken into and the video had been taken.
Recalling the story he said, “The laptop and three SD cards were in a laptop sleeve placed in the footwell on the passengers side alongside some paperwork.
“I was on the phone to another client via a handsfree kit, so when I pulled into the services I ended the call at 6:06pm, then after spending ten minutes inside I reconnected the phone and continued my journey at 6:17pm, that’s how I can be so specific on timings.
“When I returned to the car, I noticed that the door was slightly jarred open, however, there was a Louis Vuitton backpack on the back seat which was still there so I assumed I was just being paranoid – when I got home I realised the laptop sleeve was gone along with its contents.”
The couple (who had also already had sex on the show), had agreed to sell and release the tape for £100,000, while Vivid Entertainment who released Paris Hilton and Kim K’s sex tapes were hoping to release it before negotiations were put on hold.
It wouldn’t be huge surprise if the footage was now leaked by whoever has it. If the card is returned untampered with the reward will be £25k, but if it has been accessed the reward will be £10k with another £5k paid over the course of three yearly payments, only if the footage is not be uploaded to the Internet.
“If the images get into the wrong hands, they could be uploaded online, that’s why we’ve decided to make it public and offer a generous reward for their safe return of the individually coded bag,” Rob Said.
“The images are worthless to anyone who may have them, they are classed as stolen goods and if the images were to be uploaded then the vendor is committing revenge porn, which is obviously illegal.”
He added, “If the footage is returned and does not appear online then that’s the end of it, however, if the footage appears online and the card is not returned then we will be taking legal action. The couple have had to make their families aware of the situation and prepare them in advance in case the intimate footage is leaked.”
