Love Island star says famous dad loves watching raunchy Heart Rate Challenge

EXCLUSIVE: Love Island All Star’s Belle Hassan revealed her famous dad loved watching the villa’s raunchy Heart Rate Challenge and how she feels about navigating a tricky love triangle

Love Island star Belle Hassan has revealed that her famous dad is not only supportive of her return to the villa but also her biggest fan when it comes to the show’s risqué moments.

Speaking about advice from her Football Factory star father Tamer Hassan ahead of her second stint, ITV star Belle exclusively said: “He’s so supportive. He’s like, ‘Go have fun. Not too much fun, but fun’. I love me and my dad are best friends, so I’m always open.”

She explained that while her dad can be intimidating, he’s really a softie: “Everyone thinks we’re hard on the outside, but we’re softies. Boys do get intimidated at first, but once they meet him, they’re fine.”

When it comes to the villa’s infamous Heart Rate Challenge, Belle revealed her dad’s fondness for it: “That was my dad’s favourite episode last time. He was so proud.

“The producers even told him, ‘You might want to skip tonight.’ He said, ‘I was so proud when you walked out. You’re so tall. That’s my girl.’ I think he wouldn’t mind the Heart Rate Challenge or my outfit.”

Reflecting on her dad’s approach, Belle added: “He’s like, be yourself. Whatever happens, happens. Don’t worry. I’m here when you’re home, start or end.”

When asked how she feels about being in a love triangle, Belle admitted it depends on the situation: “It depends at what point I’m in the triangle.

“When you go into Love Island, you kind of expect it, because people come in wanting to get to know you or your partner.

“If I’m at the top of the triangle with two men, I’m all for it. If it’s two girls, I don’t know, as I’d never want to hurt her feelings. It also depends how much I like him… and how sexy he is,” she laughed.

When asked how she would feel is her ex Anton Danyluk was in the villa ,she said: “Do you know what? I wouldn’t mind seeing Anton again. He’s all right. I think I’ve seen him a few times, obviously, since we split up, but we’ve never sort of had that sort of tough hit in conversation about things from when we were together.

“It’d be nice to have him where he can’t escape from me to have a chat with him about things, where he can’t run away from it. But we’ve spoke. We’re not on bad terms. I think, if anything, we’d have a nice friendship. I don’t think I’d go backwards.”

Love Island All Stars start Monday 12th January at 9pm on ITV.
