Yahoo News Love Island fans convinced Hayley's faking being 'dumb'
Love Island's Hayley Hughes has made herself stand out by saying some ridiculous things, like not knowing what an earlobe is and thinking Brexit had something to do with trees.
We didn't say she was standing out for the right reasons.
However, a previous unseen clip (via The Mirror) has fans convinced that she has given the game away, and her being a 'dumb blonde' is just an act.
In the previously unseen footage that aired as part of Saturday night round-up show Love Island: The Weekly Hot List, Hayley asked her fellow girls about geography, stating that she believed that Wales was in Cardiff, Essex was a continent (and then a country) and Spain was a part of the United Kingdom.
"So I'm from Liverpool, so I live in a country?" she asked. "If you go on a plane and go to another place, that's still the United Kingdom? So, Spain?"
And then, when the other girls told her Spain was in Europe, she replied: "But it's still in the United Kingdom?"
Viewers were convinced that Hayley had to be pretending, with one even claiming that she is trying to emulate TOWIE's Joey Essex.
Hayley pretending to not know what an earlobe was, despite having a ‘B’ in A Level Science, just shows how fake she is 🤔 #LoveIsland

Why would someone want to act that dumb...? Essex is a continent... wtf. She just trying (and failing) to be a female Joey Essex #LoveIsland
But then what if it’s NOT an act!? Seriously worried. This is primary school stuff...- Claire G (@mumonrunz) June 16, 2018
Hayley can't seriously be that uneducated. It must be an act ! #loveisland

@LoveIsland I call bullshit, so #Hayley has a science A level, yet doesn’t know what an earlobe or country or city is? Playing dumb really does get you the airtime. Good advice from her agent I assume........

That Hayley girl is 100% faking being that dumb, she’s got A levels and studied at uni before dropping out for a career in acting... seems kinda clever to be acting very dumb on telly, what better way to show ur acting skills for ur career after the show ???

With previous Love Island stars admitting to going on the show mostly to build a media career, we wouldn't be surprised if Scarlett Moffatt's favourite Islander was acting.
Since leaving the show, Hayley has appeared on This Morning for an incredibly awkward interview, where she sat on a different sofa to Charlie Frederick because they don't get on.
Love Island airs nightly on ITV2 at 9pm.
