Love Island row as Hugo Hammond is forced to deny ‘inappropriate touching’ allegations

Hugo Hammond has denied claims made by fellow former Love Island star Sharon Gaffka when she was speaking on a podcast about his behaviour

Former Love Island star Hugo Hammond has launched a passionate defence against comments made by his fellow Islander, Sharon Gaffka.

Sharon, 26, claimed to the Saving Grace podcast she had been subjected to "inappropriate touching" by 25-year-old Hugo while on a night out.

She added their friendship had ended after the alleged incident as well as saying Hugo was "making jokes about her being spiked".

Hugo has hit back in statement on TikTok in which he vehemently denied the allegations made by Sharon as well as looking to explain as to why they have fallen out.

He wrote on the social media site: "Firstly, spiking is not a topic I use within my jokes nor do I find funny, it’s horrific to be honest. I wouldn’t joke about someone being spiked, it’s just not who I am, friend or not."

Hugo continued: "The wild comment made around inappropriate touching is outrageous and and simply false, to say something like this is seriously damaging and paints an unfair picture of me. You cannot just throw that sort of language around.”

Hugo then turned his attention to his relationship with Sharon, writing: "I am very confused to why she’s making these comments now?

"As she mentioned, I’ve tried to contact since so there’s been time to bring up to be resolved.

"And I’m just pretty upset to be honest that she has taken to social media knowing full well what that can do!”

Sharon made a number of allegations on the podcast, with them focusing on a night out which saw her end her friendship with Hugo.

She said: “When I got to the hotel I had been texting him and he called me a basic bitch for going to this club. Then I FaceTimed him because he seemed quite drunk and he made jokes about me getting spiked..."

Sharon continued: “I haven’t spoken to him since. He’s tried to message me and I don’t think he knows what I’ve done. I hung up and then he messaged me again and I told him to f*** off.

"My friend was there and I was in the Hilton lobby going mental calling him all sorts. I was like, ‘You’re a nasty piece of work!”

Sharon added: “There’s other stuff going on like inappropriate touching, which he also probably doesn’t remember. This is what I mean, nice guys aren’t nice.”
