Love Island's Joanna Chimonides admits to kissing Michael Griffiths

Love Island\'s Joanna Chimonides has admitted to kissing Michael Griffiths.

The pair were spotted snogging backstage at the Kisstory On The Common event in Clapham, south London, but she previously denied it on her Instagram.

Speaking on Fubar Radio, Joanna said: "At the point when things went on with Michael and Amber, I was like, \'No, never go back there,\' and when I was spending time with Michael, yep we had a little peck, a little kiss. That\'s absolutely fine. Everyone does it.

"I still do have feelings for him, I can\'t switch them off."

Joanna insisted she has become too busy to see the former firefighter or check up on him.

It comes after eagle-eyed fans fuelled speculation Michael could be getting close to Islander Elma Pazar after spotting a comment he made on her Instagram, despite him recently admitting he can\'t "switch off" his feelings for Joanna.

The 27-year-old star wrote: "Jheeez girl stop it".

Lash technician Elma entered the villa and coupled up with Scotsman Anton Danyluk, 24, but was voted off a few days later.

Michael was paired up with Amber Gill, 21, on the ITV2 series before choosing Joanna when the original girls were sent to Casa Amor.

Amber had decided to stay loyal to Michael, unaware he was getting close to Joanna - who used to date England footballer Ben Chilwell - back in the main villa.

Joanna and Michael were later voted off the island, but a shock twist saw the Islanders given the chance to save one of the pair - and they chose him.

He was later branded a "snake" by the model after he refused to leave the villa with her.
