Love Island’s Rykard Jenkins posts selfie of his bloodied face as he claims Kem Cetinay attacked him
LOVE Island star Rykard Jenkins has stunned fans with a selfie of his bloodied face after claiming he was attacked by 2017 winner Kem Cetinay for "flirting" with his girlfriend Amber Davies.
Last year's hunky contestant, who found love with co-star Rachel Fenton, has accused this summer's champion of assaulting him with the help of his mates following the swanky boohooMAN fashion launch in London.
But Kem later took to his own account to deny the fisticuffs.
The reality TV stars were on the guest list to celebrate Kem's new role as brand ambassador, as exclusively revealed by The Sun Online.
The Essex lad arrived in a Rolls Royce along with Welsh beauty Amber, who sizzled in a skintight leather dress which clung to her toned curves.
Things appeared to turn less pretty at the end of the night according to personal trainer Rykard, who took to his Twitter account in the early hours to post a shocking selfie showing blood across the bottom of his nose and a bust lip.
He wrote: "This is @KemCetinay and his boys. #safe."
Shedding a little more light on his side of the story, he followed up with a series of posts which read: "So @KemCetinay and his boys just attacked me because apparently I was flirting with Amber. I stood there took the beatings and went home. But in my eyes they are all p***ys."
Rykard, who has also starred in ITV2 show Ibiza Weekender, added: "One on one let's go boys..
"It takes more than 4 geezers punching me in the head to knock me out."

Making reference to his own Love Island relationship, he added he had gone home to girlfriend Rachel.
Things might not have been fully resolved, though, as Rykard suggested round two could be on the cards.
He followed up with: "I've dealt with worse. When they are ready. Come to my ends and we can settle it."
Later Amber seemed to confirm his suggestions of a spat as she was spotted leaving the event in a highly emotional state.
Yet Kem, still smiley from his fashion success, merely gave a thumbs up to the camera.
He later took to his social media account to write he had returned to his hotel amid news of the reports and had "not a clue" about what had ensued.
He continued: "I hope everyone is OK and thanks for supporting. x"
In a separate message, which referred to muscle man Rykard, he added: "Because he got in a fight does not mean it's me do I look like I can throw a punch FFS," followed by Emoji icons crying with laughter.
Meanwhile brunette Amber was seen smiling again as she took a bed time selfie with her man.
Issuing some supportive words to her boyfriend, she posted a message which read: "Don't let anyone ruin your night," followed by an Emoji love heart.
She continued: "You haven't done anything wrong! Sleepy time for me and my boy xxx"
Kem launched his first collection with the brand on Monday, 14 August.
The 21-year-old is thrilled with his new project, saying: "I'm delighted to be representing boohooMAN as their first UK Brand Ambassador.
"We've got some big things planned and I'm really excited to get started.
"Their products are right up my street - there's so much choice!”
Things were much happier earlier in the bash, as they were joined by a gaggle of reality TV stars.
Amber looked gorgeous in a white dress with lace-up details all along the front and sleeves.
She teamed the figure-hugging dress with a red bag and metallic sandals - which she also wore to the Logan Lucky premiere earlier this week.
Kem wore a boohooMAN t-shirt with black ripped trousers and a pale blue denim jacket.
The couple beamed as they snuggled up together on the red carpet at the swish London bash.
They were reunited with Love Island co-stars Olivia Attwood, Chris Hughes, Montana Brown, Gabrielle Allen, Jess Shears, Dom Lever and Tyla Carr at the bash.
Olivia and Chris looked happy as they held hands walking into the bash, after a blazing row in a club that saw her escorted out by security, and rumours of a split after she was photographed with her ex Bradley Dack.
Gorgeous glamour model Jess Shears was in attendance with her boyfriend Dom Lever.
Despite rumours she had bedded Mike Thalassitis after being booted from the island, the couple are still going strong and regularly making appearances together.
Jess premiered a stunning new blonde hairstyle with dark roots as she stepped out in a lovely lilac top.
It comes as she revealed she has recently had cosmetic surgery to reduce her boob size after being uncomfortable with her first boob job.
