The fitness instructor met 26-year-old Swede Stephanie at a London club on Wednesday last week before taking her back to his hotel room
LOVE Island cheat Frankie Foster has insisted his relationship with Samira Mighty is “real” – hours after The Sun revealed he had romped with a nightclub reveller behind his girlfriend’s back.
And despite admitting he shared a room with the girl, fitness instructor Frankie, 22, has claimed nothing happened in a bombshell interview on Dan’s Dilemmas With Dan Wootton on talkRADIO.
It comes after The Sun on Sunday yesterday revealed that Frankie enjoyed a romp with the 26-year-old Swede called Stephanie after meeting her at London’s Libertine club – one day before he filmed a touching airport reunion with Samira, also 22, after she quit the show.
In a showdown with Dan Wootton yesterday, Frankie said: "We met at a nightclub, we went out. The biggest mistake for me and this is what me and Samira have spoken about and I had to apologise about is that I was in the same room as those two.
“I was asleep, three beds, I went on the far left, they went on the far right at a hotel we stayed in.”
Frankie branded the situation "strange" especially as he is meant to be meeting Samira's parents tonight.
He added: “It’s a very strange situation for us because we knew about this before yesterday and then we've gone and had such a great day yesterday, we've got a day planned to chill out today.
“I’m going to meet Sam’s mum tonight and she'll probably meet my family in the next few days.
"This is a real relationship. We are boyfriend and girlfriend and we are in a relationship.
“It’s a big wake-up call for me, it’s a big learning curve. I can’t put myself in that situation ever again.”
Despite Frankie's denial the nightclub reveller claims otherwise – and told The Sun how they had got together in a hotel room in King’s Cross.
She said: “He should be ashamed.
“I was with friends and got talking to who was sat drinking champagne with his manager at the next table.
“I’d heard of the show, of course, but I had never watched it.
"The fact I wasn’t a besotted fan seemed to make him all the more interested. He was being very sweet and we started flirting. Never once did he mention this Samira girl.
“We danced and ended up taking a cab back to his hotel room in King’s Cross. There were two double beds and I said, ‘Who else is staying here?’
“He said, ‘Well, my manager is. He probably won’t stay here tonight’. As far as the sex went, Frankie was nothing special but nothing bad.”
Frankie later lashed out at claims that he only coupled up with Samira as a “strategic decision” as he was unable to partner up with his first choice Megan Barton-Hanson.
He said: “I’ve heard the Megan thing loads but when you’re going into a house full of people you don’t know, who you say on day one is pretty irrelevant.
“I made the right call in the end. You’re making a punt based on things you don’t really know a lot about and people you don’t know a lot about. Samira gets on with Megan really well, she’s a nice girl.”
The couple also hit back at claims that the show is “staged” and that scenes on the ITV2 programme are “set up”.
Frankie claimed: “For me I never felt like I was on TV in there, never ever. The guys were great in there. Everything you see in there is your own decision.”
He added: “The best way I can put it is they want an idea of what we are thinking but they’re not telling us what to think.”
