Former Love Island contestant Indiyah Polack has publicly addressed allegations of infidelity against her ex-partner Dami Hope, following the emergence of a viral video. The 27-year-old issued a candid statement on social media, admitting fault for her actions.
The Viral Video and Public Admission
The controversy ignited earlier this weekend when a clip surfaced online. It appeared to show Indiyah passionately kissing her Inside co-star, Twitch streamer Marlon Lundgren Garcia, 24, at the upmarket London restaurant Duck and Waffle. The video, filmed by TikTok influencer Bouncer, depicted the pair "openly kissing, touching and giggling" according to the eyewitness.
In response, Indiyah took to her Instagram Story with a direct message for her followers. "I am aware of the video that has been shared online," she wrote. "I made a mistake and take full responsibility for my actions. I understand the hurt this has caused. I won't be commenting further."
Dami Hope's Statement and the End of a Relationship
This incident follows the official announcement of Indiyah and Dami Hope's breakup. On New Year's Day, a spokesperson for Dami, 29, confirmed the couple's separation was "due to a breach of trust." A source close to the pair elaborated to the Daily Mail, stating it had been a "difficult time" after three years together and that the split was sudden and unexpected.
Prior to the video's release, Dami had hinted at turmoil in a reflective social media post reviewing 2025. He spoke of milestones and growth but also noted, "Not everything ends clean, but it ends clear." Notably, Indiyah was absent from his year-end photo collection.
Marlon Lundgren Garcia's Response
The other individual in the video, Swedish-American influencer Marlon Lundgren Garcia, also addressed the situation. During a live stream, the 24-year-old, who boasts millions of followers across social platforms, stated he was "single at the time" and "not talking to nobody." He defended the authenticity of the interaction but asserted it was part of his private life.
Indiyah and Dami, who met on the 2022 series of Love Island and finished in third place, have reportedly ruled out any participation in the upcoming Love Island: All Stars series. Indiyah is said to be focusing on her podcast hosting duties.
