ONE of Love Island's most controversial stars has signed up for the upcoming Games spin-off, three years after failing to find love on TV.<\/p>\n

Mike Boateng starred in Winter Love Island in January 2020 and made it almost to the end but was dumped two days before the finale.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Now The Sun can reveal that former police officer Mike is returning to the franchise for Love Island Games, which is currently being filmed in Fiji.<\/p>\n

An insider said: "Mike may be a divisive figure amongst some Love Island fans but he is sure to bring some drama to The Games. He's competitive and has his eye on the prize.<\/p>\n

"He is keen to show viewers a different side to him as he feels he was misunderstood during his time on the original show, as well as in the aftermath."<\/p>\n

He will join the likes of Megan Barton Hanson, Curtis Pritchard, Liberty Poole and Georgia Steel in the Maya Jama-fronted spin-off.<\/p>\n

Mike attracted criticism from some fans during his time on the show for making moves on Jess Gale while he was coupled up with Sophie Piper.<\/p>\n

He was branded 'muggy' by fellow islander Luke Mabbott, who was partnered with Jess at the time.<\/p>\n

Viewers called Mike's actions "out of order" and claimed he tried to "humiliate" Luke.<\/p>\n

Mike later coupled up with Priscilla Anyabu and the pair made it official on their final date, but were dumped before the grand final and split 15 months later.<\/p>\n

Mike's brother Andrew accused the show of unfairly editing the pair, leading to their eviction.<\/p>\n

He said on social media: "They really tried it with how they edited these two, but the world will see how amazing they are."<\/p>\n

After the show, Mike told the Daily Star: "There are still people that will cling on to that and cling onto the narrative of what they saw of me being played out on TV, for the most part I looked like a game player."<\/p>\n

Mike was also dogged with allegations of "improper conduct"from his time during the police force.<\/p>\n

Greater Manchester Police confirmed at the time that Mike was the subject of an \u201congoing\u201d probe.<\/p>\n

But Mike claimed at his misconduct hearing that he had been a victim of racism from colleagues.<\/p>\n

He was cleared of all charges and updated his fans about the result.<\/p>\n

He wrote on social media: "I have now been CLEARED of ALL false allegations, as well as being able to resume work within the public services (including the GMP) should I choose to.<\/p>\n

"This has been a culmination of over three years of mistreatment. Now that all allegations have been dropped, this entire ordeal has come to an end."<\/p>\n
