Love Island star Anna Vakili has revealed a married Arsenal star once slid into her DMs.
Anna touched down under the sunny Mallorcan skies as part of Series 5 of Love Island back in 2019 - starring alongside the likes of Tommy Fury, Molly-Mae Hague and Maura Higgins.
Anna Vakili opened up on the message
And when taking part in Fabulous’ Spill or Chill? YouTube challenge, the 33-year-old admitted a Premier League footballer had made his move. “I had an Arsenal player slide into my DMs," she admitted.
"Which was really bad because he was married with kids and literally he has it all over his Instagram as well, so I don't know what he was thinking!"
However, she added that wasn't the weirdest DM she had received.

“The weirdest DM for me on a personal level would be Lee Ryan from Blue, because I grew up liking him," she added. "He was my biggest crush.
"I would have his pictures all over the walls of my bedroom. I'd write him letters like when I was young and then being older, and him messaging me was just like such a weird, surreal feeling.”
Vakili is the latest Love Islander to be linked with a footballer - after Grace Jackson opened up on her fling with Aston Villa star Marcus Rashford on Love Island All Stars this past month.
The 26-year-old Mancunian model addressed the rumours during a candid conversation in the villa with fellow islander Olivia Hawkins.
"No we were out in a group having food," she told Olivia when pressed about the nature of their relationship.
The model revealed that traditional dating proved challenging for the footballer. "Its difficult because he can't go out and just go on a normal date," Jackson explained.
"All these f*****g United fans were like commenting, thousands of comments on my pictures like, 'cause they loved me," she said.
"When the article came out he scored two goals and he hadn't scored for like ages, so they said 'You fixed him!'"
