Why did Niall Aslam quit Love Island 2018
Over the years several stars have joined the hit reality TV show and then promptly quit.
By why do these stars leave?
One such occurrence came about in 2018 when Niall Aslam left the show.
He had one of the shortest stints in the villa, leaving after just nine days.
Niall, then 23, was initially coupled with Kendal Rae Knight before she was stolen by bombshell Adam Collard.
Niall, who later revealed he has Asperger’s Syndrome, struggled to cope with the intensity of life in the villa, and ended up having hallucinations due to stress-induced psychosis.
Speaking about his horrifying experience and lack of post-exit interviews, he told Grazia: “I was on so much medication getting loads of side-effects, that’s why I didn’t really do any interviews as I was getting really slurred speech from the medication.
“Then I had to come off the medication, I was on Xanax, really really strong stuff. I just ‘cold turkey-ed’ it, that was horrible. It was a really upside-down time for me.
“I think it took quite a long time for me to recover fully from it because of the Love Island situation.
“I was trying to get back to reality and my reality was different. I was really struggling… I was all over the place, I was depressed, I was avoiding things.”
