Who is Dejon Noel-Williams? Meet Love Island 2025 contestant and personal trainer
Dejon will be working up a sweat in the villa this year.
Love Island 2025 contestant Dejon Noel-Williams has condemned "upsetting" media coverage regarding an interaction with police officers over a phone theft.
Outlets reported that the semi-pro footballer had been questioned in relation to the incident, but in a statement shared with RadioTimes.com, Noel-Williams clarified that he "voluntarily spoke to the police" about what occurred and had "honourable" intentions in doing so.
The contestant was not arrested nor was any further action taken beyond his voluntary statement as he was not responsible for the theft.
Noel-Williams's full statement reads: "Out of respect to the other people involved here, I would prefer not to have to address this, but I have no choice given that the narrative that has been put forward is unfairly damaging and completely inaccurate.
"I was never arrested; I voluntarily spoke to the police to clarify the truth about what happened in this incident, with no further action taken. To stress, my intentions here were entirely honourable, and it is very upsetting to read claims that suggest otherwise."
