It's no secret we're slightly obsessed with MTV show Ex On The Beach so when we got the opportunity to speak to our favourite stirrer Liam we had plenty to ask him...
What made you want to take part in the show?
I’d seen the advert and it was advertised as a
summer of love, six singles living together in a villa. Obviously that was
appealing straight away. Then there was the cruel twist of the exs’ that we had
no idea about. Just living abroad in paradise with a load of girls appeals to
any lad I think.
When did it first dawn on you that the exs’ was
the big twist?
Not straight away. The first ex to come in was
Ross and he’d had a little bit of history with Chloe but they weren’t proper
exs’ so we didn’t really think too much of that at first, we just thought ‘oh
probably a little bit of a coincidence’. Then on day three Frankie got dropped
in and that was Marcos’ proper ex so it was ‘yep we’ve all been stitched up
here’.
Were you worried?
I wouldn’t say worried but obviously a little bit
apprehensive because like we’ve all said they’re exs’ for a reason. My exs’, I
don’t really want anything to do with them. It just felt like it was a massive
spoiler; we weren’t really there for that. I personally just thought ‘ah bugger
it’.
You became ‘chief stirrer’ fairly early on, why
was that?
It probably was a bit of boredom to be honest. We
were having a class time and doing all sorts of different activities and that
but obviously I was there to meet a girl. It wasn’t going to plan, pardon the
phrase, but it was all a bit of a cock block because all the girls were exs’ of
someone, so it was like ‘oh god how am I going to pull here’. Ash and Marco
were more bothered about their hair and what they were wearing than having a
bit of banter so I just thought I’d go and mix things up a bit; cause a bit of
drama.
What stirring are you most proud of?
That’s a good question! Erm, probably the Frankie
bits. She just bit so much. On the show you only see little snippets of it all
but that went on all day, she was absolutely raging. If she’d have said ‘nah
you’re lying’ then that would probably have been the end of it, the fact she
kicked off so much made it all the more funny really.
You’ve made it clear you’re not the biggest fan
of Ash and Marco, is that still the case or was it just confined to the show?
Whilst we were there yeah I wasn’t a fan of them
whatsoever, I didn’t have any time for them, they’re not the sorts of lads I
hang around with. I like lads you can have a bit of banter with and that type
of thing. Since the show, it’s took a while like, the show was filmed seven
months ago so there’s been a lot of time to catch-up doing things for MTV, we’ve
got to know each other a bit more and we’re a lot more friendly now and we do
get on.
We’ve seen you go on a few dates with Emily that
didn’t go too well, why do you think that was?
I don’t know, when Emily isn’t on a date and it’s
everyone together she’s so funny, so witty and her banter is really good, we
got on really well. But when we went on the dates she was like dead tense and
stuff, she had a wall up so it was really hard to get her to break that down.
Maybe she fancied us a little bit and was nervous, that’s what I’ve said to her.
You went of a date with Talitha that went a bit
better, but still no romance, were you disappointed?
Talitha, she’s gorgeous and stuff and I did fancy
her but obviously she was with Ash so I felt a little bit harsh if I tried to
make a move or anything. I didn’t really want to put Talitha in that situation
because she actually genuinely liked Ash. Emily was a bit uptight whereas
Talitha was dead outgoing and just went along with things.
What has it been like watching the show back?
Funny… hilarious, just watching all the stirring
and how people react. It’s totally different watching it back to how it all
happened. A lot more goes on and you don’t see all the little bits and bobs but
it’s been really good to watch back. I think it’s totally different to anything
else on TV isn’t it, a lot more drama involved, and it’s been good.
What’s the reaction been like from people on the
streets and places like twitter?
Crazy, absolutely crazy. Before the show started
I had like 5000 followers and now I’ve got 60 odd thousand, that shows how much
the show has blew up and everywhere I go now I get recognised, they’re like ‘you’re
the stirrer’. To say I’ve caused loads of havoc and loads of arguments fans
seem to enjoy it.
There’s only a couple of episodes left now, what can we
expect? Plenty more drama?
I can guarantee the episodes get better and
better now. Also when Ricci comes its just absolute carnage. Vicky hates him
with a passion, she makes that quite clear. He comes out the water with a bang,
Vicky instantly reacts to him. The thing was me and Vicky were really good
mates in the house so I made the decision that I didn’t want to make any effort
with Ricci for the simple reason I didn’t want to upset Vicky. She’s become
like a loyal friend and I didn’t want to cross that path and because I do that
it just creates so much trouble. It’s going to be good to watch.
Once the show is over can we expect to see you on
our TV again or do you have other plans?
Hopefully series two will come along, there’s
nothing confirmed yet, MTV haven’t given anything away, but fingers crossed I’ll
be on series two stirring things up again. If not hopefully I’ll be on TV in
another capacity, it’s a waiting game now.
