Love Island star Kady McDermott has hit back at followers amid criticism of her newly-launched homeware collaboration.
Last week, the reality personality and influencer, 28, who starred in the second and eighth series of the ITV2 show, unveiled her new range with Chloe Jade Home, in conjunction with her McDermott’s Manor Instagram account.
The collection includes a host of home accessories, including an artificial orchid arrangement ringing in at a whopping £164.99 and a £139.99 candle, which left fans in shock over the dizzying price tags from a reality star.
Following the launch, one disgruntled follower penned under her announcement post: ‘Not all of us are rich if I bought these item it will look very miscellaneous in my house since it’s don’t have tile flooring or the newest chandelier’.
Kady swiftly replied, writing: ‘this collection isn’t just for ‘rich’ people at all, there’s lots of stuff in the collection that would look amazing in all homes xx’, before another of her followers urged her to ‘do better’ with her choice of price tags.

Kady looked radiant in the snaps from the launch, in which she posed in her lavish Hertfordshire home alongside her dog Coby.
Alongside the fake flowers and lavish candle, the line also features £99.99 fragrance diffusers, a £75.00 diffuser gift set and a set of two vases for £46.99.
Following the comments about the collection for the ‘rich’, other followers jumped to her defense, responding: ‘That’s her fault why??? You buy what you can afford then like everyone else rather than complain about…
‘[She’s] literally not complaining or saying it’s her fault… I’d love to know where you saw the newest chandelier and tile flooring in her post…
‘You’re being naughty for no reason. she has a very decent background, mostly white. if you have poor taste in your home just say so.’
Another fan urged Kady to ‘do better’ in regards to a candle in the collection, writing: ‘I saw the large candle on Kadys insta and instantly wanted it, until I saw its almost £200!! It would be gone in a day. Please do better’.
The reality star swiftly replied, noting the cost of rival Jo Malone candles, writing: ‘The extra large is £140 the large is £85, they both have over a 100 hour burn time, the Jo Malones one is £300 so you defo get your moneys worth I assure you x’.
Admitting her mistake, the follower replied: ‘My mistake. £135 boxed. I reallllly want one but will wait for review first. No hate at all btw, big fan from day’.

The star bought the pad with ex partner and TOWIE star Myles Barnett in 2019, before their subsequent split, and the couple spent millions to turn a ‘chalet’ into the lavish six bedroom, three floor property that boasts a cinema room and pool table.
The couple documented the renovation under the name ‘Our Bungalow Project’, before she transformed the account into its current iteration.
In 2022 she revealed she had bought Myles out of the house, saying: ‘I just bought my ex out of the house, I’m really happy about that. I’m finishing renovating that, hopefully to do another project at the end of the year…
‘I’ve got the relaunch on my fitness app at the end of this month so we are doing loads of stuff with that. I’m hoping to travel more this year with Covid settling down.’
