It comes after Aaron defended himself against shocking allegations his former co-star Courtney Stubbs made about him in 2023.
The pair were coupled up for a short period of time on season three of the Australian series in 2021, and after he appeared on the UK series, Courtney made some damning claims about him.
In a video she posted to TikTok, Courtney said her experience with Aaron on the show left her wanting to ‘bawl her eyes out’.
She becomes very emotional as she tells her followers about how he ‘disrespected’ her during their time together on the show, claiming he body-shamed her and mocked her cystic acne.
However, since exiting the Love Island UK villa in South Africa, he has spoken out about the claims, saying that it never happened and that he isn’t a bully.
Aaron has even claimed that ITV producers said they would back-up his claim, however, no official statement from the station has been released.
In the video, Courtney said: ‘[Aaron] has gone on to Love Island UK and first thing he wanted to do was in his promotion was drag me.
‘He bullied me, belittled me, he skin-shamed me, he body-shamed me. He would constantly tell me to f**k off [and] shut up the whole show, and made it his personal vendetta against me to make sure every single guy felt the same way he felt about me.’

Speaking to the Where’s Your Head At podcast with Anna McEvoy and Matt Zukowski, Aaron claimed that he never bullied his former co-star, and never made comments about her body or skin.
He said: ‘The video frustrated me because I didn’t do those things, we just didn’t get along, but I never bullied you. Do you know what a bully is? The definition of a bully isn’t not getting along with someone.
‘Saying in my interview that she was my least favourite isn’t dragging you through the mud it’s me being honest and being asked questions about my journey and who I was coupled up with, it is not dragging someone through the mud or bullying.
‘We just don’t get along, not everyone gets a long with everyone, so it was very like… what the f**k?’
The reality TV star said he did repeat his preferences while on the show, such as wanting ‘a girly girl’ and someone who ‘goes to the gym and looks after themselves’.
Co-host Anna then asked Aaron if maybe because of these comments Courtney felt he was making a dig at her and that the whole situation is a ‘miscommunication’.
He said: ‘I wouldn’t call it a miscommunication. I had arguments with Courtney on the show, we never saw eye to eye, that’s Love Island, you argue with people.
‘But, they are my preferences, I still want a girl who takes care of themselves and goes to the gym, but I never once told her that [I like a girl with clean skin] I would have never said I don’t like a girl because of their skin.’
