Anna Vakili has revealed a married Arsenal football player previously slid into her DM’s.
Confessing the footballer has his children plastered all over his socials, the former Love Island star, 34, spilled the tea on the secret message.
In an interview with The Sun, she said it was ‘really bad’ and had ‘no idea’ what the Premier League player was thinking.
She said: ‘I had an Arsenal player slide into my DMs, which was really bad because he was married with kids and literally he has it all over his Instagram as well, so I don’t know what he was thinking.’
Anna also revealed Millie Bobby Brown once messaged her on Instagram to praise her after she appeared on Love Island.
The reality star also confessed Blue’s Lee Ryan once tried to get in touch.

She said: ‘The weirdest DM from me on a personal level would be Lee Ryan from Blue because I grew up with him being my biggest crush.
‘I would have his picture all over the walls in my bedroom, I’d write him letters when I was young and then being older and him messaging me was just such a weird surreal feeling.
‘I didn’t reply, I still haven’t met him.’
Last year, Anna revealed that she was asked to post bail for her sister’s ex-boyfriend, after he went ‘on the run’ following her stint in the villa.
The former pharmacist appeared on the ITV2 show in 2019, and after her seven-week stint in the villa, received the surprise news from her sibling that her then-boyfriend was in trouble with the law.
Sharing the hilarious story on the Not My Bagg podcast, Anna revealed Mandi asked her to pay the bail, joking she ‘had the money’ after her Love Island stint.
Anna told host Joe Baggs: ‘I came out of Love Island and I’m like, ”Mandi, where is your boyfriend” and she says ”he’s on the run”
Joe replied asking: ‘You didn’t think about going with?!’

The former pharmicist appeared on the show in 2019, and after her seven-week stint in the villa, received the surprise news from her sister that her boyfriend was in trouble with the law
Anna then responded: ‘Honestly, she was on the run with him at some point. I’d just come out of the villa after two months of being in there – this was the last thing I needed. And she was like ”Anna, I need you to post him bail”’
Mandi then quipped: ‘She had the job? She had the money!’
Anna went onto share that she went to the Crown Court with her sister to support her boyfriend, and Mandi eventually ended their romance.
She rose to fame in series five of Love Island in 2019 where she became a fan favourite for her no-nonsense personality.
Her sister Mandi gained publicity at the same time as she ran Anna’s social media as well and hilariously reacted to the Villa’s goings-on.
