Indiyah Polack has broken her silence on claims she ‘cheated’ on ex Dami Hope after a video emerged on social media of her kissing her Inside co-star Marlon Lundgren Garcia.
The Daily Mail revealed on New Year’s Day that Indiyah and Dami, who met on Love Island in 2022, had quietly called it quits.
A spokesperson for Dami, 29, later issued a statement stating the relationship ended due to a ‘breach of trust’.
On Sunday, a video circulated on TikTok of Indiyah passionately kissing the American Twitch streamer at London hotspot Duck and Waffle.
Indiyah could be seen immediately clutching her face in shock following the steamy kiss, which allegedly happened on December 3.
In a statement shared on Instagram on Sunday, Indiyah wrote: ‘I am aware of the video that has been shared online.

Internet star Marlon is believed to have met Indiyah whilst filming Netflix reality show Inside in the autumn.
Daily Mail has contacted Indiyah, Dami and Marlon’s representatives for comment.
Dami confirmed his split from Indiyah after three years together on January 9.
The brief but telling one-line statement read: ‘Dami Hope and Indiyah Polack are no longer together, having ended their relationship shortly after Christmas due to a breach of trust.’
Their split comes just days before the launch of Love Island: All Stars, where Indiyah will return as host of The Morning After podcast alongside Amy Hart.
The Daily Mail understands Dami will not be returning to the villa as a bombshell as he is still dealing with the fallout from his breakup and not ready to find love.
A source added: ‘Dami is dealing with this privately and has no plans to issue a statement on Instagram.

‘He has been avoiding social media as he comes to terms with the circumstances of his split from Indiyah, which came as a complete shock.
‘Entering the All Stars villa is not on the cards, it’s not his style.’
In 2022, Indiyah and Dami missed out on the £50,000 prize, losing the final to Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti, while Gemma Owen and Luca Bish finished as runners-up.
The pair famously dubbed themselves the ‘heartbreakers’ following their explosive Casa Amor confrontation, which produced the iconic line: ‘May the best heartbreaker win.’
Despite briefly recoupling with other Islanders, they reunited and went on to enjoy successful careers, with Indiyah becoming a regular presenter on Capital Xtra and hosting last year’s MOBO Awards.
A source told the Daily Mail last week: ‘Indiyah and Dami have sadly decided to part ways after three years together.
‘It’s been a difficult time for them both, they built their lives together, and no one expected their relationship to end so suddenly.
‘They have no plans to enter the Love Island: All Stars villa. Indiyah is focused on co-hosting the podcast, while Dami isn’t interested, knowing it would be an unforgivable level of disrespect.’
Indiyah appeared on the Love Island spinoff show Aftersun during the summer series, alongside host Maya Jama, with whom she has become close friends
Their breakup came as Dami shared a throwback of 20 pictures reflecting on his 2025 – none of which featured Indiyah
The pair met on Love Island in 2022 and moved in together later that year, with friends saying Dami would never appear on the upcoming All Stars series, describing it as too ‘disrespectful’
Their breakup came as Dami shared a throwback of 20 pictures reflecting on his 2025 – none of which featured Indiyah.
He captioned the post: ‘A year full of memories, milestones, losses and growth you can’t always explain out loud. I’ve hit goals I once only dreamed about, yet I still catch myself asking, “Why don’t I feel content?”
‘Maybe it’s because every goal I reach becomes the starting point for something bigger.’
He added: ‘Not everything ends clean, but it ends clear. 2026 is about peace, progress, motion and exercising my free will daily.’
The couple were last seen together celebrating Indiyah’s December birthday, but they did not share any photos as a pair over the Christmas and New Year period.
