Love Island’s Rykard Jenkins urged to report nightclub attack to the police after spending all night in hospital
Reality star was left blooding and bruised following the fight outside of Opal nightclub and now he’s considering going to the police
LOVE Island star Rykard Jenkins' pals are urging him to speak to the police following a vicious brawl last night in London.
Rykard claims he was attacked by Kem Cetinay’s pals outside Opal nightclub on Thursday evening.
He was at the event to help the Essex barber to celebrate the launch of his Boohoo Man collection.
Earlier today The Sun Online exclusively revealed the shock moment Rykard was set upon by a group of men.
The pictures proved that Kem was not involved in the brawl.
Friends of Rykard have confirmed to The Sun Online they're pressing him to call in the cops to deal with the incident.
A source said: “Rykard wants to forget it ever happened but his mates are telling him to call the police.
“At the end of the day, he was set upon by a group of blokes and they gave him a nasty kicking.
“Rykard doesn't want to cause a fuss but his friends are adamant he should ring the police.
“Those men know who they are and they should be punished for what they've done to him.”
Kem has denied any involvement in the attack, which Rykard claims started after he was accused of flirting with the Love Island winner’s girlfriend Amber Davies.

Kem said in a statement: “I have just woken up and seen all this madness.
“I am literally so gutted about this situation that took place outside the club.
“Firstly that someone got hurt but secondly that my name got dragged into something which I had absolutely nothing to do with myself… the launch was the biggest night of my career which I spent with Amber and my family undertaking press and interviews.
“The situation will be dealt with by the club and I hope all is resolved but it’s upsetting that this violence has been used on my night with my family around me.”
As fans quickly tweeted him messages of support, Kem thanked them for not assuming the worst.
He added: “Thank you guys for still supporting and defending me as it's so easy to jump conclusion and assume what you hear is true.”
He told his followers: “Me & @KemCetinay have spoke & cleared up the misunderstanding.
“Just got off the phone to @ItsRykard we are friends just like we was before, what happened is disgusting.. I was not involved myself.
“But I will make sure it's dealt with as it's not acceptable and I won't let things like that happen and ruin both me and @ItsRykard night.”
Rykard responded: “Appreciate it mate. You're a good kid. Just be careful who you have around ya because you don't want them ruining things. Love.”
