Love Island’s Michael pictured grabbing Joanna by the neck to pull her in for a snog at Kisstory festival – after they denied getting close
LOVE Island’s Michael was pictured grabbing Joanna by the neck to pull her in for a snog at Kisstory festival this weekend – despite denying they were close again.
The former Islanders put on a passionate display in the street after making up following their bitter fallout in the villa when Joanna got dumped in a cruel twist and Michael refused to leave with her.
Joanna, who had previously vowed to not get back with Michael, had denied the pair were kissing after The Sun Online revealed they were “all over each other” at the festival.
In a video online, she said: “It’s of me and Michael so-called kissing. I just want to make a point, we weren’t kissing.
“[There are pictures] of me and Michael so-called kissing. He was saying something in my ear, I found it funny. Can’t remember what it was. I think one thing with me and you’ll get to know this the more you get to know me, is I don’t hold onto hate and negativity.
“For me, it’s been a lot easier for my journey and me getting over the Michael situation, is me letting go of whatever happened and letting go of hate.

“That’s just how I am and what I do and in the end, I’m happier and I feel so good everyday and that’s purely because I’m letting go of the negativity and anything that was upsetting me at the time.”
The couple met during the Casa Amor twist with Michael dumping Amber Gill for Joanna, only to decide not to leave with her when she was voted off the show earlier this month.
His decision saw a rageful Joanna brand him a "snake" while grabbing him by the face and insist in subsequent interviews she wouldn't take him back.
But she had a U-turn over the weekend, with sources telling us: "Michael kept kissing Joanna on her head and cheeks and pulling her close.
"She kept holding his hand and leaning into him, she definitely seemed to be warming up to him again."
