AXED Love Island hunk Kyle Ashman took part in “misogynistic” videos with a pal where they secretly filmed women.
The lad was struck from the dating show line-up earlier this week after it was revealed that he had been held and questioned by police over a machete attack at a wake.

Now it has been revealed that he had a joint TikTok and YouTube page with a friend called Fin Musker.
Whilst the joint pages have been wiped of content, a source has told The Sun that the videos involved them “picking up girls and filming them without knowledge”.
The source added that the videos “displayed misogynistic behaviour towards women”.
When approached about the videos, Kyle said: “I do not recognise these claims.”

Some content still online shows Fin and Kyle out on the town, kissing women and speaking to them in bars.
It raises further question marks about ITV’s vetting process for its reality shows.
Earlier this week Kyle was sent packing from Majorca after The Sun alerted show bosses that he had been arrested on suspicion of a machete attack and was only cleared by police last month - meaning he would’ve been in discussion with authorities whilst auditioning for Love Island.
ITV chiefs sent him home from Majorca, plunging the show into chaos ahead of Monday’s launch.

A source said: “All of the online content had been cleared so may not have come up on surface level checks, but for this kind of show far deeper trawls should be in place.
“ITV has steered clear of OnlyFans stars in the past and Kyle’s link to one - particularly taking part in joint content of a misogynistic nature - is surely not in keeping with Love Island being a family show.”

ITV declined to comment.
Ashman, 23, was one of two quizzed over a brutal machete attack at a wake in Stafford in February but was released with no further action.
Sources said the channel was unaware of the incident and he was not flagged as part of contestant checks.
The victim, 38, nearly lost his arm. He was rushed to hospital for emergency treatment and kept in for around two weeks.
Another mourner was glassed, one struck with a metal pole, and two people run over by a car during the 15 minutes of terror at a social club.
Ashman, who lives in the town, was one of two men to be nicked on suspicion of affray then bailed.
Police confirmed that after the matter had been investigated the pair were released with no further action only last month.

Speaking after he was axed from the show, he said: "I'm not a bad guy, honestly. I'm a normal guy from a normal place. An opportunity arose to find love and I grabbed it with both hands, and it's been taken away from me.
"I've seen the support pages and, who knows, maybe I'll get the chance to go on Casa Amor or as a bombshell, go back in and show you who I really am. Show you I'm not a bad guy. We'll see."
