British Athletics has confirmed it was unaware sprinter Theo Campbell was joining reality TV show Love Island.
The 25-year-old has appeared on the ITV2 programme this week after reaching the 400 metres final at the British Athletics World Championships Team Trials at the weekend.
A spokesman said: “British Athletics was unaware of Theo Campbell’s participation in this reality TV show.
Campbell also competed for the British Athletics men’s 4x400m relay team at the IAAF World Relays in the Bahamas earlier this year.
Love Island is a show which takes single participants to a villa in Majorca and they try to pair off to win £50,000.
