Rival gangs of thugs with metal bars brawl outside Love Island winner Kem Cetinay's new restaurant in terrifying video

Gangs of thugs wielding metal bars massed outside Love Island star Kem Cetinay's new restaurant in Romford before launching into a huge brawl.

The two groups were seen in dramatic footage on Saturday night rushing at each other armed with the weapons.

It was so alarming police were called, but the yobs managed to escape before they arrived.

Restaurant Array is owned by Kem, 26, who has recently appeared on Celebrity Masterchef.

The violent scenes exploded on Saturday night in what appeared to be an organised meet to fight.

Diners could be seen by their cars looking on in horror as the brawling began.

Police went to the scene to investigate the fight but the culprits had fled by then

It is not clear what had sparked the incident, or if the location was significant.

The restaurant is owned by Kem who won Love Island with ex-girlfriend Amber Davies back in 2017.

He was one of the breakout stars of the series and has maintained his fame since it aired.

This year's winners Liam Reardon, 22, and Millie Court, 24, have even visited the restaurant on a date.

A Met Police spokesman said: 'Police were called at approximately 00:45hrs on Sunday, 29 August to reports of a disturbance involving a large group of people in Shepherds Hill, Romford.

'A witness reported one of those involved was in possession of a metal bar.

'Officers attended but those involved had left.

'No reports of any injuries; no arrests.'

Kem and Amber have recently fronted a new six-part series about mental health on ITV2.

The network partnered with charity CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably) to open up the conversation surrounding well-being on the show named The Full Treatment.

The series was part of ITV's drive to address mental health in the wake of three suicides linked to its flagship show Love Island.

Sophie Gradon, 32, and Mike Thalassitis, 26, both took their own lives after appearing on the reality dating programme, while host Caroline Flack, 40, died by suicide in February last year - the day after hearing she would be prosecuted for allegedly attacking her boyfriend Lewis Burton, 27.
