Love Island exit interviews
Four contestants were dumped from the Love Island villa last night.
In their exit interviews, they talk about the game players in the villa, favourite highlights and their biggest regrets.
Read what they had to say below:
Jordan
The islander says he met some "unreal friends" during his time in the Love Island villa.
He describes the environment as intense and compares it to a "gold-fish bowl."
Jordan left the villa shortly after an explosive fight with his now ex, Anna.
It's after he expressed his feelings for India before speaking to Anna first.
He gushes over his ex, "Me and Anna got on really well, she’s a beautiful girl. She’s got a lot of things I love in a girl..."
Despite these feelings, he couldn't help but think something was missing, "when someone else came in, it made me sit back and think.."

Highlights
One of his favourite villa moments was the Ministry Of Sound party which saw Craig David take to the decks.
He also really enjoyed the games especially the dog challenge and the Men At Work challenge.
"The Harry Potter quotes were my favourite. It gets boring at times so you find your own fun!"
No regrets
Despite the massive fight he found himself in with Anna, the islander has no regrets.
"I was attracted to Anna from the start... When I made her my girlfriend, it was because all the signs were there for me to make her my girlfriend."
He admits, "I’ve still got feelings for her, she’s a great girl and she is beautiful."
"I just had this feeling which made me sit back and think something was missing, I just felt like I had to voice it."
"Everything I have done has been based on the way I was feeling."
"In that environment, your emotions can change quite quickly."
"I didn’t go about it in the right way but everything I’ve done has been because of what I’ve been feeling. No regrets whatsoever."

Jordan believes there are some people playing games but he doesn't elaborate further.
One of the most challenging parts of villa life for the islander was not having any music.
"In terms of living with other people, I’ve been to university and I’m quite social so I loved that part of it."

The 24-year-old thinks Tommy and Molly-Mae will win, "They’re the strongest couple in there."
"All the couples are strong in different ways and there are big personalities in there. Anything could happen at the final."
His feelings for Anna
The model says while he can appreciate that Anna is a "beautiful" and "great" girl, he felt there was something missing.
"I do think that because I was bouncing off India in the last couple of days..."
"It made me realise there could be something that me and Anna were lacking."
He explains further, "When the whole thing blew up last night, it did raise a few red flags with me with the way things escalated."
"I like to sit down calmly and find out what the problem is."

Despite feeling she was in the wrong for reacting the way she did, he also understands he, "didn’t go about things in the right way."
"But I feel like I don’t want to get in heated arguments because that’s not me."

Jordan feels he's had the full Love Island experience, "I’ve done everything. Challenges, the shopping trip, Harry Potter quotes and I’ve been to the Hideaway!"
Because of this, "for the first time at the dumping yesterday, I felt ready."
He thinks the remaining couples all deserve to be there, "Me and Anna aren’t together anymore, so it wasn’t right that we were still there."
"My best mates are Michael and Danny and they’re already out, so I get to see them."

Anna
The Vakili sister admits there were a lot of ups-and-downs for her in the villa.
She says one of her lowest moments was the row she had with Jordan but at the same time is grateful for the friends she's made
"I’ve had fun and made friends with people I never would meet on the outside."
Anna's favourite part of the experience was building friendships and doing the challenges.
"You’d never do things like that on the outside."
Highlights
Despite their recent fallout, she loved when Jordan asked her to be his girlfriend.
She says that, "was a great moment at that time and when we all jumped in the pool after, it was so fun."
Anna says she has no regrets and wouldn't have done anything differently, "I have no regrets with who I coupled up with."
"With Ovie, I just didn’t fancy him in that way."

She says of Ovie, "I can appreciate that he is a good-looking guy but when I got to know him a bit better and I spent more time with him, I just wasn’t attracted to him."
The islander admits, "Our personalities just didn’t match."
Game players & challenges
Anna thinks there are game players in the villa but she won't say who.
She goes on to talk about the most challenging aspects of villa life, "The most challenging thing is being away from family and friends."
The islander found it difficult to adjust to situations that just wouldn't happen on the outside.
"For example, living with a guy that has hurt your best mate. Stuff like that."
"But the number one hardest thing is being away from friends and family."

Anna thinks Molly-Mae and Tommy will win but she also thinks they have competition in Anton and Belle, "because Scotland is backing Anton!"
While they're all loved up in the villa, she admits she's, "so disappointed in [Jordan] and [she's] hurt by him."

She goes on, "I’m shocked. I don’t have anger towards him, if anything I feel sorry for him."
Despite having enjoyed her time on the show, she's adamant she wouldn't go back, "I’d done my time."
The only mistake Anna feels she made was her inability to keep her thoughts to herself.
"I feel like I am very opinionated person and I want to tell people to their face what I think of them."
"But sometimes I feel like I shouldn’t be like that and I should keep it in!"
Chris
The Harry Potter fan says he had the best two weeks of his life in the Love Island villa.
He's so grateful for meeting, "so many amazing people in there. So many amazing laughs."
Chris says he went through a period of self discovery where he learned a lot about himself.
There's not one thing he regrets, "I was in there being me. I’ve made loads of friends for life."
"It’s the hardest I’ve ever laughed. It was an amazing experience all around."

Highlights
His favourite part of the experience was the challenges, "I’d be in there 24 hours and I had to go out there dressed as a sailor!"
"I just embraced it and got on with it. It was so funny. All the challenges were quality."
He loves that the tasks, "bring everyone together. Loads of banter always comes off the back of the challenges."
"Meeting Harley was obviously a highlight as well!"
No regrets
The islander has absolutely no regrets following his villa exit.
"I would do that a million times and I would do everything as I did."
He does however, recognise that he made some "schoolboy errors."
One in-particular took place during a challenge where he insinuated he and India were meant to be together.
This didn't go down well with his partner Harley.
Despite all the fun he's had, he does say the environment was so intense and that was the most difficult part.
"You go in and you have no idea how intense it’s going to be."
He admits, "You don’t have much time to think. You act on gut instincts."

He reveals, "It’s an environment that breeds a lot of drama but it also breeds a lot of friendships, relationships and jokes."
"I can’t knock it for a second."
Winner prediction
Chris is certain Molly-Mae and Tommy are going to win, "When you’re actually in their presence, you can see it."
"They live in each other's pockets, they’re two peas in a pod!"
He gushes over how perfect they are for each other, "They’re at the same stage in their lives, they live really close together."
"They’ll go the distance!"
Chris left the villa while he was just getting to know Harley. He's not sure yet if they'll work on the outside.
"It’s really early doors for us... It could be a thing but we need to spend more time together in a real-life environment to know whether anything could work."
Harley
The islander describes her time in the villa as emotional and incredible.
She says her favourite part was when Jordan asked Anna to be his girlfriend, "and then we all jumped in the pool!"
"It was a really nice memory. It was also the night I had my first kiss with Chris."
If Harley could do it all again, she wouldn't do anything differently.
She admits, "I stayed true to myself and did everything that I wanted to do."
Challenges
Similar to Chris, she felt villa life was "intense" and that was the most difficult part of being on the show.
"You’re around people 24/7 and this isn’t a normal environment to be around when you’re getting to know someone."
She makes a good point, "They see you at your best, and at your worst and you only want them to see you at your best!"
Just like everybody else, Harley thinks Tommy and Molly-Mae are going to win.
"I’m really backing Ovie and India as well."
When it comes to her relationship with Chris, she says they're, "going to see how things go on the outside."
"He’s so lovely and he’s so sweet. So, I’m excited to see where it goes."

Harley wouldn't go back into the villa, "I’ve done my time and I’m very excited to go and see my family."
"I stayed true to myself."
