Dumped Love Island stars Megan Clarke and Remell Mullins have spoken out after their brutal exit from the villa on Friday night. In the first public vote of the season, Megan and Remell found themselves voted as the least favourite Islanders and were dumped from the Island.
In the public vote, Megan, Toni and Shakira were revealed as the three least popular girls while Remell, Harry and Ben received the fewest votes among the boys.
However, fans were stunned when a text revealed that the decision on who would leave the villa was entirely in the hands of the public – a surprising twist, as Islanders are usually given the chance to weigh in
As a result, Megan and Remell were sent home in a shock exit. Megan was just starting to grow a connection with Conor, after the pair expressed their feelings for each other. However, their connection was fairly new as she spent the first two weeks of the show getting to know Tommy.
Speaking about her exit, Megan stated: “I’m gutted to have left because I was getting to a really good place with Conor and I’d tied up loose ends with Tommy and Emily.
She realises things can change quickly in the villa, and continued: “Me and Conor were at a really good stage. He was really upset so it broke my heart a little bit. Someone could walk in for him tomorrow and it could be different.”
The 24-year-old spoke about her dramatic ‘love square’ with Conor, Tommy and Emily. “The love square was crazy. We’ve heard of triangles but squares are insane! Emotions were constantly high and it’s ‘he said, she said’ in there. I definitely think I could’ve gone about it better but I tried to navigate it the best that I could,” she said.

“At the end of the day you’re there to do what you want to do, so it’s hard to please everyone, especially in a square.”
Megan continued: “I did do some things and apologised after but it brought me and Conor closer and I’m happy where we are. I never intended to upset anyone, especially Emily and Tommy. They’re literally gems and have been gems the whole time. It was bad of me but we’re friends now and left on really good terms.
“They’re cracking on a bit as well so we kind of did a wife swap,” she joked.
Meanwhile Remell had just called things off with Alima, after she found out he was kissing bombshell Poppy over at the sleepover villa. The 24-year-old believed his actions with Poppy and fall out with Alima led him to being voted as the least favourite boy.

He said: “I’m not surprised as I knew at The Sleepover that my decision would have repercussions.”
Speaking about his time with Poppy, Remell stated: “Despite me having what seemed to be a good connection with Poppy, my heart was telling me that I had to see it through with Alima.”
“The dynamic with Poppy was more what I’m used to on the outside. But building up slowly with Alima made me realise that that’s important.”
Although it seems he had no regrets, continuing: “I didn’t necessarily have to share the bed and kiss outside of the Truth or Dare game, however, being true to myself I’m naturally very flirty. I still acted like I would on the outside.”

Despite this, Remell said he would have done some things differently over at the sleepover villa, saying: “If Alima and I had had a conversation about boundaries, it would have made a difference. Communication is important and I’d do my best to change.”
The content creator wants to have a conversation with Alima when they are both in the normal world, as it was hard for them to talk inside the villa, expressing: “I felt a bit disrespected and put my guard up.”
