Love Island's Andrada Pop has hit out at Dejon Noel-Williams after her shock exit from the villa.
The Irish stunner and her beau Ben Holbrough were dubbed the least compatible couple duing Monday's (July 14) instalment of the ITV2 romance fest.
After the series' second public vote, Andrada and Ben found themselves with the fewest fan votes, leading to their abrupt villa departure in a jaw-dropping turn of events.
Reflecting on their sudden exit, Andrada shared: "It was shocking because we didn't even gather round the Firepit, we just received the unexpected text."
She contested the idea that she and Ben were the weakest link, feeling their connection was on the up: "I didn't think that Ben and I were the weakest couple. I felt like mine and Ben's bond was getting stronger and stronger.", reports OK!.
Despite the mixed emotions, she's chuffed to be heading home with Ben: "It's bittersweet but I'm happy to be leaving with Ben."
Andrada entered the fray as one of six Casa Amor bombshells, aiming to snag one of the lads.
Her heart fluttered for both bachelor Ben and Dejon, who's paired with Meg Moore.
On her tricky love triangle, Andrada remarked: "It's hard to like two people and crack on with them both under the same roof."
She stressed the importance of chasing what you desire: "You have to be selfless and go after what you want. I had different connections with them both."
She saw Ben as her male counterpart but Dejon as forbidden fruit: "Ben is the boy version of me but Dejon was like the candy that you couldn't have."
As time ticked by, she envisioned a future with Ben beyond the show: "As time went on, I could see myself more and more being with Ben on the outside."
Andrada gave Dejon props for his savvy approach to the game: "Dejon is a very smart and calculated guy who knows how and when to use his words.
"We would have a flirty conversation wherein he'd ask me a question, I'd answer it, then I'd return the same question but he wouldn't answer because it would make him look bad.
"When we got back into the main villa, he was still open but then Meg got on his back and was upset then he shut it off."
"I don't think that he shut it off because he wanted to, he did it because Meg told him so.
"I definitely feel like things would have been very different if she wasn't there."
When asked about the potential longevity of Meg and Dejon's relationship outside the villa, Andrada expressed her doubts: "I think Meg really likes him but I question his intentions towards her. Is he playing a game and going for the win, or does he actually like her?".
"To be honest, I don't see them lasting on the outside with how he carries on. I feel like his true colours will come out. There's only so long you can uphold this persona."
Love Island airs Sunday to Thursday on ITV2 and ITVX at 9pm
