Love Island's Andrada slams one Islander as a 'game player' saying 'true colours will come out'
by Sandra Mallon · Irish MirrorDublin Love Island star Andrada Pop has broken her silence about Dejon after she was sensationally dumped from the show.
The Miss Bikini Ireland star has spoken out for the first time since being dumped from Love Island, and it appears there’s no love lost between her and Dejon.
The Dublin native joined the show as a Casa Amor bombshell, where she formed a connection with Ben.
The 27-year-old made it back into the main villa after Casa Amor, before eventually being dumped alongside Ben during Monday night’s episode.
In her exit interview, Andrada took aim at Dejon, and revealed why she doesn’t think his relationship with Meg will last.
“Dejon is a very smart and calculated guy who knows how and when to use his words,” she said.
“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,” Andrada explained.
“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.”
“I think Meg really likes him but I question his intentions towards her,” she continued.
“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.”
Shortly before her exit, Andrada got into a row with Meg in the bedroom, after she called her out for eavesdropping on an argument between her and Dejon.
However, the 27-year-old has insisted everything is “squashed” between them.
“She’s such a nice girl, I don’t have a bad word to say about her,” she said. “When the text came in to say that we’d been dumped, she was the first person to come up to me and hug me.”
“She told me she’d see me on the outside. It’s nice I didn’t leave on bad terms with anybody.
When asked how she felt about being dumped from the villa, Andrada said: “It was shocking because we didn’t even gather round the Firepit, we just received the unexpected text.
“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. It’s bittersweet but I’m happy to be leaving with Ben.”
“We want to see where things go because we get along very well,” Andrada said of Ben.
“There’s nothing I can fault about the guy. He’s a gentleman and treats me like a princess.”
She admitted she was “shocked” at her exit.
“It was shocking because we didn’t even gather round the Firepit, we just received the unexpected text. 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. It’s bittersweet but I’m happy to be leaving with Ben.”
And she said she is rooting for Harry and Helena to win the show.
“I’m rooting for Harry and Helena, I hope they get stronger and stronger. I’m rooting for Lauren and Harrison too but I just don’t know his intentions.
“I do feel like Lauren likes him more than he likes her because of how he’s carried on. Harrison loves a bit of attention.
“I don’t rate a lot of the ways he’s gone about things but I hope they have just been bumps in the road for them.”
