Scottish Love Island contestant Shannon Singh has become the first person to leave the villa.

In a shock dumping last night, the 22-year-old from Fife was told to pack her bags after her man was stolen by new girl Chloe.

She said: “I am a bit gutted. [It was] very short lived! Surreal, but I’m obviously very grateful I got the opportunity. I’m not coming away fuming from it, I’m coming away grateful.”

The Glenrothes model was in the Mallorcan villa for just two days when she received the shock message to leave.

Will Shannon Singh return to Love Island?

Fans of the show were outraged by the dumping, with many hoping the season’s ‘it girl’ will return later in alternative villa Casa Amor or as a ‘bombshell’.

When asked if she would go back into the villa if she could, Shannon said: “Yeah – why not?”

Shannon has done an exit interview with ITV, but could this be a ruse? She has not posted on her Instagram account since leaving the villa.

Former contestant Amy Hart tweeted: “Shannon will get her phone back tomorrow…so if she’s not on her insta in the next few days she’s obvs in another villa.”

Shannon had been coupled up with Aaron Francis, who chose her on the very first day.

“I rated that he [picked me],” said Shannon, “The minute he walked through that door, his eyes did not get off me. I could feel it.”

But their relationship did not last long. She said: "We had a few chats and it was a bit like trying to get blood out of a stone with him. He’s a really, really nice guy but he’s just a bit too laid back for me.

"A lot of the girls were like, ‘You’re not giving it time’. But he agreed with me later, which was a good thing. I think when you meet someone there’s got to be a little bit of a physical… something to get you excited.”

‘The guys were too pretty for me’

Shannon was building a reputation for having high standards when it comes to men – having 'savagely’ rejected a kiss from Toby Aromolaran.

She said: “I wanted someone to walk through that I thought, ‘Here we go, I’ve got a good shot at this’ but I didn’t find that.
