The Love Island lot leaving the villa and claiming they were misrepresented is a tale as old as time but it appears that series 11's Sean Stone may actually be different from his villa stint.
If you're reading this then you definitely know all the Sean drama - he and Joey Essex wouldn't stop banging on about Mimii Ngulube and Josh Oyinsan's relationship. Honestly it got boring very quickly.
But it turns out that one of Sean's fellow Islanders has been shocked at how he was portrayed on the show and that person is Ciaran Davies.

During an exclusive chat with heatworld he admitted, "Unfortunately everyone's had a bit of stick from the public, but especially Sean.
"We're in that villa and yes, me and Sean we had our rows with each other, but we're best mates, and he's honestly the nicest person I think I've ever met. So then coming out and seeing it all, I was very shocked with that."
Nicole Samuel the added, "Everyone says this but we live in there 24 hours a day, you only see the drama - that's TV.
"So you don't see what's actually going on all day. So I think it's quite hard because they [the producers] obviously want to get the drama bits in there, so you're going to be perceived in a certain way."

She went on to say, "I feel like a couple of moments I've been like, 'If you'd actually seen the whole day of that you'd understand why [something has happened]' but you can't fit it all in. It'd be boring watching us all day, every day.
"So I understand there's going to be different perceptions of every person in there, but I think everyone was so lovely. Every single person who walked through the door."
Ciaran then added, "No matter what rows I had with anyone, everybody is a nice person. I couldn't say 'This person is a bad person' because they're not."

Cuuuuute.
And it turns out that Ciaran isn't the only Islander who defended Sean because just a couple of weeks ago we caught up with Konnor Ewudzi and he explained why Sean was behaving the way he was in the villa.
Justice for Sean anyone?
