However, fans were treated to a reunion special on Sunday where all 37 Islanders – bar Jake Cornish, who was poorly – found themselves in the same room once again. There were a load of awkward moments, including when Millie and Liam coming face to face with Casa Amor’s Lillie Haynes for the first time since reuniting and cutting comments from the show’s voiceover legend Iain Stirling and host Laura Whitmore.

She continued, "I just feel like the show has completely mugged me off, if I’m completely honest. Last night I was really angry as I sat about for nine hours all day. They mic’ed me up, briefed me on questions and then completely disregarded me, which was fine.

"I just thought, after how they dumped me, I thought I’d get some better treatment."

Why was Jake Cornish not at the Love Island reunion?

Since leaving the villa Shannon has rekindled her romance with her DJ ex-boyfriend Ben Sterling.

The pair originally split just a few months before the Scottish model entered the Love Island villa, but have now reunited after coming face to face at a festival earlier this summer.

Shannon revealed to MailOnline, “Ben and I bumped into each other a few weeks ago at a festival and we have decided to see where things go.

“Nothing is official but we are really enjoying each other's company right now and not putting any pressure on things.”

Although she’s insisted it’s early days, Shannon recently shared a snap of herself cosying up to Ben with the caption, “Find your happiness folks and make sure you keep it 🖤.”
