Speaking to OK!, the star (who briefly coupled up with Hugo Hammond in the villa) revealed that she believed there is a divide between the 2021 finalists and all the other contestants.

After inviting all of this year's Islanders to her joint birthday party with fellow bombshell Amy Day, AJ admitted that many of her co-stars didn’t even respond - charming.

While she is still close with most of the late entrants, the same cannot be said for the other Islanders as she explained , “I invited everyone to mine and Amy's party the other day and got completely aired, so you know when you're like, 'Oh great'."

Love Island stars are engaged just months after coupling up 💍

The star admitted that she understood the finalists were busy, but was disappointed nobody even took the time to text, 'Have a good night, happy birthday'.

Speaking about who responded to her invitation, the star admitted only a few fellow Islanders messaged to apologise for not being able to make the party, while the majority "just ignored it”.

Asked if she thinks there was a divide between the finalists and the rest of the stars, AJ revealed, "Yeah I think there is, it's just because you don't see them much. I don't know if it's because they're couples and they're so happy in their couples that they're concentrating or have got a stronger bond, but I feel there's definitely a bit of a rift."

"But, I'm someone that's always gonna be nice to everybody so I'd never air anyone," AJ insisted.

AJ went on to admit that she was unsure if the couples who made it to the final felt in a “different league “ to those who left earlier like herself, or if they are just busy in their relationships.
