It’s been two weeks since Millie Court and Liam Reardon were crowned Love Island winners and now that the final Islanders are back in the UK and out of quarantine, all 37 of this year’s contestants (with the exception of Jake Cornish) reunited for a one-off Aftersun special last night.
Although most of the Islanders seemed happy to catch up with their co-stars after weeks apart, one person who was less than impressed with the reunion was Shannon Singh – the first of this year’s dumped contestants, who was booted from the villa just 48 hours after arriving.
After making a swift exit from the reunion, Shannon branded the show a “f--king waste of time” on her Instagram story and also revealed she’d turned down the opportunity to attend the after party with the rest of the cast.
“I’ve got a few people asking me why I’m not going to the after party, and I love a party as you’ve all seen on my stories,” she told her followers.
Shannon, who recently rekindled her romance with DJ ex-boyfriend Ben Sterling, sarcastically added, “Bed and Dominos or the Love Island after party. Let me think…”
There seems to be no love lost between the Scottish model and the show after she became the fastest Islander to be dumped in Love Island history.

1 of 16Chloe Burrows
Chloe may have caught all the boys' attentions as evidenced in a recent explosive episode, but you can see she's always been a stunner from this uni halls pic taken way back in 2015.
2 of 16Faye Winter
Faye has certainly nailed this classic Instapose in this snap from 2019 - the hair, tan and Adidas bodysuit are all on point and a sign of things to come.
3 of 16Brad McClellan
A quick glance over Brad's insta and it's clear he uses it primarily to document his fitness journey. This snap from 2017 is from before it all began.
4 of 16Kaz Kamwi
Kaz was already a fashion blogger before she entered the Love Island villa, and so her first photo is appropriately professional looking (boo).
5 of 16Jake Cornish
Finally, a properly old photo! You can tell that Jake was already going to the gym when this photo was taken with a mate back in 2013.

PS. Enjoy this bonus pic of baby Jake with none other than footballer Wayne Rooney.

When he was a teenager, Hugo played Cricket for England's Physical Disability team.

PS. Baby Hugo for your viewing pleasure x
9 of 16Aaron Francis
Like Kaz, Aaron was already trying his hand as an influencer before he signed up to Love Island and so most of his photos are pretty glossy, but scroll down far enough and we found this photo of him seemingly winning an arm wrestle against Somoan Rugby Union player Many Tuilangi.
10 of 16Toby Aromolaran
Toby's not giving anything away with this sultry selfie from 2018, other than perhaps that he's heading off on his holidays, judging by his passport and boarding pass. He doesn't look that excited about it though, does he?
11 of 16Sharon Gaffka
In case you missed it, Sharon used to compete in beauty pageants and was Miss UK 2018. Here she is from the Galaxy pageant that same year.
12 of 16Liberty Poole
It looks like Liberty has always been a big fan of the finer things in life - as well as a blonde hair extension or two - judging from this snap with a pal from 2019.
13 of 16Liam Reardon
Viewers couldn't believe that Liam was only 21 when he entered the villa, but here's proof that Liam looked 30 way back in 2018 (regular teenaged boy for reference).
14 of 16Rachel Finni
This photo of Rach taken on a night out was posted in 2017 but captioned, "2 Years Ago ud83dude2b#CanILookLikeThisAgainPlease", so we can assume it's from way back in 2015.
15 of 16Millie Court
Proving she's always been a fan of posing up a storm in a bikini, we're majorly jeal of Millie's 2018 holiday to Cannes. Ahh, holidays - remember those?
16 of 16Lucinda Strafford
Right, we can't actually believe this 2018 photo of bombshell Lucinda - have Love Island checked her I.D.? Is she old enough to be on the show?
Speaking after the reunion, she said, “That was a f-cking waste of time, but I went. Miss 48 hours gang.
“Gonna cuddle in bed with a Dominos and celebrate that Love Island is over.
“I ain’t bitter, I’m glowing. What a waste of time. There was really no need for me to be there but was great to see everyone.”

Love Island 2021 star has the best response to ‘gay’ rumours
Another Islander who was conspicuous in their absence from the after party was Jake Cornish, who didn’t turn up to the reunion at all after falling ill.
At the start of the programme, Laura Whitmore revealed Jake was too sick to attend as she told viewers, “So, sadly Jake can’t be with us this evening as he isn’t feeling very well. But get well soon and sending you lots of love.”
However, fans were less than convinced by the excuse and took to Twitter to insist that there must be another reason after he quit the villa just days before the final follow his emotional split from Liberty Poole.
“Lool Jake we know you ain’t sick,” tweeted one, while another wrote, “Jake didn’t want to face the music!!!”
