Ollie Williams releases statement after leaving the Love Island villa

Ollie Love Island

Ollie Williams has officially left the Winter Love Island villa.

Just days after Winter Love Island kicked off for the first time, we already have our first shock exit.

Ollie Williams has left the villa, claiming that he still loves someone else, and that as the show is about finding love, there is no point in him still being there.

The heir to the Lanhydrock estate (seriously) issued a statement on Tuesday evening, which read: I have to be honest with myself, and everyone, that I do still love someone else…

“I have to follow my heart in this scenario and it would be wrong for me to ignore these feelings. At the end of the day, this is Love Island and it’s about finding love. If I carried on anything with Paige, or any other girl that might come into the villa, it wouldn’t be fair on them.”

Ollie had attracted controversy before he even set foot in the villa, as pictures were unearthed of him hunting large animals.

He had already coupled up with Paige Turley, who is the ex-girlfriend of music sensation Lewis Capaldi.

So much drama after just two episodes. Who’d have thunk it?
