Love Island All Stars Islander tried to quit the villa THREE times but none of it was shown

It’s been revealed a Love Island All Stars Islander tried to quit the 2025 villa a huge three times, but none of this struggle was shown on TV.

Samie Elishi joined the show as a bombshell, and thought her chances on the show would look good – as she’d messaged Luca before. However, Luca was coupled with Grace, and by pursuing him Samie was centre of lots of fights and drama.

Speaking on previous Love Island winners Millie and Liam’s podcast, Samie said she tried to quit the All Stars villa three times, as her experience got worse and worse.

“My first day I was so upset I was literally outside crying all day to the producers. I was like what am I doing here?,” she said. “I was like, ‘I don’t like anyone. Are there any other bombshells coming in?’ And they kind of told me, but not told me, that I was the last bombshell to walk in. And then I was like, oh this is just long. So now I knew that I was just going to be used to mess with couples.”

After she was dumped from the villa, Samie spoke out about how much she struggled. She revealed she cried “all day” when she was on the show, and called her experience “f*cking dreadful.”

Samie had a lot of tough chats in the villa, and during these her eyes appeared red and puffy. Whilst we never saw her crying, people on Twitter were quick to assume she was upset by her situation, and that was why her eyes looked that way.

In a TikTok after being dumped, Samie confirmed this. “After seeing how puffy my eyes were on national TV after crying all day,” she said in the post. In the video, she lip-synced to a sound that said: “Well that, was f*cking dreadful.”

Samie also added that Grace still hasn’t apologised for branding her the “snakiest Islander” in the villa. She said she took Grace aside when they met at the Brits, but Grace didn’t apologise for what she said.

“She fully knows about the hate, but she didn’t apologise for calling me the snake,” Samie said. “She just said that’s how I felt, so we just kind of left it as that.”

Ouch.
