No, you’re not having deja vu, Dylan Towolawi really is back once again in the Love Island Australia villa after he was booted off last year alongside Sophie.<\/p>\n

So, let’s remind ourselves of exactly what happened last time he was in the villa and some of the dramatic post show drama he was involved in.<\/p>\n

On the show Dylan and Sophie were both voted off together, but broke up almost immediately afterwards.<\/p>\n

Dylan told 9Entertainment<\/a>: “We left the Villa with good intentions and then I went back to Sydney, Sophie went back to the Gold Coast and I realised it was probably never going to work.”<\/p>\n

However, following his departure from the Love Island Australia Dylan Towolawi revealed that he was rekindling his villa romance with Mimi.<\/p>\n

Mimi revealed that the pair ended up reconnecting on a night out after the show, explaining<\/a>: “We were just talking \u2013 and then I just kissed him.<\/p>\n

“We learned that he can\u2019t be emotional without physical, and I can\u2019t be physical without emotional, so that\u2019s kind of where that all worked out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dylan explained that he “saw a completely different side to Mimi that nobody else knows”, saying that the two had been almost inseparable since getting back together.<\/p>\n

But as you’ve probably guessed by the fact Dylan Towolawi is once again back in the Love Island Australia villa, their relationship didn’t exactly go to plan.<\/p>\n

The two then started massively beefing on TikTok, with Mimi insinuating that Dylan cheated on her, whilst Dylan claimed the pair weren’t even exclusive. It was all very petty.<\/p>\n

Dylan then admitted: “If I could take back what I did back home, I\u2019d take it back in the morning. If I could take back meeting that girl in the show, I will take it back right now, trying to ruin my life over this crazy, crazy, crazy work.\u201d Yikes.<\/p>\n

It seems the pair officially called it quits at the start of the year, which would line up with when Love Island Australia was filmed, so hopefully things go a bit smoother in his next relationship.<\/p>\n
