LOVE Island's first evicted 2025 star has opened up on her brutal dumping.
Fans of the matchmaking series were left furious when stunner Sophie Lee was given the boot on a savage day two twist.
The former fire breather and dancer, who was left scarred for life following a terrifying accident, saw her Love Island journey end after Shakira Khan, 22, chose her partner Harry Cooksley, 30, to re-couple up with.
Earlier in the episode, Manchester model Shakira was seen flirting up a storm with all the male contestants after being left single when American bombshell Toni, 24, stole her man Ben, 23, during an explosive series opener.
Yet after she and Harry - who she dubbed "Hazza" in a flirty chat - partnered up in front of the firepit, Sophie was left single and ordered to leave the villa immediately.
The influencer, 29, has now broken her silence on her two-day villa stint and said of her antics: "I just was myself, fully. My silly, wonderful and little bit cautious (but that’s just me) self."
She added of Harry - who stood up last night to show his interest in Shakira: "As long as he’s happy.
"I know for me, what I make of my life is down to me.
"I don’t regret anything I’ve done. I did everything that I wanted to do. And summer’s not over!"
Her speedy show stint was a knock on effect of American Toni's arrival in the Mallorca villa on day one.
Yet Sophie has no bad blood with the bombshell arrival.
She added of her experience: "It’s Love Island - even the people that think they’re safe aren’t! If you’ve not mixed and mingled, or you’ve mixed and mingled too much… all of a sudden you might not have a strong connection and you could leave.
“Basically, you can’t be a slow burner and you can’t be a fast runner… in this case you’ve got 24 hours. What are you going to do?
“Toni is SO sweet, though.”
The show's couples following the first dumping are Toni and Ben, Meg and Dejon, Shakira and Harry, Helena and Conor, Alima and Blu and Megan and Tommy.
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
