Love Island hippy Eyal Booker has let rip at his 'girlfriend' Megan Barton-Hanson. Speaking just after he and Zara were sensationally booted off the island by the rest of the villa-mates, he branded the former stripper "boring" and claimed that she had "shown her true colours".
"We didn't bring out the best sides of each other," the softly spoken curly top told Digital Spy. "We were actually quite boring and serious together. Her energy really brought me down. I am very much someone who bounces off of someone else's energy and she is quite a boring person in the villa.
"She never really wanted to get involved in anything so to some extent she really brought me down."
Speaking about the way she dumped him on the show by calling him boring, he hit back: "It was pretty gutting, I felt like a mug. I won't lie that there were elements of our relationship missing, though I would never give up so easily."
Asked if he was shocked that Megan had tried to steal Wes from Laura, he told us: "It didn't shock me that at all that she went to Wes and told him that she liked him. But then I don't think she exactly stole Wes from Laura without Wes wanting to go for Megan.
"As they say, it takes two to tango. As much as Megan was in the wrong, so was Wes. Also, Wes said things to Laura that he didn't mean, in the same way that Megan said things to me that evidently she didn't mean."
What to Read Next
Even though Wes has nicked his gal pal, Eyal isn't angry - weirdly - at the 20-year-old nuclear systems design engineer.
"I don't think Wes stabbed me in the back cos he told me all along that he thought Megan was hot," he explained. "It was clear to see they got on well. If I'm honest, I think he stabbed Laura more in the back as they had had a strong relationship until that evening."
In spite of that, Eyal thinks Wes is not all he seems.
"I think Wes might be a game-player," he mused in his soft-spoken drawl. "He said some very strong things to Laura and then he took her, used her and went back on all of that. It makes you question what his intentions are in the villa."
Former popster and model Eyal also thinks Wes should be careful as he thinks Megan may easily be distracted by another fit newcomer.
"I was surprised she moved on so quickly," he said. "She showed her true colours. She will do the same to Wes. Someone will come in who is more her type who she will be interested in and she will jump ship again."
Meanwhile, sweet but clearly clueless Zara McDermott says that she is hoping that she and Adam Collard can make a go of their relationship in the real world.
The naive love-hunter told Digital Spy: "We have left each other on a really positive note. It was devastating for both of us that I've left and he's stayed." (Er, let's see how devo'd he is after the new villamates arrive!)
"We have had such an amazing time getting to know each other, " she said. "Last night it was getting better and better. I am really looking forward to getting to know him better when he's out. Of course it's up to him what he does now in the villa.
"We are both really into each other, so I guess it will be a bit of a test with him in there, to see if he does stay faithful. But I am so happy for when he gets out and see when he gets out."
When asked the BIG QUESTION about whether or not she thinks lothario Adam will stay faithful now she's gone, she said: "We didn't really get a chance to say anything, but I think it's one of those things that doesn't really need to be said. We both know how we feel about each other. All I want is for him to come with me. But that's up to him. Let's see what happens."
We will indeed Zara!
Tune in to Thursday's Love Island to see twelve brand new villa mates burst into the island. The series airs Sundays through Fridays at 9pm on ITV2, with Caroline Flack hosting compilation show The Weekly Hot List at the same time on Saturday nights.
