A DUMPED Love Island star has taken a swipe at a villa girl and revealed chats with another co-star that ‘producers never aired’.
Viewers have seen plenty of fireworks in the ITV2 dating show’s latest series.

However, one face removed from the drama is scaffolder Shea Mannings.
The 25-year-old from Bristol was dumped from the villa in previously aired scenes.
Taking to Instagram, Shea addressed his time on the show – while answering fans’ questions.
During a Q&A in his story, one fan asked the villa alum: “Any regrets from going on the show?”
Shea replied by writing: “Picking Yas in the recoupling”, accompanied by a laughing emoji.
A game of beer pong saw Yasmin Pettet – who was coupled up with Shea – lock lips with Harry Cooksley and Dejon Noel Williams.
But it got even more awkward when Shea was tasked with shaking the hand of the islander he believed was playing the biggest game.
His co-stars were stunned when he reached across to shake Yasmin’s hand.
He added: “Maybe she’s put it on me to try and stay in the villa.
“I’m not sure, we’ll have to see how that goes.”
Yasmin didn’t deny Shea’s shock claim and simply replied: “Fair enough.”
Elsewhere, another follower asked the ex-islander: “Why did you never pull Shakira for chats?”
He answered: “We had quite a few chats. The producers just chose not to show that for whatever reason.”
While appearing on spin-off Love Island: Aftersun following his elimination, Shea reflected on having been attracted to Shakira.
