RONNIE Vint has brutally snubbed his Love Island co-stars and claimed he ‘wasn’t there to make friends’.
Ronnie’s outburst comes after he and girlfriend Harriett Blackmore were dumped from the All Stars villa just 24 hours before the final.
The pair were picked to go by a group of returning islanders, yet Ronnie isn’t bothered by his former co-stars turning on him.
Speaking hours after the couple were shown the door, Ronnie has even admitted he speaks to just FOUR guys from last summer’s Love Island, which he first appeared on.
Ronnie told Love Island’s Morning After podcast: “For me, you meet these people on the show, are they really going to be your mates after?
“I probably speak to four people from my series, boy-wise.”
Ronnie did described the twist, which saw the ex islanders each pick to dump one couple from the least popular three, as “brutal”.
However, Harriett is more bothered about the girls turning on them than Ronnie is with his guy ‘friends’ doing the dirty.
Harriett also said on the podcast: “Some of them voted us the most strongest couple. So it’s like, okay then. To do that is just weird to me.
“I think the girls are who I struggle with the most. Especially Tina and Samie. I just thought they were my really good friends.
“It just awkward, isn’t it?”
Fans were left stunned on Sunday night when Ronnie and Harriett were dumped just hours from the final.
Eleven 2025 islanders returned to the villa in South Africa and were told to kick out either Ronnie and Harriett, Sammy Root and Elma Pazar, or Catherine Agbaje and Omar Nyame.
Ronnie told the boys it was a “sore” way to go and he and Harriett were left raging at many of the reasonings given by their ex co-stars.
Most of the dumped contestants cited the fact Harriett and Ronnie split weeks after leaving the villa last summer as the main reason for kicking them out – something that the couple rejected as a valid reason.
Fans were also furious with the decision to kick the couple out, with one writing on social media that the Love Island app “needed a Harriet and Ronnie were robbed button”.
There are now five remaining couples in the villa.
They are Luca Bish and Grace Jackson, Ekin-Su and Curtis Pritchard, Catherine and Omar, Elma and Sammy as well as Gabby Allen and Casey O’Gorman.
This year’s winning couple will be crowned in a nail-biting final TONIGHT.
