Connor Durman won’t hold "any grudges against" Sophie Piper.
The former ‘Love Island’ hunk – who was booted out of the villa during Monday night’s (27.01.20) episode – has opened up after his partner decided to stick with the ITV2 dating show and look for love after his exit.
After his departure, Connor said: "I wouldn’t want her second guessing things and regretting anything.
"Whatever she does, I’m happy for her… It’s still early on in the villa. Her head could be turned.
"I want her to enjoy the experience. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing. I wouldn’t have any grudges against her. I do just want her to be happy."
And the star also hinted he would wait for Sophie outside the villa because he’s "in no rush to meet someone else".
He added: "I’d say [to her], ‘Follow your heart and I want you to be happy, and just enjoy the ride’. Whatever happens, happens.
"And if we end up meeting up, let’s just see what happens. I just want her to be happy, really."
After Connor left, Sophie broke down in tears as she considered leaving the villa with him, rather than staying to try and find love with someone else.
Whilst crying to Shaughna Phillips about the shock dumping, she said: "It’s just a s**t situation. I don’t know what to do. I feel like if he was picked [to stay], he would have left with me. It’s just so s**t."
Ultimately Sophie decided to stay in the villa, and with the introduction of new hunk Wallace Wilson she might find love again sooner rather than later, as the personal trainer selected her as one of three girls to go on a date with.
