Love Islands Connor takes a swipe at Sophie after she doesnt leave with him

LOVE Islands Connor Durman took a swipe at Sophie Piper after she didnt leave the villa with him.

The coffee bean salesman got the boot last night after his fellow contestants had to choose who to axe between him and Sophie.

And despite insisting he wanted her to be happy, he said he had a gut instinct she wasnt going to leave with him.

When quizzed by Laura Whitmore on AfterSun if he thought she would walk when he did, he admitted: Yeah I did have a gut instinct that Sophie would stay but I hope in a weeks time if she has no connection with anyone that she does leave.

I will be waiting for her.

He added: But I understand because its such a cool experience in that villa.

Sophie refused to leave the villa with Connor

However he doesnt seem to convinced he will be with Sophie again as he later admitted: I will wait for Sophie and see how things pan out but I dont expect her to wait around really.

Discussing his shock exit, he said: “It’s took time to process but Im happy with how I left and I’m leaving on a good note. As sad as it is.

“It was horrible but at the same time I had it in my head that whatever was going to happen I was going home.”

The 25-year-old also admitted that watching Sophie in the villa is “hard” but that he is choosing to remain positive, adding:

Connor had been slammed by fans for his controlling behaviour in Love Island

“She got picked [for the date], she didn’t choose, so I am staying positive.”

New boy Wallace has since picked Sophie as one of his three dates, and viewers will see that tomorrow night.

But Connor is still unaware of the latest development and didn’t get to see Sophie scream with excitement when she got a text.

He had previously acknowledged that Sophie’s “head could be turned” but that he wanted her to “enjoy the experience”.

“Its a once in a lifetime thing. I wouldnt have any grudges against her. I do just want her to be happy,” he said, adding that he will be waiting for Sophie on the outside: “Im in no rush to meet someone else.”

He said he will wait for Sophie on the outside

Essex native Connor had been unable to hide his jealousy during his time in the villa, and lashed out at Sophie for her passing comments about the hot new bombshells.

Just days later, he erupted again when Sophie goaded him over another two bombshells and joked they were her type on paper.

He then came under fire from Love Island fans who claimed he was “controlling”.

The comparisons came in full force during the truth game – with producers cutting to Connor glaring at welsh model Connagh and Sophie Piper every time they answered a question.
