Love Island feud exposed in WhatsApp group as divide continues outside the villa

Love Island may have created lifelong friendships but it appears some are not willing to talk in a group chat, according to Anna-May Robey.

The Welsh beauty who recently appeared on the ninth series of the ITV2 dating programme was dumped from the villa on day nine after Aussie bombshells Aaron and Jessie decided to cut her time in the villa short.

But while she may have lasted just over a week, Anna is in constant communication with her former co-stars who have also returned back to Britain after leaving the villa.

Despite being a close-knit group and having a WhatsApp group chat, the 20-year-old revealed exclusively to the Mirror that some people don't reply.

She said: "We do have a WhatsApp group but it's not really been going off very much.

"Everybody's kind of gone their separate ways already – or maybe there's a divide."

Reflecting on her experience since the villa, Anna added: "I've literally spoken to most people, even the Casa Amor bombshells.

"When I was in there because I was in there for the first ten days, I feel like everybody really got along, everyone was getting to know each other – we were all friends, we were a little family.

"When I left, that's when everyone started arguing, so I think I left at a good time."

Anna admits that she's on "good terms" with each cast member but says she would spend more time with a select few now they're in the outside world.

"I'd probably spend more time with Ellie, Zara and Olivia, the people I was closest to in there," she said.

However, Anna acknowledged that while some viewers may have taken a disliking to Olivia, they only see a select amount of the recordings so the Islander's personality may not be truly shown.

The former payroll assistant said: "You can say 99 nice things and one bad and they will put the bad thing on TV.

"I feel like that's what happened with Olivia, I understand they have got to make a TV programme and you've got to have a villain in there, if everybody was nice to each other wouldn't be a TV programme.

"Olivia has a really lovely side as well – it's a shame they didn't show it on TV."

Reflecting on the recent Aftersun drama which saw Will brand Casey O'Gorman a "snake" over the Jessie Wynter "fake row", Anna-May said: "I feel like he's saying it in a jokey way but he's not joking.

"I do think he's quite irritated by it."
