'Missing' Love Island star hits back at 'not being shown on screen' as she exits show

Love Island star Jazmine Nichol has hit back after she went 'missing' from Casa Amor.

The bombshell arrived in the second villa with five other girls in a bid to tempt the original six boys, which caused carnage as Coco paired with Andrew and Summer returned to the villa with Dami. As expected, Jay recoupled and he choose Chyna.

However, fans were concerned for Jazmine when she barely appeared in the ITV2 show - with viewers joking they were concerned where she might have got to and didn't feel she was being given enough airtime.

As she returned to social media, she joked about her lack of screen-time.

"Hi guys, it's Jaz, I'm back. Just want to say a huge thank you for all of the love and support I’ve seen so far," she wrote on Twitter.

"I’m so overwhelmed with all the lovely messages I’ve seen and the funny memes! I’m excited for all of you to see my personality that was not shown on screen and the Jaz that the villa saw, this is only the start."

In her exit interview, Jazmine admitted she was "sad" to be leaving the show so soon.

"Obviously I’m sad because I wanted more time to get to know people and create connections and explore it. But also I stayed true to myself. We were all hyping each other up. Everyone was talking about each other’s bums, hyping each other up!" she said.

She also claimed her and Andrew hit it off - but none of this was shown on screens.

"Andrew was literally the first boy I saw. I just clicked instantly. He said he still wanted to get to know me, so yeah. But it wasn’t a shock he re-coupled with Coco," she explained.

Asked if she had her time again and if she would do anything differently, she added: "100% - I was so tunnel vision on Andrew from day one. So all the boys friend-zoned me because they’d bring up Andrew and say, ‘Oh you like Andrew’.

"So I wish I’d changed who I was going for. But that’s who I had the connection with."

Jazmine sparked fan concern after going 'missing' from the show, and leaving the villa after just a few days.
