Rheo, who ended up getting sent home, has revealed she didn't want to do Casa at all.
During a Q&A with fans today she said: 'I wanted to be flown home when they told me l was in casa.
'I just knew it wasn't going to be for me.I don't fight for the spotlight and certainly don't fight over a man.'
She continued: ' I don't regret it but l'm annoyed that that was my love island experience, because realistically I won't get to do it again and l feel as though I was just a part in a big machine for Harry's storyline.'
During her brief stint on the show she was seen chatting to Harry, but admitted she also got to know Conor but it wasn't aired.
At first, Harry tried to stay respectful to Helena Ford by sleeping on the daybeds.
But he was later seen snogging Rheo in bed and made fans feel sick when he told her that he would give her an orgasm.
Teasing sex in their future, he also remarked: "I think we'll maybe see sooner than you think."
Viewers were convinced that Harry would bring her back to the main villa and were shocked when he decided to ditch her.
Speaking after her exit, Rheo said: She replied: "to be honest, I was as shocked as the rest of the nation, like, it's Harry, to be fair, what did I expect?

"But I was actually a bit shocked with him, because we did get deep. Harry has a deep level."
She continued by branding him a gameplayer saying: "I think he wanted to repair his reputation there.
"Just go in, go with Helena, and hopefully get to the end. I know he's got a game plan."
Harry did get back with Helena when he returned but just days after going exclusive with her he decided he wanted to be with Shakira.
Helena has since been dumped from the island and he is heading towards the final with Shakira.

Oasis fans at Wembley gig where man died question alcohol use and security
Oasis fans who witnessed a fatal fall at Wembley stadium during a reunion concert on Saturday have questioned the security setup and the amount of alcohol being consumed in the stands. The Metropolitan police said a man in his 40s died after suffering injuries consistent with a fall at the end of the band's performance at about 10.19pm on Saturday night. On Monday, the Met announced that the Health and Safety Executive, the body which investigates accidents, had been informed. Witnesses who were 10 ft (3 metres) from where the man landed said he fell from the upper tier of Wembley's block 511, on to the aisle between block 211 and block 210. Emma, 40, from Liverpool, said the man landed next to a row behind her and her partner, Mike, only five seats away. 'I've been feeling awful ever since – I can't stop thinking about him,' she said. 'It happened directly behind our right shoulders. If he had fallen where someone was sitting, it would have killed both people.' Within seconds of the fall, several staff began trying to perform CPR on the man. Mike said: 'It's quite traumatic, seeing people just doing CPR on someone frantically. I haven't been able to focus on anything else.' Both Emma and Mike, who declined to give their full names, urged Wembley to review safety and alcohol sales at the stadium. Emma said: 'So much beer was being thrown throughout the whole concert. I was surprised they allowed people to bring drinks into the stands. It made the floor really slippy.' She added: 'They should put the security guard at the bottom of all the aisles too, and permanently station them there to stop people falling off.' Mike, who works in health and safety, said: 'Beer was coming from everywhere. I got hit by an empty cup right on the side of the head. If it had been full it would really have hurt. We started getting beer on us from the moment Oasis came on stage.' John, 52, a delivery driver from Oxford who also declined to give his full name, saw many fans leaning over the balcony from block 511. He said: 'There were loads of people who just kept going down to the front and leaning right over. One guy was stopped but after that no security came down. The security was so lax. There's a rail and a small guard but it did make me think someone could quite easily get knocked off there.' John added: 'It seemed unsafe. If they'd have actually posted a security guard at the bottom of those steps, where people were continually going, it would prevented the fall.' He was also surprised by the level of drinking at the gig. 'The amount of alcohol that was sold on the night was quite shocking. I constantly saw people with cardboard cup holders full of pints,' John said. Last week the Times revealed that Oasis fans were consuming an average of 250,000 pints a night during the Wembley gigs. Wembley Stadium has been approached for comment. In a statement on Sunday it said: 'The police have asked anyone who witnessed the incident to contact them.' Saturday's concert was the fourth of seven sold-out reunion gigs at Wembley Stadium. Despite the tragedy on Saturday, the fifth gig on Sunday went ahead as planned. The sixth and seventh gigs will be in September.
