Love Island's Dejon says he's 'reflecting on his actions' towards Meg since being axed from the villa and admits she's 'stuck by me more than I deserve'
Love Island's Dejon Noel-Williams has admitted he has been 'reflecting on his actions' since leaving the villa with Meg Moore on Sunday night. The hunk came under fire for his behaviour towards Meg, after keeping her around but continuously flirting with every bombshell that entered the villa. While they are now officially boyfriend and girlfriend, they had a tumultuous time on the series - which this year has even been acknowledged in a Women's Aid statement. The charity accused some men on the show of 'showcasing toxic male behaviour' as well as 'gaslighting' and 'manipulating'. Dejon and Meg's departure from the show was decided by the rest of the Islanders, with their reasoning for axing the couple now striking a chord with him. They narrowly missed out on a place in this year's final and were sent packing from the TV mansion during Sunday's penultimate show. Speaking on Love Island Aftersun, Dejon, 26, told Maya Jama: 'It was interesting the way that we got dumped, because I feel like the decisions were definitely… you kind of heard from both people's point of view. 'Some people saw bad things and some people saw good things. So it definitely made me in this time of being like reflect on my actions over the villa. 'Coming in, I just thought, I'm on Love Island. I'm gonna explore connections, I'm gonna be flirty, I'm gonna see what my strongest connection was. 'But in the back of my head, I always knew it was Meg, so I definitely see why that kind of… there's a lot of opinions about that, and I feel like I could have explored connections with being less flirty and stuff.' The professional footballer added: 'I definitely understand why people have their opinions regarding that, and even there's times that, honestly, she's stuck by me, and she tells me how she feels, and she stuck by me more than more than she should. More than I deserve a lot of times.' Dejon and Meg were dumped from the villa after this year's singletons all returned in a major format shakeup. Maya arrived into the villa to deliver the brutal twist during Sunday night's show. It didn't come as a surprise to Dejon as he candidly confessed: 'We definitely expected it. We were ready to go home, to be honest.' Speaking to Maya Jama on Aftersun, Dejon said the Islanders' opinions on his relationship 'definitely made me in this time of being like reflect on my actions over the villa' Dejon said that Meg has stuck by him 'more than I deserved at times' following backlash from Love Island fans Meanwhile, ahead of this year's finale, bookies have revealed that a shock couple have emerged as the favourites to win just hours ahead of the live final. Odds have revealed that Harry and Shakira are tipped to win the ITV2 dating show despite the pair having had a turbulent time in the villa. According to Ladbrokes, the couple, who have only been together a week, are tipped to win by a massive 10/11. This latest twist has seen the new favourites' odds tumble from 6/1 over the weekend. It was with Yasmin and Jamie, but they have gone out to 7/2 from 11/8 as the frontrunners. Longtime favourites Toni and Cach are still 7/4 from 6/4, while Angel and Ty prop up the betting at 18/1.
