Love Island star defends actions following dumping after cheating accusations
Love Island's Remell has hit back at cheating claims as he defended his decision to stick with Alima after he spent a few days away at 'The Sleepover'. The latest episode saw the viewers vote for their favourite boy and favourite girl, with the two islanders with the fewest votes getting dumped from the villa.
Remell said that he wasn't surprised that he was chosen to leave and admitted to taking a 'risk'. Opening up about his connections, he said: 'Despite me having what seemed to be a good connection with Poppy, my heart was telling me that I had to see it through with Alima.
"The dynamic with Poppy was more what I'm used to on the outside. But building up slowly with Alima made me realise that that's important.'
Remell continued and said that while he 'didn't necessarily have to share the bed and kiss outside of the Truth or Dare game', he acted how he would have done on the outside and was 'being true' to himself.
Defending his actions, he said: 'There was never a conversation with Alima about being exclusive, we hadn't had that chat and hadn't spoken properly about boundaries either.'
Alima was not pleased with Remell's actions while he was away and called it off straight away. Reflecting on the experience, he said: 'As soon as I came back from The Sleepover, I was ready to speak from the heart. But when I realised that she was hurt, I learned that it was a lot deeper than I originally thought.'
He added: 'If Alima and I had had a conversation about boundaries, it would have made a difference. Communication is important and I'd do my best to change.'
Remell said they didn't leave things on the best of terms, but that he would be open to having 'conversations'. He said: 'Things were left a bit sour. The reality is, the woman that was opening my heart and turning me into a lover boy is never going to truly know how I feel about her.
"I was ready to tell her everything once I came back to the Villa, but because the conversation didn't end well, we didn't get to properly talk. We're both stubborn so it was hard to see eye to eye.
'I would be open to a conversation, but if she's not open to it then it's fine. It was hard for us to talk in the Villa because I felt a bit disrespected and put my guard up.'
Elsewhere in the latest episode, Megan was voted as the least favourite girl and was sent packing despite getting to know Conor.

Love Island fans says one Islander is the biggest ‘game player' in villa after they spot drop major clue
LOVE Island fans accuse Islander of being "biggest game player" in the villa after spotting telling clue. Viewers are convinced Love Island contestant Dejon is "playing it safe" with Meg - and only in it to win it. 5 Dejon was branded a "game player" after last night's episode Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 5 Sparks flew between Billykiss and Dejon on their date Credit: Shutterstock Editorial Last night saw Dejon get a text saying that a new female bombshell named Billykiss was ready to make herself known to him and Conor. They headed to a beautiful location with stunning sea views to get to know the her over a glass of bubbly. The 28-year-old content creator from Dublin had a lot of flirty banter with Dejon and seemed to have a lot of common, such as family and spirituality. Dejon told her: "You're really beautiful you know," and asked her if she would move to London for him, to which she replied: "If you were serious, yeah." Later in the villa, Dejon filled in the boys saying: "Yeah, she's a proper nice girl bro. Like, mad sweet... yeah she's a pretty girl as well. Her body's ridiculous." A curious Harrison asked: "What's the chat saying, good?" Dejon replied: "Yeah, good chat, to be fair. She's confident. She's in unbelievable shape." Meanwhile, Meg told the girls: "I feel like Dejon is going to be very into her, yeah." However, fans reckon that Dejon will stick this "his Meg" just to stay in the game. Taking to the Instagram comment section, one fan said: "When does his head never turn? He chickens out cos he wants to play it safe… with 'his Meg'" Love Island villa rocked as two hot new bombshells make surprise entrance Another added: "He won't go for her even if he likes her. He's sticking with Meg for the wrong reasons, I believe." A third penned: "Dejon is playing hard for that money." A fourth wrote: "He's not interested in Meg. He wants prize money and fame." A fifth predicted: "I don't think he will go for her, as he knows sticking with the same girl will get you in the final!" Earlier today, The Sun exclusively revealed how tonight's Love Island will see two Islanders get dumped in another brutal vote. A source said: "Execs continue to throw twists and turns into the series and no one saw this one coming. "The cast were reeling after this shock move and one ousted Islander in particular will be much missed.' A first look clip showed Meg convinced that the new bombshells are going to "steal" another islander in a couple. Should she be worried?

Love Island's Megan blames fellow islanders for her treatment of Tommy as she admits regrets over behaviour
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island's Megan has blamed fellow Islanders for her treatment of Tommy, as she admitted to regretting some of her behaviour in the villa. Last week Megan, along with Remell, was dumped after the public were asked to choose their favourite girl and boy. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Megan was dumped from the Love Island villa in the public vote last week Credit: ITV 5 The Islander opened up about her behaviour in the villa Credit: TikTok / @ondemandents 5 Fans were unhappy about her treatment of Tommy Credit: Eroteme 5 Megan came under fire after she dumped Tommy for Conor Credit: ITV Megan had a tense final week in the villa. Fans were left unhappy after she ditched Tommy, who she had been with from the start, and move on with rugby lad Conor. The pair shared secret snogs on the Terrace behind smitten Tommy's back, infuriating viewers at home. Fans also turned on 'nasty' Megan after she appeared to be gleeful when Conor and Tommy rowed over her, even calling it "brilliant". But now the brunette stunner is keen to clear the air on what REALLY went down in the villa between the three of them. Speaking to On Demand Entertainment on TikTok, Megan was asked if she would do anything differently, and she said: "I'd taken a breath." Appearing to blame her fellow Islanders for her actions, she said: "But you know when you hear something and you just see red, and I saw red for about four days, and then obviously, while I was seeing red, Connor swooped in, so it was just a really bad time. "And of course you only see the hour out of the 24, so I know I've left things on good terms with Tommy, we obviously didn't have a lot of time on our side. "Well, I like to think of time as if the essence, we could have been mates. But no, like, it was fine. When you see red like that, someone needs to sit you down and say, girl." Continuing, Megan said: "I felt like the girls were seeing where I was coming from, so I think that's why I got more wound up, because I was like, well if they're all seeing, why isn't the gentleman? OG Love Island girl and 'cheat' boy kicked out of the villa after explosive rows over secret kisses "But when you're in there, emotions are high. When you hear he said, she said stuff, it just winds you up even more." 'FIX' CLAIMS Megan was dumped last Friday, but following her elimination some fans accused bosses of "fixing" the public dumping, in a bid to get rid of her after all the Conor and Tommy drama. The Irish star found herself in the bottom three girls, along with then revealed as Shakira, Megan and Toni. And the bottom three boys in the firing line were Ben, Harry and Remell. 5 It came after she was in the bottom three girls, along with Shakira and Toni Credit: ITV Shockingly, Megan and Remell received the least votes from the public and were then immediately dumped from the villa. But Love Island fans came up with a theory about why Megan was the one to be dumped from the villa out of the girls. They think because of the public turning on Megan over the last few days, bosses were keen to see the Irish beauty leave the villa. Taking to social media, one said: "I'm guessing the producers didn't like Megan. "I bet they wouldn't have allowed the other Megan to go, had she been bottom. "Sometimes they let the public votes decide other times they let the Islanders choose... either way it's very very manipulated." Another echoed this "Basically the producers were happy to let Megan go, otherwise they'd have had the Islanders pick. "They would've 100% saved Megan. "I think they wanted to get rid of her once they saw her unhinged and abusive behaviour."
