Montel McKenzie was left 'disappointed' after he and Leah Taylor were dumped from Love Island
The pair were sent home on Thursday night (13.07.23) after they finished second bottom of a public vote to determine the least compatible couple, with Catherine Agbaje and Elom Ahlijah-Wilson - who were eliminated on Wednesday night (12.07.23) - topping the vote.
Montel admitted it is "bittersweet" to have left the villa, but he and Leah want to make a go of things on the outside.
He said: "It’s a bit disappointing with the way that we left but I am happy because I am leaving with Leah and a strong connection.
"It’s hard to be sad when I am leaving with her.
"We have full intentions of making things work and we will try to see each other as much as we can. Being outside is obviously different to being in the Villa but we have been pretty plain sailing.
"Our communication level is high and we’ll be able to get through anything that comes in front of us."
Leah was also keen to spend more time in the villa, but will look back on 'Love Island' with fond memories.
When asked how it feels to have left the dating show, she said: "Mixed emotions but I’ve had such an incredible experience.
"I went in there to find a connection and I’m leaving with one, which is such a positive.
"I wish we had a bit more time together in the villa but overall it’s been such an amazing experience."
'Love Island' continues tonight at 9pm on Virgin Media Two and Virgin Media Player, proudly sponsored by Virgin Media Mobile.
The reality show can also be seen on ITV2.
