'Love Island's Josh Le Grove says he rejected Danica Taylor because she gave him the "ick".
Josh Le Grove rejected Danica Taylor because he was 'was getting the ick'
The ousted contestant admitted that "certain immature" aspects of Danica's personality left him cold and he decided to end their burgeoning romance, after returning to the main villa with her from Casa Amor.
Speaking on the 'Reality with Will Njobvu' podcast he said: "Maybe just too much energy for me right then. I thought 'this isn't going to work for me on the outside, so I'm looking for something that's gonna work on the outside.
"In there you're taking intimacy out of the equation, so you need to be able to chill with that person and not get bored.
"I didn't get bored, but I felt like I was clashing a little bit, and I was getting the ick a little bit. Nothing bad, just certain bits... listen, she's a beautiful girl."
And Josh also rejected claims he only used Danica to get to the main villa.
He said: "No, I've been asked that question a lot, if you speak to any of the Casa boys they'll tell you that.
"I said 'if I get in [ to the villa] I get in, if I don't, I don't'. On the outside I have fun so when I went in I was like 'I need to be with someone I can chill with on the outside."
Speaking after his eviction from the villa, Josh said he wished he had given his relationship with Danica a better shot.
He said: "I feel like what I’d seen physically and on a personality level, it was Danica I had my eye on.
“It was more about getting in there and seeing what the vibe was like with them. As well as being attracted to her (Danica) – I like the confidence and the fact she gave it back a bit. She would hold her own, she had an opinion on something and would stick to it.
“I feel like if I had the chance to do it again, I would put my immature ways aside and try and give it a proper shot with Danica. I feel like I slipped back into my old ways and got scared and then tried to pursue something else.
“I feel like maybe I could have given it a better shot and then decided but I feel like although it turned out the way it did, it was a good lesson.”
