Molly Marsh was "so shocked" after being thrown off 'Love Island' by text.
Molly Marsh was dumped from the villa
The 21-year-old actress had been one of the favourites to win the ITV series but was dropped in a twist viewers described as "brutal" on Friday (23.06.23) night after returning Islander Kady McDermott - who came third on the 2015 show - stole her love interest Zachariah Noble, 25.
After Zach switched allegiance to Kady and hugged her, the contestants were sitting outside the villa when Molly's phone pinged and she received a tet telling her to pack her bags.
The shocked star told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: “When I got the text, everyone was so shocked. No one expected it. My eyes went straight to the word ‘bags’ and I thought: ‘Oh my goodness, I’m going.’
"I saw Zach’s face drop. Seeing Kady and Zach standing in front of me together, my heart dropped. I didn’t want to see it, but I understood it needed to happen and I trust in the timing of the universe."
Molly has vowed to "wait for" Zach in the outside world but admitted regretting not having a heart-to-heart before she left the villa.
She added: “I knew it was clearly my time to go and if something good will come from me and Zach then it still will.
“If he finds something with Kady then that’s that. But everything happens for a reason.
“I will definitely wait for him – I want to carry on where we left off, because there’s still unfinished conversations.
“I wish I’d spoken to Zach to say: ‘I’ll be waiting. I really want this to carry on’. But no words could come out of my mouth. I was so speechless.”
'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.
