Love Island's AJ regrets not splitting Liam and Millie up after being dumped

Love Island's AJ Bunker says she would have split up Liam and Millie if she knew Hugo was going to "friendzone" her.

AJ was dumped from the villa alongside Danny Bibby after the public had been voting for their least favourite boy and girl.

Toby, Teddy, Danny, Chloe, AJ and Lucinda were the six islanders all at risk of being dumped, but unfortunately, AJ and Danny were sent packing.

Although she spent some time getting to know Liam, she decided to couple up with Hugo, but he called it quits after he revealed he wasn't "100 per cent there."

Now, after leaving the villa she says she wishes she'd pursued Liam - her other interest - if she'd known how Hugo really felt about her.

Speaking after her exit, she said: "This is the thing, if I could go back now knowing Hugo wouldn’t make much of an effort with me, I’d probably have coupled up with Liam.

"But Liam and Millie, seeing them in person, for me they were quite a strong couple.

"I feel like Liam and Millie are a really lovely couple. So I’d say them two. I think they could potentially win it.”

Talking of Hugo, she said: "Everything he said was this is the kind of guy I want to be with. He has the right morals.

"I have certain expectations in a relationship and Hugo meets those expectations.

"I don’t feel like I need to teach him how to be a good boyfriend.

"He has the right morals, knows how to respect a woman, he’s really funny, very comfortable to be around. I just feel natural around him.

"As time went on, it was like OK maybe we’re not so compatible. But the first few chats, he was approaching me and I really liked that. I like that he came up to me, made me feel comfortable.

"He’s a good-looking guy and really lovely. That’s all you want – a nice guy in your life! I’m done with idiots.”

Speaking about whether they'll meet up outside, AJ said: “Well, he friend-zoned me now, so I’d be happy to meet up with him as a friend.

"But I feel like, I put in quite a bit of effort and I guess we’ll just see when he comes out. I don’t think he gave me too much of a chance to be honest or made that much effort.”
