Love Island's Shannon reunites with ex after failing to find romance in the villa

Love Island's Shannon Singh has reunited with her ex-boyfriend who she split up with prior to going into the villa.

The Scottish model only had 48 hours on the ITV2 show and has now announced she's giving things another go with DJ Ben Sterling.

Speaking to MailOnline Shannon said: "Ben and I bumped into each other a few weeks ago at a festival and we have decided to see where things go."

"Nothing is official but we are really enjoying each other's company right now and not putting any pressure on things."

And it seems as if the couple really are enjoying their time together as Shannon shared a pic of her beau with the caption: "Find your happiness folks and make sure you keep it."

The couple began dating in 2020, but split in March this year, a month after jetting to Mexico for the DJ's birthday bash.

After making her debut on Love Island this summer, Shannon was booted from the villa within 48 hours of her entering the show.

The model, 22, walked into the villa on day one and coupled up with Aaron Francis before bombshell Chloe Burrows walked in and stirred the pot.

In a surprise re-coupling, Chloe went for Aaron and left Shannon on her own before she received a text confirming she would have to pack her bags and leave the villa.

However Shannon didn't seem to fazed by her departure later admitting that she wouldn't have dated any of the male line-up if she was still in the villa..

Speaking to Glamour, Shannon said: “All the boys in there now are not men. They are boys. I don't know what they've done with the line up this year!"

While not on the show long the brunette beauty revealed she has been bombarded with offers from companies offering her facial fillers since leaving the villa.

And she took to Instagram to vent her frustration at being targeted by cosmetic treatment firms on social media.

“I can’t help but find it a tiny bit cheeky when I’ve got loads of like, filler places and all this rubbish in my DMs, like ‘do you want filler? Do you want facial augmentation?

“No!” she exclaimed.

In a recent interview with Mirror’s Features Editor Jessica Boulton, Shannon said that she wanted to use her platform now she’s out of the villa to raise awareness of the “dangerous” effect social media is having on teenagers.

“I want to talk about social media and Instagram, everyone thinks social media is real life, it's not. I just really think it's... although I really love social media, I can't help but think it's getting more dangerous to younger people,” she explained.

“If you're a teenager you should be out climbing trees, playing manhunt, egging people's windows - I used to do that,” she laughed.

“[Just] Be out having fun, don't sit on an iPad, don't sit on Instagram, don't think that getting a million followers is important,” Shannon urged.
