Love Island's Shannon Singh was dumped 'after refusing to kiss' and 'won't be back'

Shannon Singh was reportedly dumped from Love Island because she "wouldn't play ball and refused to kiss anyone".

The 22-year-old Scottish model was thrown out of the villa after bombshell Chloe Burrows decided to couple with Aaron Francis, leaving Shannon single.

TV insiders have claimed to MailOnline that show bosses were not impressed with Shannon's willingness to be involved in the saucy games which culminated in her refusal to kiss Toby as part of a challenge.

It has been claimed that she didn't bother getting to know any of her fellow Islanders in the villa and it has been reported that show bosses will resist the clamour for her to come back in a Casa Amor twist and she will return home.

A source told them: "During her short time in the villa, Shannon didn't get to know anyone, or partake in the games properly, even refusing to kiss any Islanders.

"She had always promised to be a fun and exciting contestant, but she wouldn't engage in the way producers had hoped – and they have no plans for her to make a dramatic return."

A Love Island spokesperson has denied this though, and told MailOnline: "This is simply not true."

Before the show started, Shannon had boasted that she can have "sex up to eight times a day" but she later admitted feeling "anxious" about how quickly romances are expected to move while in the villa.

Shannon said ahead of the series: "I am not the type of girl to go and chuck themselves at guys; it's not my thing. I am actually a bit anxious and apprehensive about how the villa is really fast paced and you are chucked into getting to know people straight away."

Her departure from the villa was one of the quickest in the show's history, with her being given the boot just 48 hours after arriving.

Shannon was unhappy with the speed of her exit but believes she was probably the right person to leave.

She said after leaving the show: "I am a bit gutted. Do you know what, out of all the girls, I think it is fair it's me because I didn't have any emotional attachments to the guys, but all the girls had tiny little things [going on]."
