Love Island trophy hunter Ollie Williams admits he's been dishonest as he leaves villa

Trophy hunter Ollie Williams admits he's been dishonest as he come to terms with leaving the Love Island villa.

The 23-year-old landowner and heir to the Lanhydrock estate gathers the boys round to tell them his decision to leave in an emotional episode tonight.

Speaking about his time in the villa, Ollie says: "Coming in here and getting to know Paige the last few days, it's made me realise something quite big.

"Paige is obviously the first girl that I've gone through the motions with or anything like that since my last girlfriend.

"What it's made me realise is the fact that I've still got massive feelings for her and I'm being dishonest to myself, I'm being dishonest to Paige and I'm being dishonest to you boys and everyone else.

"Anything that I carry on with in here is just going to be fake."

The first to question Ollie on his last-minute decision is Callum, who asks him: "What are you weighing more towards?"

And Ollie tells his pals: "Leaving."

But Connor isn't convinced by Ollie's threat to quit and tries to persuade him to stay.

"This is a once in a lifetime [experience]. You might just be having a bad day mate," Connor tells Ollie.

But the reality TV contestant admits he's been thinking about it and feels it's the right decision.

Fellow contestant Callum wades in and tells Ollie he doesn't want him to go away and regret the decision, but it seems the decision is made.

A clip from the Beach Hut shows Ollie debating the scenario in his head.

He confesses: "My brain is saying, 'Do this, do this', but my heart's just being like, 'Mate, you're telling yourself a lie here. Your heart lies elsewhere'.

"I think, that feeling, it's constantly in the back of my mind, in the back of my heart."

Later in the episode, Ollie tells Paige and the other Islanders his decision to leave.

He tells Paige, who he is in a couple with: "Getting to know you has been so, so lovely and you're such a lovely girl, because you're the first real girl I've started to get to know since my last girlfriend.

"That's sort of made me realise that going through the motions with you and whatever, I've realised that I still have feelings for my last girlfriend."

Paige replies: "Oh, Ollie! You cannot help how you feel."

Further on he adds: "I've got to leave. I'm sorry. I feel like I've wasted your first couple of days."

While in the Beach Hut Paige says: "It was a bit of a shocker, but you know, he’s done the right thing."

The Islanders have a group hug and say their goodbyes as he leaves the villa.

*Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2
