'I haven't been giving 100% Liam'
After Gemma rejected him in favour of the Italian stallion, Davide, and being unable to impress any other girl enough to spark a real connection, the Masters graduate called it quits. He announced his decision after gathering all the Islanders to the fire pit to break the news. He explained:
Obviously we all came here for the same sort of reason, but I haven't been giving 100 per cent Liam. I know what 100 per cent Liam is and I'm miles off that. Trying to find someone you leave the villa with that you love, that's the goal.
Before adding:
But when you're not feeling that, it makes it a very hard sort of time to find that. I've been thinking long and hard, it isn't spur of the moment, so I've made a decision I'm going to leave the villa.
Fear of rejection
Right before the eighth series began airing, Llewellyn had admitted that his biggest fear in partaking in the show would be to be rejected. He explained that that would be very hard for him to deal with as putting himself in such a vulnerable position on national television would be devastating. He said:
Everyone wants to be wanted, and wants to be picked. So it’s the feeling of not being picked is a nerve-wracking thought for me. That feeling of being rejected, it's never a nice feeling.It puts you in a vulnerable position and that's in front of the whole world.
And added:
And you’re vulnerable to everyone. I think that’s a position I don't think anyone would want to find themselves in.
