Naturally, Grace picked Joey which ultimately led to Samantha being the only singleton in the villa. In a shocking twist, a text revealed that the TOWIE fan had been dumped from the villa.

Samantha Kenny reveals who was more her type than Joey Essex

The shocking moment left everyone in the villa crying as no one was expecting a brutal end like this. Many viewers also blamed Joey’s antics in the villa for a fan-favourite being dumped. After her exit, Samantha revealed that she was ‘devastated’ to be leaving but was ‘excited’ to see what the future holds for her next.

Samantha confessed that had she known what she knows now about Joey, she would have done things differently, reports The Sun. Especially knowing there was someone else more her type in the villa than Joey and that’s - Ronnie Vint. Samantha said:

When it comes to Joey, I think if I knew what I know now, I perhaps would have done things differently.

This comes after Joey Essex’s ex hinted he was on the show to further his career. Samantha added:

Ronnie’s more my type than Joey was. But I feel like Ronnie didn’t pursue anything with me because he didn’t want to go up against Joey.

Ronnie Vint and his Love Island journey

Meanwhile, Ronnie Vint is the talk of the villa currently. The 27-year-old started his journey in a connection with Jess White and eventually moved on to Harriett Blackmore breaking Jess’ heart. After the arrival of bombshell Tiffany, his head turned again as he pursued her too leaving Harriett in the same position as Jess.

Both the Islanders and viewers are surprised to see Ronnie getting so much female attention.

In the villa, the boys were seen making fun of Ronnie; on the outside, fans took to X and wrote:

Still baffled that out of ALL the male islanders it is RONNIE that got most girls after him
watching Ronnie is like watching your newly divorced uncle try to flirt with the barmaid at the local working men’s club
