Love Island winners Jess Harding and Sammy Root have opened up on their experience on the show, with blonde beauty Jess pulling back the veil on some of her sadder moments in the villa. In an appearance on Lorraine on Friday (11 August), the couple sat with guest host Christine Lampard to discuss life post Love Island. When asked about the Casa Amor storyline, which tests even the couples who seem the strongest, the beauty aesthetics practitioner confessed she put on a “brave front”.
She said: “No one has a perfect love story.” Going on to discuss the drama-filled Casa situation, Jess continued: “I think the excitement of Casa Amor, going to another villa and having a bit of time away, it’s exciting but then I actually deeped it and knowing that you were single, and knowing that full well you were going to couple up with someone else, it was kind of a bit disheartening. “But you know, I tried and I knew what I wanted and that’s why I came back on my own. I was just true to myself.
I can accept rejection, you know - obviously even though you were coupled up with Amber, which you had to, I kind of prepared myself for the worst. So, yeah, I put on a brave front.” Christine also asked what life was really like in the villa, as viewers only get a snippet of the Islanders’ full experience. Sammy branded it “genuinely the best experience of [his] life”, saying he hadn’t “laughed that much” since school.
