Love Island star Shaughna Phillips has revealed that she did find love in the famous villa despite being left heartbroken by Callum Jones.
The democratic services officer, 25, was sent packing tonight after Luke M decided to couple up with Demi Jones in the latest recouping ceremony.
Londoner Shaughna coupled up with Callum, 23, on the first day in the South African villa and the dynamic duo went from strength to strength until the infamous Casa Amor test.
Callum’s head was turned by Manchester model Molly Smith during his stay in the separate villa.

Opening up about her initial reaction to Callum returning to the main villa with Molly, Shaughna said: “She was gorgeous. That was obviously the first thought.
“Listen, it must have been awful for her and it could have been any girl standing there.
“It wasn’t her as a person. She didn’t have any loyalty to me, he did. So in essence, she did nothing wrong.”
Speaking about her decision to stay loyal to scaffolder Callum during the Casa Amor twist, Shaughna confessed: “I did genuinely think Callum was going to bring someone back from Casa Amor.

“I could have coupled up with one of the new boys, just so I wasn’t standing there on my own. But I would have been forcing it and that’s not me at all.”
She may not have found Mr Right but Shaughna struck up a close friendship with Lewis Capaldi’s ex girlfriend Paige Turley during her stay in Cape Town.
Paige is currently favourite to win the show along with new boyfriend Finn Tapp.
Opening up about her new bestie, Shaughna said: “I have literally found love in Love Island and it was with my Paige.

“Living with a group of friends, some best friends, day in, day out was incredible.
“I wouldn’t have changed it for the world and I left when I needed to leave.”
Love Island airs nightly on ITV2 at 9pm
