DUMPED Love Island star Samantha Kenny has broken her silence on her exit from the villa.
The makeup artist was sent home tonight after becoming the sole singleton in the latest recoupling.
The writing was on the wall when bombshell Grace Jackson chose to couple with Joey Essex having spent the last few days rekindling her romance with her ex.
Wil picked Uma, Tiffany chose Ronnie, Ayo stayed with Mimii, Ciaran picked Nicole, Sean chose Harriet, and Omar picked Jess.
Of her departure, Samantha said: "Obviously I am devastated to leave all of the girls behind but I am very excited now to see what my future holds and look forward to seeing what is next.
"I was true to myself and didn't feel like it was a waste of my time because I followed what I felt was right for me. When it comes to Joey, I think if I knew what I know now, I perhaps would have done things differently."
Samantha made the mistake of putting all her eggs in one basket even though another land caught her eye.
"Ronnie’s more my type than Joey was," she said. "But I feel like Ronnie didn’t pursue anything with me because he didn’t want to go up against Joey."
On tonight's show, Sam said her highlight was making such good friends, while other aspects of her experience were "s***e".
When it was revealed Sam would be leaving, Nicole burst into tears and couldn't stop as she prepared to lose her villa sister.
Sam said: "Jess and Nicole were my two best friends in the villa. I was also really close with Harriett as well. I will 100 percent be partying with Jess and Nicole when they get out."
As for her prediction as to who will win the show, two couples stand out.

She said: "Ciaran and Nicole along with Mimii and Ayo. I love them both individually and together - they are my end game. Ayo’s recoupling speech was lovely.
"I’ll go for Mimii and Ayo - they are probably my favourite couple."
There were hugs for everyone when Sam said her goodbyes, save for Grace and Joey.
When the Towie man tried to chat to her he was snubbed and left to wander in the garden looking crestfallen.
