Anna Vakili is too scared to date again after her split from Jordan Hames.
The ‘Love Island’ star was left devastated when she found Jordan confessing his feelings for another girl just a day after he asked her to be his girlfriend in the villa and she admits it has had an effect on her future romances.
She said: "I date here and there, but I’m not looking for anything serious at the moment. After the villa and what happened to me, I wanted to take a break from it. It wasn’t the best experience in there. It was hard. When something like that happens to you, it always makes you extra careful. It’s a lesson. It makes you not trust as easily. People think that’s a bad thing, but it can be good too. I can help make you more wary of the signs."
And the 29-year-old pharmacist hopes she has inspired other women to "stand up for themselves" and hold men to account.
Speaking to The Sun Online, she added: "What happened to me has happened to so many women. I think I inspired some women to stand up for themselves and not let men get away with s*** basically."
Anna previously confessed ‘Love Island’ has "put her back in terms of relationships" following her bust-up and subsequent split from Jordan.
Anna said: "I’m single, so I came out of there single. I’m just going to concentrate on work, I don’t know if I’m ready to meet anyone now after that experience. It’s put me back a bit in terms of relationships."
Host Kate Garraway then said: "[Are you] a bit bruised?"
To which Anna replied: "Yeah."
