Megan Barton-Hanson thinks Sherif Lanre must have done something "serious" to have left ‘Love Island’.
The 2018 contestant is "baffled" by the circumstances surrounding the 20-year-old chef’s exit from the show – which was "mutually agreed" by him and the producers – earlier this week and she’s branded the hopeful "naive" for thinking he could get away with not sticking to the strict rules set down by programme bosses.
She wrote in her column for The Sun Online: "I reckon he must have done some something SERIOUS, God knows what it was.
"Rumours are rife about the real reason why Sherif left through the back door after a mutual agreement with bosses.
"But I’m totally baffled.I don’t know what on earth it could have been. I know it’s a lot to go into with a show like this and you’ve got to be willing to stick to all the rules and regulations.
"I would have thought he would be too engrossed in the moment and trying to find someone to click with, he wouldn’t have been interested in anything else.
"There’s always cameras on you 24/7 so they see everything. It’s a bit naive of him to try and get away with something on there.
"They’ve got a show to make so even when you’re off you’re being followed because they don’t want to miss any news or secret chats.
"Also our suitcases get searched before you go in.
"There’s so many different reasons as to why he left, so until we know we’re just going to have to be curious…"
Meanwhile, the blonde beauty – who found love with Wes Nelson on last year’s show before they split earlier this year – admitted she isn’t a fan of any of the 2019 male contestants apart from Curtis Pritchard and doesn’t think she’d have fared very well if she’d been in the villa this year.
She wrote: "I’ve gone off all the boys other than Curtis. He’s not my type, but if my best friend got with him I’d be rooting for them. He’s a proper gentleman.
"But as for the rest… there’s no one I like! I think I’d be kicked out this series, I don’t rate any of them including the new guy Danny.
"They’re all too much. Everyone is getting really attached so soon. "They’re just doing it for airtime and it’s hurting my heart a little bit."
