Joking that his time was "short and sweet" after none of the girls recoupled with him, Ryan was then flown back to the UK.
However, after returning home, Ryan has been spilling secrets from inside the villa – including Meg Moore and Tori Laites not getting on.
One fan asked: "Were Megan and Toni good friends when you were in the villa or is it the same as on TV?"
He responded: "Truthfully didn't see them speak one word to each other" alongside a laughing emoji.
Ryan's confirmation that the girls don't get on comes after Meg's behaviour was just one incident reported to Ofcom.
The show racked up over 1k Ofcom complaints in a matter of days, after viewers raised concerns over alleged bullying and misogyny by contestants.
The 1,138 objections were related to episodes broadcast on 26, 27 and 29 June, with the behaviour of Meg, as well as islanders Ben Holbrough and Helena Ford noted.
Things are set to get even more tense in the villa this week with the introduction of the Casa Amor boys – six new men all fighting for their place in the main house.
The annual twist will test the strength of the relationships of those in the villa so far, with couples being asked to stick with their current partner or twist and bring in someone new.
With tensions already running high in the villa, it could prove chaos for everyone involved.

The six Casa girls have already shaken things up – particularly for Harrison, whose ex-girlfriend Emma has already made her mark on the show.
Speaking to him after they reunited, Emma shared her thoughts on his blossoming romance with Helena, saying they "deserved each other" before branding them "snakes".

Love Island star Tina Provis slams Cierra Ortega's apology for use of anti-Asian slurs on Love Island USA as she reveals childhood pain
Tina Provis has slammed Love Island USA contestant Cierra Ortega's apology for repeatedly using an anti-Asian slur as she calls for people not to 'brush off' instances of 'casual racism'. The Love Island Australia winner, 29, penned a lengthy post to Instagram on Thursday after Cierra, 25, was booted from the Love Island USA villa due to mounting backlash over her use of the slur 'chink' in past social media posts. 'Love Island USA removed a contestant for a racist slur that resurfaced online. Let's talk about why this is important,' Tina began in her post. 'In my experience, Anti-Asian racism has always been quickly brushed off. 'The same people that want to fall back 'but I didn't know it was racist' are the SAME PEOPLE complaining when you make a stand up and point out why something is racist,' Tina said. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. On Wednesday, Cierra issued an 'accountability' video, in which she said she is 'truly deeply sorry' for using a racial slur and reiterated that she 'didn't fully understand' the meaning behind the offensive term. 'I do not, and have never, condoned racism or the repression of any cultural group in any form,' Cierra wrote. 'I would never intentionally use any word, especially a slur, to tear down anyone's culture or community. When I used that word, I didn't fully understand what it meant or how much pain it carries.' The backlash against her began earlier this month, when fans discovered two social media posts (from January 2015 and February 2023) in which Cierra had described her own smile as 'chinky' and said that she wanted Botox for her eyes. Tina, who won Love Island Australia in 2021 with her ex-partner Mitch Hibberd and has also starred on I'm A Celebrity! Get Me Outta Here, questioned how Cierra could not have known the meaning of the word. 'If you're calling out an ethnic groups features as undesirable, it is racist,' she wrote. 'If we continue to let comments slide because they 'aren't that racist' or 'they didn't meant to be racist', then we're excusing and encouraging a culture of casual racism.' The Chinese-Australian then revealed how 'insecure' anti-Asian slurs made her feel about her appearance whilst was growing up in Sydney. 'There was a time where my eyes were one of my biggest insecurities, because from an early age I faced casual racism,' Tina said. On Sunday night's episode which streamed on Peacock, narrator Iain Stirling confirmed that Love Island USA contestant Cierra Ortega (pictured) 'left the villa due to a personal situation' and had left Nic Vansteenberghe 'officially single' By the time she was 18-years-old, Tina turned to heavy makeup in attempts to alter her appearance because she'd so often hear friends say they 'looked Asian' if they didn't like a photo of themselves. 'If I was getting dressed up, I never would be seen without dark eyeshadow, attempting to 'hide' my eyelids and I would've screamed seeing a picture of myself like this without false lashes,' she said. Tina also recalled being teased in primary school, including one incident where a male classmate chased her around the playground whilst pulling back his eyelids. 'I've come a long way in becoming confident in my identity and that's why I have these conversations, I want other young people to feel the same,' Tina concluded in her post. However, Tina said she's not surprised by the sheer volume of people defending Cierra online. 'I'm not shocked to see that a lot of people online are defending her, because the slur that she used is "not as bad" as other racial slurs,' she said. 'There are hundreds of comments of people claiming that they didn't even know it was a derogatory comment, which just goes to show how anti-Asian racism is downplayed and tolerated much more than it would be in other communities.' Cierra is the second person to be removed from Love Island USA this season over past remarks, with Yulissa Escobar abruptly outsed for using the N-word in past social media posts.

TV tonight: who was the real Jayne Mansfield? Her daughter tells all
9pm, Sky Documentaries A touching, beautiful film that takes us back to Hollywood's golden age. TV actor Mariska Hargitay was only three years old when her 34-year-old mother Jayne Mansfield died. Deprived of any memories, she goes in search of the real Jayne – away from the sex symbol – via inherited belongings, home movies and never-before-seen photos, visiting the now demolished 'pink palace' and speaking with her siblings properly for the first time. Hollie Richardson 6pm, BBC Two The 1985 Live Aid concert was a whopping 16 hours long, but the anniversary package is a mere seven. The early acts underline how many mainstream white artists played, with Status Quo, Led Zeppelin and Phil Collins all turning out. The less often-seen backstage footage should be richer. Jack Seale 9pm, ITV2 There's much buzz around Love Island this summer. Sadly, it's centred entirely on the ratings hit that is the seventh US season, while the 12th series of its UK sibling trundles along with little fanfare, despite being hosted by Maya Jama. Still, there are worse ways to spend a Saturday night, aren't there? Right?! Hannah J Davies 9.40pm, BBC One Lee Mack's popular sitcom reaches its penultimate chapter, with the final ever episode airing next week. As they continue to muddle through post-kids life, Lee (Mack) and Lucy (Sally Bretton) become extras playing elves in TV series Dragon Castle. Cue the usual high-jinks. HR 10.40pm, ITV1 Differences between the UK and US legal systems are highlighted, as agents Anderson (Noah Emmerich) and Okoye (Angel Coulby) investigate the disappearance of the Oxford-student son of a high profile American (Uma Thurman). Namely, it's a pacing issue: 'I've been here for three days,' says Anderson. 'All I've seen you do is release people.' Ellen E Jones 11.45pm, ITV1 In this inspiring and sweet documentary, the nicest guy in football, Ian Wright, helps to launch the first ever girls' under-14 team at his Lewisham childhood club that he owes his career to. It's not just about finding 'the next big thing,' he says – it's simply to give girls the opportunity to play. HR Oppenheimer, out now, Netflix After its extraordinary theatrical run and silverware haul, it's safe to assume that everyone who wants to watch Oppenheimer has already watched it. But even after all the ballyhoo about seeing it on the big screen, Christopher Nolan's film loses very little impact on TV. It's still a total marvel, turning a bog-standard biopic into a puzzlebox of clashing timelines. It's still masterly to look at, transforming the planes of Cillian Murphy's face into grand topography. Best of all, we get to see what Robert Downey Jr looks like when he really puts his all into acting. A must watch. Stuart Heritage A Man Called Otto, 9pm, Channel 4 His days as the do-no-wrong king of Hollywood behind him, Tom Hanks has long since settled into a much more rewarding second act. He writes books. He's become a Wes Anderson day-player. And, more importantly, he gets to star in films like A Man Called Otto. Hanks plays a bitter old crank who plans to kill himself, only to be shaken out of his stupor when he begins to integrate with his neighbours. It's a hard role to pull off – lean too hard one way and you become repellant, lean too hard the other and you become unpleasantly sentimental – but Hanks gets it exactly right. SH Cycling:Tour de France, noon, TNT Sport 1 The eighth stage of the men's race. The ninth stage starts on Sunday from noon, with coverage continuing throughout the week.

Love Island fans 'disgusted' and demand Dejon is axed after movie night sparks an explosive row with Meg
Disgusted Love Island viewers have demanded that Dejon Noel Williams is axed from the villa after move night sparked an explosive row with partner Megan Moore during Friday's episode. The fan-favourite movie night returned and didn't disappoint, as there were more fireworks than ever before, with secrets exposed and relationships tarnished. In one clip, producers exposed Dejon's flirtatious behaviour with Malisha, Bilikis and Andrada, fans have branded the 26-year-old a 'gaslighter'. A clip saw the islander call bombshell Andrada 'babygirl' and state that he thought they 'looked good together' while in Casa Amour. This sparked outrage as Meg, who he made things exclusive with earlier in the episode, immediately quipped: 'Babygirl? Baby f****** girl. That's crazy.' She then went on to ask: 'Dejon and Andrada, do both of you want to rip each other's clothes off?' Dejon deflected saying he didn't want to answer questions from them which prompted Andrada to hit back. She said: 'That's what you do though. You don't want to answer the questions but you reverse it, so you don't look like the bad guy - just own it with chest. 'Yeah, but at the end of the day, I'm not.' Dejon then cut her off and said: 'No, no, no, no, no, you're talking some big words.' To which she replied: 'I'm going to stand my ground,' but Dejon continues to talk over her as she demanded: 'Can I speak?' He then refused to look at Andrada and insisted: 'We're done.' Andrada explained she was within her right to get to know two people, as the boys have done constantly during their time in the Villa.' Dejon's reaction caused fans to scold the contestant for his rude behaviour towards Andrada - with some branding him a gaslighter. This sparked outrage as Meg said: 'Babygirl? Baby f****** girl. That's crazy'. She then went on to ask: 'Dejon and Andrada 'Do both of you want to rip each other's clothes off?' Dejon deflected saying he didn't want to answer questions from them which prompted Andrada to hit back She said: 'That's what you do though. You don't want to answer the questions but you reverse it, so you don't look like the bad guy - just own it with chest' Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter one penned: 'dejon is such a gaslighter lmao #LoveIslandUK #LoveIsland' 'Dejon is the ultimate gaslighter #LoveIsland' 'DEJON IS THE BIGGEST GASLIGHTER IVE EVER SEEN GET HIM OFF MY VILLA #loveisland' 'dejon is such a gaslighter omg #LoveIsland' 'How has Dejon managed to turn this on Andrada, pro gaslighter 3000 #LoveIsland' 'Dejon is an All Star level Gaslighter, then rude on top. Can't win, no wheyyyy #LoveIsland' 'Dejon is a gaslighter man he'll be a terrible boyfriend #LoveIsland' 'putting my thoughts and opinions on meg aside, dejon is a gaslighter, love bomber, and a game player.' Later in the evening, Meg pulled Dejon for a chat to confront him privately and accused him of embarrassing her in front of the entire villa. 'I feel violated in front of all of the girls,' she explained while holding back tears. Dejon, seemingly caught off-guard by the intensity of her reaction, struggled to explain himself.
