Love Island star Andrada says she won't rule out a reunion with Casa cheater
Casa Amor bombshell Andrada returned to the villa last Sunday for a final challenge, having previously been dumped from the island alongside Ben.
The duo were back on TV to send one couple home — and ultimately decided on Meg and Dejon.
When they left the villa, Andrada had intended for Ben to meet her family in Dublin but was furious when his head was turned and he ended up kissing another girl at a party.

'I was disappointed to say the least, because obviously I thought we had something good. It wasn't really nice to see that happen at the first event that we went to,' Andrada (28) tells the Sunday World .
'We did have a chat, he did apologise. So I'm not holding anything over his head, we're on good terms now, but possibly going our separate ways going forward.'

However, the former personal trainer-turned influencer is not ruling out giving Ben a second chance and says the fact that he lives in England and she currently resides in Dublin, distance would not rule out any possible future relationship.
'I'll never say never,' she smiles.
'It wouldn't have to be far distances — if someone is meant to be, they'll be,' she insists.
She also admits she and Dejon had their moments.
Adrada had a connection with Dejon
'Me and Dejon obviously had that connection,' she confirms. 'But he's very happy with Meg now. I'm very happy for them.
'Obviously you guys seen the brutal jump in and stuff like that, which obviously everyone had to kind of vote. I had my history with them so I could only base my decision on the history that I had.
'I don't really know Ty and Angel. Everyone is all good. At the end of the day, Dejon and Angel are very nice people individually. I feel like things can come across very harsh on TV.'
Andrada says she was happy Toni and Cach won the show, although confesses she had several favourites.
'At the end of the day, the three finalists ... I was very happy with any of them to win, as I felt like they all deserved to be up there,' she says.
Toni is the first American to win the show.
'I feel like it's very cool, it just shows that people really liked her because the US couldn't vote, so she definitely has a big fan base now in the UK, which is nice to see the support,' she says.
'I love them two together. I feel Cach brings a very nice soft side out of Toni and vice versa. I feel they've very good communication skills and you can really see it on TV.'
The Dublin beauty also says she hopes Irish lovebirds Conor and Meghan have a good future together.

'I haven't really seen them myself in the villa so I can't really speak on behalf of them – but I have been around them at the final and they seem very happy and they feel very well suited for each other, so I am hoping that it works out.
'I do feel like they get along, I wouldn't say it's because of the Irish thing, but maybe. I was in there and I'm from Ireland and I wasn't drawn to Conor just because he was Irish.
'I feel like me and Conor are actually very good friends in that sense. I wouldn't say necessarily because they're both Irish, I just feel like they're very well suited as people individually.'
She also backs up Harry, despite him getting criticism over his perceived lack of loyalty and bedhopping ways.
'I do like Harry and I feel like, at the end of the day, it's a TV show that people don't get to see what we are like. There's 24 hours in a day. I feel like Harry is definitely a nice guy and I don't feel that's shown as much,' she argues.
'Obviously it's a hard environment that we're in there and you have to go with your heart sometimes, and you're going to upset certain people, but he followed his heart and he went for who he wanted.'
After her drama with Ben, Andrada is now happy to confirm her current status.
'I am single. We all like tall dark and handsome, this is the usual type — but I do like somebody that kind of has more deep, deep conversation, not just surface looks,' she explains.
'I'm 28, I want to find my forever, I don't really want to waste any time. I do want somebody that I can be best friends with and laugh and enjoy life together. Men of colour, white guys... I don't really mind. I don't have a set type.'
Andrada's parents are originally from Romania but she herself grew up in Balbriggan in north County Dublin, has an older sister and younger brother and now lives in Blanchardstown in west Dublin.
She won Miss Bikini Ireland in 2019 and earlier this year finished in the top five of Miss Swimsuit UK.
'I actually applied for Love Island three years ago. I got through to the audition and then I didn't hear anything after that. I believe it was timing,' she beams.
Today she will fly out to Romania, where her parents have built a house which they use during the summer.
'They've worked all their lives to build a nice family home, so I go there on holidays and enjoy the house that they've built whenever I can. I haven't gone there now in a couple of years,' she says.
