"The producers obviously let me know that I wouldn't be returning, because they didn't want to ruin my Instagram bio. "If I went back in, technically I'd have been there longer than 24 hours.

Love Island star claims he was asked to return to villa instead of Blu - but missed the email It's understood that not all axed Love Islanders were expecting to make a return to the villa for the final. A select few have been invited back and will fly out to Majorca imminently for Monday night's final. Meanwhile, it's not the first time Ryan has addressed Love Island fans since his short stint in the villa. He claimed to have been asked to return alongside OG star Megan Clarke. Axed Islanders Megan and Blu Chegini re-entered the villa in a shock shake-up. Ryan responded to a comment saying "Definitely should have sent you back in with Megan, would you go on All Stars? LOVE ISLAND 2025 - ALL the dumped stars so far LOVE Island 2025 is in its penultimate week. Here are all the dumped Islanders so far ...

"But unfortunately, the email went in my junk folder and I've not seen it until now. So it looks like they've decided to send Blu in instead. "Can't believe it, what are the chances?" Love Island airs on ITV2 and ITVX.
