Remell Mullings for Love Island 2025 / ITV
Remell Mullings has been given the boot from the Love Island villa following a brutal public vote.
The 24-year-old – a “self-improvement content creator” from Essex – entered as a bombshell on day three but was voted least favourite boy by the public, days after he snogged new girl Poppy in a sleepover.
After leaving the villa, Remell sat down with press to reflect on his time on the show.
How are you feeling about leaving the Villa?
“I can’t say I’m surprised, I knew it was going to be a gamble choosing Alima after The Sleepover, but I still took that risk.”
Tell us about your time at The Sleepover, we saw some kissing outside of the Truth or Dare game…
“Despite me having what seemed to be a good connection with Poppy, my heart was telling me that I had to see it through with Alima. The dynamic with Poppy was more what I’m used to on the outside. But building up slowly with Alima made me realise that that’s important.
“I didn’t necessarily have to share the bed and kiss outside of the Truth or Dare game, however, being true to myself I’m naturally very flirty. I still acted like how I would on the outside. There was never a conversation with Alima about being exclusive, we hadn’t had that chat and hadn’t spoken properly about boundaries either.”
Did you expect Alima’s reaction when you returned to the Villa?
“I didn’t, but I did expect her to feel a type of way because I wasn’t the first person to talk to her. The girls did and that made a big difference. As soon as I came back from The Sleepover, I was ready to speak from the heart. But when I realised that she was hurt, I learned that it was a lot deeper than I originally thought.”
Would you have done anything differently with regards to Poppy and The Sleepover?
“If Alima and I had had a conversation about boundaries, it would have made a difference. Communication is important and I’d do my best to change.”
How were things left with you and Alima?
“Things were left a bit sour. The reality is, the woman that was opening my heart and turning me into a lover boy is never going to truly know how I feel about her. I was ready to tell her everything once I came back to the Villa, but because the conversation didn’t end well, we didn’t get to properly talk. We’re both stubborn so it was hard to see eye to eye.”
Would you like to have a conversation with her again?
“I would be open to a conversation, but if she’s not open to it then it’s fine. It was hard for us to talk in the Villa because I felt a bit disrespected and put my guard up.”
Were you surprised that the public voted you least favourite boy?
“I’m not surprised as I knew at The Sleepover that my decision would have repercussions.”
How would you sum up your Love Island experience?
“Fun, spontaneous, true and reflective. I’ve learnt a lot from it. The main thing being that it is super important to make the most of your time and be in the moment.”
Love Island continues Sundays to Fridays at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
