Love Island’s Shannon Singh claims producers cut saucy twerking scenes and says viewers never got see the real her
LOVE Island reject Shannon Singh claims producers failed to show her sauciest scenes — including her skirt being ripped open while twerking.
The model, 22 — paired with Aaron Francis, 24 — was booted out after only two days but insists viewers never got to see the real her.

She said: “When I had to leave, I was mortified.
“All you’ve got to think about is, ‘Oh my God, what have they shown?’.
“I’m cheeky, I’m loud, I’m outgoing and I’m definitely not shy. But that didn’t really come across. Great things happened that I thought would have got my personality out there and allowed people to get to know me.
“Me and Aaron had to do twerking and I ripped my skirt all the way up the front. We had to suck each other’s fingers and look into each other’s eyes, but none of that got shown.
“It is 24 hours of filming and they decide whatever they put in that 60-minute episode. I’m not going to lie and say I’m absolutely overjoyed with it. I spent two weeks in quarantine for 48 hours on a show.”
Shannon also said she refused to live up to the sexy stereotype painted of her before the show started.
She had previously told of enjoying nookie up to eight times a day. But, in the villa, she Aromolaran, 22, and failed to ramp it up with Aaron.
Shannon said: “I’m proud of my sexuality. I didn’t shy away from the fact I’m a glamour model, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to go and chuck myself at all these guys.
“I’ve been painted as this glamour model who loves to get her boobs out and who loves guys. But I keep my values and morals the same as I would on the outside. I’m not going to string along a little relationship to get the public vote. That isn’t me.”
All ten people in the villa were paired up after the first episode on Monday. Then financial services executive Chloe Burrows, 25, turned up and picked Aaron — meaning his previous partner Shannon was shown the door.
However, Chloe had already admitted she had her eye on other fellas in the villa.
Shannon, from Fife, added: “She’s a bombshell and you get one opportunity in that show.
“I just would have rated her a lot more if she had come in and just picked who she wanted instead of playing tactics.
“Everyone’s seen it, she’s not interested in Aaron at all. And as soon as I had left, her and Aaron weren’t a thing. It’s a game, and Chloe had the better one.”
But Shannon is horrified by the disgusting trolling which has seen Chloe receive death threats, forcing her family to speak out against it this week.
She said: “I do not stand for any of that. We’re in 2021 and everyone knows to be kind. This is not acceptable on any level.
“It broke my heart her family had to make that statement.”

Shannon admits she did not fancy any of the men in the villa, but did like the show’s 2018 winner Jack Fincham. She added: “I don’t find gym guys attractive. Jack was just a cheeky chap, in a good way. He was an everyday guy who doesn’t try too hard.

“He had a big personality, everyone warmed to him because he was a very sweet guy. And him and Dani Dyer won the show — and she never had sex with the boys either.”
