It was barely enough time for Shannon to introduce herself to her fellow Islanders and the viewers at home.
In an interview with The Sun after her exit, Shannon claimed 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. 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.”
