A LOVE Island bombshell has quit the show despite flying to South Africa and spending two weeks in hiding.

Leanne Amaning, who found fame as a day one girl back in series six, kept a keen eye on the action in the All Stars villa before deciding it wasn't for her.

The reality star broke the news on her TikTok channel, telling her 18,700 followers: "The more the show went on the less sense it made for me to go in there."

Leanne didn't take the decision to jet to South Africa lightly.

She admitted it "took so much persuading for me to give it a go and be open."

The digital creator has tried reinventing herself from her villa days and has distanced herself from the drama of the show.

"I'm so different now," she said. "A little less unhinged and single AF. I'm trying to be someone completely new."

Leanne didn't go into any more detail as to why she had her change of heart, though she did cryptically tell one fan: "aww thank u girlll, i just couldn’t enter that villa to suffer."

The beauty went on to model a number of the outfits she had intended to wear on the show.

There was a selection of colourful bikinis and a stunning little black dress she would have worn for her grand entrance.

Fans are now begging her to go in Love Island Games, while Leanne herself said next year's All Stars isn't off the cards.

She told one follower: "dw if i’m single next year which i really hope i’m not we go again next year xxx."

Love Island co-star Shaughna Phillips said: "No I’m devvo."

To which Leanne replied: ";free holiday for me xxx."

In series six Leanne coupled up with former police officer Mike Boateng on day one.

She really fought for the relationship in the early weeks of the show, overcoming a challenge from Jess Gale on day two after the blonde stunner stole her man.

She then decided to stick with Mike despite interest from Luke Trotman, only to be brutally dumped when Sophie Piper and Mike became an item on day 18.

Since leaving the villa, Leanne has largely shied away from the celebrity circuit instead focusing on content creation.

Why Leanne's a winner without setting foot in the villa

By Dan Cain

THERE'S been no shortage of game-playing accusations levelled at the islanders in the villa as they vie for true love and a huge cash prize.

But no one's played as big a blinder as Leanne, who managed to avoid all the tears, tantrums and terrible chat up lines all the while living in the lap of luxury for two weeks.

The series six star even admitted her villa stint that never was, was really nothing more than a free holiday.

Bombshells arriving late into the series haven't had the best time of it. Both Danielle Sellers and Samie Elishi were chucked in at the deep end, snubbed by Curtis Pritchard and Luca Bish, respectively, then given the boot for their troubles.

I've no doubt that watching the fate of those two beauties unfold made Leanne all the more confident she made the right decision.

While the reason surrounding her decision to spurn the villa is yet to be fully explained, I'm not sure bosses will be champing at the bit to sign her again next year just to risk another no show.

Her Instagram page, which has nearly 250,000 followers, is full of pictures of her in glam outfits in luxurious destinations.

While her former villa flame, Mike, recently announced he's engaged after popping the question to his girlfriend in the run-up to Christmas.

Alongside pictures of his girlfriend's sparkling ring, he shared an extract from Proverbs 16:3 that read: “Commit to the lord whatever you do and he will establish your plans.”
