Love Island’s Anna Vakili says she ‘misses’ axed star Sherif Lanre as she addresses his exit for the first time
LOVE Island's Anna Vakili says she "misses" axed star Sherif Lanre.
The 28-year-old is the bookies' favourite to be dumped from the island next after she was left unexpectedly single.
Sherif was tossed out after breaking villa rules - which include a strict ban on masturbation.
He was accused of spending "hours on his own in the shower" before his departure nine days in.
Anna told the Beach Hut: "It's weird being single because I started this journey off in a couple with Sherif and I really miss him.
"I do want to be with someone's type 'to a tee'. Someone who is attracted to me from the beginning.
"That's what I want and I'm not settling for less."
The star opened up after her awkward exchange with Anton Danyluk who insisted he "had her back" before revealing it was actually Molly-Mae who was "his type on paper".
Love Island viewers shared hilarious memes tonight and branded Anton "clueless".
The cheeky Scot did his best to sweet talk Anna in the garden but his plan backfired after he told her Molly-Mae was his perfect type on paper whereas Anna wasn't.
After Anna complained to Amber, the Geordie lass pulled Anton to one side and told him what for with Michael supporting her.
Twitter erupted as viewers rushed to comment on what they'd just seen.
One shared a picture of a clown and wrote: "What the UK thinks of Anton after that conversation #LoveIsland."
A second said: "I love Anton more and more every day #LoveIsland."
A third posted: "NEVER thought I’d say this at the start but I love Anton! He’s meant so well with Anna but is just so dumb 😂 #loveisland."
As a fourth shared: "#LoveIsland honestly anton is such a cutie but he’s just such a fool 🤣 ."
Anton kicked off his chat with Anna by saying: “You look amazing tonight as always.
"You know I value you so much in here. You’re my favourite girl in here.
“Obviously Molly has come in and she is very much my type. You know that. I don’t want you to feel like you’re vulnerable in here. As long as I’m in here, I’ve got your back.”
Anna replied: “Thank you babe. Obviously, I want you to find someone.
Anton added: “As much as Molly is my type, she’s beautiful from the outside-in, you’re beautiful on the inside and out.
"You’re not necessarily my absolute type on paper but Molly, who is someone who is my type, I still wouldn’t want to be with someone like that.”
Anna reflected on her conversation with Anton in the Beach Hut.
She said: “I don’t know whether to take that as a compliment or not.”
Anna's partner Sherif was sent packing on day nine of the show for "breaking strict rules" although ITV has not revealed the exact reason behind his exit.
His departure has thrown the show into chaos and delayed the next recoupling – with Anna remaining in the villa as single.
