Love Island's Alima breaks silence on future with Remell after shock villa exit

Alima Gagigo has broken her silence after her shock dumping during tonight's Love Island. Fans were left furious when the 23-year-old was dumped from the villa along with new bombshell Ryan.

The shock exit came as Alima's partner Conor chose to recouple with Billykiss, leaving Alima single. New bombshell Ryan, who had only entered the villa yesterday, was also dumped from the villa, after none of the girls chose to recouple with him.

During her time in the villa, Alima formed a connection with Remell, however it came crashing down when she learnt he had shared a number of kisses with Poppy in the sleepover. Upon her exit, Alima has spoken out about where she stands with Remell on the outside, and all things villa life.

"Remell and I were getting stronger and stronger by the day," she said of their relationship. When he got the text about the sleepover, I was with him, and as soon as he started smiling.

"I knew this guy, he wasn’t going to be up to any good. When I saw the clip, from that moment on, I knew it would take a lot for us to go back to how we were before. I wasn’t surprised by his behaviour at all."

When asked whether she'd be open to have a conversation with Remell after leaving the villa, Alima said: "I don’t hate him and I’m more than happy to be civil, he was part of my experience after all! But in terms of anything romantic, I’ll keep myself away from that."

After Remell's departure, Alima found a connection with Ben, but her time was cut short before they could really give it a go. However, Alima's departure doesn't mean the end of the road for the couple.

"I want to see how he acts now that I’m not there and if he finds a connection. If he comes back single, I would be interested in seeing if there’s something we could continue…" she teased.

Now she's been dumped, Alima says she's rooting for Dejon and Meg to take it home. The pair have been through a number of challenges since coupling up on Day 1, and it looks like Billykiss could cause yet another hurdle in their relationship.

However, Alima doesn't think she'll stand in the way. "I think at the start he was acting up a bit, but as the weeks go by, you can really tell he cares when he says ‘my Meg’," she said when asked who she was rooting for.

"Also Emily and Tommy, because Tommy is the nicest man I’ve ever met in my life. Every time I walk by him in the garden or kitchen I say Tommy they don’t make men like you any more! He’s been crafted out of the sixties. You can tell he’s been raised very well, so praise to his parents!"

Love Island 2025 airs every night at 9PM on ITV2 and ITVX.
