Love Island’s Ollie Williams Has Quit The Show After Just Three Days
He says he's still in love with his ex. Ooh!
The drama has barely even started on Winter Love Island and one contestant already wants out.

Ollie now claims he’s still in love with his ex, whom he dated for 18 months before the relationship ended last year.

At the end of the day, this is Love Island and it’s about finding love. If I carried on anything with Paige, or any other girl that might come into the villa, it wouldn’t be fair on them.

According to Sky News, British broadcasting watchdog Ofcom has received 231 complaints against him since the show began, and a petition calling on ITV to remove him from the villa has been signed by over 38,000 people. Innnteresting…
