Love Island’s India Reynolds has admitted she fancied one of her All Stars villa mates, but ultimately held back because of his age.
India, 34, was dumped from the Island last weekend after Tina Stinnes chose her series two co-star Scott Thomas.
But since leaving the villa, the brunette beauty has spoken about her time on the show and has now confessed she had a secret crush on Luca Bish.
She revealed to The Sun: ‘I think if Luca was a bit older, then maybe Luca. I did think he was really funny. He’s gorgeous, but he is very young.’
India went on to say that Luca, 24, who is now coupled up with newcomer Grace Jackson, found it hard to find a connection with someone to begin with because of the older lineup.
She said: ‘I think Luca was struggling because obviously last time he went in, everyone was a similar age to him, so this time maybe it was a little bit harder for him.’

Reflecting on Tina’s decision to steal Scott, which ultimately sent India packing, she added that she was surprised because she felt Tina was ‘more suited to Luca’.
After Maya Jama delivered the shock news during last Sunday’s episode that India would be the first Love Island All Stars Islander to be dumped from the villa, viewers fumed branding it ‘brutal’.
Tina, a former contestant from the 2016 series, also faced a load of online backlash for the dramatic dumping.
However, her ex-castmate Olivia Bowen came to her defence, writing on Instagram: ‘I know Tina will be feeling so bad and guilty about sending someone home. She wouldn’t hurt a fly.’
Olivia also praised Tina’s transformation since her first Love Island stint, calling her newfound confidence ‘amazing to watch.’
It comes after India insisted to Maya in her post-show chat that she wasn’t shocked by Tina’s choice, admitting as soon as Scott went on a date with the blonde that she knew her time was up.
Reflecting on her early elimination, India said: ‘As soon as Tina came in, she said she liked Scott. So I thought, I’m either going to be single or I’m going to be leaving. I just had a feeling.
‘The way he relayed it to me, I felt like he maybe liked her as well. So I kind of knew it was coming.’

India – who appeared on the fifth series of ‘Love Island’ back in 2019 – admitted that she felt some relief to be leaving the villa.
The brunette beauty explained: ‘I don’t think I would have enjoyed [seeing Scott with Tina] at all.
‘I kind of said bye, but we’d had such an awkward 24-hours … so it wasn’t like we were really good and then I got dumped. It was almost like we were just starting to clear the air.’
India maintained that Scott is a ‘nice guy’. However, she acknowledged that their recent clash had driven a ‘wedge’ between them and she felt frustrated by his behaviour.
