Love Island’s Jess White breaks silence after ‘overwhelming’ reaction to exit
DUMPED Love Islander Jess White has broken her silence – saying she’s “overwhelmed” by the kindness from fans.
The 25-year-old retail manager ignored the “bullying” claims as she returned to social media after jetting back to the UK.
Jess, who was in this summer’s original Love Island line-up, was dramatically dumped from the ITV2 show in a mass cull this week.
She wrote on Instagram: “The experience of a lifetime.
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the support and overwhelming amount of kind messages I have received the last few days.
“I am so happy to be back home with my family and friends.
“I have met the most incredible people and made friendships that I will treasure for life.
“I will be supporting all of them till the very end, especially my girls.
“So excited for this next chapter.”
Jess suffered a tough time finding love in the villa.
She was embroiled in a love triangle with Harriett Blackmore over Ronnie Vint during much of the series and they came to blows on several occasions.
However looking back on her time, Jess believes she got on with everyone during the series.
She said: “I’m a people’s person, that’s my job, so I knew I’d get on with everybody.
“This journey has taught me to never underestimate how important friendships are.
“I was so close with both the girls and boys in the villa and I love them all individually.
“I’m a tough cookie and rarely cry but everytime one of my girls left I was always in tears. The relationships you form are so special, I’m so proud of everyone and think we will all be friends for life.”
