He spent his short stint on the ITV show flirting up a storm with Robyn Langton and Mica Harris, both 21.

George made the decision to leave the villa after receiving the news of a family member’s health concern.

After landing back in the UK and making spending time with his family a priority, George has now opened up on his “whirlwind” time in the Majorca villa.

Speaking on former Islander Harrison Solomon‘s livestream, George confessed he was told by Love Island bosses that he wasn’t allowed to get to know Yasmin.

Fans have always pointed out that bombshells never get to know each other and it seems George has finally been the one to shed some light on it.

He said: “I’m really attracted to Yas, I think Yas is amazing. Like, she’s hot.

“And they [producers] were like bombshells don’t go after bombshells.”

Harrison asked: “Oh so you walked in with Yas, right?”

George replied: “I remember when I walked in with Yas, before we met Maya I was like ‘This girl is unbelievable, she’s hot, can I crack her?’

“We did this walk like a 100 times before going in and getting it right, just walking next to her just thinking ‘She’s not real’.”

Harrison, who first appeared on season 12, admitted he fancied Jessy Potts during All Stars season three.

The pair also entered the show as bombshells on the same day.

He explained how he “stuck it on her,” but was called to the beach hut and “told off” by producers, who told him he wasn’t allowed to do that.

Harrison and George both agreed that the rule was “annoying.”

Footballer George admitted: “I don’t think, to be entirely honest she’s [Yasmin’s] interested in me. So I’m happy that I didn’t say anything outside the beach hut.”
