LOVE Island star Shannon Singh has suggested that the couples from her series that are still together are simply “keeping up with appearances”.
The stunning Scotswoman, 23, admitted she was pleased she didn’t find love on the ITV2 dating show because she doesn’t think the relationships will last.
The final three couples from this year’s series – Faye and Teddy, Chloe and Toby and Millie and Liam – are all still together and recently moved in with each other.
But Shannon isn’t convinced that means they are in it for the long haul, telling The Sun Online: “Their relationships are almost keeping up a job.
“They have got the whole public looking at their relationship. They all have moved in together but I feel like it is keeping up appearances and I don’t have to do that.”
She continued: “You have everyone’s opinions and that is probably one of the reasons they won’t last. They have too many people peering in their relationship.
“Especially when you are so young. A lot of the couples are really young, which is a time to make mistakes, but they are going to make mistakes in the eyes of everyone.”
Since her very brief stint on the show, Shannon has rekindled her romance with her ex Ben Sterling – but she won’t be sharing the romance with fans, which is a “luxury” the others don’t have.
She explained: “I am with Ben and really happy he took me back but I am safeguarding our relationship. I have got the luxury they don’t have.
“If I had met someone on the show I don’t think it would have gone that great because you have everyone peering in on your relationship.
“I want to keep us a normal, happy relationship.”
Shannon has managed to carve her own path after Love Island, thanks to her I Love Mine campaign and work to break the stigma around OnlyFans.
She is also really successful on Twitch, which she says “sets her apart” from the other Islanders.

“It’s my own niche,” she explained. “I think people come off the show and they do brand deals and it’s all with fast fashion brands and every year is repeat of what the last people done.”
Shannon has however signed a big deal with lingerie brand Boux Avenue, but she believes it’s the perfect match for her.
She said: “The reason I chose to work with them is because they are on the messaging that I’m putting out to everyone.
“It’s not like I have just taken a fast fashion brand that has got nothing to do with what I stand for. I think it’s really important that I have a voice.”
