It's never easy being the first Love Island star to get dumped from the villa, but to be fair, not every Love Island star has the grace, decorum and all-round queen status of India Reynolds to take it on the chin and continue slaying. India left that villa with her head held high, shrouded in dignity and class and we bow down to her.

We really did that, by the way. When India popped into Closer HQ for a right royal gossip about her time on All Stars, we definitely bowed a little in nervous excitement when we met her at reception – and we're happy to report, IRL, an absolute doll.

She might be one class act, but that doesn't mean she's not afraid to get a little messy over a tea-spilling session and that's exactly what she did when we quizzed her about returning to the series after six years, villa life, and of course, her fellow Islanders.

Well, Scott Thomas. Mainly Scott Thomas.

Saying that, she did drop another boy's name in it when we asked her to reveal the villa's biggest trouble maker, and despite Scott causing an awful amount of trouble for our India, she chose to give Ronnie Vint that title instead.

Fair. You just know Ronnie lived in detention in school. Call it hunch. It might also have to do with the fact that he kind of gives us sexy, south east London version of Dick Dastardly from Wacky Races energy. Gen Zs, give that one a Google.

Anyway, India exclusively told Closer online, 'I think the biggest troublemaker in the villa was Ronnie, [at least] while I was in there. Not because he actually did anything bad, I actually love him, I think he is hilarious. But he is just such a cheeky boy. He was doing the photos of me and Luca [Bish], he was like, always up to no good doing cheeky things.'

We're pretty sure Harriett Blackmore could vouch for that one.

India was a popular Islander on season five of Love Island in 2019. She entered as a bombshell on day 43 alongside Harley Brash and Greg O'Shea. Despite her late entry, she finished in third place alongside Ovie Soko and the couple dated for a good few months IRL.

After her first villa stint, she became an influencer before returning to the series for All Stars 2025. She formed a lukewarm connection with Scott Thomas – before his head got turned by bombshell Tina Stinnes – before being the first Islander to be dumped from the villa on day seven.
