Just because the villa has closed its doors
may have forgiven her former castmates for voting herself and as the least compatible couple, but she certainly hasn’t forgotten.
The results of the vote meant that Will, 23, and Jessie, 26, faced the public vote and subsequently left the island.
Jessie blasted the decision, saying: ‘In the villa, everyone applauded our relationship so when they decided to say we weren’t compatible, I think they knew we were very happy.’
She added: ‘I think it also was a bit of a cop-out because they could always use the excuse of Jessie’s from Australia.’
She pointedly noted that the ‘final is massive for them [her fellow islanders]’.
The couples who made it to the ITV dating show final were winners Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan, and runners-up Ron Hall and Lana Jenkins, Tom Clare and Samie Elishi who took third place, and Tayna Menhenga and Shaq Muhammad who came fourth.
In an interview with Jessie explained how her relationship with Will is now thriving in the outside world.
‘It has been a million times better since we left the villa. We are so much happier. The villa was a very stressful environment.’
Jessie has taken up residency at Will’s family farm in Buckinghamshire and plans to stay until her visa expires at the end of May.
The couple has been on TikTok showing Jessie meeting the animals for the first time, and the graft that’s going into lambing season.
A very different type of graft to what took place in the South African villa!
Although Jessie has vowed to speak to all her castmates if they randomly bump into each other, she won’t be going out of her way to make plans.
Jessie instead plans to spend her time with people who support her.
‘Why would I go out of my way to not hang out with people who really love us, instead of people who have talked badly behind my back?’
‘There’s no one I would avoid, but making plans with them and hanging out with them, I’m probably not going to be doing that,’ she added.
