She captured the hearts of viewers last season – eventually being crowned the runner-up, alongside Jamie Jewitt.
But at first look, some people felt that Camilla Thurlow wasn’t the typical kind of Love Island contestant.
And one of this year’s contestants appears to agree.
Niall Aslam reckons that she wasn’t suited for Love Island – and couldn’t quite understand why everyone was backing her.
He defended Jonny Mitchell, who was coupled up with Camilla before he moved on to Tyla, as he told Digital Spy:
“Everyone was absolutely sending for him. I was scrolling his Instagram for a long time and all I saw was snakes!
“At the end of the day, fair enough everyone rated Camilla, but it’s Love Island and obviously he preferred thingy [Tyla].”
While the 22-year-old admitted he did like Camilla, he reckons she should not have gotten upset when Jonny and Tyla kissed – since that’s a part of the show.
Eventually, as viewers of last year’s series may remember, Tyla pied Jonny off for Muggy Mike. Which didn’t end up working out well for anyone, really.
Niall added that he thought Cam would have been better suited for another show, “for like Antiques Roadshow or something”.
He added:
“I liked Camilla, but it did seem like she was in the wrong queue.
“I’m not sending for her, but it did, didn’t it? Like Dickinson’s Real Deal and everyone was sending for him.
“It’s Love Island and she lost her head when she [Tyla] kissed him. Nah.”
