While Kirra said she had to "put herself first" and take a chance on the Reid knowing that her and Ollie were just friends, Ollie wasn't convinced.

"I don't think she's being genuine. I think she's speaking from a jealous place," Ollie added.

Although his time in the Villa was short lived, Ollie was never afraid to speak his truth.

"I say the truth and whether it works in my favour or whether it doesn't then that that's who I am," he told cameras.

If there was one thing Ollie didn't realise in the Villa, it was that other people were being more strategic than him.

"I feel like people were keeping certain things behind closed doors to benefit themselves and that's a game I wasn't aware of," Ollie admitted.

"No regrets. If I'd have changed my approach then I would've built connections that weren't real," the Brit said.

"I have a lot of love for the girls, but romantically I felt nothing."
