Danica insisted she wished she had said something and believes she was “letting a lot of things slide” which should have been confronted.
Speaking of which, Love Island’s Danica Taylor has admitted she wishes she had confronted some of the islanders, including Paige Thorne, over their behavior towards her
Speaking on the on-demand entertainment show, Danica said: “I’m not going to lie now, I watched it again, I saw how Paige was doing when Antigoni was leaving and it was very clear that she wanted, that I’m going.”
During the dumping, the guys had to choose a girl from Antigoni Buxton, Tasha Ghouri and Danica to leave the island.
Danica has now revealed that she was aware of Paige “mouthing things about the fire pit” which made her feel unwanted as the boys singled out to save her.
She said: “I wish I’d said wait, you know how I feel about this, I haven’t done anything wrong. And you blatantly talk across the fireplace to hint at what the hell Danica is here for, but I’ve had time to get over it again.”
“But right now, looking back, I wish I had said things.”

Describing her reaction to the scenes, Danica said it saddened her to see how the girls “didn’t really warm to her” at first.
She said: “I was pretty sad watching it – I let a lot of things slip. The girls didn’t really warm to me, I felt it was in there but I just kept going with the experience.
“Looking back, I’m not upset, but I wish I’d just said you won’t be rude to me.

“I’m sad when I look back at it, I see some of the looks and comments I would get. But it’s okay, if people don’t like me, it’s really their fault.
“Now everything is cool. I left the villa feeling like my big dysfunctional family. I got a lot of love, it’s just when you look at it you’re kinda like… hm.’
“But it’s all cool. Luca and Paige don’t deserve the hate they got or are getting.
“People have their opinions, I’m not saying they’re wrong in what they think. But when you live with people, you see them from all sides.”

Danica also referenced the way Luca Bish reacted to picking him up for mating when she first entered the villa as a bombshell.
Luca immediately dismissed any romantic connection with her and made it clear that he was solely focused on Gemma Owen.
She said: “There’s nothing I would address now, I’ve finished the experience and I know them all a lot better and we’ve pulled out everything we need to do, but at the time I wish I had told Luca that you you’re not going to be so rude to me.
“Again, me and Luca, now it’s cool. We’ve had time to get over it, but I wish I’d said something at the beginning.
