However, Charleen was later left speechless when Kavan secretly took Jasmine to the hideaway the next morning, prompting her to confront him again. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">Now Charleen is back on the outside world, she has spilled all the tea about her Love Island experience in her exit interview, particularly when it comes to her feelings for Kavan.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Love Island's Charleen Murphy and Kavan Murphy pictured kissing during Casa Amor.\" class=\"content-image\" data-image-catalogue-id=\"826479\" width=\"660\" height=\"370\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/826479.webp\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>    Love Island&#8217;s Charleen and Kavan connected during Casa Amor.<\/p>\n<p>Picture:<br \/>\nITV<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">When asked if she&#8217;d recommend Love Island to a fan, Charleen revealed she would as she learned so much about herself. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">However, she didn&#8217;t hold back in her final comment, saying: &#8220;I\u2019m proud of how I handled myself. I stand by everything I did and everything I said, even shouting at Kavan. I meant every word and I\u2019m not sorry.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">Speaking about her connection with Kavan during Casa Amor, Charleen admitted she had &#8220;instant feelings&#8221; for him, which was &#8220;special&#8221; for her as she hadn&#8217;t experienced that feeling in a while. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">Despite Kavan pre-warning Charleen that his situation back in the villa was a &#8220;bit rocky&#8221;, she quickly realised it was &#8220;really difficult&#8221; for someone to explore two connections when she was in the main villa.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">Speaking about the situation, Charleen said: &#8220;It\u2019s a really awkward thing to navigate. I think that\u2019s something he should have thought about before bringing me back. That was on him, not me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Love Island's Kavan Murphy and Charleen Murphy pictured in the main villa.\" class=\"content-image\" data-image-catalogue-id=\"826482\" width=\"660\" height=\"370\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/826482.webp\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>    Love Island&#8217;s Kavan ended things with Charleen.<\/p>\n<p>Picture:<br \/>\nITV<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">Reflecting on her Love Island experience, Charleen said: &#8220;I feel sad to be leaving Love Island. I feel like it ended on a bad note. I definitely found friendships over any kind of relationship, but I think that\u2019s just the way it goes. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">&#8220;The last thing I did was vent my feelings, which I\u2019m glad I did. I\u2019m glad I got to tell him how I felt, but it\u2019s still bittersweet. My man definitely wasn\u2019t in there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">Although Charleen left single, there&#8217;s still hope we may see her on All Stars, as she&#8217;s definitely been a fan-favourite for viewers. <\/p>\n<p>Listen live to Capital, and catch up on any shows you missed, on <a href=\"https:\/\/app.af.globalplayer.com\/Br0x\/CaptoGP\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Global Player<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"8 July 2026, 12:03 Love Island&#8217;s Charleen says she&#8217;s &#8220;not sorry&#8221; for Kavan row in exit interview.
