\n Carlos Borges, a 22-year-old who works in tarmac reinstatement, joined partway through the 13th series of the dating programme.\n<\/p>\n
\n He entered the villa on day 23, along with five other bombshells.\n<\/p>\n
\n However, that group didn’t last long, as they all went home on day 26 after none of them were picked by existing contestants to couple up with.\n<\/p>\n
\n Carlos had been talking to Priya, but she didn’t end up picking him when the recoupling occurred.\n<\/p>\n
Carlos discusses “tough” Love Island experience<\/p>\n
\n After his exit, Carlos discussed his time on the show with Media Mole.\n<\/p>\n
\n Asked how it felt to leave the show so early, he said: \u201cIt feels tough because you want to go in there, find a connection and have an amazing experience.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I did, don\u2019t get me wrong, but it\u2019s hard because I thought I had a good connection with Priya, and that we were getting on really well.\n<\/p>\n
\n “And from the chats I was having with the boys and the girls, they were reassuring me all the time that I was her number one and she felt the most comfortable with me.\n<\/p>\n
\n “So I was very confident that I was going to get picked.\n<\/p>\n
\n “It\u2019s definitely a bitter pill to swallow because I didn\u2019t expect it.\n<\/p>\n
\n “It\u2019s still quite a shock, to be honest.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Carlos was still glad to have taken part, as he shared: \u201cIt was an amazing experience and I\u2019m so grateful to have done it.\n<\/p>\n
\n “For me, it is the best show in the world.\n<\/p>\n
\n “So to have done it is amazing.\n<\/p>\n
\n “It was a dream for me.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Finally, when he was asked if he formed any friendships, he said: \u201cYes, the Casa boys are friends for life.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Tommy is my guy.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I want him to win and bring it home for the boys.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I\u2019m rooting for him because he and Yasmin have got something amazing and I\u2019m so happy for him.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Will is like a brother to me, we grew close very quickly.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I looked up to Jords too.\n<\/p>\n
\n “He\u2019s so funny, he\u2019d have me in bits every day.\n<\/p>\n
\n “In terms of him and Priya, I\u2019m not going to be rooting for them.\n<\/p>\n
\n “She picked someone who\u2019s not even her priority.\n<\/p>\n
\n “In terms of me and Jordon, we\u2019re all good though.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
