Love Island's Amy Hart has admitted there's a big change she would like to see next season.

The 26-year-old exited the villa earlier this week after her relationship with her half-boyfriend, Curtis Pritchard, came to an end. In a post-exit interview with The Sun, Amy said that she had quit the villa for the sake of her mental health, as she didn't want to watch Curtis move on with Maura Higgins. She also said that she felt not having had a serious relationship before left her unprepared for being on the show - in particular, having her heartbreak play out on national TV. She explained this is the reason she thinks future Islanders should have had at least one previous partner before joining the show. Amy continued:

“You should have had a boyfriend before going on the show. “Going through my first major heartbreak on television isn’t the wisest choice. It’s embarrassing to have the younger people in the villa guiding me through my heartbreak.”

She also explained how she had been a "very horrible place" for the last week, which led to her deciding to leave. She said:

“I chose my mental health over the reality show.

“I was in a very horrible place over the last week, to be told that the gloves were off with Maura and I had to ‘brace myself’, like a storm. I knew I had to leave when I did.

“I’m kidding myself thinking that I can watch Curtis cracking on with Maura. It would be self-sabotage. “It’s not nice. I have to put myself and my sanity first. “I’ve given up a place that 130,000 people applied for but I had to leave as I wasn’t myself any more. I was in absolute despair. “I was grieving the loss of my first love, living in a house with him and watching one of my alleged friends get with him. “I feel a million times better now I’ve left, but I defy anyone not to fall apart and be completely heartbroken."
