Layla said in the beach hut, “I did accept his apology… he was so cute when he said sorry. Am I stupid for trusting someone when they say something? Am I that naïve? Maybe I am…”. 

Reflecting on her experience, Layla said that she probably was naïve but relationships ‘move quickly in the Villa’, and there was more to the relationship than what we got to see watching from home.

Layla said she doesn’t think there are any game players in the villa as everyone is focused on their own relationship. 

When asked if she would do anything differently if she was given the chance to do it all again, Layla said “No, exactly the same, I mean I probably would have tried to be a bit more with my emotions and maybe try to let myself open up a bit more.”
