He admitted he would have stepped forward for Gemma Owen if it hadn't been down to the public vote.
He said: "I was looking at Gemma and hoping the public had picked her."
Discussing the support he's received, he shared: "Yeh, it’s crazy, I didn’t expect the support. It’s a big eye opener for me."
Things turned sour for Liam when he was left single after setting his sights on Gemma Owen, who went after bombshell Davide.
Then, after dating two new beautiful bombshells Ekin-Su Culculoglu and Afia Tonkmor, Liam failed to form a connection.
In shock scenes, he gathered the group at the fire pit on to break the news as his worried dad David rushed out on the first flight to Majorca.

Liam told the Islanders: "So, obviously we all came here for the same sort of reason, but I haven't been giving 100 per cent Liam. I know what that looks like and I'm miles off that.
"Trying to find someone to leave the villa with is the goal, but when you're not feeling that, it makes it a hard time to find that.
"I've thought about this a lot, it's not a spur of the moment type thing.
"I've made the decision to leave the villa. It's been a breeze, it's been an absolute ball. You are all unreal."

Speaking to The Sun before entering the villa, Liam revealed the embarrassment of rejection would leave him "vulnerable".
Liam said: "Something I am most nervous about is probably the feeling of not being wanted in a recoupling or something, not being picked.
"Everyone wants to be wanted, and wants to be picked. So it’s the feeling of not being picked is a nerve-wracking thought for me."
He said his rejection being aired on TV to millions was what he dreaded most.
"That feeling of being rejected, it's never a nice feeling," said Liam.
"It puts you in a vulnerable position and that's in front of the whole world. And you’re vulnerable to everyone.
"I think that’s a position I don't think anyone would want to find themselves in."
