The Welsh hunk was sent packing just four days into his experience - but viewers fell in love with him after his recent appearance on spin-off show Aftersun.

The Sun Online exclusively revealed earlier today how chef Sherif, 20, from London, had mutually agreed with bosses to leave the reality series after just nine days.

Breaking his silence, Sherif said in a statement: "In a case of poor judgement, I broke the villa rules and as a result agreed with the producers that it was best for me to leave the villa.
