Love Island’s Craig Lawson goes on epic rant after being dumped from show

Camilla's former flame took to Instagram to air his annoyances

Craig Lawson might be a bit bitter about Montana Brown choosing to save Jonny Mitchell over him.

After getting hold of his phone, the personal trainer shared a post telling his fans exactly how he was feeling post-dumping.

Craig, who went in to woo Camilla Thurlow, urged Love Island viewers to remember that they only saw five hours of his 150 hours in the villa.

The 27-year-old also made a dig at his ex Sian, and said that she didn’t like him going on the show.

Sharing a photo of himself at the airport, he started his lengthy post by saying a big thank you to everybody who supported him.

He then added: “I was in there 150 hours and you guys got to see five hours of what goes on and that’s divided by 15 people so as I’m sure you can understand there’s a lot you guys didn’t see.

“There’s a few things I want to put straight. 1. Id rather be called a mug for treating a women “too nice” than being called one for treating someone’s daughter like shit. It wasn’t like I was complimenting her 24/7 like I said 150 hours and you guys see a snippet.” [sic]

The friend of Simon Webbe and Duncan James then put his haters right by explaining why he kept everything so quiet.

“More importantly I didn’t “Abandon” my son at all. Before entering Love Island you have to keep everything quiet or you wouldn’t be able to enter the villa at all”, he said.

He then added: “I haven’t been with Sian since late last year. Obviously she isn’t going to like the fact I went on a show like Love Island and she said what she said, but anyone who knows me knows I care about my children more than anything and nothing will ever change that.”

He ended his epic post by saying: “I’m not going to be bickering back and forth on this as I’m sure it will just become nasty and I don’t want that for anyone involved. But I’ll end it all on, don’t believe everything you hear or read without hearing both sides.”

At least he’s being honest!

The fitness fanatic has now reportedly been snapped up by a top celebrity agent.

Talking about his feeling towards Camilla, he told The Sun: “There was no one else in there that I thought I would have had a connection with. They were all really attractive in there for sure, but Camilla for me was a 10 and they’re hard to find, and there’s no point in me settling for second best.

“I went in there to get the best and it didn’t quite work out, but I don’t have no regrets. If I could do it all again I’d do it exactly the same.

“I feel like if nothing was going to progress with Camilla inside the villa it was pointless me being there because there’s no one else there I would have had a connection with so it would have been a wasted opportunity for someone who could possibly have found something in there.”

We wonder whether Camilla will still find her knight in shining armour after first dumping Jonny, and then Criag…

Tune in tonight on ITV2 at 9pm for more Love Island action.
