LOVE Islands Sophie Piper will defend Connagh Howard during tonights episode after Connor and the other boys gang up on him after the recoupling.
On Friday nights show viewers watched as the model decided to pick Sophie despite Connor telling him he wanted to stay coupled up with her.
Reflecting on what happened in the Beach Hut, Connor rages: He should have gone about things a different way. He should have coupled up with Sinnise, got to know her, he could have still gotten to know Sophie if he wanted to.
Its hard not to be awkward now. Its going to be a bit hard, but hes brought that on himself.
Later when Mike is giving Connagh his opinion on the situation – suggesting he could have done things differently – Sophie steps in.
She says: You cant even say that to him hes gone with his gut at the end of the day. I feel like you boys shouldnt be beating him up about it.
Sophie had initially told Connor she was happy with him but after a series of incidents she appeared to be swaying a bit.
During the recoupling Connagh shocked his fellow Islanders, saying: “So I want to couple up with this girl because I’ve been attracted to this girl in the short time that I’ve been here. And she has the personality to go with her looks.
“I would like to continue to get to know this person, I don’t want to leave this experience and regret not taking any chances. So the girl I want to couple up with is, Sophie.”
Connor was stunned, and when it was turn to choose, he made his feelings clear.
He said: “I’ve found myself in this situation, I feel like I’ve been snaked out a little bit.
“People have been dishonest. But yeah, I’m in it now, so that’s it.”
Eve Gale ended up getting booted out because she was left without a man and admitted she too was surprised by Connors decision.
She said: “It was a bold move Its not nice now that she cant be with Connor.
“But hats off to Connagh, bold move, youve got to do what youve got to do but I was shocked.”
