We asked Venus about the intense turns of events this season of Love Island has offered in the last couple of days. Let’s see if she is still the sweet and naive girl we met on day one or if she has some hidden depth that we still need to discovered.
You and Bobby seem to be stuck in a friendship couple. Do you think there could be more there, or are you ready to move on to someone else to try to find love?
I wouldn’t say ‘stuck’. It’s a decision we both made. I can only speak for myself, but I wouldn’t couple up with anyone just to try my luck. That’s why I know kissing Rocco was a mistake. And Bobby forgave me! At this point, something very big would need to happen for us to reconsider our friendship couple, since no one here caught our attention for us to have that talk. I’m very comfortable with him and I hope he feels the same way.
Considering that other people kissed too during the challenge, do you think the reaction to #roccogate was a little exaggerated?
I don’t think the reaction to #roccogate was exaggerated. Our kiss was very different from the others, we went behind our partners’ backs and got… A bit carried away. Feelings are feelings after all, if Sky reacted the way she did was because we hurt her.
What do you think of the other girls so far? Who do you think of as the strongest competition?
Obviously, you can’t connect with everyone in the same way, but I’ve made some good friends so far. I think we are all trying to figure out how to play the game while still being true to ourselves, but thruthfully I don’t even think I am in the competition [laughs]. Milly and Levi seem very smitten with each other, a bit excessive for me, but some couples are like that, right?
A cheeky viewer is asking for a friend, is Rocco really that good of a kisser?
[Laughs and blushes] Oh, those cheeky viewers! Well, I can’t lie, so I will tell you a secret: Rocco has good things going for him!
