Sherif Larne has released his first statement since leaving the Love Island villa.
Yesterday, it was announced that the 20-year-old had exited the show after "breaking the rules".
“After breaking the villa rules Sherif had conversations with the producers and it was mutually agreed that he would leave the Love Island villa" a spokesperson said.
Meanwhile, Sherif - who was coupled up with Anna Vakili - said:
“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.
"I regret that I didn’t conduct myself in the right way and, as a 20 year old guy, it’s something I know I will take on board and learn from.
"I really enjoyed my time in the villa and look forward to catching up with everyone on the outside.”
