A LOVE Island star has dubbed her short show stint a “humiliation ritual” – but admitted she would return.
The ITV2 beauty, who has since quit her normal job as a nursery nurse, spoke out weeks after she was brutally dumped from the island with fellow Casa Amor bombshell Charleen Murphy.

Mara Pirez, 26, entered Love Island 2026 as one of six late arrivals and immediately caught the eye of Simba Kudyiwa.
The pair enjoyed several smooches outside of challenges, despite him being coupled up with Angelista Gunda back in the main villa.

Yet he made a swift u-turn and returned to Angelista which left her fuming as she told Simba exactly what she thought of him, before she was given the boot.
In a chat on her Twitch account, Mara answered fan questions about her villa experience, including one viewer who asked if she was “glad” she went on the matchmaking series.

Mara said: “I didn’t come out with anybody so I don’t know.
“I feel like that was a humiliation ritual,” referring to her experience with Simba.
She added: “I was just standing there”.
During what has become one of the most iconic villa speeches, Mara told him he had “irritated her entire existence” and added: “You’re a joke, babe.”
She ended her scathing monologue during the show by branding him an “absolute wasteman”.
In her new Twitch clip, Mara continued to brand her experience “embarrassing” but conceded it “made sense” after Simba and Angelista came third in the Love Island final.
When another asked if she would sign up to spin-off All Stars she added: “Ohhh I want to do USA.
“Because I’m thinking out of everyone that’s gone on Love Island who would I get with [on All Stars].
“I have maybe one person in mind.
“But do you get what I’m saying, I would love USA, I think so too”.
Fans were quick to comment and agree with her stance, and one wrote on TikTok: “Literally that is what Love Island is! A HUMILIATION RITUAL!”
A second added: “Especially as a Casa girl!”
One then added: “All Stars is such a waste of everyone’s time honestly. Hardly anyone will be watching”.
Mara’s comments came after The Jattvibe exclusively revealed how she is top of Love Island bosses wish lists for the next All Stars instalment.
A well-placed insider told us: “Mara is one of the standout stars from this year and fans are desperate to see her back in the villa”.
