The 29-year-old travel agent became the third contestant to leave the show on Monday’s episode, following in the footsteps of Chuggs Wallis and Shannon Singh.

Rachel had initially been in a pair with Brad, choosing to save him during the last recoupling, however, his head was turned by Lucinda.
Rachel lashed out at Brad after the eviction calling him fake and claiming she should have chosen Chuggs over him last week when she had the chance.
She fumed: ‘I was stupid enough to fall for Brad’s graft, because it wasn’t genuine. Chuggs would have actually made the effort to get to know me. I went for Brad because he was more physically attractive.’

Brad previously admitted to Lucinda that he wasn’t really interested in Rachel, even though he chatted up Rachel in order to keep his place in the villa last week.
He said: ‘I’ve only known the lass for two days, you’re more my type.
For the first time, I’ve literally been like, “Jesus Christ, I’d be buzzing to get into bed with her.’ I’ve never had that. I think you’re absolutely stunning. You honestly are.”
Speaking after leaving the villa, Rachel said she ‘wasn’t surprised’ that she was the girl dumped as ‘I wasn’t in a friendship couple that was strong enough for me so it was my time’.
Asked who she would have liked to recouple with she revealed: ‘My top three were Aaron, Toby and Hugo. I wasn’t really attracted to Hugo in the end but he’s such a gentleman.
‘It would never have worked out with Toby, he was like my little brother. With Aaron I don’t think I’m his type. But I loved talking to him.’
Following the recoupling, the remaining 14 contestants took part in the food challenge Spit The Roast, which saw seven couples each pass a whole roast dinner between them using just their mouths.
