Charlie Georgio from Love Island USA recently opened up about feeling unwell while witnessing Hannah and Pepe together after being eliminated from the show. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Charlie expressed his emotions following his unexpected departure from the villa and how he grappled with watching Hannah pursue a connection with Pepe.
The 27-year-old contestant shared his disappointment after viewers voted to couple Hannah with newcomer Pepe Garcia-Gonzalez, leading to Charlie’s elimination alongside Taylor Williams and Huda Mustafa. This decision came shortly after Charlie and Hannah had expressed their feelings for each other, leaving Charlie feeling blindsided by the outcome.
Reflecting on the events that transpired, Charlie described his deep bond with Hannah and the devastation he felt when she chose Pepe over him. He mentioned feeling hurt and betrayed, especially after witnessing Hannah embark on a date with Pepe following his departure from the show.
Charlie revealed his inner turmoil, confessing that seeing Hannah and Pepe together made him feel physically sick. He expressed his inner conflict, admitting that while he wants to support his friends on the show, it is challenging for him to witness Hannah and Pepe’s burgeoning relationship, as he believed he and Hannah had a special connection.
The unexpected turn of events has left Charlie contemplating a potential return to the show during the mid-season twist known as “Casa Amor,” where couples are separated to explore new connections. Charlie expressed his desire to reunite with Hannah and possibly rekindle their relationship, feeling that he was robbed of a genuine Love Island experience with her.
Despite the heartache he endured, Charlie remains hopeful for a second chance with Hannah and hopes to confront the situation head-on if given the opportunity to return to the show. He emphasised his willingness to fight for their connection and acknowledged the complexities of navigating emotions in a competitive reality TV setting.
As Love Island USA continues to unfold, viewers can expect more twists and turns in the romantic entanglements of the Islanders. Charlie’s story serves as a poignant reminder of the unpredictable nature of reality TV and the emotional rollercoaster that contestants often endure in their quest for love and connection.
