Shane Lynch Leaves 'Love Island'

For a woman...

Monday 07th Aug 2006

?Love Island? contestant Shane Lynch quit the reality TV show last after admitting he was missing someone special back at home.

Shane explained (in great detail) why he was leaving the show.

According to ITV.com, he said: ?I?ve come to a realisation that I?m far from a man who is perfect, far from a man who makes no mistakes and I have certainly made some mistakes with a certain person back home.
 
?I guess I?m ready to go and fight for what I want, to go and make amends to realise that there is no woman like a woman I know back home. I need to put the mistakes right. To cut a long story short, my time has come and I need to leave this place.
 
?I?ve come to a point of realisation what?s right for me and some mistakes I?ve made which I need to go home and put right and that?s to do with a woman at home.
 
?I wanted to complete this journey I wanted to experience what this whole show was about and through that experience I am really pleased to say that whoever has been brought in here but there is nothing and nobody that comes close to what I already know and I need to fight for that.
 
?When you are caught in something and you can?t see clearly and you don?t really know what?s right, this time away has put me 100% right, I?ve never spent this sort of thought time with others before, with women of the world and those kind of experiences and it compares nothing to what I know, not even a scratch on the surface of what this amazing person back home is. I need to go and take her back and put right.?
 
 ?It?s been confirmed in my heart and I don?t want to wade it out in here and mosey on back and say, ?By the way, I really wanted to leave but I didn?t?. That doesn?t work for me. The truth is there?s somebody who really owns my heart and that?s where it lies right now.?

?I need to find out if she feels the same. A man can only live in hope and by all means I?ve come out here and that said a lot of things I guess in coming onto a show like this to find love. I don?t know if that has jeopardised anything.



 
?My terms of a relationships stems on to be engaged, to get married and to date someone is a completely different matter and yes to get to know someone you date them and yes we have dated. It?s not just some random woman; it?s someone I?ve known quite some time.?
 
?I?m not a fella who makes rash decisions I?m not a guy who comes to a point of irrational behaviour and I?ve thought long and hard about how I?m feeling and being in here. This place is wicked, it?s beautiful but I know myself well and my time is done here.?
 
?There?s a big thing of, like I?ve said, I?ve made mistakes, there is someone in my heart, I came here like everyone else to find love and to understand life, I?ve always been the kind of guy who sees a bigger picture.
 
?I didn?t fancy any of the 5 girls, if the point of coming here is to find love and its not happened, you then have to come to a realisation of what are you doing here, yeah I could ride it out for another 3 weeks, for the sake of it, but its not about that for me, it?s about doing what's right.
 
?If I was to stay on this show....  I?d be cheating myself, but not only would I be cheating the others here; I would be cheating the most important people, those at home, those spending their hard earned money on keeping me in here. It?s opened my mind and my eyes and if I didn?t come here I wouldn?t have come to this point, those people voting have helped me come to possibly a life changing decision. As long as I?m in here I won?t know the answers to the questions. I don't deserve to be here, I want something more than to be here.
 
?This place has been amazing, it?s been a lot of things but it?s wrong of me to stay now. I feel disconnected and I tried to challenge and beat my feelings and it comes back to lying to myself. It?s been eating me up a lot and there?s not much more that I can focus my mind on to take me away from what?s eating me up and concentrate on something else.?

Shane broke the news about his imminent departure to his fellow contestants over dinner saying: ?Before anyone leaves the table, Calum you will spend a nice journey, I say that because tonight was my last dinner. It?s no fault of anyone, as a man, I?m an honest guy and something within me has been dishonest, I need to make some wrongs right.?
 
?Something today hit me like a sledge hammer, I?ve tried in many ways to get past, and this place gives you a lot of time to ponder.  I pondered to continue on in here, if I stayed here I?d be lying to everyone, I?m not in the right place here, I need to go set straight what I did wrong. It?s been fantastic.?
 
 
The girls took the news bravely, but young Lee was in tears at news and said to Shane:  ?I don?t want you to go. It?s always you I come and see and you tell me what to do right, I wouldn?t have a fucking clue. I don?t want you to go, I need you here. Who is always there for me, you are.?
 
?I feel like I?ve had someone to fall back on it?s like a comfort net or a safety blanket and you would talk me through what is wrong and right. You told me this morning about my language round the girls.  I need you to point me in the wrong direction. I will get tied to a post with my pants down if you leave.?

Shane later returned the brotherly sentiments and said of Lee: ?Lee made me cry today, I?ve never had a brother and if I ever had one, I?d of loved it to be him. He?s so uncontrollable at times but he realises he?s done something wrong and comes for advice but it?s only fools who don?t listen. He fools about but asks what?s right and wrong. It saddens me to see him shed a tear today. I can?t wait to see him when he gets out of there.?

After packing his bags and hugging his fellow contestants Shane Lynch left the Island?just like that.
