‘She knows it will be her third stint but she doesn’t feel like she had a great shot when she did All Stars as she went in so late into the series, so it was really hard to get any momentum with any of the lads in there as they were all coupled up.’
Daily Mail has contacted Samie’s representative for comment.
During her first stint on Love Island, the beauty found romance with Tom Clare and made it all the way to the final.
However, their relationship fizzled out just a few months after leaving the villa.
Earlier this year, she returned for Love Island: All Stars but was eliminated shortly after arriving, having entered late in the series.
Despite her best efforts to couple up with Luca Bish – who was paired with Grace Jackson – Samie was soon sent packing.
In the weeks following her exit, she sparked a short-lived romance with I’m A Celebrity winner Sam Thompson.
A source revealed the pair had ended their two-month romance after things ‘fizzled out’ between them.

Sam started dating Samie in April and the couple were later spotted passionately kissing after attending Olivia Attwood ‘s birthday party.
It was Sam’s first public relationship since his separation from girlfriend of five years Zara McDermott, 28, who is now with former One Direction singer, Louis Tomlinson .
A source confirmed that the pair decided against taking their romance any further due to their busy work schedules.
A source told MailOnline: ‘Sam and Samie’s romance just fizzled out, there was so much attraction between them initially, but their busy schedules made it difficult for them to spend quality time together.
‘For Sam, it was his first relationship since his split from Zara and the feeling is he would rather concentrate on work before getting into another long-term commitment.’
