Model Sophie Anderton has been snubbed once again - she is smitten with fellow Love Islander Shane Lynch but he's not interested.

Sophie was left in tears yesterday after the 11 contestants paired up and left her as the odd one out.

Sympathetic viewers voted her and ex-Boyzone star Shane into the Love Shack together and the 29-year-old beauty immediately fell for his Irish charms.

"I think the public did quite well. I was happy to be voted in," she said.

"He is a really good looking guy. I go more for the eyes and the smile. He does have really beautiful eyes. It's more from inside. There is a spark."
But Shane - who is devoutly religious - doesn't feel the same.

He confessed in The Beach Hut: "At this present moment Sophie isn't my type.
"Someone who reminds me of my sister is not a good look. As far as relationships go, she just reminds me too much of family. She looks like one of my twin sisters."

Meanwhile glamour girl Alicia Douvall faces eviction from the ITV show on Friday.

After Sophie and Shane departed for the Love Shack, show bosses told the remaining nine to swap partners.

The Streets singer Leo Ihenacho, who had previously partnered Alicia, dumped her in favour of Bianca Gascoigne.

All the others coupled up - leaving surgically enhanced Alicia as the celebrity singleton. As a result she was automatically put up for eviction.

"Why did you do this to me? You've broken my heart!" she wailed at Leo.
"What I have done to you? I don't know why I'm being nice to you."

And she warned: "I'm going to do something to you in your sleep. I'm going to humiliate you like you've humiliated me."

She added: "No-one wants to be the last one and I feel like a gooseberry. It is embarrassing and humiliating but that's life, isn't it?"

Leo felt guilty about his decision. "I feel like I've betrayed Alicia. I feel ashamed," he confessed.

Alicia tried to put on a brave face by cooking everyone dinner. But her attempts to make beans on toast flopped when she couldn't work out how to make the toast - and instead served up beans on bread. "I have a housekeeper," she explained. "I'm not a natural cook."

Earlier the couples had to answer questions about one another in the Day Trip Decider.

Strictly Come Dancing's Brendan Cole and ex-Eternal singer Kelle Bryan won and were rewarded with a fishing trip.

Brendan said afterwards: "Kelle and I are doing really well together. We've got a really special kind of bond. It was magic. It was one of those really special days."

Paul Gascoigne's stepdaughter Bianca, 19, had a good cry about being the baby of the group.

"The whole age thing really gets to me. I don't want to be treated as the youngest any more. I want to be accepted," she said.

"I don't want people to feel for me because of my age, I want them to accept me for me."
