‘I don't have time for men!'

Shaughna Phillips became a firm fan favourite during her stint on Love Island back in 2020 thanks to her no-nonsense attitude.

She created one of the most memorable moments of the series when she said the iconic phrase “congrats, hun” after her love interest Callum Jones chose to recouple with new girl Molly Smith.

But Shaughna has well and truly moved on – and admits she’s happier than ever being single. “I do not have the time for men in my life,” the 27-year-old says.

Instead, the star is busy focusing on work. And she certainly has a lot on her plate having just launched her own fitness, nutrition, and lifestyle plan, Be You With Shaughna.

Shaughna, who often promotes body positivity on social media, tells us the app is a “dream come true” as she reflects on the past two years.

Here, she also opens up about why she’s been put off dating apps and being honest about cosmetic surgery…

Hi Shaughna! How is single life treating you?

I’m still very much single. I mean, I don’t really class myself as “single, single” as I have my two puppies, who I love to bits!

Do you use dating apps?
