"I had a bit of a fever and I went to see the medic, and basically they just wanted to send me to hospital to double check everything," he exclusively told The Sun Online after he was dumped from the villa with Belle Hassan.

"It turned out I was a little bit dehydrated.

"I was drinking loads of water, but I must stress that ITV checked you are drinking enough every single day, they check you once and then again at dinner time.

"The problem was I was training in the heat, and I was drinking a lot of coffee, so it was just overnight they had to rehydrate me and put a drip in me."

Anton was missing from the episode on July 17 as he received treatment and then returned to the villa.

"With regards to me going back it was amazing, it gave me time to miss everyone in that period of time," he said.

"You take it for granted even the beds, the beds are more comfy and I missed my bed.

"And in the villa it feels like my home, I felt like part of the furniture, so was soon as I left it felt weird and I was just dying to get back."

Anton admitted that he's "gutted" to leave the villa just before Monday night's final.

"Being the first guy in I wanted to be the last guy to leave, but it was a strong line up in the end, and I think anyone could be in the final."

And he insists he's a "changed man" after taking part in the show.

"The reason I did Love island was to challenge myself to come and find someone, and there’s all these challenges and obstacles thrown at you, and I think me and Belle passed them."

He also explained that giving his number to a shopkeeper while out shopping with the boys was "just banter".

"With regards to giving out my number it was a complete banter thing, if it was any consolation the number was not real and was just banter for the guys," he said.

"As you can see I f**k up a lot, but I’m consistent with it, and it was purely banter with it.

"With regards to me and Belle I am a changed man in terms of I would never cheat, I want to see where mine and Belle’s relationship goes, and I’m going to give it a really good shot."

Anton - who was one of the most popular contestants - is still coupled up with BelleAnton came face-to-face with Belle's hardman dad Tamer Hassan on tonight's show - but after a nervous start, took it in his stride.

"He’s a big guy, isn’t he. He took me under his arm and told me he is going to take me for a little quiet drive when we get out, and how the conversation goes depends on whether I come back or not," he joked.

"But he welcomed me into his home, her mother welcomed me up for dinner so there was nothing more I could have wanted from that conversation."
