Asked if he would take part again after some of the show’s most famous faces returned to the villa his year – Sammy told The Sun: “Seeing as love Island was the best experience of my life, I’d be silly to turn it down.
“Never say never, I’ll definitely consider it.”
Discussing his love life, Sammy went on to say: “I do a bit of talking here and there with the odd girl, but right now, I’m not really looking for anything serious.
“I just wanna focus on myself this year and make the most of the position I’m in.”

Sammy was left blindsided last year when Jess told him it was over by phone - choosing not to wait for a face to face conversation before making the news public earlier this month.
He was stunned when news of their split leaked online while Jess was partying in Ibiza with pals.
Previously speaking about his breakup from Jess, Sammy said: "To be totally clear - I at least wanted a face to face conversation to see if our relationship could be saved and felt this would be a respectful way forward.
"We had the most incredible experience winning Love Island and I genuinely saw a future with Jess. I was committed and respectful to our relationship. Unfortunately things don't always work out the way you'd hoped."
