Charlie later said the exit was difficult because he felt he and Hannah had built a genuine connection and that he was robbed of more time in the villa. In an interview with Decider, he talked about how it felt to leave the show while Hannah continued:

She’s gonna continue her journey now. I think that’s what pains me the most about it is that there’s gonna be so many other guys that get to have their moments now, and mine was robbed. Mine was genuinely taken away from me. It wasn’t like she chose someone else and I was dumped. Okay, hands up. That’s it, I walk away. I was robbed.
