Helena Ford chose to couple up with Connor in the first episode of Love Island 2025, after reading just his dating profile.
As the pair got to know each other, Connor’s lack of relationships raised alarms for Helena and viewers watching.
Connor confessed: “To be honest, yeah, I’ve only had one girlfriend.”
Helena asked: “How long was that?”
Connor replied: “I’d say, like, eight weeks.”
Helena couldn’t resist laughing in his face, then asking: “How did it last eight weeks?”
He added: “We were seeing each other for a while, but she was only my girlfriend for eight weeks.
“And I think it’s been two years since then, and I’ve grown a lot. So yeah, I feel like I’m kind of a bit ready now.”
But fans think this is a major red flag and it sparked a frenzy on X (formerly Twitter) as one said: “EIGHT WEEKS?? Oh Connor”.
Another added: “Only my girlfriend for 8 weeks”.
A third penned: “Babe that does not count as a relationship #loveisland”.
Also in the episode, Conor’s said he is looking for “someone who is really sure of themselves, ambitious, a bit of a go-getter and good craic. I like dark eyes and I don’t mind a dominant woman”.
When it comes to turn offs, he added: “Being too needy, or needing to do everything together.
“I like someone to be independent and do their own thing and then we come together and do our thing.”
However, Connor broke the show rules before he even entered the villa, after he’d revealed he sought advice from past winner Greg O’Shea.
Islanders are forbidden from revealing their involvement in the series before it starts.
Fellow Irish rugby player Greg, 30, won series five alongside Amber Gill.
Conor shared: “I know Greg through rugby circles so I spoke to him about going on Love Island.
“He just said ‘be yourself, it’s a really really really cool experience that not many people get.
“So enjoy it and yeah take it day by day and if you can be yourself you can’t really go too far wrong’.
“So that’s my plan. He was like ‘my advice might be a bit different from others because I won’.”
He added: “I’m 25 and I’ve only had one relationship and it wasn’t very long.
“So I feel like I’m maybe doing something wrong or maybe I’m not in the right places.
“So, hopefully this is the right place, and it should be, you know, because you’re in a lovely villa surrounded by beautiful people, so I’m hoping that this is the one.”

THE HISTORY OF DUNNES STORES
DUNNES Stores opened its first store on Patrick Street in Cork in 1944 - and it was an instant hit.
Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland’s first ‘shopping frenzy’.
During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne’s ‘Better Value’ bargains.
Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 – starting with apples and oranges.
The retailer said: “Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town.
“Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong.
“Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas.”
The retailer’s first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960.
They added: “In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed.
“Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England.”
Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.
