What she was looking for in a man seemed pretty straight forward – a millionaire with a boat!

But sadly for Natasha Cherie Webster Love Island failed to deliver on either front and last night, the Instagram model was the last woman standing in a brutal re-coupling ceremony which saw Josh pick Cassidy over her.

In this exclusive exit interview, NW chats to the 23-year-old about getting the flick, her grand plan to find The One and who she thinks will win.

Hey Tash, how are you feeling about getting the boot?

It sucks that my time has ended already. I was hoping to meet the man of my dreams in the villa but unfortunately I didn’t even make a connection with any of the guys.

Not feeling too good about that.

Did you think that might happen?

I thought I would walk in on day one and have a crush on every single guy there but it just didn’t happen for me.

So then I hoped someone would walk through the door that would be my type and be interested in me but it didn’t work out that way.

Do you think you lost out because of the order of how Mac and the boys got to pick?

I had felt pretty safe until Cassidy said she had a crush on Josh and they went on their date. Obviously sparks began to fly between those two and it was clear they were going to re-couple.

I knew Elais would re-couple with Francoise, and Grant had told Jaxon to get to know Mac – which left me out.

I kinda had a hunch it was going to play out that way so at least I was able to prepare for it a little bit. Things would have all worked better if Mac chose Josh because then Jaxon would have picked me.

“It sucks that my time has ended already!”

Do you feel Cassidy has a bit of a game plan by picking Josh?

I really hope she has genuine feelings for Josh because of what happened between Josh and Tayla. He just wants a girl who’s genuinely keen on him.

But as soon as Grant broke up with Cass, she was suddenly all over Elias and then when she saw he was keen on Millie, she turned her attention to Josh. If she’s playing a game that would suck because it would hurt Josh’s feelings and it also means that I’ve been dumped from the island for no reason and I lose out on the chance to meet the love of my life.

Did you guys get to talk it out as she grew closer to Josh?

She didn’t talk to me at all about it until the morning of the re-coupling. I just thought it was weird she didn’t take me aside earlier. I knew what was going on but she should have at least checked I was OK with it because I was one of her good friends.

Mac was initially attracted to Eden – is there any chance he would stray if Mac made a move?

No, Eden is super faithful so Erin has nothing to worry about.

She is just someone who speaks her mind and doesn’t want anyone going near her man but they are a solid couple. They’ve got my vote to win!

Tash thinks Eden and Erin have it in the bag.

If you could be voted back into the villa, would you return?

If somebody that was suitable for me was in the villa, then I would 110% like to go back in. If I see him on TV and know we could click then I would definitely want to get back in there.

Being on TV means you’ll definitely have had a few guys slide in your DMs. Will you look and see if there’s any potential?

Yeah I will go through my DMs and see if there’s anyone suitable. You never know! If there’s someone suitably to go on a date with then I will because I just want to meet somebody.

I’m pretty good at reading people so if they’re interested for the wrong reasons then I’ll find out quite quickly.

What’s next for you?

I’m going to head back to work and get back into a routine but I can’t wait for the show to finish.

I want Eden and Erin to win and then she’ll move over to Sydney and we can all hang out. There was even talk about us all getting matching flamingo tattoos to celebrate our time in the villa.

Josh had to pick between Cass and Tash.

Did you hear about the fact the Oz villa and the UK villa might swap in some way during the series?

I thought the Oz villa and the UK villa could merge but now I’m not sure if it will happen. I would be so gutted if it does happen because I’m basically half-English – my mum married an Englishman, I could marry an English man too. I would be pretty devo if that happens and I miss out.

And there’s a rumour that Chris and Kem could be heading in too?

I’m in love with Chris. If he was to come in, oh my God I would be so devo. I need to have his babies, he’s so gorgeous. I would definitely find my way back into the villa.

How about being the host of Love Island? You’re a natural on TV!

I’d love to. I hope I would have found love by that stage.

I would love to be a host and take Sophie Monk’s role. I would totally love that opportunity.

Watch out Sophie, Tash wants your job!
