"This journey has taught me to never underestimate how important friendships are.
"I was so close with both the girls and boys in the villa and I love them all individually.
"I'm a tough cookie and rarely cry but everytime one of my girls left I was always in tears. The relationships you form are so special, I’m so proud of everyone and think we will all be friends for life."
Jess also described herself as a "big sister" in the villa and says she only has nice words for everyone - including her love rival, Harriett Blackmore.
Harriet and Jess were embroiled in a love triangle with Ronnie Vint during much of the series and they came to blows on several occasions.
But she added: "I was like everyone’s big sister but Samantha, Nicole and Uma were so lovely and people I hope to have in my life for a very long time.
"Nicole for the win, she’s my little sister and best friend.
"I only have nice things to say about everyone, even Harriett was lovely although we didn’t see eye to eye on the odd occasion."
Jess was dumped from Love Island on Wednesday night following the latest public vote.
