"It was a funny time, I went on there, I wasn't looking for any...," he said to Chloe about his second reality show stint.
The host replied: "Yeah I don't think people do go on there to do that."
The former bricklayer was honest about his decision to sign on for the Channel 4 series, saying: "I went on it as it was a business opportunity, for the money."
Liam explained that he hadn't always been in a position to be offered such lucrative opportunities, he explained: "If you had have asked me two years ago when I was on a building site, 'You're going to go on a show, do a couple of days and get paid this', I would have been like 'F****** hell!'"
"I would have done backflips," he said.
He admitted that it was a bold move considering how soon it was after his split from Millie, Liam said: "I knew it was a controversial thing because it was two months after me and Millie broke up.
"I wasn't ready to be out dating, especially on TV, but you've got to take these opportunities," he summed up his decision.
The recent news of the Love Island winners doesn't come as a complete surprise as the Welsh star said during his Celebs Go Dating appearance that he still had hope for them.
"Just never say never, in the future we could rekindle," Liam said at the time.
