A Love Island couple who were tipped to make it all the way to the final have reportedly been dumped from the villa by ex-Islanders, after footage left their fellow contestants questioning the integrity of their connection.
According to The Sun, the dramatic moment unfolded at the fire pit when several former contestants returned to the villa and voted out the pair, in scenes set to air during Sunday evening's episode.
Ex-Islanders, including Harry Cooksley's ex Emma Munro, Billykiss Azeez, and loved-up duo Harrison Solomon and Lauren Wood, were among those said to have cast their votes to send the couple packing.
While the identities of the 'dumped Islanders' haven't been revealed, a source told The Sun that the returning castmates were left stunned after watching footage that allegedly exposed cracks in the couple's romance.
They told the publication: 'This couple have been a big part of this series, so this is a shocking moment.
'But having watched it back, ex-Islanders have become privy to action they weren’t fully aware of, and it left them more than questioning the integrity of this connection.

But as the Islanders were enjoying their dates, an unexpected text saw the atmosphere shift.
