Love Island LIVE: Two contestants get kicked out of the villa - leaving some of the least popular people to survive

...and breathe. If people thought Tuesday's episode was dramatic, the latest show blew all the Love Island drama out of the water.

After only just breaking up with Laura, Wes grew incredibly close with Megan, with kissing and false apologies in near constant rotation. 

When it was least expected, and all the attention was on this horrifying love triangle, host Caroline Flack arrived with news that two contestants would be leaving.

After a public vote, the men and women were split apart, leaving the opposite sex to decide who wouldn't survive the double elimination.

So what was the result? You can catch up on all the episode's biggest events - as they happened - below.
