Love Island aired a shocking dumping as Mehdi Edno and Mal Nicol were voted out of the villa on Tuesday night.
The elimination came after viewers were tasked with voting for their favourite boys and girls on Monday night, and the results were announced on Tuesday in brutal scenes. After all Islanders were gathered around the fire pit, some of the Islanders began receiving texts confirming those who would be leaving.
Zachariah announced that Mal would be leaving the villa, and Leah delivered the news to Mehdi. Speaking in the exit interviews, Mehdi said: "It’s always a sad feeling when you have to leave somewhere, but that was such a great experience, I’m so thankful for it."
He added: "I’ve met incredible people, and made friends for life. I feel like I could’ve found love with Whitney, so it’s to be continued on that one."
Speaking about who he hopes will win, Mehdi said: "Ella and Tyrique, they have been a strong couple since day one - they always make the effort with each other."
He continued: "They are both so genuine and like each other. From inside the Villa it was so beautiful to see and I can’t wait to watch them blossom even more."
Scots star Mal had a short but sweet time in the villa as she was voted out on Tuesday night. Speaking in her exit interview, Mal touched on her romance with Sammy: "That connection with Sammy was just so innocent and pure, it was lovely. Short, obviously.
"From the moment I first met him to the last night, we had a very mature conversation. He's grown so much. The most amazing thing to see in a person is growth. I could tell by the way he was acting around me.
"From what I’d seen before, he’s so different. I think before he didn’t really think before he spoke."
Mal also backed fellow Scot Ella to take home the prize at the end of the season, saying: "Ella and Tyrique - they’re fire and fire, but it works. I love them and they have potential to win."
Love Island continues on ITV2 and ITVX each weeknight at 9pm.
