Love Island: Models are most likely to get dumped from show

Spoiler alert - after Shannon Singh got booted out of the Love Island villa last night, fans were shocked to see the stunning model dumped so early in the show.

However, according to the data from past Love Island seasons, islanders who are professional models are most likely to be dumped from the villa.

The data analysed by Bionic, a business comparison site, shows that even though you are more likely to join the cast of Love Island if you have a career in modelling, you are also “17% more likely to get dumped, no matter how camera-ready you are.”

Over the previous six seasons of the beloved match-making show, 22 out of 32 professional models have been dumped from the villa.

With Shannon, the only officially announced model this series, already being dumped the data lines up.

After modelling, the most likely careers that villa dumpees are likely to have include being a PT, hair and beauty professionals, office workers and tradies.

According to the data, athletes and students have a 6% chance of being dumped too.

Despite being the most likely to be dumped, professional models have the best chance of getting to take part in the show.

Previous islanders with a modelling background include Page 3 model Jess Hayes from series 1 and the former Miss Great Britain Zara Holland who took part in series 2.

With a 16% chance of appearing on Love Island, modelling is the most common career in the villa.

In second place comes the tradies. Seventeen singles, including this series’ Liam Reardon and Brad McClelland, have left their tools behind to step onto the beachy shores of Majorca so far.

Next comes athletes like boxing star Tommy Fury and basketball player Ovie Soko both from series 5 - Love Island has seen a total of 16 athletes looking for love on our tellies.

The data analysts compared all the Islanders from series 1 all the way to series 7 to see what job titles islanders who were dumped held, and also compared which jobs islanders who walked or won the show held.

As for who is most likely to win, the performers come on top.

Singers, dancers and theatrical professionals are in the majority with a whopping 25% of previous winners being performers.

Welsh actress Amber Davies and singer Paige Turley have both taken the crown and bagged the £50,000 prize on the show.
