In yesterday's episode it was revealed that the villa's longest lasting couple of 2021 were over.

Liberty Poole broke down in floods of tears as she told Jake that it was time to call it a day on their romance.

Speaking to Faye Winter: "If I'm not making him happy I don't wanna be in this relationship. All I can do is be me. I can't be fake, I can't pretend I am happy when I am not.

"I'm not taking anything away from Jake. He is a great guy, I just don’t think we are right for each other."

A source told MailOnline: "It was a really tough decision for the couple to make, but it felt like the right thing to do.

"They'd given it their all on camera and wanted to let their friends in other couples have a chance at winning.

"Saying goodbye was emotional for all the Islanders, as they've become so close, like family, but it won't be long before they're all reunited.

"It's not 100 per cent over for Jake and Liberty, there are still a lot of feelings involved, so who knows what will happen on the future."
