Love Island star admits to 'stealing' item from dumped co-star as 'souvenir'

Love Island fans were left in stitches following Zachariah Noble's 'theft' from another co-star following their brutal dumping on Wednesday.

The popular ITV2 reality dating show began in devastating fashion on Wednesday when Mehdi Edno, 26, and Mal Nicol, 25, were kicked off the Spanish villa for good.

But Zachariah did not seem to be affected by the loss of his co-star when he admitted that he had "stolen" from the departed model and communications manager.

After the Frenchman had departed for the final time, Zachariah spoke to the boys in the bedroom when he said he had "stolen a pair of Mehdi’s socks" as part of a "souvenir ting".

And it certainly did not go unnoticed by Love Island viewers who were quick to comment on the situation.

One fan wrote: "Zach took Medhi’s socks and said Souvenir ting." A second viewer commented on Twitter: "Zach actually has a good sense of humour tho saving Mehdi’s socks as a souvenir."

Another said: "Former islanders did say people steal and they don’t know who it is and Zach is like I stole Mehdi’s socks."

A fourth person added: "Zach stealing a pair of Mehdi’s socks was NOT on my List for tonight."

Tuesday's episode offered another savage dumping in the tenth series of Love Island as two popular Islanders left the villa.

After viewers were tasked with voting for their favourite boys and girls on Monday night, the results were announced with one boy and one girl exiting.

All Islanders were gathered around the fire pit, and some of the Islanders began receiving texts confirming those who would be leaving.

The Islanders discovered that two of them would be going home immediately, and the decision was announced via text message.

Zachariah had to announce which girl was going home, and Leah was tasked with reading out the name of the dumped boy.

The axed girl was newcomer Mal and the axed boy was original Islander Mehdi - leaving the Islanders reeling and his partner Whitney in shock.

None of the Islanders had known in advance that an exit was looming, and host Maya Jama did not return to the villa to host proceedings.

Instead, they all had to wait to hear their fates via their phones, and as Mal's exit was announced she shared she was fine, as she said goodbye to her current partner Sammy.

Mehdi's exit came as a huge shock to the group given he had been there since day one, and was in a pairing with Whitney for weeks.

Viewers had been left unimpressed by his treatment of her in recent episodes, but it seemed the pair did genuinely like each other.

Love Island continues tomorrow night at 9PM on ITV2 and ITVX.
