Tonight's Love Island saw more contestants ripped apart from their pals and loved ones in another savage dumping. Couples Deji and Lacey and Nathalia and Reece were sent packing from the villa in a shock twist on Sunday night (July 24).
After taking part in a fun-filled sports day challenge, the contestants were quickly brought back to reality when they were asked to gather around the firepit as the sun sets. In Friday night’s show, the British public were given the chance to vote for who they believe is the most compatible couple, leaving the Islanders with the fewest votes at risk of being sent home immediately.
Newcomers Nathalia and Reece were forced to form the only friendship couple after failing to connect with any of the OG stars, but despite having only entered the villa last week, have already left. Newly formed couple Deji and Lacey, who had been getting close to each other since last week, are also heading home after being dumped.
