Love Island's first dumping sees Afia booted out after Paige saved

Love Island lost another contestant last night with the first dumping in the series.

Bombshell Afia Tonkmor got her marching orders after a shock recoupling twist on the ITV 2 reality dating show.

All of the housemates had been told to gather round the firepit in the latest episode, which put singletons Afia and Paige Thorne at risk of having to leave.

It came after the arrival of Gemma Owen's ex Jacques O'Neill on Sunday.

The group had no idea what was being planned for them as they started another day in paradise in the luxury Majorcan villa.

But after a surprise text came through in the evening, shockwaves were sent through the pad.

Liam Llewellyn had stunned everyone with his surprise exit on Friday, after admitting he wasn't feeling himself in the villa.

His decision meant that single girls Paige and Afia were saved from having to leave on Friday, but their fate was finally sealed on Monday.

Afia got a text that read: "Afia and Paige, you are both single. Please stand in the front of the fire pit."

Jacques, 23, had the power to decide who went, and did so by choosing to couple up with Paige.

Viewers had been informed before the episode that a dumping was very likely going to take place, and the first-look preview revealed what was in store.

After leaving, Afia said she wasn't put off looking for love, despite the fact she wasn't successful this time round.

She said: "Initially I was attracted to Dami but then throughout the experience it was more Ikenna. I did get the vibe that things were going well for Indiyah and Ikenna quite quickly.

"Obviously I’m going to miss everyone in the Villa but I’m going to keep trying to find love. I’m sure Mr Right is out there somewhere."

Love Island airs every night at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub.
