Love Island beauty Paige Thorne was sensationally given the boot alongside current beau Adam Collard just days before tonight's final.
But her time in the luxury villa could have been a lot shorter if she had decided to up sticks when former partner Jacques O'Neill quit the show.
Paramedic Paige and rugby player Jacques had been a strong couple until his head was turned during the infamous Casa Amor.
It led to a rocky patch for the pair and while they appeared to be over the worst of it, Paige was then drawn to bombshell Adam, leaving Jacques to walk away from Paige and the show.
Some viewers said the Welsh lass should have left with the sports star, but she opted to give it a go with the Geordie hunk who was in the villa for the second time.
And in her exit chat, Paige described her time on the dating show as "a rollercoaster of emotions" but refused to say she was disappointed to leave the show so close to the final.
She admitted she had a feeling Jacques might leave the villa and explained it was "really hard hearing him say it out loud".
However, she knew she couldn't change his mind and revealed she "fully supported his decision".
When asked if she had considered leaving at the same time she said: "It did cross my mind a little bit to leave with him, but things hadn’t been 100% all the way through, and the fact that they weren’t was what made me think.
"The fact that I stayed and I gave 100% to the experience and found something new and something more suited towards me just goes to show that everything happens for a reason."
And she continued to say her and Adam have been going strong since day one and are already making plans for their future.
"He’s coming to see me in Swansea and I’m going to Newcastle," she said. "We’re already talking about holidays and Christmas plans. I definitely see a future."
Adam also discussed Jacques' exit, saying: "I just wanted to make sure he was OK first and that he was doing it for the right reasons and not doing it just because it was me.
"Don’t get me wrong, I knew I wanted to be with the girl he was with. At the same time, we gave each other a hug before he left. I went up and shook his hand. We both know the score, we both know what we signed up for and I wouldn’t even be surprised if we ended up being mates on the outside to be honest."
