Love Island star Ellie Chadwick has finally revealed what was inside her viral wicker handbag, which became an internet sensation during her time in the villa. Speaking to ITV, she disclosed the contents: her lip combo, perfume, and deodorant. "Honestly, it was a giggle," she said. "I didn't carry it around everywhere. I carried it around after I came back from the date with Kavan."
Departure from the Villa
Ellie chose to leave the Love Island villa alongside Finley following a dramatic public vote on July 16. Jordon and Elicia were first eliminated as the least popular boy and girl. Then, in a ruthless twist, Islanders were forced to pick two more to leave, resulting in Finley and Martha being dumped. Ellie opted to depart with Finley, confessing she had faith in their bond. She later spoke candidly about Finley's "poor communication" and her devastating departure.
The Viral Handbag Auction
Ellie's wicker Prada handbag was put up for auction at an eBay Live event hosted by Olivia Attwood, featuring pre-loved clothing worn by Islanders from Series 13 and previous seasons. While many items sold for around £100 or less, Ellie's handbag fetched an impressive £1,900. The bag had mystified viewers, who wondered what she carried inside the villa.
Predictions for Remaining Couples
Since her departure, Ellie has shared her predictions for which couples will last. She told ITV: "Tommy and Yas. I don't know what it is, I can just see it. I can see the two of them working completely. I also see Lorenzo and Julia. I do see all of them going the distance. I really do. But with Tommy and Yas, I saw their connection in Casa and saw how instant it was. I just believe in it."
Love Island airs Sunday to Friday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
