Love Island star Ellie Chadwick has reportedly walked out of the villa just days before the final, following a heartbreaking love triangle. The 25-year-old had been struggling since her partner, Finley Maddock, began talking to bombshell Elicia Bailey, and has now decided to leave the show, according to sources.
Ellie's Departure Confirmed by Source
The Sun reported that a source confirmed Ellie's departure, teasing dramatic scenes to come. A source said: “This is one where the time difference between show action and real life really matters. Viewers have seen Ellie threatening to leave across recent episodes, so the news of her now quitting won’t feel like a surprise. But in real time, her and Fin reconnected at the recoupling a few days ago so her decision to now leave is a shock. Viewers will see the dramatic action play out in an episode soon.”
Favourite to Win Before Love Triangle
Ellie and Finley were previously thought to be a sure thing to win the show, with many considering them favourites. However, Elicia's arrival turned Finley's head, leading to tension. Fellow contestant Toni Laites even suggested that Finley had “given away £50k” by pursuing Elicia, referencing the prize money.
Viewers Saw Ellie Threatening to Leave
In recent episodes, viewers have seen Ellie threatening to leave the villa, making her departure not entirely unexpected. However, the timing—just days before the final—has shocked fans. The recoupling that occurred a few days ago in real time saw Ellie and Finley reconnect, making her decision to quit even more surprising.
