Love Island's Marvin Brooks was dramatically dumped from the ITV2 show on Thursday evening, as he predicted that Curtis Pritchard would pursue a romance with newcomer Francesca Allen.
The 29-year-old former royal navy officer, who had coupled up with Maura Higgins, claimed that Francesca was 'more Curtis' type' than Maura. He said: 'I feel Francesca is more Curtis’ type and I think their romance will blossom. But it won’t happen easily because Maura will definitely have her say in the matter.'
Marvin's exit came after a turbulent time in the villa. He had initially impressed Maura in Casa Amor, but their relationship fizzled out after she pied him off in a double dumping. Despite this, Marvin admitted he was clueless as to why things didn't work out, saying: 'I have no idea why it fizzled out! We just went our separate ways and I think that may have been because of the problems Amy and Curtis were having.'
Proving he wasn't bitter, Marvin said Maura gave him the opportunity to come into the villa at Casa Amor and then gave Chris the chance in the latest recoupling. He also admitted that grafting in the villa was challenging, saying: 'The most challenging aspect was trying to get to know the girls on a deeper level. I wanted to pick people on personality and not just on looks.'
Marvin has backed Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae Hague to win the show, though he also noted that Michael Griffiths and Joanna Chimonides have been getting closer.
