Love Island viewers were left in tears on Tuesday night as a shock double eviction saw fan favourite Alima and bombshell Ryan dumped from the villa. The unexpected twist occurred during a recoupling that left the Islanders reeling.
The drama unfolded when Tommy received a text summoning the Islanders to the firepit, where new bombshells Billykiss and Ryan stood before them. Billykiss was given the first choice, and Conor, who had been coupled with Alima, stood up to recouple with her, citing a desire to explore their connection. This left Alima single.
Next, Ryan had his chance, but no girl stood up for him, leaving him single alongside Alima. However, instead of being allowed to couple up or remain single, the pair were abruptly told they had been dumped from the island, sparking tears from Yasmin and Toni.
Alima's exit came just as she was building a connection with Ben, while Ryan's journey was cut short after only entering the villa the previous day. Fans expressed outrage on social media, with one writing: 'ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? ALIMA DESERVED BETTER!'
Earlier in the episode, Harrison confessed to Toni that he had kissed Helena on the terrace again, causing further tension. With Shakira and Harry also on rocky ground, the fallout from the double dumping is set to reshape dynamics in the villa.
