The seventh series of the hit ITV2 reality series has seen a litany of contestants be shown the exit door already – and tonight’s episode (16 August) featured two more.
Having been put at risk by the contestants’ own poll for the “least compatible couple”, four couples’ survival was put to a public vote, with the least popular couple being removed from the villa.
At the episode’s end, it was revealed that Priya and Brett were the unlucky pair.
Over the course of the episode, Priya and Brett had seen their relationship cool, with Priya telling other contestants that her partner gave her the “ick”.
Speaking to ITV after the episode was filmed, Brett said: “It’s totally fine, now both of us taking a little bit of a step back will actually help our relationship, whether we do just remain friends in the future or we try and date or whatever. I think it will be beneficial for us.”
Priya, meanwhile, said: “I feel like I’ve made lifelong friendships with a lot of the girls. But because Brett and I were the only friendship couple there, it was inevitable that we were going to leave.
“I’m glad that all the other couples in there are super solid and they have a chance to stay, it’s only fair they stayed and we left.”

Love Island continues at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub.
Episodes are available the following morning on BritBox.
