A Love Island star has quit the show after their partner was axed in a surprise dumping.
According to The Sun, the abrupt exit has left producers in shock, given the Islander who chose to walk is one of the ‘most popular’ and they had hoped they would recouple with a bombshell yet to enter the villa.
The surprise exit follows on from Trey Norman and Ellie Jackson leaving the Majorca villa during Sunday night’s episode.
A source told the publication: ‘Producers decided it was a good idea to trim the fat and called another dumping soon after Movie Night.
‘What they were not expecting was the partner of the individual axed wanting to leave.’

The source continued: ‘That rarely ever happens. And the person was one of the most popular in the villa. There are also more bombshells on the way that they could have had a better connection with.’
Love Island saw two singletons brutally dumped from the villa following a very dramatic Movie Night on Sunday.
After they group were shown each other’s secret antics, including shenanigans from Casa Amor, chaos soon erupted and lies were exposed.
The Villa were treated to a series of films including titles such as ‘The Mat-Hil-Da’s Have Eyes’ and ‘Wild Wil West’, as the revelations came thick and fast and actions behind closed doors were revealed for all to see.
But they were soon hit with another twist when it was revealed Trey Norman, 24, and Ellie Jackson, 22, had received the lowest public votes and were quickly booted out.
‘Love you all, you’re amazing! Keep your chin up’ Trey told everyone as left, while Ellie branded their exit ‘bittersweet’.
