The Love Island contestants haven’t even been in the villa a week, but there’s been plenty of drama. During Tuesday’s episode, fans were left fuming when Sophie Lee was brutally dumped from the villa after just two days.

Despite not initially being at risk of an early exit, the motivational speaker and author was abruptly booted out of the villa after her man Harry was chosen by newly single Shakira.

Shakira had just 24 hours to woo another man, after her partner Ben was stolen by American bombshell Toni. Blu, Conor and Harry all chose to opt for Shakira, knowing full well she’d only be able to pick one of them.

Shakira ended up picking 30-year-old Harry, meaning Sophie was newly single and dumped from the villa, leaving fans fuming. However, Sophie on the other hand had no hard feelings as she wished the Islanders the best.

Sophie said: “I gave it everything I could. I’m very grateful for the experience it’s taught me so much about who I am, how I communicate and what I am looking for. I wish Harry all the best, he genuinely deserves a girl who makes him happy.”
