The Love Island villa - which has been looking pretty packed since the Casa Amor twist ended - bid farewell to two housemates in a public vote.

Rebecca Gormley and Jordan Waobikeze packed their bags and bid farewell to the Cape Town abode after being revealed as receiving the lowest amount of votes in the latest public reckoning.

Speaking after leaving the villa, the duo - who coupled up just days ago after the drama-filled Casa Amor twist took place - revealed that they won’t be continuing with any romance in the outside world.

Rebecca admitted: “In the villa it got to a point where things went to a standstill and I didn’t see things progressing. It wasn’t going anywhere.

“And I think if you want to be with someone things should be progressing every day, not at a standstill.

“It became a friendship rather than being in a romantic couple.”

Jordan agreed: “It started well with Rebecca because we were lusting after each other a bit.

“Then all of a sudden, we weren’t spending a lot of time together during the day and the times we were spending together, the conversation wasn’t flowing.

“We started off with loads of chemistry then the foundations of a relationship, like common interests and personality traits weren’t as much of a match as we thought they would be.”

Revealing who they want to win, both Rebecca and Jordan heaped praise on Siânnise Fudge and Luke Trotman.<

“I want them to win, they’re my favourite couple,” Rebecca said. “Considering I was in a love triangle with them a couple of weeks ago! Now I’m like, Team Luke and Siânnise.

“Luke’s such a cool guy, a funny guy and he’s really nice. Him and Siânnise together, I love it, they’re so cute together.

The couple with the second fewest votes was revealed to be one-time favourite Nas Majeed and new addition Eva Zapico. Their exit will be shown in Tuesday night’s episode.

A total of 14 people now remain in the villa and while 12 of them are coupled up, Shaughna Phillips and Demi Jones are single after being dumped by Callum Jones and Nas Majeed, respectively.

Love Island airs daily, apart from Saturdays, on ITV2 at 9pm.
