Love Island viewers were left heartbroken after a fan favourite contestant was sent home during tonight’s episode.
During Sunday’s show, the Islanders were asked to gather around the fire pit for a surprise dumping.
The contestants found out the public had been voting for the most compatible couples, and the Islanders with the fewest votes were at risk of being dumped from the villa.
Sadly, the public vote resulted in Reece & Nathalia and Deji & Lacey being sent home.
Fans were particularly heartbroken to see Deji leave the villa, as he had become a favourite since he entered the show during Casa Amor.
While his romance with Indiyah didn’t work out, the 25-year-old won over viewers with his reactions to situations in the villa, and was dubbed an “unproblematic king” during his time on the show.
See how viewers reacted to his departure below:
