WATCH: Liberty and Jake were from the initial villa cast

In Thursday’s episode, Liberty made the decision to end their relationship, telling Faye: “I've just got to be true to myself and I can't do this. It's nothing against Jake and it's nothing against me but I can just tell that I'm giving him the ick over little things like being messy and I would rather walk out being me.

The pair will be leaving the villa together

“If I'm going someone 100 per cent energy and I'm not getting it in return then I'd rather walk out here with my head held high knowing I stayed true to myself the whole way through. Even though I didn't find love, I found self-love and I wouldn't change myself for anyone, and I'm not saying Jake isn't a genuine guy but he's just not right for me.”

'Jiberty' parted ways on Thursday's episode

Speaking about their split on Twitter, one person wrote: “It is so sad that Liberty thinks being herself would give someone the ick. She is a lovely, gorgeous girl and insanely mature for her age and we could all learn from her tbh.” Another added: “That cry Liberty is doing? Agonising. Being in a situation where someone makes you feel up and down and so unsure? You have to walk away. Your gut is screaming for you to leave.”
