It comes after 22-year-old student Liam made the decision to call it quits and headed home ahead of the recoupling ceremony on Friday.
Liam, who was among the 11 original islanders who headed into the Mallorcan villa last Monday, gathered the contestants around the firepit and explained that he hadn't been feeling himself and so would be leaving the show.

He told them: "I don't really think I've been giving 100 per cent Liam; I'm miles off that. Trying to find someone you leave the villa with that you care about – obviously that's the goal, isn't it? But when you're not feeling that, it makes it a hard sort of time to find that."

He added: "This isn't a spur-of-the-moment type of thing, so yeah, I've made a decision that I am going to leave the villa. It's been a breeze – it's been an absolute ball. You're all unreal."
Sharing an update with his Instagram followers over the weekend, he wrote: "I'm back. I am absolutely blown away by the love and support that has been shown to me whilst I was in the villa and since I've been out. I appreciate you all like you wouldn't believe #loveislandbaby."
