Who has been dumped from the Love Island villa 2022?

Ikenna Ekwonna

In the first public vote dumping of the series, two islanders were voted out.

The first unlucky victim was Ikenna Ekwonna.

Ikenna had been in the villa since day one, but recently found himself in a tricky situation after splitting with his partner Indiyah.

The split was screened after the public vote took place, but there were warning signs that the relationship was cooling off well before the couple called it quits.

The 23-year-old pharmacutical salesman said that being placed in the bottom three was “upsetting” but he knew it was his time to go.

He said: “When I was the first name read out I was like, OK cool, that’s my time done. I sort of knew it was my time when I was in the bottom three.

“I was a bit upset obviously, but still excited to know what it’s going to be like on the outside world.”

Ikeena added that he would be happy to see his former partner Indiyah explore a relationship with Dami, saying: “I’m happy for the both of them really. I was pretty close to the both of them.

“They’re both my mates. If that works out, that’ll be pretty sick to see on TV.”

Ikenna lasted a total of 16 days in the villa.

Amber Beckford

Amber was announced as the second islander to leave after the public vote.

The 24-year-old was also an OG islander and had been coupled up with Dami since arriving.

However, similarly to Ikenna and Indiyah, their relationship seemed to be hitting the rocks somewhat, with Dami showing an interest in Indiyah right before his partner and Ikenna were voted out.

Amber, who described her experience as a “rollercoaster”, also had a fiery relationship with fellow islander Ekin-Su, with the two clashing the night before she left. However, all was at peace once more the morning after, when the two girls cleared the air.

Upon leaving, she said that she would one of the things she would miss the most would be the friendships she made inside the villa, adding: “Even though there was a sort of rift between me and Ekin-Su at one point, I feel like we had a good friendship.

“If anything, I think we both really respected each other and we were honest with each other about how we felt.

“Sometimes friendships flourish more when you’re honest with each other.”

Amber lasted a total of 16 days in the villa.

Afia lasted a total of five days in the villa before being dumped.

He arrived alongside Jay Younger, who he described as his “guy for life now”, as a bombshell contestant. While Jay found a coupling with Ekin-Su, Remi was not able to make the same impact on any of the other girls.

Liam gathered the contestants at the fire pit during Friday’s episode and said: “Obviously we all came here for the same sort of reason, but I haven’t been giving 100 per cent Liam. I know what 100 per cent Liam is and I’m miles off that.

“Trying to find someone you leave the villa with that you love, that’s the goal. But when you’re not feeling that, it makes it a very hard sort of time to find that. I’ve been thinking long and hard, it isn’t spur of the moment, so I’ve made a decision I’m going to leave the villa.”
