Mass cull rocks Love Island as THREE Islanders are dumped in 48 hours while TWO shock exes return to the villa – brutal public vote and savage twists leave bombshells blindsided and fans reeling - suong

   

JUST when you thought the Love Island drama couldn't get any more juicy, the couples have yet another curveball thrown at them.

When the couples normally start to settle down after the disruption of Casa Amor, this batch of villa dwellers are certainly not done yet.

Who left Love Island?

The producers have not held their punches with savage twists this year, as two old faces have returned to spice things up.

In an unprecedented turn, TWO dumped islanders, Blu Chegini and Megan Clarke, checked back into the hotel of love on Wednesday night.

But as ever with the revolving door of singletons, as two come in, three must leave... wait?

Yes! Three love islanders have been sent packing in the space of two days.

Couples have been broken up and islanders divided in another public vote, with islanders number 24, 25 and 26 all leaving.

 

Billykiss Azeez, Boris Vidovic, and Emma Munro all fell foul of the public vote, with recent bombshell Angel making a lucky escape.

Billykiss was dumped from the villa after her fellow islanders decided to save Angel over her.

Despite only being in the villa for a short time, she had Love Island works, complete with three couples and a trip to Casa Amor.

She said: "Obviously it’s sad for your journey to be cut short but I’m very happy with the experience I had. I made some great friendships and explored some connections, which unfortunately didn’t blossom into anything. Overall it was a very eventful experience."

She left one day after her current flame Boris.

The Casa Amor bombshell was kicked out alongside fellow least popular islander Emily.

Boris was in a couple with Billykiss Azeez upon his return from Casa Amor, but quickly found a spark with fellow bombshell Emma Munro.

Emma caused shockwaves during her time in the villa, with it being revealed that she was Harry Cooksley's ex-girlfriend of five years!

While she found romance with other Islanders, it also seemed like there was a potential reunion on the cards for the ex flames, although that never came to fruition.

On her exit, Emma said: "I feel fine.

"I had a good run and I left with my love interest, so I think it was the best way to go."

Shea Mannings

The exit of Shea was the biggest shock of the night.

After Helena, Dejon, Emily and Remell had all been chosen by the new bombshells to enter the sleepover villa, they were then told by Maya  to choose if they wanted to stick in their current couple or recouple.

The former cabin crew hostess, Helena, was the only one who decided to recouple, choosing Lioness Alessia Russo's bombshell brother, Giorgio.

The decision left Shea single, and after receiving a text telling the semi-professional footballer that his time was up, he knew he was not getting any extra time in the villa.

After leaving, the dad-of-one shared his thoughts on his relationship with Helena.

He said: "I think it was more of a friendship to be honest, so she was probably correct to make her decision.

"It was just a friend thing but we were going to explore it anyway."

He added: "Obviously you never know, but as soon as I found out I was single, I kind of knew my time was up. I was just gutted."

Caprice was one of two blonde bombshells to have entered the villa to shake up the couples.

However, the 26-year-old nursery owner was sent back to Romford after Dejon decided to stick with his partner Meg.

But after leaving the villa, Caprice did not hold back about the reason she left.

She said: "I expected it. From the beginning I felt like he knew what he was going to do.

"I think he’s playing a bit of a game though, but I expected it from him."

Poppy Harrison

As the second of our blonde bombshells to enter the villa in recent days, Poppy chose to try and steal Remell.

She invited the influencer to the sleepover villa, but failed to win him over.

Instead Remell chose to stay coupled with Alima, leaving Poppy single.

After leaving the villa, Poppy was confused on why she had been dumped.

The bombshell said: "[I am] shocked and surprised.

"I feel like Remell perhaps didn’t go with his true feelings, he said less than 12 hours before on the truth or dare game that he’d recouple with me, and he wanted to take things further."

Will Means

Will was yet another bombshell who made an early exit.

The Norfolk-born and bred fitness trainer and farmer chose to swoon Emily.

But while Will means well, he was no match for 25-year-old Irish rugby player Conor.

Emily chose to stick with Conor, leaving Will single.

Malisha Jordan

It had been a relatively calm week ahead of Wednesday's night mass axing.

Before the four islanders were dumped, Malisha was the most recent singleton to leave the villa on June 18.

The 24-year-old teaching assistant was a late arrival to the villa.

She had tried to win the heart of Dejon, who decided to stay coupled with original beau Meg, leaving Malisha single.

She was not alone after Toni had also been left single in a dramatic recoupling.

However, the choice came down to 22-year-old Harrison Solomon to decide the girls' fate.

Malisha's time in the villa came to an end after Harrison decided to save Toni.

In probably the most savage scene on Love Island this year, Blu Chegini was dumped from the villa.

After Shea and Remell slow-mo walked their way into the hearts of the girls, only one managed to couple up as Alima picked Remell.

Blu was therefore left single alongside Shea and in a cruel twist, the pair had to decide which one of them should leave.

After the pair exchanged a war of words and were left decision-less, the choice fell to the group, who picked to keep newbie Shea.

Sophie Lee

On June 11, 2025, former fire-breather Sophie Lee was dumped in a brutal twist, making her the first islander to leave the villa.

The 29-year-old was evicted from the villa after newly-single Shakira Khan picked Harry Cooksley, sending Sophie home immediately. 

The previous night, Shakira had found herself single after bombshell Toni Laites, 24, picked to couple up with Ben Holbrough, leaving Shakira to graft all with all the coupled-up boys. 

Maya Jama returned to the villa, revealing the shock twist that the lads could nominate themselves to recouple with Shakira. 

But partners were left stunned as Blu Chegini, Conor Phillips, and Harry Cooksley all stepped forward. 

Shakira still struggled to decide, asking Maya if the girl would immediately be dumped, but eventually, Sophie was given her marching orders.

Who is still in the Love Island villa?

Love Island kicked off with 14 singletons looking to make waves in the villa.

While originally also meant to feature Kyle Ashman, the 23-year-old was axed from the show days before the launch after it was revealed that he was wrongly suspected to be involved in a machete attack. 

Here's who remains in the villa.
