Love Island’s only just got going, but there’s been no shortage of gripping and surprising moments.
Fans of the ITV2 dating show have seen a walk-out, contestant Gemma Owen’s ex walking in, and plenty of steamy smooches.
And, with several more weeks of series eight to go, there’s still far more drama yet to unfold.
However, following a shock dumping on Monday, it’s clear that producers are keen to shake things up.
So, read on to discover which contestants have already departed the villa so far.
Who has left Love Island 2022?
So far, only two contestants have left the Love Island villa in 2022.
Liam Llewellyn – Day five
Original Love Island 2022 contestant Liam Llewelyn left the villa after just five days.
The Welsh student, who is doing a Masters degree in Strength and Conditioning, rounded the rest of the islanders up by the firepit in scenes aired on Friday, June 10.
Despite being paired with Gemma Owen – who was stolen by bombshell Davide Sanclimenti – and having dates with the two new bombshells Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Afia Tonkmor, he was struggled to find a partner.
In emotional scenes, he told fellow contestants: ‘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.’
‘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.’
Since leaving the villa, he has finally discovered that Gemma is the daughter of footballer Michael Owen.
He told host Laura Whitmore on Love Island: Aftersun: ‘I’m a United fan. I actually have one of his tops when he came to the club.’
Liam also gushed over the support he has received since choosing to leave the villa, adding: ‘It’s a big eye-opener for me how many people had my back.’
Afia Tonkmor – Day eight
Despite having entered the villa just days ago, Afia Tonkmor is the second contestant to leave Love Island 2022.
The 25-year-old bombshell stepped into the villa with Ekin-Su, and failed to couple up with any of the fellow contestants.
Though islanders managed to avoid a dumping last week, with Liam walking out by choice, producers left the islanders stunned with a text.
Sadly, Afia faced a surprise dumping on Monday, June 13, alongside Paige Thorne as they were both single.
It was then down to Gemma’s ex-boyfriend Jacques O’Neill to pick which of the two contestants to save.
After a tense few minutes by the fire pit, he opted to save Paige, meaning Afia had to leave the Love Island villa after some hugs from pals.
Upon leaving, Afia said: ‘Obviously I’m going to miss everyone in the Villa but I’m going to keep trying to find love.
‘I’m sure Mr Right is out there somewhere.’
While the Love Island star has no regrets, she explained: ‘I’ve learned that I can be a bit shy and it takes me a bit of time to come out of my shell. But I maybe learned to put myself out there a bit more. I did learn a few things.
‘I feel like I stayed true to myself so I’d do things the same.’
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
