LOVE Island fans have been left stunned after an OG boy Islander has been axed from the villa just hours after entering.
Last night the ITV2 dating show returned to our screens for its 11th series.
The sexy singletons coupled up within the first half of the instalment and got stuck in getting to know each other.
Earlier today The Sun revealed that one Islander has been AXED from the villa – and they have already left.
Tonight saw hairdresser Sam get dumped from Love Island after bombshell Joey Essex picked his girl Samantha Kenny.
Joey said: “I’ve decided to couple up with this girl because I feel like the past 2 hours in the villa, we’ve been the most flirtatious.”
He decided to couple up with Samantha, meaning that Sam was sent home.
Fans couldn’t believe what they were watching.
One said on X: “NOOO SAM IS GOING HOME !!??”
Another wrote: “Nah they done Sam so dirty #LoveIsland.”
A third chimed in: “Bring Sam back for Casa amor.”
A fourth tweeted: “Not Sam,” with crying emojis.
Sam then read out a text that said: “Sam you are single and therefore you are dumped from the Island.
“Please pack your bags and say your goodbyes.”
Joey put his head in his hands and said: “I feel so awful.”
The Essex lad was revealed as the first ever celebrity bombshell last night.
The former Towie star didn’t waste any time getting to know the girls.
During tonight’s episode he had to snog three girls during a game of dares.
Joey kissed Harriett Blackmore, Nicole Samuel and Samantha.
Love Island 2024 couples
The Islanders are all 'coupled up' in the villa.
The couples so far include:
- Mimii Ngulube and Munveer Jabbal.
- Nicole Samuel and Sean Stone.
- Jess White and Ronnie Vint.
- Patsy Field and Ayo Odukoya.
- Samantha Kenny and Joey Essex.
- Harriet Blackmore and Ciaran Davies.
The star obviously found a connection the most with Samantha as he’s stolen Sam’s girl.
Joey is keen to find The One during his stint in the villa.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun before landing in Majorca, Joey, 33, said: “I feel like Joey Bond, the name’s Essex, Joey Essex. It felt like a military operation, not even the journey itself but the process of even getting through the application and to this point.
“I got on the plane to Ibiza. I made sure I wore my mask when I went out for dinner and then we got the boat over to Majorca to a villa hidden in the mountains in the middle of nowhere.
“I’m extremely single right now, so I’m praying that I’m going to walk out of the villa hand in hand with the love of my life. That’s my main aim and all I care about.
“It’s difficult for me to meet girls as they judge me based on a persona so I think this experience will allow people to see the real me.”
