However, no one is safe in the famous villa and the Islanders always have the threat of being dumped from the show.

Day two in the Love Island villa, and already someone has been dumped from the island.
On June 4, 2024, one Islander was told to leave the show for good after Joe Essex had to steal one of the girls from the OG boys.
After thinking long and hard, the Towie legend decided to couple up with Samantha Kenny.
As she was in a couple with Sam Taylor, it meant the tattooed hunk’s time in the villa was over.
However, his early exit sparked outrage from Love Island fans.
Viewers were left fuming that they had no say in who would leave the villa first as their was no public vote.
Had an early vote been done, footballer Ronnie Vint may have been in trouble.
One viewer wrote on X: “Ronnie was right there, but the producers are sending sexy mullet man Sam home on episode 2 unprovoked when he could have just been single… this is exactly why Games & USA are rapidly becoming the superior shows.”
Another posted: “Cannot believe Sam is gone but that Ronnie dude still there … please god.”
What did Sam Taylor say about leaving the island?
After being dumped from Love Island, Sam Taylor reflected on his short but sweet time in the villa.
Speaking to ITV he said: “I’m disappointed to be leaving so soon as I wanted to work my magic and get to know everyone a bit better.
“When Joey Essex walked in I had a feeling I might be in trouble.
“Samantha is a stunning girl and I knew that they would get on.”
Ultimately, Joey had to do what he had to do which didn’t work in my favour but no hard feelings.

However, he said that he understood that Joey “had to do, what he to do”.
“It was so nice to meet him, he’s such a big character.
“It was great getting to know him,” he said.
“Ultimately, he had to do what he had to do which didn’t work in my favour but no hard feelings.”
