Love Island star Robyn has broken her silence following her dramatic exit from the villa, becoming the first contestant to be dumped from the series. The emotional departure came after a tense recoupling that left one girl single and vulnerable.
Dramatic Recoupling Leads to Dumping
In the latest episode, aired on June 10, the boys took turns choosing their partners. Sean predictably stuck with Lola, while Samraj selected Mica despite a rocky journey. Kavan shook things up by choosing Jasmine, and Lorenzo, unsure of his feelings, picked Priya. Aidan paired up with Yasmin.
This left Ellie, Robyn, and Angelista single and vulnerable. A text message announced the arrival of two new bombshells, Simba and Tommy, who would decide their fates. Simba chose Angelista, and Tommy selected Ellie, leaving Robyn single. A final text confirmed her dumping: 'You are now single and therefore dumped from the Island.'
Robyn's Emotional Farewell
Robyn broke down in tears as she said goodbye to the girls in the dressing room. Since leaving the villa, she spoke out for the first time, saying: 'It's bittersweet. I've made friends for life, but I'm genuinely happy. It was definitely my time.'
Regarding her connection with George, who left earlier, she added: 'I really enjoyed getting to know George. It's unfortunate that he had to go home, but I hope he's okay. That was my main concern. We really hit it off straight away and he was a lovely boy. I'm looking forward to speaking to him when I'm home.'
Fan Reactions
Viewers reacted swiftly online. One said: 'Wow that's brutal Angelista and Ellie saved.' Another commented: 'Ellie is like a cat with nine lives in there. She's been saved from being dumped THREE times and it's only been on over a week, is this a record? Obsessed with her and her bags.'
Some fans questioned the dumping decisions: 'Does feel like there are some questionable dumpings every year. Really should be as simple as binning off the boring people.' While another posted: 'Bye Robyn, you were a little whirlwind.'
Love Island continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
