The former Islanders were asked to decide which vulnerable couple they considered the least compatible. Tensions rose as they explained who they wanted to dump, while the chosen Islanders defended their relationships.
After receiving the most votes, Jessy and Joey were dumped from the Island. "Wish Joey hadn't pissed so many people off who have come back to kick us out!" Jessy joked.
"Ahhh thank you so much to the dumped islanders that was amazing to watch #loveisland" one fan concluded.
Following his exit from the Villa, Joey shared: "Ultimately it is nice to walk out with someone who has meant a lot to me throughout my time on the show." Jessy added: "I couldn't be happier, I'm excited to see where it goes on the outside."
Which of the four remaining couples – Mimii and Josh, Matilda and Sean, Jess and Ayo or Nicole and Ciaran – will be crowned the winners in tomorrow night's live final?
