LEIGH Leopards' Keanan Brand was dumped from the Love island villa on Thursday night. 

Yesterday evening's episode was fraught with tension after continuing on from yesterday's cliffhanger.

On Wednesday, the islanders enjoyed a night of dancing by the Beach Club pool before Maya Jama waltzed in to be the bearer of bad news.

She told the islanders to line up in their couples, saying: “You all look like you’re having a cute little time, sorry to crash the party, could you all line up in your couples please.”

She then explained to the lineup: “I’m sure you’re all asking yourselves why I’m here, I’ve got some very important news.

"The public have been voting for the most compatible couple. The couples with the fewest votes risk being dumped from the Island tonight.”

It was then revealed that Claudia Fogarty and rugby league star Keanan Brand, Rosie Seabrook and Casey O’Gorman, Tanya Manhenga and Shaq Muhammad and Olivia Hawkins and Maxwell Samuda had the fewest votes.

Olivia and Maxwell were the 'least compatible' and so were dumped from the villa.

However, the surprises didn't end there as Maya told the couples, that Olivia and Maxwell would be deciding on a boy and girl from the remaining vulnerable couples to be dumped.

Maya Jama explained to the dumped couple: “You must now choose one girl and one boy from the remaining vulnerable couples to be dumped from the Island tonight. Please go and take a seat to discuss your reasons and to make a decision.”

As they deliberated, Olivia said: "This is stressful, there’s so many options.”

After deciding, Olivia then said: "This has been a really difficult decision for both of us. Do you keep a couple in that could potentially rebuild a flame? Do you keep a boy and a girl that haven't had enough time here? It’s been very difficult to make this decision, there’s so many options we could have gone for.”
