Fans were shocked by the head-spinning turn of events - but already reckon they know who they'll bring down.

One viewer tweeted: "Thats called karma Olivia and Maxwell goodbye... they are definitely picking Claudia and Keenan to go."

Another wrote: "She's deffo picking Claudia" while another laughed: "Claudia is regretting opening her mouth to Olivia - babe just get your bags packed."

A third agreed: "Hallelujah Olivia is out but giving her any power is nuts! Well done British public but hate that she’s going to pick Claudia to go."

Olivia and Maxwell wound up as the couple deemed least compatible after a vote by the viewing public.

Maya Jama announced they had "the fewest votes and are therefore dumped from the island".

But the host added: "Islanders, I have some more news. Olivia and Maxwell are not the only ones leaving. Two more Islanders will also be dumped tonight.

"That decision is not down to the public or your fellow Islanders. It's actually down to you - Olivia and Maxwell."

Viewers were stunned, with one tweeting: "They’re seriously giving Olivia of all people this power???"

Her departure came despite a blossoming relationship with Maxwell that peaked tonight when she told him: "I haven't felt like this about anyone ever.

"I'm not saying I'm ready to say the three words, but I'm en route. I've never told anyone anything down that route."

They then agreed to make their relationship exclusive on a swish bar date.

She even insisted she wasn't feeling too bad about leaving the villa, saying: "Obviously it's sad to leave these guys but I found what I came looking for."

Olivia and Maxwell wound up in the firing line with Claudia Fogarty and Keanan Brand, Rosie Seabrook and Casey O'Gorman and Tanya Manhenga and Shaq Muhammad.

Wednesday night's show saw Olivia at the centre of much of the villa's drama - finding herself at loggerheads with Jessie Wynter.

Olivia told the Aussie: “I said everyone’s been saying since Movie Night your actions were a bit questionable.
