Love Island’s Olivia and Maxwell are doomed – they were entertaining but will never last, says former star

AXED Love Island pairing Olivia Hawkins and Maxwell Samuda won't last in the outside world, according to a former show star.

The duo were sent packing in dramatic scenes last night after being voted the least compatible couple - and they took another couple with them.

Now island alumni Danica Taylor has given her view on their chances of succeeding after the show, and she doesn't think it looks good.

Writing for , she said: "I think Olivia and Maxwell will last as long as me and Jamie [Allen] did… so I’m giving it a matter of weeks!

"Now that Olivia’s out of the villa, she could be in for a rough ride and she’ll be crossing paths with other Islanders, who she has perhaps annoyed, at events.

"I think she’ll lean on Maxwell in those situations but realistically, she was never really that interested in him – he was just convenient for her during Casa Amor. If they do make it work, I’ll gladly eat my words! But I really can’t see it happening."

Olivia was full of praise for Maxwell after being dumped, even saying she was happy to be leaving the villa because she was in a couple.

Olivia said tonight: "I am so glad I explored connections  and I was there when Maxwell came in because he was definitely worth the wait.

"We’re going on a  date as soon as we can. I think we might go for dinner or maybe do a fun activity because we are both very spontaneous."

She added: "I’m so excited to meet his friends and family and he’s excited to meet mine too.

"It’s all very exciting, I’ve never felt this way about a guy before."

Maxwell and Olivia decided Claudia Fogarty and Keanan Brand would also be axed from the show last night.

Olivia insisted it had been a painful decision, saying: “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.”

Love Island returns to ITV2 and ITVX at 9pm
