Love Island’s Whitney ‘sparks show fears she’ll quit villa’ after sobbing uncontrollably

LOVE Island's Whitney broke down in tears on the show last night when Mehdi was booted from the villa - and has now sparked fears she could be the first to quit the telly villa.

Whitney, 25, "sobbed uncontrollably" after the French model was sent home alongside Mal Nicol after a public vote.

Mehdi, 26, was dramatically dumped in Tuesday episode and told Whitney to continue her journey.

But tonight Whitney struggles to comes to terms with his exit, despite him straying during the heart rate challenge and wanting to get to know other bombshells.

Whitney tells the girls: "Mehdi leaving tonight has definitely thrown a spanner in my works.

"We just decided to start afresh, and it was just bad timing. I never thought it would have been Mehdi."

A source told : "Whitney is so emotional after Mehdi's departure… she sobs uncontrollably and struggles with the shock of having to say goodbye.

"She has the full support of her co-stars, especially the girls but her future on the show is uncertain.

"Everyone is hoping she finds the strength to carry on and even Mehdi told her not to give up.

"Tonight's episode definitely showcases the love between not only Whitney and Mehdi but the girls too, who rallied around Whitney to comfort her."

Speaking in the Beach Hut following his exit, Whitney broke down, saying: 'I don't want to do this.'

As he packed his bags Mehdi told Whitney she was invited to visit him in France.

But after leaving the villa he admitted he didn't expect her to save herself for him.

Reflecting on their time together, he added: "I’d say it was great. We had ups and downs but if we focus on the ups they were so good.

"Obviously it’s hard for me to leave now as we had something good going on but I’m hopeful we can make things work, for now she needs to live her experience to the fullest."

He added in his Love Island exit: "I did want to explore a connection with Leah, but I was always drawn back to Whitney.

"I feel like I could’ve found love with Whitney, so it’s to be continued on that one."
