As Liberty bawled her eyes out, Jake could be seen sitting down with host Maya Jama for an exit interview.
Previously speaking about his exit, an insider told The Sun: "Jake was really shocked to see Liberty in the villa - they had no idea the other person would be there.
“It was clear from the start they wouldn't get back together, then none of the girls wanted to step forward for him.
“Jake had a nice three days in the villa and had a very emotional chat to Maya Jama.

Jake and Liberty were amongst the first to enter the All Stars villa – leaving Liberty gobsmacked, and Jake shaking his head, saying "what are the chances?".
