What happened to Kendall Rae-Knight on Love Island 2018?
Before entering the villa Kendall had recently faced the heartbreak of splitting up with her fiancé so was looking for a serious relationship.
She was initially coupled with Niall Aslam and they bonded over a shared love of Harry Potter but then she was stolen by Adam Collard aka the new Muggy Mike who arrived on Day 2.
However after expressing her insecurities and refusing to kiss Adam, he then dumped her for Rosie Williams - making her the first contestant to leave Love Island 2018.
Kendall's exit caused a stir as her sister branded Rosie a "prostitute" in an angry rant online - but some viewers are already predicting that she could make a shock return.
The Blackpool beauty did not seem too crushed by her experience in the villa - given that she was spotted kissing last year's winner Kem Cetinay just a couple of days later.
