stars who dramatically  quit the villa

– so, how many do you remember?

It's billed as the summer of a lifetime, but for some Love Island contestants it's far from it. Hunky Zach decided not to go into the villa after being lined up as a bombshell.

Way back in series two of the show, Rykard decided to leave the show to continue a relationship with Rachel Fenton who had been given the boot.

The former Miss GB winner, Zara Holland, also left the villa in 2016 shortly after losing her crown for performing a sex act on Alex Bowen while on camera.

Sophie Gradon also left the show in 2016 days after coupling up with Katie in the first same-sex pairing. Tragically, Sophie took her own life two years later.

Niall Aslam left after suffering stress-induced psychosis during his time in the villa back in 2018

Again in 2018, Samira Mighty left to follow her heart but it didn't go well with Frankie cheating on her. It was a bumper year for early exits.

In 2018 in a cruel twist, Georgia Steel and Sam Bird were given the option to stay in the villa as singletons, or walk out together. They walked.
