They said: “It was a really tough decision for the couple to make, but it felt like the right thing to do.
“They'd given it their all on camera and wanted to let their friends in other couples have a chance at winning. Saying goodbye was emotional for all the Islanders, as they've become so close, like family, but it won't be long before they're all reunited.
“It's not 100 per cent over for Jake and Liberty, there are still a lot of feelings involved, so who knows what will happen in the future.”
A spokesperson for Love Island addressed the claims, saying: “We won't be commenting on speculation around tonight's episode. All will be revealed later.”
