When did Uma Jammeh leave Love Island?

Wil and Uma's exit is yet to have aired, after the reports came out it was expected to be shown in Monday night's episode, however it wasn't.

It's understood Uma left soon after the arrival of bombshells Reuben and Josh Sunday Oyinsan who were shown on Monday's episode, so likely her dramatic exit will be aired on Tuesday.

Don't forget it's all filmed in advance so the producers choose when we get to see it'll be hard to pin point her exact exit.

The couple leaving comes after Trey Norman and Ellie Jackson where dumped on the movie night ep following a public vote.
