The islanders were forced to vote for the 'least compatible' couples during their final dates and Will was left vulnerable after he and his girlfriend Jessie were in the bottom three.
They were then dumped from the villa following a public vote and exited just a day before the final, leaving the four remaining couples in the final.
The Aussie Love Island contestant was dumped from the villa alongside her boyfriend Will Young as they were the last couple to leave ahead of the final.
The pair were fan-faves on the show but ended up in the bottom three couples after their fellow islanders were forced to vote for the 'least compatible' couples.
Rosie and Casey were both dumped after the public were asked to vote for their favourite couples - leaving the newest villa couple to be vulnerable.
Ultimately, they received the least votes and were sent packing just a week before the final.
Casey was dumped from the villa alongside Rosie after they received the least votes following a public vote for favourite couples.
Casey and Rosie were in the bottom three alongside Tanya & Shaq and Will and Jessie, but received the fewest votes so they ended up leaving the villa just days before the final.
Claudia and Keanan were dumped after Olivia Hawkins and Maxwell Samuda were tasked with picking which couple should leave the villa next, after receiving the fewest votes when the public were asked to vote for the most compatible couples.
Keanan had only been in the villa for a few days, coupling up with Claudia after her original partner Casey had his head turned by Rosie.
Keanan's Love island journey came to an abrupt end after just a few days, after he coupled up with Claudia following her split from Casey, only to be among the couples who received the fewest votes from the public in a compatibility vote.
It was up to Olivia and Maxwell, who received the fewest votes, to decide which other couple should leave and they opted for Keanan and Claudia.
Maxwell arrived as a Love Island bombshell during the Casa Amor stage of the show, where he soon clicked with Olivia.
Olivia chose to re-couple with Maxwell, bringing him back to the main villa where they stayed together for a week and a half before being dumped following a public vote.
Olivia was dumped with partner Maxwell six weeks into her Love Island experience. The actress had a turbulent time in the villa, having romances with Tom Clare and Kai Fagan before she found a connection with Maxwell.
She was in the villa from week one, where she arrived with the original line-up, but she and Maxwell were voted out after the public had to vote for the couples they thought were most compatible.
Martin was brought back into the villa by Tanya after they hit it off in Casa Amor, however, once she returned to the main villa she realised how strong her feelings were for Shaq, leaving Martin single at the next recoupling.
He was dumped from the Island just a week into his villa journey.
When asked in his exit interview about Tanya and Shaq's relationship, Martin spilled: "Genuinely, I think Shaq might be in love with her. But I don’t think she’s in love with him."
8 Casa Amor bombshells were dumped from the villa following the dramatic re-coupling which saw the OG Islanders choose whether they wanted to 'stick' with their original partners or 'twist' and re-couple with one of the new Casa Amor bombshells.
Olivia and Kai both chose to re-couple with new bombshells, as did Tanya, leaving Shaq single.
Here are the eight bombshells who were dumped:
Bombshell Jordan was dumped with partner Ellie just as the romance began blooming.
He and Ellie had to leave after receiving the fewest votes when the public had their say on who they thought was the most compatible couple.
Ellie was dumped from Love Island with partner Jordan Odofin after their romance had only just got going. They received the fewest votes from the public when viewers were asked to vote for who they thought was the most compatible couple.
After arriving as a bombshell, Ellie had a brief romance with Tom Clare, who she kissed, before growing close to bombshell Jordan who was in the villa for less than two weeks.
Tanyel was dumped less than four weeks into her Love Island experience after being left single at a re-coupling.
She'd been pursuing a romance with bombshell Jordan Odofin, but he coupled up with Ellie Spence instead.
After leaving the villa Tanyel said she 'had a feeling' she'd be the Islander heading home, saying in her exit interview: "Going into the fire pit, I just had a weird feeling that I was going to be leaving the Villa. I like Jordan as a person, but I knew that if he had chosen to couple up with me, I’d have been forcing it. I knew there was no spark."
Spencer left Love Island alongside Aaron after the girls had to decide which lads should be dumped.
He failed to find love in the villa in his short time there, after entering as a bombshell with Ellie.
Spencer said as he left: "It’s a shame; me and Tanyel had just started to get to know each other, I’m sad to leave everyone but I made some good friends and met some amazing people but I didn’t find love. The vibe with Tanyel is kind of complicated.
"We didn’t really have much in the first week. We gave each other the eyes here and there and a bit of flirting. But because I was exploring with Liv and she was exploring with Kai, it was kind of off the table at the time. But she’s a strong girl, very fiery, definitely. Sexual attraction was definitely there. I think she fancied me, too. We did vibe but I think it got cut short."
Aaron was dumped from Love Island series nine after the girls were tasked with deciding which boys should leave the villa.
He was dumped alongside Spencer Wilks, who arrived as a bombshell just two weeks into the show.
Aaron took part originally in Love Island Australia season three, but unfortunately he's search for love continues.
Zara was dumped after a rollercoaster journey in the villa, having found herself in a love triangle with Tom and Olivia in her first few days of being on Love Island.
She was dumped after she was left single at a dramatic recoupling.
Zara said of her brief romance with Tom: "I genuinely think me and Tom calling it a day was the best thing that we could have done because we weren’t ever actually on the same page. Like a flame, we burned quick, and it was just more physical attraction. The fact we weren’t each other's types intrigued us to try and make a go of it, but ultimately it didn’t work out."
Anna-May was dumped just 10 days into her villa experience, after bombshells Jessie and Aaron were tasked with picking between her, Tanya, Tom, Haris, Tanyel and Kai who received the lowest votes in a public vote.
Jessie said of their decision to dump Anna-May and Haris: "We had to make our decision on who we think has the most potential to continue to grow and develop. And we personally think these two people have had a lot of opportunity however we just don't know if there's much further they can go. So the Islanders we have decided we are sending home tonight...I am so, so sorry. Anna-May, so sorry, and Haris."
Anna-May said she's 'made some really good friendhsips during her time in the villa.
Haris was dumped alongside Anna-May 10 days into his Love Island experience, but said the whole experience was 'exciting, nerve-wracking and memorable'.
He was growing close to Olivia, but bombshell Aaron – who had to decide who was dumped – had just taken her on a date.
"From the get-go me and her had a mutual attraction to each other," Haris recalled, adding: "I hope she does well and she finds the right boy for herself. I'd expect her to get to know people that are coming through."
David Salako was the first constant to be dumped from Love Island following a brutal elimination.
The islanders took part in their second re-coupling of the series, which sadly left David single, leaving him to exit the villa.
During his exit interview, he said: "Me and Tanya did have a good bond. We just found it easy to have a conversation with each other. But maybe that’s all it was between us, just good conversation."
He also had some advice for the remaining Islanders "I feel like people need to be a bit more confident with how they feel. People are scared of hurting other people’s feelings, which is obviously OK. No-one wants to hurt anyone’s feelings. But you’ve just got to be a bit selfish in there."
So, which contestants have remained in the villa?
