Next up, Julia, Yasmin and Jasmine chose Lorenzo, Tommy and Kavan.

Last up, Priya had a decision to make between Ethan, who she’s been in a couple with and Aidan, who she’s been getting to know.

However, she decided to go with her heart and picked Aidan, meaning Ethan was left single and dumped from the island.

He received a round of applause from the rest of the islanders, who praised him for being a gent.

Ethan was the last male bombshell for this series when he arrived with Elicia on day 32.

He picked Jasmine, Martha and Priya to date during his first appearance on the ITV2 show.

His strongest connection was with Priya as he then entered a love triangle with her and Aidan.

He and Elicia were tasked with stealing a boy and girl from their respective couples and he decided to steal Priya.

But despite his best efforts, Priya revealed that she only had eyes for Aidan.

In Sunday night’s episode, viewers saw Ethan reunited with his family members as they commended him on his gentlemanly approach despite being the only single islander.

His mum had some choice words for Priya as she wasn’t happy with her for ending things romantically with her son and immediately calling over Aidan and smooching him.

He attempted to downplay the situation and assured Priya that it didn’t affect him at the time.

Priya held her hands up to apologise how the moment may have looked to Ethan’s mum while she was watching it.

There’s only six couples left in the villa ahead of the live final which is airing in a week’s time.

Love Island continues tomorrow night at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX
