Love Island chaos as second star quits before entering villa with savage dig

Love Island has lost its second star in just over a week.

Fresh from Master student Liam Llewellyn's decision to leave the villa after just a few days on the show, model Zach Hartman has told friends he has decided not to enter the ITV2 show villa this week.

He was set to be a bombshell arrival, but he has admitted it's not something he wants to do now as he focuses on his career.

Liam sent shockwaves through the villa when he announced he would be leaving the show, admitting he just wasn't being himself during the programme - and that meant it would be impossible for him to find love.

Now Zach - who bosses were hoping would enter the villa this week as a bombshell - has decided against flying out.

According to The Sun, he said: "I was meant to be going on Love Island this year and flying out this week. After long conversations with my family and thinking about what I wanted out of my career, I decided against it."

He also made a savage dig at the other men in the villa.

"Would’ve been an easy year to wins seeing as none of the guys have any game on there. But I’ve got to do what’s best for me."

It comes after ITV2 announced the arrival of two new male bombshells in the form of Jay Younger, a 28-year-old Investment Analyst from Edinburgh and 22-year-old model Remi Lambert, who hails from Manchester.

Meanwhile, fan favourite Welsh student Liam quit the show last week, leaving his fellow Islanders stunned.

Speaking to his fellow Islanders, he said: "Obviously we all came here for the same sort of reason, but I haven't been giving 100 per cent Liam. I know what 100 per cent Liam is and I'm miles off that.

"Trying to find someone you leave the villa with that you love, that's the goal. But when you're not feeling that, it makes it a very hard sort of time to find that. I've been thinking long and hard, it isn't spur of the moment, so I've made a decision to leave the villa."

Liam had previously explained how rejection would be the worse thing he would have to deal with on the show.

"Something I am most nervous about is probably the feeling of not being wanted in a recoupling or something, not being picked," he had said about his time on the ITV2 show.
