Irish contestant Catherine Agbaje dumped from Love Island villa

Love Island has dumped Irish contestant Catherine Agbaje as well as partner Elom Ahlijah in a huge twist on the ITV2 show.

On Wednesday night's episode of Love Island, a string of Islanders found themselves booted out of the programme in a huge twist.

The public had been asked to vote who they thought were the most compatible couples, with the results being revealed tonight.

Leah and Montel, Kady and Ouzy and Jess and Sammy received the lowest votes and are also at risk of being booted off the show.

Speaking after her exit, Catherine said: "I’m sad to be leaving everyone, I’ve genuinely made friends for life in the Villa who I’m going to miss so much but I’m happy to be leaving with Elom.

“Not everyone gets the chance to find someone that they have a connection with, so I can’t wait to continue what we have on the outside. The girls have become my sisters so it was emotional saying goodbye to them but I’ve told them it’s not goodbye, but see you later."

Elom was shocked the pair were voted least compatible, but they plan to carry on things outside the villa.

"I was really shocked because Catherine and I have such a strong connection, everyone in the Villa could see that which is why I think everyone was so surprised with the result. It is Love Island though, so you have to expect the unexpected," he said.

"Now we’ve left the Villa together, I think our connection is only going to flourish and get stronger. Catherine is exactly what I’ve been looking for and I feel like we’ve been getting closer every single day."
