Love Island's Claudia and Keanan dumped after Olivia and Maxwell's decision

Claudia and Keanan have left the Love Island villa in a savage quadruple dumping, after Wednesday night's shocking twist and cliffhanger.

The decision was made by Olivia Hawkins and Maxwell Samuda, who were told that they had been voted as the least compatible couple by the public and had been dumped from the show.

After show host Maya Jama delivered the news to the pair, she then shocked the Islanders - and the viewers at home - as she announced one more couple would be leaving the show.

Maya then dropped the bombshell that Olivia and Maxwell would be deciding which couple to send home, before the episode ended on a cliffhanger. The dumped pair had to choose one boy and one girl from the three remaining vulnerable couples; Shaq and Tanya, Keanan and Claudia and Casey and Rosie.

Maya told them: "You must now choose one girl and one boy from the remaining vulnerable couples to be dumped from the Island tonight. Please go and take a seat to discuss your reasons and to make a decision."

Returning to the islanders after coming to a decision, Olivia explained: "This has been a really difficult decision for both of us. Do you keep a couple in that could potentially rebuild a flame? Do you keep a boy and a girl that haven't had enough time here? It's been very difficult to make this decision, there's so many options we could have gone for."

They confirmed the two islanders leaving would be newly formed couple Keanan and Claudia. "I'm so sorry," mouthed Olivia as Claudia insisted: "I'm ready." Despite their recent troubles, Claudia pulled Casey in for a hug and told him: "I'm ready, honestly."

Speaking to the camera after being dumped, the blonde bombshell said: "So I didn't find love but there's someone out there for me on the outside and I can't wait to go out and find them!"

Speaking after their explosive exit, Olivia said: "It was an absolute whirlwind experience. I am overjoyed to be leaving with Maxwell just as we became exclusive. I found what I was looking for, so I’m excited to get home and see my friends and family and continue on my journey with Maxwell."

After making their big decision, Maxwell discussed how he felt to leave the villa: "Mixed emotions, I’m very happy to be leaving with somebody that I really like and have a strong connection with. I’m excited about moving forward with my relationship with Olivia but at the same time"

Harbouring no ill feelings towards Olivia and Maxwell for their decision, Claudia said: "It’s a bittersweet feeling considering the whole Casey situation and there wasn’t anyone else for me after that. I left with Kenan which was lovely and I’m excited to see my family now.

"It would have been nice to stay if someone came in for me but Olivia and Maxwell picking me and Keanan was the right decision, everyone else had a connection and we didn’t."

Love Island continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV and ITVX.
