Love Island star Claudia Fogarty revealed she feels 'bittersweet' about her exit after being booted out of the competition by Olivia and Maxwell.
Claudia and Keanan lost their place on the show ahead of the final, after host Maya Jama returned with some huge news.
Host Maya confirmed that Olivia and Maxwell were being dumped and they were given the power to choose two more people to leave with them.
After being dumped, Claudia admitted: "It’s a bittersweet feeling considering the whole Casey situation and there wasn’t anyone else for me after that.

"I left with Keanan which was lovely and I’m excited to see my family now."
She recently confronted Casey again days after he called time on their romance.
After not staying loyal to her in Casa Amor, while they had only been coupled up for a few days, he believed Claudia was the one for him.
Claudia talked about being chosen to leave with Keanan saying: "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.

"I miss the Villa already, I woke up this morning and was like where is Samie? I miss her so much, we were literally best friends."
Towards the end of her days in the villa, she was coupled up with Keanan, but they were only partnered 'on a friendship level'.
"We have a lot in common and got on really well both being northern," she said. "The minute he walked in, he was so lovely to me calling me a Northern Princess. It was amazing to have such a good friend in there."
Claudia and Keanan got booted after Olivia and Maxwell picked them to depart the home.

While it wasn't initially clear whether all Islanders were at risk or just those that were vulnerable, the latest episode confirmed they had to pick a girl and a boy out of those who were not safe.
Claudia, Keanan, Rosie, Casey, Tanya and Shaq were therefore at risk, and two of them were definitely being sent home that evening.
Maya explained: "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."
As they deliberated, Olivia said to Maxwell: "This is stressful, there’s so many options."
Having finally come to an agreement, Olivia then announced that they had decided to send home Claudia and Keanan meaning they were dumped there and then.
