Love Island's Connor makes a dig at Sophie after she doesn't leave with him

Connor Durman made an awkward dig at Sophie Piper tonight after she failed to leave with him on Love Island tonight.

The coffee bean salesman, 25, appeared on Aftersun via video link from South Africa as he spoke about leaving the villa.

Talking to host Laura Whitmore, he admitted that it felt "so weird" to be out.

"It's [taken] time to process but I'm leaving on a good note," he said, however admitted that it was a "shame [he] had to go".

Asked about what it was like to be picked by the other Islanders to leave, he said: "It was horrible but at the same time I had it in my head that whatever was going to happen I was going home."

He also admitted he had a "gut instinct" Sophie wouldn't leave with him.

Connor added: "To be leaving the villa without Sophie, it's not nice. But I just want her to be happy and follow her heart, whatever that means. If she meets someone or waits for me, we'll see what happens."

Sophie and Connor landed at the bottom of the public vote last night, meaning that the remaining Islanders were forced to pick who to save.

It was revealed that they had chosen to save Rochelle Humes' sister Sophie, who didn't leave the villa with him.

His departure comes as two new bombshells enter the villa - 21-year-old Demi Jones from Portsmouth and Wallace Wilson, 24, from Inverness.

And hunky personal trainer Wallace has already expressed an interest in Sophie.

Ahead of entering the villa, Wallace said that he had his eye on Paige, Siannise and Sophie.

Could Sophie be swayed so soon after Connor's departure?

Connor and Sophie were long considered the 'power couple' of the South African villa, so Laura Whitmore's announcement that they would be split apart left viewers stunned.
