Sunday's Episode 56 of Love Island UK Season 13 locked in the final four — then immediately put one of those places at risk. According to Deadline, former Islanders returned to the Mallorca villa to vote one couple out of the finale race.
The couples still in the villa were Yasmin and Tommy, Julia and Lorenzo, Angelista and Simba, Mica and Samraj, and Jasmine and Kavan. One by one, the returnees cast votes for the pair they felt did not deserve a place in the final.
Who was dumped before the Love Island live final?
After the votes were tallied, Mica and Samraj received eight of 18 votes and were dumped on the spot. RTE Entertainment reported the same exit, naming the remaining pairs as Yasmin Hadlow and Tommy Stagg, Julia Majchrzak and Lorenzo Alessi, Angelista Gunda and Simba Kudyiwa, and Jasmine Muller and Kavan Murphy.
That result seemed to set a classic final-four showdown. Instead, producers added a second cut that will shrink the field again before winners are crowned.
What is the shocking twist ahead of the finale?
While packing to leave, Mica and Samraj received a text telling them they must choose which other couple would be dumped alongside them. Deadline confirmed the twist means only three couples will appear in the Season 13 finale.
Sunday's episode ended before their choice aired, leaving viewers hanging over which of the four surviving pairs will miss the live show. Digital Spy noted the decision is due to be revealed on the night of the final.
Why are fans calling the twist unnecessary?
Many viewers reacted angrily online, calling the plot twist "unnecessary" and "a joke." Some said they hate when Islanders — not the public — decide who reaches the end, while others accused producers of ignoring public opinion on the eve of the final.
Frustration also spilled into the vote itself. Digital Spy reported fans dismissing "distance" as a weak reason for dumping Samraj and Mica, with one post joking that Birmingham to London is hardly a flight to Australia.
