The time has come for the first dumping of Love Island 2024, and it was sooner than anyone had anticipated.
The islanders had been served with twist after twist from the very first day they stepped into the villa, from the first coupling-up to bombshell Joey Essex joining the show.
During Tuesday night’s episode, host Maya Jama revealed that in 24 hours, Joey would have the opportunity to “steal” one of the girls – and he has done just that!
Joey’s decision meant one islander was left single and therefore dumped from the island, but who?

Sam Taylor – DUMPED in episode 2
Sam Taylor became the first islander to be dumped from the villa after newcomer Joey made the decision to couple up with Samantha Kenny.
This meant Sam was left single on the island, and in truly brutal fashion, his time on Love Island came to an end.
It’s obvious the islanders were not expecting a dumping so soon, with shocked faces among those safe in the villa, with it becoming clear no one is secure on Love Island for long…
Following his exit, Sam explained that he understood Joey had a tough decision to make.
In his exit interview, Sam said he was “disappointed to be leaving so soon” as he wanted to work his “magic and get to know everyone a bit better”.
“When Joey walked in I had a feeling I might be in trouble,” he said. “Samantha is a stunning girl and I knew that they would get on.”

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
