The show returned on Monday 16th January, with <\/span>the <\/span>Love Island 2023 line-up<\/span><\/a> entering the villa and beginning their quest to find love.<\/span><\/p>\n But it proved to be a short road for contestant David Salako<\/a> from Essex after the Islanders took part in their second re-coupling of the series so far last night (Friday 20th January).<\/span><\/p>\n The re-coupling left David \u2013 who had joined the show late as a bombshell \u2013 single after <\/span>Tanya decided to stick to her original couple with <\/span>Shaq Muhammad and Lana Jenkins picked Will Young in the final pairing.<\/p>\n With tension continuing to rise in the Love Island villa, read on for everything you need to know about who has departed from the show.<\/p>\n David, a\u00a0money adviser from Essex, had promised to bring \u201cnothing but good fun, vibes\u201d to the villa, but unfortunately was dumped in the show\u2019s first elimination before he really got the chance\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n Talking after his exit, David admitted he thought that Tanya, who he\u2019d been trying to impress, would have picked him over Shaq.<\/span><\/p>\n He said: \u201cMe and Tanya did have a good bond. We just found it easy to have a conversation with each other. But maybe that\u2019s all it was between us, just good conversation.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n He also had advice for the remaining Islanders, adding: \u201cI feel like people need to be a bit more confident with how they feel. People are scared of hurting other people\u2019s feelings, which is obviously OK. No-one wants to hurt anyone\u2019s feelings. But you\u2019ve just got to be a bit selfish in there.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Previous seasons of Love Island are available on BritBox \u2013 you can sign up for a <\/strong>7-day free trial<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Love Island will return to ITV2 and ITVX on Monday 16th January 2023 at 9pm.
