Amber Beckford – London

Masters student Liam Llewellyn lasted just four days in the villa before he made the decision to quit.

The Welsh islander broke the news to the others ahead of the first recoupling, telling them the fact he ‘wasn’t feeling quite himself’ had made it harder for him to give his all to the experience.

‘This isn’t a spur-of-the-moment type thing. So yeah, I’ve made the decision I’m gonna leave,’ he told the islanders, leaving many of them in tears.

Liam was left single and vulnerable after the show’s first bombshell Davide Sanclimenti nabbed partner Gemma Owen from him.

Love Island airs on ITV2 and ITV Hub from 9pm.
