Love Island stars Liberty Poole and Jake Cornish have left the villa of their own accord after their split, just days before the final, with the emotional scenes airing on the show.

The pair, who were coupled up since day one, broke up this week, after Liberty said she doesn’t feel Jake loves her.

Despite the split, in tonight’s episode they chose to still go on their final date, a trip out on a boat, to chat things through.

‘I’m gonna leave today, that’s the right decision for me,’ Liberty said, with Jake adding that he wouldn’t let her go alone.

The pair decided that the best thing for them would be to go their separate ways, and to say their goodbyes to their fellow islanders.

When they returned, they asked the remaining islanders to gather round the fire pit and broke the news to them.

The pair explained they didn’t want to ‘take up a place’ in the villa and wanted the other couples to enjoy their final days.

Kaz Kamwi, Liberty’s best friend in the villa, was left sobbing as she told her how proud she is of her.

Things have been rocky for the pair since Jake returned from Casa Amor, with Liberty telling him: ‘I just don’t feel like you love me for me and I want someone who loves me for me.’

‘I feel like I can’t do anything right,’ she added. ‘I don’t want to continue this feeling like I have to change for anyone.’

To which a baffled Jake replied: ‘What are we saying then, are we saying we’ll go our separate ways then?’

Asking to chat to him on the beanbags, Liberty officially ended things.

‘I just don’t feel like, if I’m being honest, that you love me for me and I want someone that loves me for me,’ she said. ‘That’s how I feel. That’s not saying you’re a bad person, because you’re not, that’s not saying I’m a bad person, but maybe I’m just not right for you.’

‘I hope you find someone that suits you better,’ Liberty added.

Love Island returns Sunday night at 9pm on ITV2.
