LOVE Island eliminations are inevitable and sporadic, as new arrivals and evictions often go hand-in-hand.
At any stage contestants can be booted off the show, as only one couple can be crowned the winner of the ITV2 reality show. Here’s everything you need to know about the Love Island eliminations…

Who got dumped from Love Island?
Callum MacLeod – out
Callum MacLeod suffered an early exit before he could really make an impression on ITV2 fans.
The 28-year-old was forced to pack up his belongings and leave the lavish compound just hours after making his arrival.
Of his elimination, he said: “It’s unfortunate that I didn’t meet anyone that I connected with but I had such good fun in there.
“Even though I didn’t meet anyone that I could potentially be with on the outside, I loved it, which is a great bonus.”
The hunk later appeared on the first Love Island: Aftersun, which is hosted by Caroline Flack, to discuss his time in the villa.
Sherif Lanre – kicked out
Sherif is a 20-year-old chef and semi-professional rugby player from London.
He was determined to find a girl, who will be loyal and insisted being faithful is an “absolute must”.
What’s more, he revealed he can’t take anything seriously and has a “pretty ugly” laugh.
On June 11, The Sun exclusively announced he had been removed from the villa for breaking the rules.
Of his shock exit, Sherif said: “In a case of poor judgement, I broke the villa rules and as a result agreed with the producers that it was best for me to leave the villa.
“I regret that I didn’t conduct myself in the right way and, as a 20 year old guy, it’s something I know I will take on board and learn from.
“I really enjoyed my time in the villa and look forward to catching up with everyone on the outside.”
He later revealed to the The Sun on Sunday he had been kicked out for crudely joking “that’s a c*** punt” after he accidentally kicked Molly-Mae Hague in the crotch during a play fight.
Joe Garratt – out
While fans would have assumed that Joe Garratt was initially going to win the series with Lucie Donlan, his “controlling” behaviour towards the surfer had certainly left viewers concerned.
Because the public had a helping hand in deciding who was going to get kicked off in episode 14, following the villa’s vote on who was the least compatible couple, Joe & Lucie and Elma & Anton were the chosen ones.
Caroline had then informed the islanders that one person in each couple was going to be leaving the villa, with Joe finding out he was the one to get cut instead of Lucie.
Elma Pazar – out
Things appeared to be going well for Elma Pazar, having kicked things off with Anton Danyluk right from the start, her time was also cut short.
With the Essex beauty and her coupled-up partner both being named one of the least compatible pairs, it was Elma who ended up receiving the boot.
It was quite the shock for Anton – particularly since this had been the most connected he’d felt with another woman in the villa.
Which contestants are still in the villa?
Curtis Pritchard
Love is still on the cards for the 24-year-old ballroom professional, who is currently coupled up with Amy Hart.
Strictly Come Dancing’s AJ Pritchard’s younger brother was the first contestant to be confirmed for the show.
He has hopes of one day appearing on the BBC series like his sibling and said he has lived a “sheltered life” due to his career as a dancer.

Arabella Chi
The stunning 5ft 10 inches model has been modelling for ten years and is based in London.
Arabella previously dated former Islander Charlie Frederick and has worked with Hollywood stars such as Jason Momoa.
Also, the 28-year-old featured on a billboard in Oxford Street for G Star in 2018.
Tom Walker
The 29-year-old model from Leeds joined the series with fellow model Jodran Hames in episode 13.
On entering the villa, he immediately took a liking to Elma Pazar and Maura Higgins.
He is thought to have been in a relationship for seven years before signing up to the show.
Jordan Hames
Tha Mancunian is a 24-year-old model, who has worked alongside David Beckham for the Adidas World Cup campaign.
He rated himself a “solid 9.8 out of ten. Not quite a ten, no one is perfect.”
Although his type on paper is Jennifer Lopez, he quickly kick things off with Anna Vakili .
8
Tommy Fury
Still hoping he is a knockout with the ladies is professional boxer Tommy, who is related to boxing legend Tyson Fury.
Since parting ways with his ex-girlfriend, the 20-year-old fighter has received “a lot” of female attention.
But do not expect him to be playing the field as he considers himself a “loyal guy down to the roots”, who likes a “confident girl”.
Amy Hart
Trying to soar above the rest of the pack is air hostess Amy from Sussex, who once met One Direction hunk Liam Payne on a night out.
Although, the 26-year-old does not think she will be the best looking in the villa, she is pretty certain she will have the best personality.
What’s more, she has a soft spot for Britain’s Got Talent judges David Walliams and Simon Cowell, with her saying: “You’d never go there obviously but there’s something about them.”
Michael Griffiths
The Liverpudlian native is looking to save hearts in the villa, as the firefighter has boasted about his risqué job.
He said: “I’m a hero! I’m a firefighter, who doesn’t want their own firefighter? Their own local hero.”
Also, the 27-year-old muscle man rates himself a ten out of ten (confident much?). He added: “I would have said nine but I’m a hero so it bumps it up.”

Lucie Donlan
Lucie has brushed shoulders with the likes of Joey Essex and Love Island’s Charlie Frederick, but is still looking for love in the sun.
The 21-year-old surfer said she is unlike the girls who usually go on the show as she is “into sports as well as being glam”.
She amassed a huge following on Instagram prior to entering the villa and is confident prancing around in her bikini all day.
Anton Danyluk
Gym owner Anton is a certainly a poster boy for his business, with his toned abs, and wants to find a Margot Robbie lookalike.
The 24-year-old Scotsman described himself as a funny, hard-working and motivated, however, he has a few bad habits.
Some of his less impressive traits include being moody and an over-thinker.
Yewande Biala
Scientist Yewande is still looking for chemistry in the villa (pun intended) and is willing to swipe someone else’s man if needs be.
However, she said she is “easy to get along with, funny and caring”, although she admitted she talks a lot.
The 23-year-old has been cheated on “multiple times”, however, she insisted she is “very loyal”.
Amber Gill
The 21-year-old beauty therapist rates herself a ten out of ten but “not in a cocky way”.
She has met former islanders Adam Collard and Ellie Brown during night outs on the Toon in Newscastle and has vowed never to use a dating app.
Amber has been cheated on “several times” but warns: “I’m not as naive as I was then.”
Anna Vakili
The 28-year-old pharmacist from London found fame earlier this year when she made the news in Iran.
Spilling all, she said the cameras started rolling “when my sister and I were away in Qatar with two Iranian footballers.
She saw her followers on Instagram skyrocket overnight, as the footballers have huge following on social media.

Maura Higgins
The stunning model is a grid girl from County Longford, Ireland, who has admitted to going to the “extreme” when it comes to guys.
“I’d go extreme,” she said. “It can obviously be hard because you could be really close with one of the girls but you’re in there to find love at the end of the day.”
Maura, who is currently pursuing Tommy, starred in Liam Payne’s music video, Get Low, in 2017,
She has also worked with lots of athletes throughout her modelling career.
Elma Pazar
The Essex native is a technician, who has worked with some of the girls on ITV2’s The Only Way Is Essex.
She has hilariously compared her love life to Britney Spears’ hit song, Toxic.
When asked what her type on paper was, she said she would “get Jack Fowler and Jack Fincham and merge them into one person”.
The beauty considers herself “an all rounder though”, adding: “You could put me in any social group and I’ll always get on with people.”
