Love Island: Eve Gale becomes the FIRST contestant to be dumped as she’s TORN APART from twin Jess

Eve Gale became the first person to be dumped from the villa following a dramatic recoupling on Friday, resulting her being torn apart from twin Jess. 

Following the arrival of two male bombshells in the form of Connagh and Finley earlier this week, the ladies had been battling it out to win their affections.

However, it was Eve, 20, who lost out as she wasn’t chosen to be in a couple, meaning she had to pack her bags and leave the South African abode for good.

Nas Majeed was left with the difficult decision of picking between the identical twins.

In his speech, the builder, 23, said: ‘First and foremost, I would like to say this is a very difficult decision for me. I have gotten to know both Jess and Eve very well over the past week. 

‘However, I would like to couple up with this girl because I feel like I’ve spent slightly more time with her and gotten to know her a little bit better. So the girl I’d like to couple up with is Jess.’

Reacting to the news, her fellow islanders looked distraught as they rushed to hug her goodbye.

And it was her sister Jess who was the most devastated by Eve’s exit as it meant that she had to continue her Love Island journey without her beloved sister. 

After being comforted by their fellow islanders, the duo headed off alone, where they broke down in tears in each other’s arms.

In emotional scenes, Eve urged her sibling to continue in the villa after she had offered to leave with her, telling her: ‘You know I want you to try, I wouldn’t let you walk away with me.

‘I can’t hold you back.’

While Jess later said in the Beach Hut: ‘My whole experience is going to be different without her… I’ll be thinking about her the whole time.’

Earlier in the week, Eve and sister Jess ‘stole’ Callum and Mike from Shaughna and Leanne.  

While Jess and Mike quickly fizzled out, Eve and Callum still had a chance, though Shaughna proved to be tough competition. 

And it wasn’t looking good for Eve as Callum later broke the news to her on Friday that he was more interested in Shaughna.

Earlier in the show, the girls took part in a military-style competition in which they completed an assault course in the sexiest way possible.

They then had to kiss a boy of their choice, with several girls picking new boy Connagh – including Eve. 

But it appeared that she didn’t make a big enough impact as Connagh coupled up with Sophie instead, leaving Connor fuming. 

While Callum stayed true to his word and stuck with Shaughna.

The news of the recoupling came as the girls sat around the pool following the challenge, with Shaughna receiving a text telling them of their fate.

Reading the message aloud, Shaughna declared: ‘Tonight there will be a recoupling. The girl not picked to be on a couple will be dumped from the island’, leaving the girls reeling. 

Reacting to the news, Siânnise brought her hand to her mouth as she mouthed ‘oh s**t’.

While twins Jess and Eve gave each other worried glances as they and their fellow ladies realised their fate was in the hands of the boys.
