Love Island’s Whitney Adebayo sparks fears she could be the first contestant to walk from the villa

Love Island star Whitney Adebayo has sparked fears she could be the first contestant to quit the show after partner Mehdi Edno’s shock dumping.

Insiders have revealed that Whitney, 25, ‘sobbed uncontrollably’ after Mehdi, 26, was booted out of the villa and admits she could have never predicted his departure.

The French model was dramatically dumped on Tuesday night’s show alongside Mal Nichol after the pair received the fewest number of votes from the public.

Whitney, who is consoled by her co-stars in tonight’s emotional instalment of the show, hints that she cannot bear being in the villa without Mehdi.

She admits: ‘Mehdi leaving tonight has definitely thrown a spanner in my works. We just decided to start afresh, and it was just bad timing. I never thought it would have been Mehdi.’

‘She has the full support of her co-stars, especially the girls but her future on the show is uncertain.

‘Everyone is hoping she finds the strength to carry on and even Mehdi told her not to give up.

‘Tonight’s episode definitely showcases the love between not only Whitney and Mehdi but the girls too, who rallied around Whitney to comfort her.’

Speaking in the Beach Hut following his exit, Whitney broke down, saying: ‘I don’t want to do this.’

Mehdi replied: ‘You are invited to France with me of course but think about you first here.’

Following his exit from the show, Mehdi has revealed that he believes his romance with Whitney isn’t over, as he discussed their strong connection.
