This year's series of Love Island may well have had some of the most brutal dumpings of the show's ten year reign.

Sam Taylor being booted out on day ONE when Joey Essex came in and stole Samantha Kenny, for example...

Not forgetting Lola Deluca and Harry Baker, who were in the villa for 0.2 seconds before being told to pack their belongings at the beginning of The Grafties; they weren't even able to enjoy the chaotic ceremony.

But last night's episode may well have been the most shocking yet as Grace Jackson and Reuben Collins were brutally dumped from the Spanish villa during a game when it was revealed viewers had voted them 'least liked to work on the outside.'

The fact Love Island fans had NO idea their decision would lead to Grace and Reuben being told to sling their hook is a whole other story.

Now that he's back in the big wide world, Reuben has opened up about his experience on the dating show and which of his fellow Islanders caught his eye.

"Uma [Jammeh] stood out for me, I liked her energy and vibes, the way she carries herself," he admitted and who could forget the way he threw major shade at Uma's other half, Wil Anderson?

"Even on the date I could see she was giving a bit back and there was a spark," he went on.

It turns out that Reuben still had some thoughts to share on Wil's behaviour during Casa as well as his dynamic with Uma.

"When Uma chose to leave with Wil, I wasn’t expecting that much of a reaction," he explained.

"I wanted to be sure either way she was getting treated well, either by me, or by Wil treating her better than he did in there."

Seeing as Uma decided to follow Wil when he was dumped from the villa we are hoping that he does in fact see she's a loyal babe and treats her like the queen she is.
