REVEALED: The real reason why Ellie dramatically QUIT the Love Island villa

The real reason why Ellie dramatically quit the Love Island villa has been revealed.

According to The Sun, the Scottish star dramatically quit the show on Tuesday night in scenes that are yet to air.

Ellie entered the villa as one of this year’s original Islanders, and had been coupled up in recent weeks with Welsh lad Finley.

However, the couple had been on the rocks in recent days after Finley decided to get to know new bombshell Elicia.

Ellie had previously threatened to walk out of the villa for good if Finley continued to “keep her waiting” in a love triangle.

But the pair appeared to be back on track in Tuesday’s episode, as they chose to recouple after Finley “deaded” his connection with Elicia.

The news of Ellie’s exit has left Love Island viewers stunned, given that she appeared to be getting over her hurdles with Finley.

However, The Sun has now reported that Ellie decided to leave after the results of a viewer poll were given.

At the end of Tuesday’s episode, fans were asked to choose their favourite girl and favourite boy, with the poll closing at 10:30pm.

The results were played out to the cast shortly after, and The Sun has reported that FOUR Islanders were subsequently axed in a mass dumping.

Ellie then decided to pack her bags and leave alongside the four dumped Islanders, leading fans to believe Finley was one of the people axed.

A source said: “This is one where the time difference between show action and real life really matters.

“Viewers have seen Ellie threatening to leave across recent episodes, so the news of her now quitting won’t feel like a surprise.

“But in real time, her and Fin reconnected at the recoupling a few days ago so her decision to now leave is a shock.

“Viewers will see the dramatic action play out in an episode soon,” the insider continued. “The whole fallout of the vote was electric and is going to make for amazing TV.”

“Everyone was devastated that Ellie left and viewers will definitely be left scratching their heads.”

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and Virgin Media Two.
