Ellie Chadwick was in tears as she chose to leave Love Island
Ellie Chadwick was in tears as she chose to leave Love Island in explosive scenes that aired on Thursday night. The real estate videographer, 24, had been taking part in the hit ITV2 reality dating series and was enjoying a blossoming romance with Finley Maddock but it all started to go wrong when he fell for Elicia, bombshell who entered the villa.
It recently emerged that her decision to quit the programme all together reportedly stemmed from hearing the results of a viewer poll for favourite boy and favourite girl and the moment all played out in the latest instalment.
Martha, Elicia, Mica, Jordan, Finley, Samraj were named by Maya Jama and then the host explained that the girl and boy with the fewest votes were Elicia and Jordan and they would therefore be leaving the villa immediately.

She said: “You have been dumped from the island, say your goodbyes and leave the villa immediately. Another boy and another girl will be leaving the villa tonight, and that decision will be down to all of you. Today, you all gave your opinions anonymously but now it’s time to be honest face to face.”
As he stood waiting his fate, Fin said: “I’m stood here for a reason, for the s*** I’ve done. Whatever happens, happens. Yeah…” The Islanders then opted to choose to send Finley home, along with Martha, as Ellie looked on through tears as her co-stars apologised.

She simply said: “It’s fine. It’s done.” But she then whispered: “I can’t do it. I’m going,” and promptly burst into tears.
Ellie then insisted that there was no one else who would enter the villa who would make her as happy as Fin had and begged her co-stars to stop arguing over their decision.
She said: “Who is gonna walk through these doors and I’m gonna have a connection in two weeks like I did with you? F*****g leave it, stop arguing.
“I’m going. You’ve done what you had to do so I’m going so please don’t f***g argue with each other.”
She then reassured Lorenzo that she had “made peace” with her decision and was looking forward to seeing her family. Reacting to the news, viewers flooded social media with their opinions on all the action that had just exploded across their screens.
One wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: “Why would Ellie do this for a boy? She could have recoupled and still win. Everyone loves her over here. Why would you do this for fin?”
Another said: “They know Finley was using Ellie as a free ticket to the final. That was the ideal outcome tbh,” and a third wrote: “To be honest, if Ellie wants to leave, they should let her go and stop trying to make her stay. Crying over a guy who found you boring and moved on the way he did with Elicia?? The show isn’t about her.”
