There have been a number of islanders who have left the Love Island villa in the winter 2023 series. Here are all the contestants that have been dumped.
Season 9 of hit ITV reality show Love Island UK kicked off on January 16, and there has been plenty of romance and drama keeping fans glued to their screens every night.
While new bombshells joined the villa regularly, islanders were at constant risk of being eliminated, be that as a result of a public vote, or a recoupling that didn’t quite go their way.
Here are all the contestants that have been eliminated from the villa in winter Love Island 2023.
Who left Love Island 2023?
David Salako
Bombshell David became the first contestant to leave the villa in 2023 after a recoupling in episode 5. While David was interested in Tanya, she chose to couple up with Shaq. After Tanyel chose to couple up with Lana’s first choice, Ron, Lana had to make a decision between the two remaining boys: Will and David.
Lana ultimately chose to couple up with Will, meaning David was left without a partner, leading him to become the first contestant to exit the villa in the series.
Anna-May Robey & Haris Namani
Anna-May and Haris were both part of the original cast to enter the villa. However, a public vote ultimately led to them being eliminated.
Viewers were asked to vote for the boy and the girl they most wanted to keep in the villa, with those who received the lowest amount of votes in danger of being eliminated. The bottom three girls were Tanya, Anna-May, and Tanyel, and the bottom three boys were Kai, Haris, and Tom.
It was new bombshells Jessie and Aaron who had to make the final decision about which boy and which girl were sent home, and at the start of episode 10, the pair eventually decided that Anna-May and Haris would be leaving the villa.
Zara Deniz Lackenby-Brown
In episode 17, the contestants were faced with a recoupling, with the boys choosing the girls this time around. The girl not picked to be in a couple would be dumped from the villa.
After each boy made their choice, Tom was the last one to make his decision. He had to choose between Zara, who he had previously been coupled up with, and Ellie, who he shared a kiss with on the terrace, much to the shock of the other contestants.
Ultimately, Tom chose to couple up with Ellie, meaning that it was Zara who had to say goodbye to the villa.
Aaron Waters and Spencer Wilks
In episode 21, Aaron, Spencer, and Kai Fagan were vulnerable, with the girls having to choose two of them to send home. The public had been voting for their favorite boy, and the trio were the least popular among voters.
Ultimately, Aaron and Spencer were brutally dumped from the villa, when the girls chose to save Kai because of his blossoming romance with Olivia Hawkins.
Speaking in their post-exit interviews, Aaron said it felt “bittersweet” to be leaving so soon, while Spencer said it was “a shame.”
Tanyel Revan
In episode 25, the Love Islanders were faced with a recoupling, and as it was the boys’ turn to choose, the girl not chosen to be in a couple would be promptly dumped from the villa. Tanyel had initially been in a friendship couple with Ron, but he went on to couple up with Lana.
The final decision was down to Jordan, who had to choose between either Ellie or Tanyel. He ultimately chose to couple up with Ellie, which meant that it was Tanyel who had to say goodbye to the villa this episode.

Ellie Spence and Jordan Odofin
At the end of episode 25, viewers were asked to vote for the couple that they thought was the most compatible. In episode 26, the islanders gathered around the fire pit to find out that the couple with the least votes would be dumped from the villa.
The bottom three couples were Kai and Olivia, Ellie and Jordan, and Tom and Samie, but it was revealed that Ellie and Jordan were the ones with the lowest votes, and they were therefore dumped from the villa.
Casa Amor eliminations
In episode 32, Casa Amor ended in a highly-anticipated recoupling, which saw the original islanders decide whether they would stick with their original couple, or choose to partner up with one of the 12 new bombshells that entered the show as part of the twist.
While three new bombshells were picked by the original contestants, the rest were sent home at the end of the episode. This included: Kain, Layla, Ryan, Sammy, Frankie, Cynthia, Bayley, Lydia, and Lynda.
Martin Akinola
In episode 40, the islanders were faced with a surprise recoupling, following the introduction of two new bombshells: Rosie and Keanan. After most of the contestants made their choice, the final decision was down to Tanya, with the boy not chosen to be in a couple set to be dumped from the villa.
While Tanya had been the one to bring Martin to the main villa after coupling up with him in Casa Amor, she rekindled her relationship with Shaq in the days following the recoupling. This time, she chose to couple up with Shaq, meaning that it was Martin who had to say goodbye to the villa.
Olivia Hawkins and Maxwell Samuda
In episode 45, the islanders were faced with a shock dumping, after the public voted for who they think is the most compatible couple. The couples with the fewest votes were Claudia and Keanan, Casey and Rosie, Olivia and Maxwell, and Shaq and Tanya.
It was Olivia and Maxwell who received the lowest number of votes, and they were therefore selected to be dumped from the island. However, in a twist, the couple was given the power to pick one other couple to be eliminated from the villa. The result of their decision will be revealed in the episode airing on March 2.
Claudia Fogarty & Keanan Brand
In episode 46, it was finally revealed who Maxwell and Olivia would be sending home, after they themselves were dumped in the previous episode following a public vote. They had to choose to eliminate a boy and a girl from the remaining vulnerable couples, which were Claudia and Keanan, Casey and Rosie, and Shaq and Tanya.
They ultimately decided to send home Claudia and Keanan, meaning all four of them left the villa in one go.
Rosie Seabrook & Casey O’Gorman
In episode 50, the public were given 15 minutes to vote for their favorite couples in the villa. In episode 51, the islanders gathered around the fire pit to find out that the couple with the least votes would be eliminated.
The bottom three couples were Tanya and Shaq, Rosie and Casey, and Jessie and Will. Ultimately, it was revealed that Rosie and Casey were the ones with the lowest votes, and they were therefore dumped from the South African villa.
Jessie Wynter & Will Young
Jessie and Will, Sanam and Kai, and Lana and Ron had been voted by their fellow islanders as the least compatible couples at the end of episode 55, which meant one of them were heading home. Viewers were then asked to pick which couple they believed were the least compatible.
In episode 56, Jessie and Will missed out on a spot in the final, as they were dumped from the villa after failing to secure the public vote.
