Love Island ’s Samantha Kenny was left single and therefore dumped from the Love Island villa tonight after bombshell Grace Jackson chose Joey Essex, who Samantha was coupled up with.

On leaving the villa and opening up on her one regret of coupling up with the Essex lad, Samantha said: “I was true to myself and didn’t feel like it was a waste of my time because I followed what I felt was right for me. When it comes to Joey, I think if I knew what I know now, I perhaps would have done things differently.”

Samantha had been coupled up with Joey for two weeks before he had his head turned by the arrival of bombshell Grace Jackson. Joey revealed to the rest of the villa that the pair were actually exes, having enjoyed a summer romance.

After kissing her in a game, Joey was then whisked away to ‘The Hideaway’ with Grace as they shared many more intimate moments, with Samantha over in the main villa.

The 26 year old’s family were also left furious over the antics that were leaving Samantha ‘embarrassed’ and wanting to walk out of the villa.

However, the two continued to lock lips when they returned, leaving Samantha in tears, and saying she wanted to ‘walk out the villa’. Taking to Instagram after the episode aired, Samantha’s sister Toni posted a picture of her sister on her Instagram story, alongside the caption: “No one makes my little Samanatha cry.

“Proud beyond belief of how strong you are my love. Keep telling them all to get f****d & keep being the star of that show your mans on his way. Thanks for everyone’s lovely comments, we see them all and couldn’t be prouder of our girl.”

In a surprising turn of events, Samantha also disclosed the guy she would have coupled up with if she didn’t choose Joey. She said: “Definitely Ronnie. Ronnie’s more my type than Joey was, bit I feel like Ronnie didn’t pursue anything with me because he didn’t want to go up against Joey.”

In tonight’s coupling, the pair were split again as Tiffany chose Ronnie to couple up with while in a brave and bold move, Sean Stone chose Harriet citing, “we both deserve to find someone.”
