LOVE Island stars Jake Cornish and Liberty Poole have QUIT the show and left the villa days before the final.
Viewers last night saw them returning to the TV house after a heart-to-heart on a boat and saying they had an announcement to make.
The Mail reports that they will tonight reveal that they are leaving the show after ending their seven-week romance on Thursday.
The decision comes just ahead of the show’s big finale on Monday, which they had long been expected to win until their relationship went off the rails.
A source told the website: “It was a really tough decision for the couple to make, but it felt like the right thing to do.
They’d given it their all on camera and wanted to let their friends in other couples have a chance at winning.”
The insider added: “It’s not 100 per cent over for Jake and Liberty, there are still a lot of feelings involved, so who knows what will happen on the future.”
The Sun has contacted reps for Love Island.
Jake and Liberty’s departure means the title is likely to be contested by the two remaining favourites – Liam Reardon and Millie Court and Aromolaran and Chloe Burrows.
Viewers last night saw Liberty and Jake split up after he made remarks about her messiness and they bickered over a selfie of them together.
She handed back the bracelet he gave her when they officially became boyfriend and girlfriend after breaking down in tears and fleeing the villa.
