Love Island: Shaughna is dumped from the villa after Luke M picked Demi

Love Island: Shaughna is DUMPED from the villa in the most emotional re-coupling yet… as Luke M ‘goes with his gut’ and picks Demi

Shaughna Phillips has been dumped from the Love Island villa after Luke Mabbott chose to couple up with Demi Jones in the most emotional re-coupling yet.

In tear-jerking scenes the brunette beauty said that ‘couldn’t believe’ her time in the villa was over, as she bid farewell to the show after failing to convince Luke to choose her.

Shaughna had admitted her feelings for Luke just days earlier after he began to pursue a romance with Demi, and after confessing it was the ‘hardest decision he’d ever made’ in the villa, he decided to ‘go with his gut’ and couple up with Demi.

As the Islanders gathered at the fire pit for the re-coupling, newcomer Jamie opted to pair up with Natalia Zoppa, hinting that Luke would have to make the dreaded decision between Demi and Shaughna.

Standing to announce his choice, Luke said: ‘When we do talk it’s easy the conversations flow and she never fails to make me laugh. 

‘I feel like she hasn’t had the best luck in the villa but I do feel that is gonna change. This has been the hardest decision I’ve had to make yet and I don’t want anyone to go and I had to go with my heart and my gut.’

Luke then announced that he’d chosen to pair up with Demi, which meant that Shaughna would be heading home. 

The Islanders struggled to hide their devastation, with Paige Turley breaking down in tears at the prospect of losing her closest friend in the villa.
