Earlier in the show, Liam left Love Islanders in tears as he told of his shock decision to quit the villa after his "worst fears came true".

The 22-year-old student was unlucky in love during his short stint in Majorca - and it was a major part of his decision to leave.

After setting his sights on Gemma, Liam found himself single as she went after bombshell Davide.

Then, after dating two new beautiful bombshells Ekin-Su Culculoglu and Afia Tonkmor, Liam failed to form a connection.

Despite the impending recoupling, Liam chose to walk out the villa - leaving the cast stunned.

He gathered the group at the fire pit on to break the news as his worried dad David rushed out on the first flight to Majorca.

Liam told the Islanders: "So, obviously we all came here for the same sort of reason, but I haven't been giving 100 per cent Liam. I know what that looks like and I'm miles off that.

"Trying to find someone to leave the villa with is the goal, but when you're not feeling that, it makes it a hard time to find that.
